This is just rail with person-sized vehicles. Maybe you can dub it "modular rail" to make it easier for people to grok, but it's not that weird. Also, you could have them run on the existing subway system and just build off-l

It's simple. Guaranteed basic income would put a stop to that quite fast.

"partly responsible" is a highly context-dependent weasel word. You can be "partly responsible" for a brick hitting you on the head, since you didn't look up. You can be "partly responsible" for being rape

I dream of the day when we start making computers where a runaway process can't take away resources from the control interface. As in, you should always be able to kill a process, always be able to move and close a window and always be

Both are interest-separated discussion boards. Reddit bills itself as more news-oriented, but quite often it serves as a regular threaded forum where the first post sets the context. After reddit got big, we started seeing (well, started sp

My hunch is that a translation is obviously a derivative, therefore you cannot. Edit: of course now you can, but before this ruling you couldn't. Or to be pedantic, you still can't, but there's noone to stop you.

That might be a lot more palatable to people if it came with strings attached. Maybe if you're not allowed to marry and have children if you're on basic income? After a few generations, the problem should disappear then.

Along the same lines, can we also stop talking about how the Great Recession has ended? It hasn't ended for something like 99% of people.

Not the one I have to cross. The crossings are right where the exit/entry roads begin/end. Which makes sense, since that's the natural progression of the sidewalk and there are two bus stops on the roundabout, so people have

People focused on innovating too quickly without building enough stability. Plus, programmers started imagining they could innovate as designers and we have Gnome 3, Unity, etc. All built for a mythical herd of grandmas who run linux, but n

It's not that misguided. I'm one of those people who can't really work full steam for many hours, so to get 6 real hours out of me, I need to be in the office for about 10 hours.

The entire issue is kind of weird. Like, what should happen if I move from Poland to Australia? Will Microsoft have to move my data from EU datacentres to Australian ones? What if it was just one hacker in Australia logging into my account
