Two words, price segmentation, only in that case you don't get anything for the premium except the illusion of better quality. On a related note, in Quebec, Canada, 9 months ago, a new law passed forcing doctors to prescribe generic ve

My thought exactly when I read this kind of articles. Am I that old that they don't teach those simple concepts anymore?

You are not pessimistic. It's another one of those thing that have been only a few years away from commercialization for 20 years now. This is happening so often, there must be a name or a law for that.

The problem with vsync is if the game would be 59 fps on a 60hz monitor, it's going to be presented at 30 fps because it's going to barely miss the vsync every frame. This creates large fps instability when the game runs around th

This is exactly why I hate electronic voting. When I argue about it, people always tell me that it's easier to commit vote fraud with paper ballots. Sure, it's easier for a single person to temper with a single paper ballot or eve

I don't know if this is common elsewhere but to buy hockey tickets up here in communist canuckland, the local broker uses a virtual queue system. You can register up to 4 hours in advance and get placed in the pool. When the countdown

Don't forget you are directly competing against a human. If you are a judge, which one would you chose? The still frame with a robot voice pretending to be Hawking or the actual human?

Wait until you get children. Those bastards have the same brain as yours and tiny tiny hands. Preventing them from opening closets, garbage cans and cabinets is an arms race. You know you will eventually lose, the only thing you can do is s

We have a similar system on a specific road over here and what end up happening is there is always that "idiot" who doesn't know about the system and just triggers the penalty for everybody else on the road.

Chicken or egg. I'm pretty sure they went iteratively until the demand matched the offer.

Someone needs to do an edit of that video where the mass of people at the end bang their face on a door with a note saying: "Sorry, we only had 5... come back after Christmas".

I wonder if that could be useful for people with misophonia. Having power over what sound one ears could have a dramatic effect.

What you are describing is poison resistance where consuming a toxic substance makes your body more tolerant to its adverse effects. It makes total sense for nut allergy where the disease is the intolerance; if you become immune to the subs

Is the angle -90 equal to 270? Is the quotient 1/2 equal to 3/6 Is the string "Bébé" equal to "Bebe"? Is the float 0.555555559 equal to 0.6? Is the color RGB(1,1,1) equal to Lab(100,0,0)? Is the equation y=3x+2

Read the page you just sent me. I challenge you to find any mention of any country other than Canada. Yes, Canada is a monarchy, yes, the Queen has the ultimate power in theory, but the head of state is the Queen of Canada, not the Queen of

Canada is a completely independent and sovereign state. The fact that the Queen of Canada and the Queen of the United Kingdom are the same person is incidental. Would you say UK is not _actually_ independent because it's a constitutio

Here in Canada we still use paper ballots and put them in a cardboard box. The polls close at 9:00 PM and we usually have the projected results by 10:30. I must admit however that the voting system is much simpler than in the US, we check o

I actually laughed the first time I saw it because it looked so much like a Goldberg machine... But it cost 500M$... And they only got one try.

I'm surprised 69 is third instead of first. I'm even more surprised the author is surprised it's in the tops. When I first looked at a password database I actually laughed out loud at how many 69 there were. I don't know

I watch a movie maybe once a week, in my living room, but a lot go to theaters. I listen to music constantly, at work, in my car. The music industry can't get away with just ignoring the demand for streaming because of the way music is

Here in Canada almost all English language content is licensed to a single company, Bell. They systematically deny any access to Netflix and started their own service, Crave TV. They are the one responsible for the great Proxy/VPN bann

Click the "web" link at the top of this page. This will lead you to the Google search result for that article. From there, there won't be any pay wall as it is against Google's SEO rules.

It makes no sense that our base has only 2 and 5 as factors. It is a stupid decision that can't be explained by rationality. The base 12 system is way better. It has 2 3 4 6 as factors. It's so good we use it everywhere. 2x12 hour

They still haven't redownloaded their UMG library to fix the horrendous watermark issue. Everything from UMG before 2013 is very low quality due to a bug with their watermarking technology at the time. This includes all the best classi

I actually like how it looks. It looks like a plain regular compact hatchback. I hate how manufacturers feel the need to design all EV cars with black shiny plastic trims all over the place, weird lights and a hatch door that is ugly and no
