'Less direct' voting is not voting. You might elect representatives and hope for the best but you cannot vote on single issues.

Your impression is wrong. The vote you are referring to was on shareholders' rights, i.e., shareholders will get more influence on the compensation of the executives of 'their' companies. The vote on the 1:12 initiative will

The initiative mentions the 'whole population', the text is not limited to adults with Swiss citizenship only. In today's Swiss welfare state, all people living in Switzerland already have full access to what actually already

The text of the Swiss initiative can be found at http://www.admin.ch/ch/d/pore/vi/vis423t.html . Please note that it does not mention 2'500 Swiss francs as a basic income. Rough translation into Engl

Melatonin does NOT work as a remedy for jet lag. I don't find open access links to the relevant studies right now but http://www.nojetlag.com/melatonin.html might give you a first idea.

How do you define 'freshness' with regard to Melatonin? How relevant is the date printed on Melatonin bottles?

by chmars 13y ago
It's very unlikely that you will become dependent on Melatonin, it's simply not addictive. It isn't a sleeping pill either, it mainly supports an existing sleep disposition. If you don't want to sleep, you won't sle

AFAIK there is still no way for a messaging app on iOS to reliably run 24/7. As a result, most messaging apps use their own server for new message notifications. If the app is not running, you get a notification and you can open the ap

Is CMD + \ an easily reachable shortcut on American keyboards? On my Non-American keyboard, CMD + \ equals CMD + Alt + Shift + / … I have never used the setting so far. The current setting in 1Password on the Mac I am using right now i

Are you happy with the browser support? In my browsers, 1Password 4 still works less reliably than 1Password 3. Manual completion (I don't use auto competition) sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. In the former case, the user c

There's an interesting part in the linked article, including a reference to HN: He found that iMessage Chat for Android essentially inserted itself into the middle of the normal back-and-forth between a user and Apple's iMessage

For me, not having to deal with a vendor (or even its credit card company) is a major advantage of using a credit card instead – for example – paying by invoice. I have just checked my credit card issuer's process for such cases, it se

Getting iOS 7 ready for the announced date was obviously death march. I am therefore optimistic that many of the small bugs and annoyances will get smoothed out over time … :)

Rating a song has become less convenient too: In song view, you have to switch to album (list) view and the rating for the currently playing song is shown in the album (list) view if you tap on 'Rating' in the upper left corner. F

Dispute the charge with their credit card company. Who is their credit card company? I have not had a credit card complaint for years but I would probably ask my credit card issuer for a refund, in particular because I have an agreement w

Thanks, I had not thought of doing that. I have just cancelled my order and re-purchased the new model, the delivery is scheduled only one day later than the original order. On the downside, the price went slightly up … Apple might have del

Thanks, good to know! (I actually checked on the local Apple website if you are correct since my home country is not known for being consumer friendly. In this case, however, it is Apple being consumer friendly …)

I ordered an iMac three days ago, it has not been shipped. Is there any change that I will get an updated model? (No, I do of course not demand an updated model for me, I am happy if I get what I ordered and paid.)

What is the resolution of the fingerprint image stored in biometric passport, i.e., the kind of passport you need to enter the US? Biometric passports store an actual fingerprint image and not just a hash like the iPhone 5S. So if the resol
