Coming to the concepts of sensitivity and specifity.
The sensitivity of this test would have to be nery near to 100% especially when as you said, most people aren’t cheats; just a few percentage points off sensitivity can mean that a large absolute part of the people "caught" are actually innocent.

Reply to comment by Zenmedic in TIL until the early 1970s, funeral homes in the US doubled as ambulance services. If you were hurt or sick, you’d probably be transported to the hospital in a hearse. by LazeLinez

In fact, grooming so rarely that you grow algae like some damp rock.

Reply to comment by tricksterloki in TIL Margarine was originally named oleomargarine from Latin for oleum (olive oil) and Greek margarite ("pearl", indicating luster). by joshemerson
Woo, free industry.
Literally one of the first federal commerce laws: Blatant market manipulation and stiflement of innovation in favor of established industry.

Reply to comment by biskmater in TIL That the character who first said the phrase "fortune favours the bold" - Turnus, in the Aeneid, spends the rest of the story suffering military defeats before he's killed and heads to the underworld, miserable, at the end of the last book. by Equal_Caregiver_4909
A when A. In addition it is also apparent that being lucky causes boldness on its own and vice versa: a person who often succeeds is eager to try, someone who fails more than their share is going to be hesitant with even little risk.

Reply to comment by Hattix in TIL coins in the UK almost always switch the way the monarch is facing with each monarch with King Charles III facing left. by AudibleNod
And that's in a holdover from when their worth was based on being of valuable metals, which was why old currency conversions seemed kinda arbitrary, manufacturing and handling determined the size and coins would then be worth whatever was the exchange rate of the material.

Reply to comment by theedgeofoblivious in Researchers has found a link in sleep problems and suicidal thoughts and behaviors. A study found sleep disturbances were prevalent among those with lifetime suicidal ideation or a lifetime suicide attempt. by Wagamaga
Trying to sleep is incompatible with significant distraction, so it is hard to escape those thoughts particularly at that time.

Reply to TIL Prison Rodeo is a real thing - inmates play poker in the middle of a rodeo with a raging bull and have to sit and resist the urge to run from it in order to win money by gravitasgamer
Well that's inhumane in countless ways. Par for the course of the American prison system I guess.

Reply to comment by MastodonVegetable302 in Disguising solar panels as ancient Roman tiles in Pompeii by Ssider69
That's true, but there's another side to the absolutism argument? Are we really that desperate for roof?
In many cities preserved buildings count well under or just barely over a dozen, is it worth risking the cultural value for a few square meters of solar panels?
Pompei is a special case at it is huge and disconnected from modern cities so power by other means is disruptive as well.

Reply to comment by usrevenge in TIL that the Flag of Puerto Rico's colors are not specifically defined. While its independence-era flags used a sky blue, and its readoption in 1952 used a dark blue to match the US flag, there is no official definition for what shade of blue must be used in the flag. by RexSueciae
Purple has the distinct quality of not being blue, so no.

That depends on how Apple can handle the stuff inside. Nothing legal prevents them from integrating thunderbolt to the plug like they've done on macs as longs as it does not interfere with the port working to standard as USB-C.

Thing is, it is already illegal if done to actually harmful degree. So a separate law would be superfluous, or most likely an overreach of government force.

Pretty sure harassing people is already illegal in the UK, and most of the world for that matter.

Successful CPR is mundane resurrection. Though I suppose it would still be magical if it worked on children hacked to pieces.
