And birds don’t have turbines or propellers. I don’t understand the argument?

Being shouted at at work is in any way acceptable now? I never have been and would be completely shocked if anyone did shout at me during my job, no matter what I did. That’s completely unacceptable.

Irrespective of how practical thermic lances are, the likelihood that there would be something more valuable inside the safe than the safe itself was low (that’s also confirmed now by the actual contents of the safe) and that’s probably why

Obviously nature thrived there. Areas where people don’t go are like that. It’s not unlike nature reserves. People are a danger to nature. The direct cause is that there are no people around, not that a nuclear disaster happened. The nuclea

The problem is that even something like “we are doing that” is seen as a promise which it isn’t. It’s just a description of what they are doing. Even no man’s sky was like 90% toxic exaggerated bullshit, 10% truth.

The most toxic, extreme and disgusting hate always seems to target developers. I don’t know if that’s a majority, but I do think that mostly milquetoast boring criticism of large publishers (yeah they suck, sure, what else is new) actually

Often that’s not what happens. Devs say “Oh, hey, talking cubes are cool, maybe we will integrate one” people will accuse them of breaking their promise (which is nonsensical) if they don’t include a talking cube. But this doesn’t happen in

I think it would be wrong to believe that there isn’t spin happening on the other side, too, and I don’t think that truth wins out in the end. This isn’t enlightened consumers vs evil, lying developers. Sure, the internet will remember ever

It doesn’t have the same goals as the Ouya. The Ouya wanted to be the next big thing, it wanted to be a platform. This wants to be a nice, fun, arty thing and definitely not be a platform. I don’t think it makes much sense to compare the tw

It is similar, but it’s also different. I still think Apple wants to avoid mixed mouse and touch interfaces and also wants to avoid switching on the fly between those two interactions models on the same device. Their goal will be to give de

So society is supposed to subsidize Uber‘s continued existence? That‘s perverted and unacceptable.

They still provide summaries, meaning the needed time-investment to get a base level understanding of relevant topics is radically lower. I think somehow dreaming up a local newspaper that does the same in-depth reporting as, say, the New Y

You just focused on local reports adding information but I think even more important is that they summarize information and boil the issue down to a couple paragraphs of text, in turn making the information much more easily accessible. Watc

Obviously not. I picked the extreme, absurd and obvious to everyone example to make the principle behind the thinking clear. It’s for illustrative purposes only.

If all humans were killed climate change would also be a solved problem. Cures that are worse than the disease do exist and are unacceptable. One central tenet also among environmental advocacy groups is in general that climate change advoc

Describing the current government in Austria as center-right is a bit ridiculous (to say nothing of putting words like centrist or left anywhere near descriptions of that government). Austrian politics have been moving further and further t

If they take this seriously then taking the time to “invest” differently in different kinds of games would certainly be wise. Different games have different metrics for success from the perspective of someone offering this service. Obviousl

It’s probably changing, I think, but American Express is also one of the worst credit cards you could try to use in Germany. Mastercard and Visa are much more widely accepted.

With proper context, sure, I’m all in favour of that. I’m not suggesting every last copy of this video being deleted. However, I do question the need for everyone to watch the video to understand what happened. That doesn’t really seem to f

The video of the NZ attacks is not documentation. It is purposefully created propaganda by the terrorist himself. It’s not neutral. (Not that even something set up explicitly as merely documentation could ever be completely neutral itself,

Is it? Google as a content creator is not exactly what comes to mind first. So it could just be them thinking “we are in over our head here”.

I do not understand why you are picking this framing. That makes no sense to me. We can quibble about the veracity of the study and the chosen hypothesis for explanation, but what this is about is people feeling pressure from their workplac

This is such a frustrating phantom discussion. It‘s so pointless, yet so typical of German cargo cult privacy considerations. Bodycam footage can both be a tool of surveillance and opprosion (if the police has sole control over how, when an

It’s a question of perspective and what exactly you show and write about. In the “Ballad” Native Americans really are just dangerous and savage boogeyman, a mere threat like a tiger in the jungle. We do not at all get to see their side and

Those are horrible options, worse than all three alternatives discussed (bird, aerial, satellite). Detail: That’s not specific enough. It could refer to everything and anything. Image and Photo: People do not really use these words to refer

What do you mean by that? Not all movies are liked by all people and that‘s ok, or why would it not be?

You seem to be confused. Being able to bring someone someplace at a certain time can be, depending on the locations, much easier and less time intensive if done from home. So, for example: If your commute takes twenty minutes and therapy is

I can see this sentence being an interesting Rorschach test. Either you think it’s quite sensible or utterly absurd. My own brain was even flip-flopping around for a bit before coming down on the utterly absurd side. I think the maybe reaso
