Is there such a setting in Windows/macOS? (genuine question, haven't used either much in years)

You are (wilfully?) missing the point that the paragraph about cases is making. Many people (most in my bubble) use cases. As consumers the device that we want isn't being built, and we resort to a subpar substitute. Why is something t

You are not the one making the trade offs. The manufacturer is. When they realize that certain anti-consumer features that are not readily appreciated at the point of purchase are possible, they get implemented, even if the benefits you get

In keeping with emerging AI Tradition the response is phrased confidently: "These commands will..." It would be much more accurate and not much clutter to say "I believe these commands will..."

Any analysis that does not cover the role of Rupert Murdoch in all this seems woefully incomplete.

Germany dislike credit cards and pay small sums in cash. Anything substantial is done by Überweisung/bank transfer and has been forever. I never had a cheque book in Germany.

In 10 years we will be deep into the decarbonization of transportation. Maybe that doesn't mean electric. But if you can get 500miles today at reasonable efficiency then this is one of the really really easy things to decarbonize early

That's a meaningless buzzword designed to prevent the difficult debate on where to draw the line. But when it comes down to it Elon Musk does agree that there is a line, and that there are rules for speech that the platform does not wa

Those services are provided by editors and reviewers to Elsevier for free. Reviewers and Editors are _not_ paid by the publishers. That is why there was hope for flipping journals. The experience of Gowers and co with Discrete Analysis show

Or, you know, we change our economic model. As far as I know incentives for more children have historically not been very successful. It seems that in a modern society human nature reliably settles on a birthrate below two per couple. e.g.

I do, too. But that doesn't sync everything that Firefox sync does. But yeah, it's 90% there, and people running their own Nextcloud instance is obviously very niche.

I do as long as it's end to end encrypted. That said it would be even better if I could sync through my own Nextcloud instance instead of through Mozilla Sync.

So you're not the target audience for this at all then. If they get to a point where Android and Desktop Thunderbird have email, contacts and calendars synced, with a UI that's as nice as this mock it will be fantastic.

I nowhere claimed that platforms are like newspapers. I claimed that newspapers provided a function that improved discourse and that has been lost. I also claim that discussion of this function is made difficult by a blanket appeal to freed

> To take away people’s freedom of expression due to the revenue model is arbitrary and inconsistent with a free, advanced society. This is the rhetorical slight of hand due to which any meaningful discussion of this topic is impossible

Our perceptions differ markedly then. I have a fairly plausible mechanism behind my observation: Getting your thoughts published and disseminated used to require buy in from a wide range of people, the publishers essentially. Publishers edi

It's not hard to have a free speech platform. It's hard to have a useful speech platform. Useful speech probably requires editing and moderation and so far it's pretty clear algorithms and upvote/downvote systems aren&#x

It can't exclude things merely because people (or the government) don't like to hear them. But it absolutely doesn't follow that it must therefore include everything someone could say. And it doesn't. The US knows many e

If I were to judge US liberty by the videos of cops I have seen... In the US you can be sued if you lie and your lie causes economic damage. E.g. if you claim that voting machines are unsafe despite knowing that the evidence says otherwise,

Version control configured for text should not split the text at newlines. It should split at full stops, commas, etc... Ideally it also should understand the hierarchy implied. The fact that we are using a tool chain built for kernel hacki

Pointing out that your thinking exhibits a distinct lack of understanding what you are talking about is not an ad hominem, it's a relevant statement of fact. And your second paragraph is amply demonstrating this. I pointed out the phys

I think Maursault has thoroughly demonstrated their lack of serious thought or reading on the subject. But just for giggles and for the casual reader, the lattice spacing of silicon is 200,000 femtometer. So if you encode only one bit per c

Who said the trust is blind? It is utterly impossible to "think for yourself" when it comes to modern science. To fully understand the thinking and evidence that goes into some of these statements might take decades. You should tr

... correct me if I am wrong but I believe that AlphaFold2 required massive computational resources beyond the scope of what most university groups have access to. And Blockchain and MapReduce have absolutely 0 to do with enabling science.

That explains nothing. What problem does the product solve for enterprise, to make it worth the pain? Why don't enterprise customers then do the sane thing that is so obvious to you?

Well punishment is for Strafrecht. And do you have evidence that the US style works? Or was that just a throwaway "of course the state doesn't work!" comment without justification?

That was my first association as well. This seems like a much much harder thing to regulate though... For USB chargers industry had come up with a good solution but market failure meant there was no incentive to adopt it. That's text b

Ouch, I didn't know that... Yeah I really think they shot themself in the foot with making the happy path too narrow. Almost everyone will hit some minor usability thing like that and that has contributed to the negative impression. An
