And after 10 years or so of trying, you'd expect the results to be far better, and more people to use it. I think the search engine space is very ripe for a startup, but duckduckgo isn't it IMHO.

Otherwise we'll be called sexist?

I agree. I don't know why some people act as if it's astounding and something you would never think of - that swallowing magnets can be pretty dangerous.

Difference is though that there's millions of free apps floating around. There aren't millions of free wedges of cheese. To a lot of people, paying for software is still a pretty weird concept, and evaluating the "worth"

The more dangerous case is those watch batteries are included in some greetings cards which play music or a recorded message etc. Very young kids can easily chew on a greetings card which isn't going to hurt them, but they may now swal

That's an idiotic conclusion. How about teenagers who play with fireworks and die? Do we need to ban fireworks? Or do we just need parents to educate their children that fireworks are dangerous.

Those statistics are meaningless without comparison. How many children are hospitalized/die from swallowing coins or lego? Do we need warning labels on coins? How many kids are hospitalized/die from swallowing batteries? I'd

I would say that when you buy an inflatable pool ring, if more of the area of the pool ring is taken up by warning messages, than isn't, then we've gone too far. So yes, I think we've gone too far.

Sure. And they were let down massively by their parents.

If your child (Lets assume over the age of 2 or 3), is still eating random non-food items, you have some real parenting problems.

I bought some years ago, and had fun playing with them with my children. If you need a warning saying that eating a magnet is dangerous, you're not very clever. And if your child (Lets say over the age of 3) is still eating random non-

Kinder surprises still banned though?

You mean he massively abused his position. People have been prosecuted and JAILED for reddit comments don't forget.

Just a rookie question, but why the hell don't they just install some forum stuff on a web server?

I feel like some people don't understand the gravity of what he did. He edited someone elses comments. What is the point in being part of a community where the website owners may be editing random comments? It undermines the whole th

Which highlights how idiotic it all is. If a statement is absolutely fine if the person saying it is black, but absolutely offensive and racist if the person saying it is white, then it's the person taking offense who is the racist one

I'm not offended - I've never been offended. I'm just calling it out as bullshit.

eg racism can only be performed by white people.

by mibbiting 10y ago
"and I only included subjects who appeared to be a white man" Ah yes of course - racism can only be carried out by white men after all. What a pile of rubbish. If you take offense at words, things are going to get progressively wo

This is why computers become slower and slower, and people have to upgrade. Because lazy developers make idiotic choices. It's a static list of items. Hardly very efficient to load all that javascript, do a server request, just to disp

When will people learn that polls and "projections" from mainstream media etc are ridiculously wrong on this. They were wrong on Brexit. They were wrong on Trump. Maybe once more countries have results like this the polsters and m

No. Those two have real world advantages that allow you to do things you previously could not. This is just pointless syntax.

Looks like awful readability to me. No idea what they're trying to solve here.

But my point is that are you just "ignoring" the other side of the argument - if you don't put a serial killer to death, there's a chance others will be killed. If you don't put them to death, can you be 100% sure s

Nothing I miss. The Dell XPS goes to sleep when lid closed, and correctly (and fast) wakeup when you open the lid. Battery life amazing as well. So I just shut the laptop, and open it the next day and continue...

Nothing is 100% certain. If you perform a heart operation, there's a chance you'll kill the patient. Does that mean we should get rid of heart operations? If you put a serial killer to death, you can be 100% sure they won't k

I've had macbooks for years. I finally gave up and got a Dell XPS running Ubuntu earlier this year. Best decision I ever made. So much faster, so much more responsive. No massive delay waiting for that idiotic spinner. It's been c
