Cars, at least American cars are so large because people want them that way. Yes there are some safety laws that require at some size and weight increases. But not much. My 2019 car isn't significantly larger or heavier than my 1992. I

How many fatalities are caused by cars traveling in excess of 90 mph? I don't know the number. I am sure it is greater than zero, but I would guess it isn't much larger than that (percentage wise) I'm not sure why you picked

Induction should be intuitive. I think there are a few things that get lost. One is you need to show the steps are equivalent. You have to show going from n-1 to n is similar to going from n to n+1. My favorite analogy is coming stairs. Y

KYC in the financial realm is awful, and possibly unconstitutional (I don't know if it has even been challenged) and really it works be fine away with But to extend that to customers of any online service is unconscionable.

So... yeah a patent restricts what others can produce. But parents are supposed to be for things that are novel, which means if it's unlikely for someone else to produce it to begin with. Parents are supposed to help encourage people t

While you can scribble, you can easily highlight and comment on books. Going back and forth is maybe slightly harder than a book, but it isn't "so difficult." I'm not saying reading on a Kindle is better than a paper boo

Personally I feel like a ban like this is anti free speech. Even if it is run by as foreign institution. I think it is fine for the government or companies to ban it for their employees. Otherwise it is just wrong.

I guess it depends on your definition of lobbyist. But why shouldn't they be allowed? And why would any democratic country disallow it? Disallowing lobbyists doesn't seem very democratic to me.

If you want to go someplace fun, just book a ticket to someplace fun. I actually got in the wrong plane once. But I was already heading someplace fun, and I'm glad I didn't end up going somewhere I didn't want to go. I was i

Didn't read the paywalled article, but I thought one of the benefits to glaciers was reflecting sunlight and this reducing warming?

How are the farmers lowering the housing stock? Are they destroying housing? Are they preventing others from building? You claim they can't force their land to be agriculture, but you apparently can force it to be residential?

Right. Because Gmail was the first free service on the free Internet.

Because it is fun. It is challenging, and interesting. And nostalgic.

I think there are two issues here. First of all, the freedom of speech issue has generally broadened to include all of government. Generally government can't ask a company to restrict speech, Even outside of a law But there is more to

What flights go back in time? I guess if you take off near the edge of one timezone and land near the edge of another. But so what? Why is that an issue? Most times I'm dealing with things local, I didn't really care what time it

"Democracy dies if the voters can actually give power..." I don't think democracy means what you think it means. Democracy dies if you take power away from the voters, which is what you seen to be suggesting.

Define "many". I'm sure it isn't enough to make a dent in the number of people who do cardio.

When I was in highschool back on the early 80s I got a job paid internship. One of the programmers told me the average turnover in the industry was 3 years. I believe today the average turnover is 3 years. I don't think much has change

Won't you have to replace the battery on the Tesla soon? My understand is a Tesla battery is good for 10-20 years and a Prius catalytic converter for 10+ Both cars share a lot of the same maintenance, like tires and brakes. And you&#x

I think it is a huge difference. It didn't know what you wanted. It knew what most people want. For a lot of generic things what you want is probably what most people want. Shoot, most times we ask ourselves what other people do in thi

I'm not sure what converting tabs to spaces had to do with Python. I convert tabs to spaces and python runs just fine. Yes there enforcing of whitespace is one thing I don't like. Django is not Python. Django is a nice framework,

"Dynamic pricing is a relatively new concept in the fast-food world, with little precedent" Yes, because they're are lots of options. You charge too much and I'll just go next door.

We also do it to help find criminals. And if the only reason we do it is to stop people from legally moving money around, then we need to stop it. Will criminals and terrorists benefit? Sure, but they can also benefit from other legal thing

I assume you are being sarcastic. But what you are suggesting is exactly what we need. Why did it be a problem for people to move money around willy nilly? Why do we need controls? We do it mainly to help find criminals, but there are other

But it doesn't. At one point in time McDonald's was the only cuisine of Coca-Cola the had permission to use more water. So yes it tastes different, but I wouldn't say it tastes better.
