It's a pure resourcing issue. How many resources are allocated to improving linux desktop experience on laptops? A tiny fraction compared to Microsoft and Apple. Linux paid developers are usually focused on the server side. If next to

Automation? You don't necessarily need infinite population growth, Japan and other nations with low immigration and population growth may be able to make things better than it seems. Look at corporate tax bases and number of employees

Consider it from a bureaucratic efficiency perspective instead then, if the rules are too broad and there are too many exemptions then the cost of gathering taxes increases. The government should aim for a simpler system that is more effici

Power curves are one reason lead isn't more used (they spike a fair bit). The other one to look at is how the tech itself scales, almost all batteries all catch fire easily due to the chemical processes. That becomes a bigger problem t

Only if you are not good at process. If you have solid practices, documentation and system design skills you can make yourself removable, then you can go on leave whenever and things will be fine. A good way to measure this is look at how l

A 360 on a children's swing can definitely be done. I've done it as a child and as an adult. It usually needs to have a much longer rope/chain on it to get the momentum up.

It could be that further up the network they are dropping HTTPS packets, or that they plan to in future. It isn't unheard of to simply deny encrypted protocols at the ISP level for a period of time and I could see China doing this in s

All ISPs, as a rule, oversell. They oversell at a ratio of usage in part due to how networks are structured (8-10 times bottleneck bandwidth is seen as "good" service, source: I am in the industry). There are bottlenecks in almost

I'm a grad of the OMSCS program. The "netsec" subject covered all of the "things that would help" and some in detail with practical projects.

Politics is how people organise and group. There are always ploys for control and expansion. Politics is practically biology, there is a pecking order and it is inescapable. What determines in and out group varies but it is always there if

You are about 5 years too late. Skin trading is already actual gambling, there are many sites that allow you to buy skins then gamble with them and cash out money. This isn't a hypothetical, it is a business model and I would be amazed

You would be surprised. I've issued chargebacks before after offering every chance for an issue to be resolved with major firms (over the phone) and within 10 minutes of making a chargeback I got a call from the head office offering al

Learning that any sufficiently advanced system is usually inconsistent and breakable is one of life's most important lessons. Rules are contradictory, both in meaning and application. There is no master theorem and they are not consist

More to that I think some advertisers benefit from a known gullible community. It would be quite easy (and unethical) for someone to make money out of targeted ads piggybacking on this sort of network.

Australia's policy does not prevent people buying residential houses through trusts or corporations. Ultra-wealthy and money laundering buyers can walk around the law and often do. The only buyers stopped are those closer to median buy

No, but you can claim interest and repair costs as a means of lowering your income and other taxes. Taken to an extreme there are some people who pay net zero tax on millions in net income (they don't mind the loss as there is no tax a

Do those same people get sad when they see arable land being used for food production or large cities from space? They probably need a reality check on their understanding of humanity. We have always been modifying the environment to suit o

Watertight is a hard engineering problem to solve. If it isn't a vacuum or loaded with some other gas then you will get water coming in because of temperature cycles causing the device to act like a pump, which in a phone are a problem
