Yeah, those are exactly the kinds of things we should be doing. This world does not have the resources for everyone to live like we now do. We have to downsize. And most of what you mention is perfectly reasonable and not even much of a pro

This is such a straw man. In general most people making a certain point will not disagree that there are exceptions to it. Just assuming that they are not aware of those exceptions is dishonest or at the very least not very perceptive. Also

What‘s your proposal to get transportation emissions to zero? Mine is an appropriate CO2 price (pricing in the currently not priced in externalities) and then distributing most of the money from that equally back to everyone (meaning those

Carmakers in general (all the ones that matter, anyway) don’t even plan to produce any combustion cars by 2035. I’m not sure where you are getting it from that this isn’t happening. I mean, it has to happen. Also, E-Fuels aren’t an alternat

Your prompt doesn’t take into account what this feature actually does. Asking whether you did fall is not really the right question in that situation. For example: I did have a serious fall (that hurt a lot) with my bike that triggered this

I think legally meaningless CYA statements are actually dangerous. They can suck the air out of actual understanding of the legal situation at hand and, in the worst case, lead to an warped understanding of copyright that interacts with the

That seems like a weird assertion. I really wouldn’t downplay US worldwide cultural domination, whether you like that or not. Especially since you are setting a very low bar here: merely having heard of Hollywood. Don’t confuse what you mig

Sellers can still make it very clear how much of the sum were taxes. Here in Germany every bill, every receipt will contain that information. (I mean, obviously, it’s legally required.) Different sellers do this differently in terms of clar

That doesn’t really make sense. I think the linked argument is persuasive but it has little bearing on the situation at hand. (By the same token you could argue making that argument at all – thus providing this approach as a solution to pro

I don’t see the kind of utopian equilibrium you are describing manifest itself anywhere. The central question is how do you prevent a race to the bottom? And I just don’t see that manifesting itself if abolish labor rights (which to me seem

In general people need to work to live dignified lives. To me the natural consequence of this is that you cannot employ people and treat them any way you like. They are not like machines, their dignity has to be preserved. There are several

So, this works with temperatures down to freezing and below (don’t know what the cut off is, maybe there is none given this planet’s temperature range) and if you heat and dress appropriately (i.e. not up to super high temperatures – around

That is a hypothesis. I just don’t understand why it should have policy impact since there is no evidence for it. It’s currently just a conspiracy theory.

What’s objectionable about that? Can you explain that to me. I’m afraid I really don’t understand.

Why does that have to happen at the same time? It should, obviously, but even today (with not so great energy mixes) electric cars do better than gas cars from an emissions point of view (even if looking at the whole life cycle). Electric c

What does caving to the woke mob even mean? This is just such a weird perspective.

Do you have a right to be published? Free association is also an important liberal right.

That seems like hyperbole. They are certainly not a place where you can (easily) have fun playing around in the water, nor a place for beginners to learn to swim. However, they are still exactly right for anyone who can swim and wants to do

It makes sense in markets where iMessage has a relevant market share. In other markets other messaging apps like WhatsApp dominate (and for those it’s irrelevant what platform you are on). Also, "Green Bubble" is not at all about

I’m not aware of that PR campaign – which is why I didn’t understand your comment at all – so (not living in the US) if this is something that didn’t reach me Google may have well placed their PR efforts even if what they claim is not globa

I do not understand your comment. Could you write legible arguments and tone down the cynicism and sarcasm?

I don’t think that was ever a thing outside the US. Seems consequently like a weird and distorted perspective to me.

Humans can generate realistic fake signatures. That‘s the point.

What do you mean by saying that the consequences of not always asking whether something was recorded in analog or digital are incomparable? Asking that question seems relatively irrelevant to me, especially now that pretty much everything i

Do you think it‘s pointless to talk about the ethics of decisions of other people, especially if those decisions affect several thousand people? Do you think anything that is legal is also ethical? Also, in general I don’t live in that worl

Is it necessary to fire them? That's the relevant question we should ask ourselves. A hiring freeze and marking obsolete positions as obsolete (meaning if someone switches teams or quits that specific position will not be replaced) sho

That’s not my experience at all. I follow all kinds of people I followed on Twitter before. And they use all kinds of instances (some even migrated from instance to instance – I wouldn’t have noticed if they hadn’t mentioned it). Using Ivor

Worker Councils are to be elected in German companies beyond a certain (small) size (at least five employees who can vote and three employees who can be elected). This doesn’t mean that all German companies have them. The workers have to or

Mouse wheels. That‘s the issue. They mostly scroll only vertically. Horizontal scrolling frequently is a massive pain for everyone involved.

The reason for this is readability. Long lines of text are empirically bad for readability, making it hard for readers to find the correct next line. However, the line length Wikipedia picked seems to be a bad compromise. At around 120 char
