I'm really surprised this ruling happened in the UK. The UK has cameras everywhere and seems to be rather accepting of Big Brother surveillance.

How exactly do you ban someone from quitting their job? Like, if they don't want to do it anymore, how do you prevent them from just not showing up, or showing up and sitting around and refusing to do anything work related? Also, isn&

If you're a government, you have an incentive to cook the books and make sure the official numbers lowball the inflation people actually experience. That way, you can dismiss and gaslight people when they try to tell you that real wage

Doesn't any event in which people die reduce life expectancy? How is this not a simple tautology?

I was expecting things like "woman was hit by a car" to be replaced by "A car hit a woman" (prefer active voice). Instead it refers to pedestrians as Vulnerable Road Users. It says the information that "alcohol was

If you know where an island's going to spawn, can you camp that spot in a boat, plant a flag on the island before anyone else, and create your own country?

I can't remember the last time I went to a Livejournal site. Maybe sometime around 2003?

Nah, as soon as inflation makes it profitable to melt coins, they make melting coins illegal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penny_(United_States_coin)#Num...

The article says this was "according to a report from researchers in the U.S., the U.K. and Australia." I wish it included a link.

I've personally been vaccinated against COVID-19. But I'm philosophically uncomfortable with the government being able to require me or my family to submit to an injection or any form of medical treatment. Creating a bunch of seco

I always thought chips were dominated by fixed capital costs of fabs. If they were dominated by variable material cost of wafers, as the article seems to imply, it wouldn't make sense that we see 90nm microcontrollers that sell for $1

How meaningful is location for brain analysis? You can reliably predict which physical DRAM cells are used to store your lives in the original Super Mario Bros on NES hardware (and you can manipulate that value if you have a Game Genie). Bu

I was expecting a Persona 5 strategy guide. The title's pretty misleading.

Okay, so you need a $20 billion factory to put out 256-core behemoths that power servers with terabytes of RAM. But if you're GM, you don't need the latest Xeon. You need a 100 MHz single-core microcontroller, that normally sells

I never realized evolution was this controversial. I always thought it was only rejected by the most extreme ~5% or so of fundamentalist Christians. Seeing that it's half the population is rather astounding.

Shouldn't climate change have both negative and positive effects? For example, people don't want to live in the Rust Belt because the winters are too cold. Could the region's economic viability increase if winters get milder

China has a court system? I always thought Chinese law enforcement is basically, "Do something the government doesn't like and you will disappear. Try to run away overseas, and we'll make you an offer you can't refuse:

what's so special about California that it's always on fire? Why don't we have this kind of issue in say Maine, Michigan or North Carolina which all have lots of forest?

If I want to use my PC as a space heater and I'm willing to pay for the electricity consumption, why should the government stop me from doing it?

I've been reading for years now articles saying that Tether isn't properly backed like they claim. If that's both true and widely known, who's buying the Tether? The supply's increased from $4 billion-ish to $60 bi

Is MAID implemented in hardware or software? Is there an easy way to give an app a distinct MAID every time it restarts? It seems like maybe you'd have to root your phone to do that?

I never got far enough in chemistry to really figure out if it has explanatory or predictive power. If you ask a CS grad "What will happen if you run this program?" they should be able to predict it. If they've gone through
