Ask the user what? “Do you want your phone to crash because your battery is old - yes or no?” The issue here was not that the battery life was shorter. It was that the batteries could not deliver enough current to run the processor at full

Give me a break. This guy is a reporter, so his public persona is an integral part of his job. And not "every aspect", only aspects in which he's performing in public.

You are already accepting a risk of death for airline profitability. These tradeoffs are made all the time.

This is also a trivially true statement and meaningless for real-world decision-making. In a large enough dataset and given enough time, a meteor will eventually hit a plane in-flight and destroy it. Should regulation require the airplanes

What's not clear from the article is how likely this failure mode actually is to occur, even if the pilots happen to forget to disable the anti-ice. The fact that this issue is present in the existing 737 Max variants, and none appear

The post presents a simplistic point of view - that there are universally-agreed-upon solutions to these problems that, through a failure of organizational or coordination capacity, we're unable to enact. The actual reality - that thes

If you're worried about climate change you should be all for this. Suicide is the most carbon-negative thing you can do! Well, other than mass murder, I suppose.

I have a similar pet peeve in software, what I refer to as ‘Don’t Suck’ Buttons. A ‘Don’t Suck’ Button is a setting, turned off by default and usually hidden in a corner of the UI or configuration file, which fixes a common issue that new u

You don’t have to use any of these services! There is plenty of stuff to do for entertainment that is not TV. Sometimes people act on here as if mass-market TV and movies are, like, a basic human right or something. And presume they’re enti

This is nonsense. In war, is it hypocritical to bomb the enemy but not your own side? Of course not. Propaganda is a weapon, you deploy weapons against your enemies and you protect your own people from your enemy's weapons. Foreign adv

Lego is basically irrelevant when it comes to fossil fuel consumption or environmental plastic pollution. I’m glad they decided not to make their product worse for no point. I wish “environmentalists” would keep their focus on things that w
