Are you seriously using "we can replace them" as an argument why killing the VP, Speaker, etc. is not that serious?

I think the Signal surge is due to many people disagreeing with WhatsApp's new terms of use and privacy policy. I saw many people in my network advocating a move to Signal and Telegram after Facebook pushed the update.

Most cars seem to have a subtle trick to open doors when the battery is dead. Mine (an E90 3-series) has a physical key, but you have to know to pull the lock on the driver's door then turn the key to open it. Turning the key does noth

I can't absolutely say that this won't happen, but given Rust's focus on writing "correct" code, e.g. the borrow checker, etc, it's really unlikely given that one of the largest areas where Python and R shine i

You don't have to say some community cannot vote, you can suppress their political rights by other subtle actions like closing voting centers in areas they predominantly live, gerrymandering district boundaries such that they are insuf

If more people live in urban areas, isn't this representative titular "US voter" you speak of? Why should it be the rural voter?

It doesn't even need to be tax, even mandating that packaged foods' ingredients labeled in easily human-relatable units (table spoons, etc. instead of grams and joules) may help people make better decisions.

How is the Taycan 10 years behind any Tesla model?

This is (velocity) = (displacement) / (time). s is used because of the Latin word _spatium_ for space. If I remember correctly, there was a difference between distance and displacement. (displacement is "net").

What metric are you using to conclude Tesla outperforming other car makers? In 2019,BMW sold ~9 times as many cars, Toyota and VW AG sold 30 times as many. Are we just assuming that its rate of growth will continue indefinitely, even as the

The reboot made 960 million dollars. You could argue about artistic merit of reboots and sequels, but he'll be getting a hefty paycheck for these.

CTR+SHIFT+(ARROW UP|DOWN)should move the current window to the workspace up or down without losing focus. A minor setting on Gnome tweak allows you to have workspaces on all monitors as well.

Not just fine, it's the best desktop environment I've ever used. KDE (and most of its apps) is too "busy", too many options to tweak and configure, too many buttons and widgets all over the place. I don't care about

And how many pedestrians/passengers were killed by autonomous cars during this entire testing period? How many by human drivers? How can you trust human minds so much after the answers to those questions?

In Kenya, you can use turn-by-turn navigation on Google Maps, and it works very well, especially within Nairobi. Other towns may not be covered as well (I think), but it works excellently (voice instructions, etc) in guiding you on highways

Judging from the past, we won't be able to solve this challenge. Some thought that the industrial revolution would let everyone work shorter hours but still make enough money, but the result was fewer workers working for longer, and mo

This is a pretty common point of view, but I wonder, how would this be enforced in a free-and-open software development ecosystem? Who would go around stopping people from launching their own take on a solution to the same problem apart fro
