There's a one-lane bridge near where I live that would pose a similar challenge. Drivers coming from the east always have right-of-way, but the only way to know this is by reading the bespoke traffic sign posted next to the bridge. To

Google has the same incentive to consider users. If your eyeballs go away they have no recourse for tomorrow. This is no doubt why they give their services away. If they thought they could achieve similar market share while also charging

OP is probably using something like a retroencabulator where rather than the power being generated by the relative motion of conductors and fluxes, it’s produced by the modial interaction of magneto-reluctance and capacitive diractance. The

On the other hand, I've received items from Amazon before that were clearly previously opened and returned, sometimes with missing pieces, once the item was clearly defective. Due to this subpar experience I no longer order anything fr

Plain text is the most readable because it can be stylized by each user's user agent to be comfortable for them . This was one of the killer features of the WWW which has increasingly been cast to the wayside (I guess because users

The comment you're responding to is suggesting a space elevator on the moon, so you only need enough energy to escape the moon's gravity.

I gave my 5 year old a pc running linux when she learned to read. She became interested in the command line when she saw me using it to help her find a file she had misplaced. I gave her a list of simple commands and let her explore. By the

Monopoly is an extremely crude model of the real world. To strain the analogy further, why are you always transferring wins to player A? A better model is to just let both players keep whatever they have at the end of each game and use it t

I was able to use adb to enter my pin and unlock my first or second generation pixel device when I replaced the broken screen on it with a knockoff that wouldn't register touch support. No idea if this still works.

Why does the number of generations that can free ride matter? If Warren Buffett can make 100 billion dollars in a single generation then he can skew society today. How would it be any different if he'd inherited it from his parents? Or

If I'm using AWS I definitely care about the stock price since if it goes to zero I'm gonna have to find a new cloud. Also I have to buy shares to run my program, apparently.

I don't get it, everyone can be born. Are you saying that it's the possibility of iteration that makes it fair? So if the raffle enforced one ticket per person it is no longer fair?

If you're trying to "give" rehab to someone who does not want it you may in fact be "taking away". That said, there are other ways to help those with addiction beyond giving them heroin.

Wow, I've lived in the U.S. my entire life and I couldn't tell you who won any superbowl if my life depended on it. I have seen several of the infamous "superbowl ads" though, those seem truly inescapable.
