I suspect it is the same everywhere. At Uni you are taught many things including "things NOT to do"; some seeming quite obvious. I thought: "Well, I shouldn't encounter those "things NOT to do" in the Real Worl

Is anyone really surprised? Aside: for me Amazon is now useless. Not living in America means I need to filter by the sender being somewhere near me. Unless I am missing something, Amazon doesn't let me filter such.

This is true. I installed two stores for games. Only one autoloads. And I have a few programs I have bought entirely outside these stores. This suits me. And that is the main complaint for a lot of people. The option for users to suit thems

Big Steam user here and I agree with you on the updates thing. However this aspect has more or less value depending on what you play and when. Single player games purchased a year after release likely never need to be patched ever again. Un

Fair point re: sunglasses! Not sure "mirrored" would stop light being projected back through but may well help disguise it. Maybe a simple black LCD layer to block the outgoing light might help. Also, I don't want the creepy

On the one hand I agree with this. On the other hand I would like the option to add another App Store who's "Brand of quality and trust to vet apps" I can compare to Apple's store... and so the layers go... On the grippi

"Love it or leave" ? :-P You can certainly do that. But we are also allowed to wish/hope/verbalise/act to make the current thing better. As for what "better" is? Ultimately that's decided by the court

Separate the hardware from the software. The devices:phones or consoles, as hardware ARE general purpose computing capable. The software limitations is where the arbitrary restrictions come in. But as you say there is no legal requirement f

As things currently stand this is unarguably true. The next question is though, given the incentives in place are entirely due to Apple, is that anti-competitive? I think it is. It is also ruthless smart business to make money. Given societ

The problem here is Apples user market capture. Through iOS devices Apple has created a market of users they are the very protective gatekeeper for. Windows PC user market. Not locked down. Though MS has a store you have Steam, EGS, GOG, Or

Assuming the transparency (article says 70-80%) can be improved for clarity and the pixels small enough then it could be great. However you'd have to keep in mind that others looking at your face could see the same image. So don't

We disagree on the topic of "what I am thinking". I touted possibilities, doesn't mean I wished for them! I wasn't hoping for anime style blood! I would wish the masher not start the whole thing in the first place. But

Yeah, I don't plan on using it as a recipe! More a lesson on "See how much time he wasted refusing it when he could have simply tried it to begin with?"

Straight forward blood tests will tell you where you are at. Get a test, get your answer. I would hazard a guess that significant outdoor exposure would be enough, but I am not a doctor in any sense.

My kid has just turned two. He hasn't started with "Why" yet, but I am excited for it. I love the idea of coming up with endless possibilities, labeling realistic ones and why (important) but enjoying the flights of fancy for

Regards 2. , maybe the more "everyone conforms" the larger the sporadic rewards for the outliers?!? Like winning the lottery, most outlier crazies lose but occasionally one weird conspiracy plot wins amazingly well. Imagine you to

We have no concrete knowledge so we're both guessing. But have a look at history and you'll see that not every kid who skinned a knee got some horrendous complication. Chances are he didn't either. Also, he didn't get st

While a good metaphor it still misses out easy identification. Women are often easily identifiable as such. Take that $25000 and strap it to the front of your chest...

The mental gymnastics you are doing are extreme. STABBING someone in response to this is absolutely not ok. There is no consistent social norm reasoning that could make it so. What you describe as mental gymnastics seems straightforward t

Why not the masher NOT be a dick in the first place? If this was an isolated incident, then what you say is reasonable. When it happens often, the deterrent clearly needs to be greater. And when you factor in average strength, generally res

That one was first and I think the best. Novelty of the thing I guess. I am not as tempted to use that as a lesson, but this morning we had our "creepy stalker child" moment. It's weird. When parents watch kids sleep they thi

For me the genius of "green eggs and ham" is that you read it to your kid at about the time they become more picky with their food. So the book is a lesson too. Some days I really want to read this book to my kid: https:/&#x

I see Uber (and Uber-likes) as repeating this ugly history but using different organisational/communication patterns to avoid regulation.

I thought Wikimedia has a version history. Couldn't you just write a "blank" version of every article that hasn't been accessed in over a set time period. And if someone gets there and wants the old version back, they ca

Yeah, but any enterprise that warrants this gear likely also has a bunch of risk averse bureaucracy saying "Unplug that, you lose your job."

Look to history to see why Uber/Lyft/gig-economy is a backwards step for society. We've been here already. Historically low wage rise. People lining up hoping to be picked for the next piece of work. It ended up with the labo

5G communication fine. But trust? I don't want my car accepting information from untrusted cars or roadside infrastructure. It will be interesting riding a motorbike through these years.
