Curious, why the downvotes?

Cool! And I think at least 30 minutes of my day is now going to be spent looking this up and seeing what models etc etc. Thank you.

If they can do this for one highly complex, many moving parts, integrated product.... do it for phones. And standardise recycling while you're at it.

I am inclined to agree with you. Removable batteries for cars has a LOT of bulk and weight to deal with. More a "service interval" like action rather than a daily event. Still handy to have but not nearly so much incentive in the

We all know it is about motivation, money and economies of scale. Motivation - make money for rentiers, otherwise get sued. Economies of scale - many low paid employees means differences in how you treat them can add up to millions. Result

I also disagree with hereditary titles. But in a practical sense, I also don't think the next generation of Bezo's are going to be anything but obscenely wealthy. And the generation after that. And after that. While the hereditary

Your second sentence, what's the difference? Isn't he likely going to be the next trillionaire anyway, with or without the title of Lord?

Absolutely a fun read! Curiously, it doesn't answer the question.

A while back I liked the idea of visiting the US, buying a motorbike and travelling around a bit. But since Trump I really feel on balance that I'd much rather go to many other places in the world instead. Maybe not China/Russia t

No I had not! It seems like what I was thinking. Take the same idea and put it into Unreal Engine. Add further OS interactions like files, maybe a floating virtual window for web browsing etc. The UX has to be done very well though otherw

Every now and again I think a "Windowing/Compositing" desktop experience replacement in the form of an Unreal Engine based "game" would be cool. Even supports VR. '80s Cyberpunk matrix here I come! pulls out a

What I don't get is: - The police need social capital. It helps enormously if they can be take at face value for "just doing their job". And this would help in the minor day-to-day interactions that makes up the majority of t

This echoes my concerns about the ephemeral nature of trust. Be as positive as you can about it right now. Assume they don't sell and trade. Assume they don't have data breaches. Assume they don't directly try to use it for e

Yeah, liquid nitrogen is not that expensive despite how exotic it sounds. But it really does need to be handled appropriately. For example, while you can put it in a simple thermos flask you shouldn't be in small enclosed spaces with i

This. Another comment mentions that Epic is amazingly customisable. But that is not in the control of the people who use it.

I like science. My kid is two. Major disappointment when Google('rockets') results in only sportsball. As in, zero indication that the word 'rocket' is to be associated with anything else. So I used duckduckgo. Same resu

Well, I doubt the revival process too but the freezing bit might be ok if it was done expertly well. My understanding was that ice crystal length was also related to time taken to freeze. IE freezing faster produced smaller crystals that

"but, for whatever reason, you are noticing it more" Most societies indoctrinate people to "respect their elders" to varying degrees. A younger person having authority over an older person is a role reversal many are not

Why not both? \0/ Obviously every person has their own personal view of themselves and everyone also has their view of other people. Which one you call "identity" is pedantry. This multi-universe of identities is allowed. Thr

Yeah. Different people have different values. In the same way people see "free speech" as being a good thing, "free parenting" is similar, both in concept and result. Clearly, some people talk shit and some people parent

While true, I feel it is simply a more competent prison.

I see it as easy as mental conditioning. For example, Lots of people throw rubbish "away". But when you make clear (by say a trip to the landfill dump) that there is no magical "away" that will swallow rubbish forever, t

I love Jitsi and have a server VM at home for my personal use. But while it can share a desktop view I didn't think it allowed control?!? Man, this could be a family support game changer... Edit: requires Electron app it seems. https:

Cool. Glad you got it going and are happy with it! You've made my day. :-) Two points: - My only hitch you likely won't come across. The LetsEncrypt will need to update the cert every now and again(months?). On my ubuntu VM instal

I agree with everything but...the losing of every violent international confrontation. Maybe you'd lose against other modern, well integrated forces. But there is a lot of the world whereby forts, trenches, gun emplacements are still t
