This is currently becoming a smaller and smaller problem with charging infra growing fast. I guess it will become an issue again when "car" becomes synonymous with "EV" and there's a sudden spike in EV registration,

By that argument "dickhead" is just a britishism meaning "unreasonable person" and just as appropriate.

It's hard not to react sarcastically to this. But I will try: There's nothing special about EU regulations vis-a-vis other laws. China, Russia and the US also have laws, many of which are also perceived as overly bureaucratic.

The problem is: you never get to have your goals or arguments listened to when you fail to represent yourself as a basic human. That means not putting weird stuff in your mouth on camera, not looking too unkempt, not being too belligerent b

People who just ignore big banners will just tell you that "they have been hacked", as if getting hacked is like a weather phenomenon. They won't even connect them getting hacked with the big red banner. If they even notice,

Stallman actively hurts the cause with his behaviour. I'm not only talking about his eccentricities, but also the adversarial and combative language. Yes, Amazon is trying to swindle us, but few people will be convinced of that when yo

"Displaying an angry warning message" is one of the tools we've used for decades, and never with much success.

Wow, that looks to be very well-lit. The bad lighting was the only really spooky thing about the station.

"The Bell Curve" is, let's say, highly controversial and not a good introduction into the topic. Its claim that genetics are the main predictor of IQ, which was very weakly supported at the time, has been completely and unden

Isn't a bit premature to jump to "it's BS" just because one random commenter on some forum says it's wrong? Journalists make lots of mistake, and it's good to keep that in mind, but random people in forums are

Also; most sex work as it happens is exploitative, but there is no reason why sex work must necessarily be exploitative. Criminalising sex work makes it far more likely that sex work is exploitative. So there is really no contradiction at a

Flood myths are much more common than that. But the easy reason is that floods are extremely common, and flood plains are among the best places to build a city.

Is 80% even that high? I thought the idea behind VC was to fund companies where 90% are doomed to fail, 9% might do okay, in order to cash in big on the 1% that have stellar success. Am I way off with my numbers there?

What's your point besides whining about the general state of "delevopers", whoever that is? Are you volunteering to take over maintenance of GNU Screen? Really, the gall to complain about "laziness" when all you&#x2

The distance completely changes the dynamic. If I tell you there's a crazy axe murderer in your house, you should be afraid. If I tell you there's a crazy axe murderer on Venus, how afraid are you? And unless we are completely wro

The only reason why we can't out sentient protons folded out of 28 microdimensions into our 3 macrodimensions is the same reason we can't rule out that our universe is actually the works of a giant hand puppet player called Zquaar

Yes, but the next bush is dozens of light years away. The analogy breaks down because the distances are different in quality. The only reason why this becomes such a problem in the Three-Body-Problem is the existence of magic in that univer

The dark forest theory makes for a great book premise, but it probably doesn't apply in real life simply because the distances are so far. The universe is not a forest. It's a gigantic, empty ocean. The next, dangerous tribe is no

I don't think I disagree on any of this, but is there any actionable advice in this post? I don't think I really understand what point the author tries to make. Maybe it's advocating against overly clever but inscrutable code

Software is mediocre today? You should have seen it back in the day. It was a brittle, arcane mess. Software isn't as exciting any more, but that excitement isn't gone because newbs don't have to look up what -O stands for an

It's always a good idea to ask for a lawyer (and to demand that the embassy of your home country gets informed). However, the consequences of not talking can vary wildly. In some countries, police might torture you. Some countries migh

I want to to be charitable, but still: the idea that media company invest as much money as they possibly can into creating media, and thus anti-piracy measures would have any impact at all on the amount or quality of art created is just rid

It's both funny and tragic that people like the owner of that place go through life constantly meeting people who are unprofessional, ungrateful, mean zombies who miss the best deal of their life due to their bad behaviour. Stepping
