If you can’t define it you cannot say where it is present or not.

Exactly. And the same is true of the judicial system btw, who must stay separate from other powers, meaning that it also has to police itself, which can create its own issues. These are just the (little) costs of democracy. If you aren’t re

Unfortunately enforcing any laws on congressmen is very difficult. In all decent democracies elected politicians have immunity or similar safeguards, since the separation of powers (as theorized by Montesquieu in the middle of illuminism) w

I agree, only the very best designs (and their designers) can nicely mix utility and beauty (or the wow factor, it’s hard to define). And people sometimes overestimate their designs because beauty is subjective, and because all children are

Well, you can't reconsider your approach when you don't like the results. If anything, the fact that this is what he arrived at, even when starting with the opposite position, is proof of the validity of this result.

I think the auto DJ feature is already well capable of that: having tracks playing the all day. But if you want to preserve the original composition of classical music, you have to play the track start to finish, preferably with a small pau

Interesting, i never heard of anything similar before, but i'm quite sure the classical music fans would also hate on him for ruining the original compositions.

Higher sound quality? I'm not sure the DAC powering the wired headphones would be any better (at powering those specific headphones) that the one built into the wireless ones, that's a baseless claim. There is digital compression,

Who would even DJ on classical music? If you have the slightest knowledge of classical music you would know it should not be mixed like in a dj set, and you would not optimize your dj algorithm for it.

Having lived in multiple european cities with decent to good public transport, a 40 minute car commute almost always means you live outside the city. In that case, your public transport experience will just suffer a lot (public transport is

That's not the full story, you're right that they "could switch", but would they actually? Good, working and efficient public transit still means having significantly less comfort compared to having your private vehicle.

True but also building a new electric car consumes many order of magnitudes more resources (and it will keep consuming them) compared to a bicycle. But hey, at least you get to keep 99% of your comfort while making 50% less emissions! (if i

Efficient manufacturing means exactly building stuff as cheaply as you can get away with. There's a reason why roman architecture is still standing: it is massively overbuilt, the very opposite of efficient (they also used to make the
