For this point: "If you prohibit people from on-selling their tickets, then you also causes losses when people change their minds but are already locked in by the lottery." You could just have a return program. 30 days out it is f

If people learnt not to gamble by gambling there would be nobody with gambling problems. Teaching kids how not to gamble by gambling can be pretty bad for people who have addictive personalities, getting that gambling high and wanting to re

Maybe allow both options for people who want to keep their saves across multiple devices and one for users that use the same browser. It is a pretty trivial thing to do.

Supply and demand though. It wouldn't be instant, but if people start eating less meat, they will produce less. If grocery stores can't sell a certain amount in a couple days, and if this trend continues, they will reevaluate and

This seems more like an opt in choice for developers of the app as opposed to forcing apps to the kids section (which as you stated would be impossible to manage)

Isn't this just an iteration on last year’s iPhone X? I always thought android were further ahead in a lot of departments (especially hardware). Mainly because there is a new android phone almost weekly, which sometimes uses new techno

I would say it is pretty hard to determine who would be fine without it. Just because a student is from a wealthy family does not mean that the family will pay for their kids tuition.

Canada did! The last Canadian penny was minted in May 2012, and ceased the distribution of them as of February 4, 2013. No real issues either (it still remains legal tender). Non-cash transactions are still denominated to the cent, the rest

I noticed this happening at several grocery stores and some big box stores. With the grocery stores, 4 out of 5 times, the clerk will say something along the lines of "Oh I was looking for something like this" or "Oh that lo

Instead of making it free, could they improve the speed and comfort of public transport? I don't drive because it is cheaper, I drive because it is faster, more comfortable and more convenient (it gets me closer to where I want to be).

well with gmail they are the same email. But with other mail applications, those could be two different email addresses. You are going to need to test all the different email services and find out which do this and which do not do this...

I think the downvotes are for the lack of contribution from his comment. It was unnecessary and not on topic.

Just so we are clear this is what is happening. Removal of regulations that prohibited broadband providers from blocking websites or charging for higher-quality service or certain content. Did they do that before 2015, there are cases of it

Generally curious why don't you use instagram or snapchat, if you are just sharing pictures and updates of your son with friends and family? I assume the main reason is the older members of your family only have facebook.

I wonder how the microphone on an Alexa compares to my smartphone. But either way, smartphones can be rooted (for example with LineageOS), Alexa seems a lot more closed than a smartphone.

I think wireless will eventually work as well, but that future is not now (or close to it). This would have to improve first: Sound quality, battery life (both for the phone, as bluetooth needs to be on, and headphone) and price

true! but the time delay of a dog eating meat is random. I would think most dogs can finish some meat before the attacker can unmount a tv, and some dogs would prefer to...play.. with an intruder over food.

If I was WhatsApp I would offer a larger bounty. If they get the 0 day they could fix it before it gets into the wrong hands. I would think 500k is a drop in a bucket for them, and give them good press that they are actively keeping up with

I don't know if that would work for social sites where you don't need an account. Lots of people just browse reddit/yc without an account.
