I see it more from the point of view of it giving extra attention to stuff you didn't learn the first go. For example some language learning apps already do this, they will show you phrases you have learnt before and if you get them wr

Dare accepted. You know that is a false analogy. If you want X you need to get X. It would be more like a mechanic being required to buy his tools from Porsche to be able to work on a Porsche. And it's good you bring this up, this too

No it's not. You can buy a PC from many different vendors, HP, Lenevo, Dell etc. They compete and the price goes down, and customers get a choice. You can also run linux for free and use VSCode for free which also runs on Linux. With A

Some markets it might be illegal, like in the EU. Netflix isn't comparable as you can choose any other content streaming services. And also you can use any ISP to access to Netflix.

What they need to do is split off the new competing services into a walled corporation (even new entity). And they play fair by the rules, so 30% tax even to them.

Some games still do give you the full game, and even for free but still have microtransactions to support. With them using the microtransactions for only cosmetic stuff and not to change the game itself. That's a model that's appe

That's not the only thing about mass surveillance by corporate entities. Say an investment firm gets a hold of people's shopping habits and see they aren't shopping at BigBox store as much, so they can short that investment.

How do you take notes on your commute? I find when I'm driving I can't take notes, any voice note taking app is too cumbersome. I assume your commuting let's you use your hands though.

At our supermarkets the restricted stuff tends to be stuff like alcohol, cigarettes and scratch cards (and other stuff but that's what I remember). Otherwise people would abuse the discount/coupons/points bonus.

It's not about idempotency, but about side effects. The standards mention if it will cause side effects use POST. Logging out does cause side effect (you lose your login) and hence should be a POST. In the old days it might have been a

I would argue it's us developers that let the managers do this. They ask us how long we give a number. They say that's too long can you do better. Instead of being insulted, we hum and we haw and we say sure. So the managers learn

You can get spray like bandages now. Which feels like a combination of glue and some sterilization stuff added in. Stings a little bit and then dries out and sticks like glue.

Agreed with most you say although I'd say no one really wants May's deal. The only real options left are remain or no deal and so should be put to the people. Question to the people: Is this really what you want?

It makes no sense to put it anywhere. Because you can't put a new border between Northern Ireland and Ireland. Just because it does more trade with England doesn't mean anything, that's because England is bigger. What's

Have a read of books by Nina Teicholz or Gary Taubes. In there is a mountain of data showing the correlation of diets to adopting the national dietary recommendation (which vilified fats). They all make a great case that fat is good for you

Isn't McD worse then? It's encouraging people to eat/drink more sugar and carbs then one should just for a chance to win. Making them more unhealthly. There is also no limit, people can (and do) buy it and chuck it away. Or e
