That's because they're seemingly perfunctory. What's worse than no law is a bad one that doesn't do anything but make you feel like something is actually being done.

If it's no longer (commonly) used, then the project has outlasted the name's so-called derogatory status and should be free from concern.

It's a clever name. What's your beef with it?

That's quite the claim. Where's your evidence? I'm only stating a name many of them have branded themselves as, and proudly at that. It's a point of discussion and quite frankly disturbing people make assumptions as to t

Unfortunately that's their shortcoming and not mine as I can at least correct my mistakes. Other people aren't keen on correcting theirs nor can I force someone to recognize their own.

This is why I use it. I haven't upgraded to Safari 13 yet so if that's where the change is it hasn't hit me yet. Still using an old version of ublock origin that has updated lists and between that and pihole it's going s

Which is going to happen regardless. What would you rather they consume, an internal combustion engine that spits out a deadly exhaust or an electric vehicle that uses power, presumably from a nuclear or less toxic fuel source?

The medium article that was parroted by other sites was a hit piece that lied. And of course the people reading it believed every word without a shred of doubt, and other outlets republishing it failed journalistic integrity spectacularly.

He's not wrong. They don't provide anything we couldn't get elsewhere.

You can't be serious to compare US infrastructure to Germany. In my experience living there, the Deutsche Bahn is not to be trusted to be on time, or run at all. And while Amtrak isn't the shining beacon I'd like it to be at

If the filesystem itself was modeled after a database (which it can be argued it is, somewhat), it's not much of a stretch for WinFS to have been a thing. I was looking forward to seeing it in action based on reports of what it was.

It's disturbing that the first thing you admitted to thinking of when I said "downsizing" was letting people die. What the heck? the basics of econ, growth isn't even mentioned when it comes to capitalism. Here: https:&

if you don't understand what it means to downscale production I can't help you. Capitalism doesn't depend on infinite growth.

Who said he was using cloudflare as his upstream DNS? There are far more choices than cloudflare, google, or your ISP.

You obviously downscale the economy with a population that doesn't sustain or require growth.

No one needs mass immigration. Especially those with high living standards and "low" birth rates. The position you're taking is an outright lie and I can't fathom why it's constantly being perpetuated.

I disagree with the idea entirely. My energy usage is between myself (my company) and the utility company. Why anyone else has to have this information shouldn't even be an ongoing issue. I'm glad my business don't have to de

The anti-nuclear scare was saddening. We could have had multiple per-state with cheaper electric and more efficient and resilient power grids by now.

I'd like to mod my Tesla Model 3 to remove that huge screen and put the screen on the dashboard in a smaller screen behind the steering wheel, and the controls on the steering wheel itself. Maybe even with a reflective visual off the w

As hyperbolic as this is, I agree with it. There's no need to constantly monitor people like this and it's realistically "big brother-ish" to do so. What society, parenting, and/or schooling has failed to catch up

When it comes to any user experience dealing with a touch-screen in a vehicle, I don't want to wow myself into the hospital. I love my TM3 but the UI could use some tweaking and I wished we had the ability to alter it.
