Yea this is also a big problem I have. I can't stand having to reorganize my windows when I go back and forth from desk with monitor to laptop. I want the window manager to remember where I had the window and move it back when I plug i

There is no reason for that to be baked into the browser. That can absolutely be a cross-browser/platform layer that won't need to worry about dying as a walled garden with no visitors.

Ah yes, the computers of my youth at K-8 primary school. I spent many a computer period playing such fine games as Mathville and Offshore Fishing. Damn you, shark!

Sure but its fine for individual parts to fail if the manufacturer will repair/replace that part. Spares of easily user-replaceable parts can even be included with the product, like spare fuses often were. It's not necessary to ac

Financial profitability is not a requirement for infrastructure projects. If it is the best way to supply power in the most sustainable way, it should be subsidized by governments to make it happen. If you want to pretend it balances on pa

Yes, we have not correctly priced (taxed) empty property yet. If municipal government would charge say 100% value as property tax when mostly empty (as a starting point, say it is the primary residence of nobody for 180 days in the last 360

Great, now just do the same thing for making all hospitals in the state (and later the nation) forced to bill at "in network" rates. then with a final step of capping the premiums paid according to income with the rest automatical

Temporarily, perhaps. The risk is that without planning that oversupply leads to a period of greater shortage due to cancelled production, bankruptcy etc. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullwhip_effect

Well maybe it should? Perhaps we should prevent airlines from overselling and forcing people off? You've sold the seat. Thats a dine deal. You can negotiate to buy it back sure but I can decline any or all offers. It's not unreaso

It would be really helpful to see an animated model of the wing stroke. It's rather difficult to visualize for someone (like me) unfamiliar with the language of this specialty.

The solution here is to repeal DMCA 1201 or add a condition that actual infringement of copyright is necessary for it to apply. All these bullshit schemes depend on it and absolutely are anticompetitive monopoly behaviour we should not allo

Yup, turned out that inventory isn't pure capital waste after all. It's an insurance policy, an investment in stability. Bring back inventory.

Yea this doesn't really work when the resource is also necessary to live and in parallel has massive externalities not being properly accounted for. This is some praise the market reductive lunacy. Obviously energy production, pricing

It can't print. It doesn't support printing. If I need to print (to paper or PDF) something like an order receipt for an insurance claim or a shipping label to return something, I need to use another browser. I still use it, but t

Yes but I think the suggestion is that the taxes ought to (eventually) exceed the gains from asset value growth. We should want active main streets, and discourage squatters with empty space.

Unfortunately many have also opened the doors to so-called third party marketplace sellers. It's making the experience of looking for items online worse. Some label this poorly, some offer no easy way to filter to only items sold by th

Oh absolutely. It's that smasher skill to edge out an advantage when the only real limit is input speed. Made those later "press X repeatedly to survive!" quick time type things super easy. Man I miss gaming.

Maybe we should take the best of both worlds then: an extension that only knows which domains you have passwords saved for, but not the account or PW. It just serves as a red flag if the domain is suspect.

I tend to agree that ML will not itself be the subject, but rather a device or tool misused by Someone Bad. As you say, it's a necessary and integral piece of the story, but not the star. For example, it brings to mind some combination

I've found some success in replacing that with similar routines, for example walking the dog before and after work. It's a pseudo-commute that allows similar mental preparation/release. This worked well pre-covid. Since covid

Exactly, the new stuff is too cheap compared to the recycling option only because we don't properly account for the long term costs of the new goods. I'd like to see the cost of waste and re-use placed entirely on producers. If yo

Buying food is necessary to stay alive. Kids attending school in person is not. If there were a real plan in place to ensure safety, and if adults were willing to sacrifice in other areas like going out to bars then school could work if we

Traffic accidents don't follow a pattern of exponential propagation, nor do most other "everyday risks of life". A new virus is certainly exceptional circumstances warranting exceptional response.

Similar story in Toronto area. People are supposedly out shopping, but not so much buying. Family friend had a home listed for almost 100 days and finally pulled it after dropping around 15% off the ask.

Same reason, more room to cram ads you have to scroll past to see the actual recipe.

Honestly, that feels like a huge waste of your own time to game a broken system. And I'm guessing it is, but that it's a defensive move because the darker timeline is miserable. Sucks it has to be this way so often.

There is a lot of legal precedent for this distinction that depends on your jurisdiction, but largely boils down to how much control the worker has over the work. Uber and the like claim the workers choose when to work, how much, whether to
