To be clear: I'm mostly complaining about the general concept of people giving "I like A" answers to "should we allow people to choose B over A" questions. Your comment was an example of that, if not a particularly

That's interesting. Is that incompatibility specific to the Flip 3? I have a Fold 4, and Google Wallet works for me.

Would giving people the ability to opt out of Apple's ultra-managed experience and take more control over their device harm your ability to continue to enjoy those benefits? I heard an argument like this a lot at the start of discussio

Mushy rice is best rice. Plus if you can hydrate while you eat, it's more efficient!

Are you measuring volume or weight? That doesn't sound like anywhere near enough water to me. I do roughly 1 cup of jasmine rice to 1.5 cups of water in my instant pot, comes out perfect every time.

If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.

I feel like you missed some qualification here: > I still believe that suicide should never be the option From the rest of your comment, it sounds like you were facing some form of severe but ultimately temporary problem. People consider

Is that an argument against voluntary euthanasia though? My parents have both told me they would sooner die than go to a nursing home. Knowing them, I believe both that they mean it and that they would be utterly miserable in a nursing home

Absolutely, couldn't agree more. Mostly with this bit though: > "Management" ... are ... doing a shit job One strategy I like to use when I encounter a manager doing a shit job is to complain about my six figure salary eve

What, in your view, is the difference between organised workers and a trade union? Trade unions are groups of workers organised around the common cause of improving worker pay and rights. You said the organised workers part isn't a bad

I can't tell if you're joking. If you're seriously asking, how about that unions have consistently and successfully fought for better treatment and pay for workers all around the world. Many of the standards we expect today o

I suspect this will be the final straw for many users, myself included.

Would that actually make sense? Maybe I don't want to know. I'm still grappling with my last bout of "holy moly is the universe a simulation?" after reading about a way of dealing with latency in networked games that loo

Nothing is "inherently or automatically bad". Good and bad are matters of opinion, not fact. In my opinion, all ads are bad, and the world would be a better place if advertising were strictly limited to publishing product details

This is exactly what the gp comment was saying though, isn't it? Apple doesn't care about their users, except insofar as keeping users happy can make Apple money. In cases where keeping users happy can't make Apple money, the

That's quite subjective. To someone with no money to spend, Mathematica isnt really an alternative to Mathics.

For sure, AussieBroadband are (sample size of one) fantastic. I particularly like that they've exposed some of the NBN troubleshooting tools to customers. They also skipped over that "we'll provision more CVC capacity when we

It's a shame Internode went the way it did after iiNet/TPG took over. Old Node was one of those rare companies where I actually believed they put their customers and employees before their bottom line. It's just TPG with diff

It's above-and-beyond of you to follow up at all in that situation, IMHO. Taking "I need X next Wednesday" at face value to mean "as long as I have X by 5pm Wednesday I'm happy" is completely reasonable.

Fair warning: everything I know about orbital mechanics is from Kerbal Space Program. The moon cannot orbit at a higher speed while keeping the same semi-major axis (average distance to the orbital centre of mass). If you suddenly doubled t

You are, of course, welcome to make whatever judgement you like about my preferences. "Abnormal psychology" seems a bit extreme though.

I don't like knowing that my image is recorded by surveillance cameras when I go out in public. A few decades ago someone might have said, "Well, you can choose to just not go to those places which have surveillance cameras,"

Asking from a place of ignorance, not argument: Is opting out of physical location tracking expensive? I just checked on my Pixel and was able to find a setting which ostensibly can disable location services after a few seconds of searching

What's the difference? If I were to renovate in a style which doesn't appeal to me, but has broader market appeal, it's still for me. The only difference is that I value the long term potential future income more than I val

I wrote "countries", not "continents". I also have not claimed that the US is the most violent country. By the metric you've presented as a yard stick for violence (Peace Index), there are only 33 countries which

I understand the objection to the general "why write X when I can see X" point. Obviously not everyone who can read some text can also watch a video. In this specific case though, is conveying the color of the sweater to people wh

My interpretation was that "the rest of the world" is meant to refer to "the rest of the countries in the world" not "the rest of the people in the world". To say that the US has a worse peace index than the re
