I see "deforestation" as the destruction of an existing ecosystem. Convincing people on the internet to care for local ecosystems is a fool's errand. I see your point about cartoon ecologism, but you seem to be jumping way to

I think most people reading a headline about tree count would care primarily about deforestation and loss of habitat of indigenous species. This article isn't about that, and explicitely states it doesn't touch deforestation per s

This case has a very specific legal framing to it, but border agents don't actually need anything more than suspicion to keep you locked for a day or two. Then it could last a lot longer. Technically they don't have the right to

To note, this isn't just banning random scams: calls coming from a known entity, but abusing their existing relation to push marketing calls also fall under this law. For instance your main bank calling you for "special offers&quo

I always wondered how actually cheaper a QR menu is, compared for instance to an android tablet you set there or pass to the client so they order. People immediately see the cost of a tablet, the issues with charging, building the app and u

Good point. IMHO we're thinking of too much in single entities doing everything. Right now it's kinda the world we live in, with Apple or Google doing the total vertical integration from chip design to retail shops, but it doesn&#

Slightly besides your point, but it's interesting how many here naturally ponder about how the current winner could or "should" keep winning, instead of how another company could become a competitor by doing the more clever

You're right on the principle, and this camera is purposefully aimed at a subpar viewfinder experience. As a comparison point, many people shoot street photography "from the hip", aiming the camera at the rough spot they want

For most foreign dishes you can't just compare the total price to local food. I'm saying that having ordered pizza in Japan, and an actually good one with Buffala for instance will be twice to three times the price you'd pay

If the tooling allows rollbacking X, Y and Z as a set, it could make sense ? I'm also on the "compare to the main branch" camp in general, but will sometimes end up with a set of X,Y,Z branches that have different purposes bu

Yes, but the situation got a lot better and a lot worse... Sadly there has been a bunch of pretty devastating earthquakes in recent years. In particular in Kumamoto the one in 2016 (magnitude 6.5) was huge and many of the houses built at lo

Can you think of anything open-source that has to go through mandatory tests to be distributed and still survived ? There is a reason to it, that's as good as any angle to find why IMHO.

I read "resolution" as pixel count more than DPI. As it becomes cheaper to capture and process higher res content, we're bound to push it to bigger displays (VR included). I guess the human eye will be the limit when we'

Yes, backing up is the most obvious reason to have it live on a server from the user POV. And of course the app vendor will want more lockin and be able to keep the data hostage. Paying for apps doesn't help as much as expected, as the
