In my experience this is more related to treating the hobby like a chore or job instead of doing it for the fun of it, even though you're bad at it. I think the relationship is kinda the other way around - you'll feel like your ho

Presumably the prison is providing the "office" where the person works from, the Internet connection, etc.

It only needs to be paired to an iOS device for initial setup and configuration. A watch with cellular can operate independently of the iOS device after setup and configuration.

I'm very curious where your data comes from to back up this statement. "The current level of pedestrian fatalities from motor vehicle collisions is the right level" just seems wrong to me.

How would it cost extra lifetimes to people sitting in traffic? If there's sufficient traffic to slow traffic meaningfully from 30mph, a 20mph limit isn't going to make a difference?

If we cultivate trees, then remove them from the earth and atomize them into the air, then plant more trees, they're a renewable resource but it's still causing climate change.

I don't think it's fair to compare what might happen in the future. In my mind the metaphor is more like "instead of having paparazzi at your door following around, you show everyone a card saying that you like dogs and video

I totally appreciate the desire not to want an advertising profile build for you at all! I think that in practice, interest-based-advertising is going to happen, and I think if chrome can provide a way for it to be done without involving so

Can anyone explain to me why this is worse than third-party cookies? *If* this lets chrome remove third-party cookies, doesn't it effectively increase your privacy by putting that tracking data on the user's machine instead of hav

Why would noise levels go up with densification? Densification allows you to reduce car dependence, and most city noise is from cars.

This is how it works, at least in this case. J&J is liable for the full liabilities of the new child company. The child exists to make sure a pool of at least its current assets exists to split between all claimants. If they’re found to

Sometimes funding is necessary to grow income enough to sustain the business or hire more engineers or whatever you want to do. If it costs $40 to acquire a new customer, and you expect a customer to stick around for long enough to spend $9

Stop inviting so many cars to everything - less pedestrian deaths. So much USA urban and suburban land use is dedicated to cars. Massive wide stroads, enormous car parks etc. It makes it so difficult to get anywhere without a motor vehicle,

I'm not sure I understand the "why" here though. Why should you get more of a say because you want something different than the majority? Why should the majority be beholden to the political view of the minority because of th

They want to gather as much data as they can for as long as they can as long as the rocket is inside the envelope. There’s no need to blow up your science experiment until it’s actually a danger, even if you’re certain it will soon become a

The statistics suggest that you're much, much more likely to get KSI'd as a pedestrian by a motorist than a cyclist. We've been indoctrinated into motonormative thinking because most of us have lived our entire lives surround

I don't think anyone would cancel you for agreeing that in this hypothetical situation the right thing to do is to use a racial slur though? I'm pretty left-aligned, or woke or whatever, and even the wokest most commie liberal I k

I think allowing a small margin is fair, for the same reason as potatoes. When you manufacture a module some portion of the module will be unusable and disabled in testing. In CPU-land this is done by manufacturers already - they manufactur

Isn't this a similar argument to "you can't outlaw metalsmithing" if there was a ban on carrying knives?

I don't think the suggestion is to replace gas generation facilities with wind, but to concentrate new power generation on wind. The incremental cost of keeping a gas generator working is very close to zero compared to all the other ex

I think they're arguing that children should be made to wear helmets because won't somebody think of the children. The same argument applies to children of course - where do you put your helmet after you've cycled to school?

Isn’t this just another tool in the toolbox? “Don’t you think about the ethics of using C for this? Some people work really hard on their punchcard mainframe solutions and players like you destroy the concept”

PLease no. If someone compromises one of the contacts in a large chat group's google password or whatnot, they now have the entire message and media history from me to the chat group? This is exactly why iMessage is so useless for secu

I don't know if a fifth gate is the solution to overcrowding: Induced demand would likely mean that more people would go because it was less crowded until it reaches peak crowds again fairly shortly after opening. IMO they're stru

I don’t know about that: the major activist groups in the uk which get news attention are just stop oil, who want the government to stop issuing new oil and gas licenses, and insulate Britain, who want the government to install insulation i
