I'll give you that I'm glad a large portion of the world is living the best life of basically anyone that came before us, but then I didn't say there hasn't been progress. I meant (perceived) religious inclination is a p

There is an abundance of fear from a sky god around the world. And to think that everyone in the past was a true believer in the supernatural is to miss GP's point entirely.

Shouldn't rather the entity importing the plastic take responsibility for disposing of it? As you say it might even create jobs, but I'd say it should befall the consumer to take care of the waste they produce in any case, instead

The examples given were hardly "apocalyptic". And since there are accounts of all of them happening, it does seem to match the experience for some. Which leads me back to my initial interpretation of your comment.

So your argument is that the unlucky minority can just get fucked?

Note that non-residents probably already bring in enough money to the economy to cover the cost of some bus/tram rides, even if they're not explicitly charged for them.

I would hope only a very small part. Sure, don't give money, but it's not like your blood will be diverted to some offshore blood haven. It's one of the few things you can be pretty sure will be given to people in need.

I believe the point for not paying for donating blood is to prevent people from lying about their health when donating. Anyway, saving a life should be far more valuable than 50 bucks. BTW, a huge win for everybody would be not to have to p

Take into account that meta analysis should not only consider the results of its participant studies, but also whether there is enough information to reproduce the study and whether it has accounted for possible confounding factors.

Then the Chinese also have robots? I haven't read those two works of fiction, maybe you could expand on what you think happens?

GDPR is active now. It has been for almost two years. It is just now becoming enforced (with all its sanctions), after the two-year transition period.

I don't think we've gone back to it, it's just taking us longer than we expected.

For dynamic content it may make sense to offload computation to the client (although in the linked article the opposite was found to hold), but it really irks me when otherwise static pages are rendered again and again on the device of ever

If you have a group physically controlling a polling station, it will be obvious to everyone that the election is rigged. Small scale coercion, however, is easier to execute and easier to get away with, hence the need for your private vote

I didn't mean that to be the main point but yes, I would prefer DST.

To be fair, it isn't really that big of a deal. However, it wouldn't be that hard to stop playing around with the clocks either. I'm in Northern Europe and the early onset of afternoon darkness in winter is too real to not co

Geoblocking IPs is not a solution, unless you're willing to let some people slip through and block people who you don't need to block. Also, not everyone connecting from a EU country is a citizen thereof.

I think the point is that the car would not have been in traffic otherwise, thus avoiding any death. Though it does lead to interesting questions about whether the deaths that may occur now are acceptable if traffic deaths are reduced in th

Regarding your first point, would it have to be your own car? Not to derail the conversation into whether or not you should actually own a self-driving car, but what if you just used a shared car for your commute? It would mean the car does

This is OT, but workflowy has a really bad website. No information at all as to what it is, just a sign up page. How did you find out about it?

There are many forms of socialism, quite different from each other. You're likely referring to the Soviet model with state ownership, but the welfare state example is pretty much the Nordic model and social democracy.

Wow, I've had a completely different experience to others. I think the trackpad is great, comparable to my Air 13 although slightly wanting in tap to click. No palm detection issues. I guess you just need to give it a try yourself.

I find that hard to believe, given that Finland, sitting between Russia and Sweden and Norway, is not a part of Russia.
