The same way some people on cars don't give a shit about rules. Because people are selfish. The question is, how much are these people outliers? How much of it is you remembering and inflating the few bad situations, and forgetting the

Why do people wear 'cycling clothing'? Because, unless you have a short commute, having padded shorts makes riding more comfortable. If someone is riding slowly, but still riding for a reasonably long time, having padding is a sig

The point is that in order to remember the order that the dates should be put in, you need to remember google's 'reference' layout .. Jan 2 15:04:05 2006 MST ... in other words: 1) Month, 2) Day of Month, 3) Hour, 4) Minute,

..the point of the grandparent post is that if we emphasise _liability_, it's less likely we'll get any information. This is a common understanding in industries dealing with safety. If you want to _punish_, focus on blame. If you

One thing every person has missed so far is that often the TDF riders are on rather narrow bikes with very little clearance. This helps give an aerodynamic profile. Even at a few watts, this is considered worth it. You would likely have to

If you're going OVER imperfections (i.e. high pressure tyres), you lose some energy going 'up'. If you go THROUGH imperfections (lower pressure) you don't lose so much energy going 'up' as the tyre absorbs rath

Narrow tyres tubeless is a no-go as the high-psi required to get the tyre seated and shaped can cause blowouts, especially if you get impact such as a pothole. Going for wider tyres means you naturally can go lower PSI, but if you drop PSI

To be fair, one suggested etymology I've seen for for 'mongo' is a simplification of 'humongous'. Whether you believe this claim or not, it's entirely down to whether you want to take a charitable or negative g

The UK did not go through with the porn block. You can perfectly well set up an account without any NSFW filtering, and as far as I can remember, it wasn't even 'opt out'. I'm with Virgin--oh the irony--and have never h

Calling it 'censorship' seems a bit inflated...you can request UK ISPs to remove the content filter. Further, the UK government retracted the internet 'porn' bill, which was a big driver of the act anyway. I think it&#x2

Perhaps because of opportunity cost. Compared to how dependant on Google they are currently, maintaining a comparatively low-revenue service whose existance must be justified to a board, may be worse than doing the 'startup' thing

Firefox gets 500M/year from Google (whether they _need_ that much is a different question). You'd need basically the entire current Firefox userbase to pay some amount monthly, or have a smaller subset donate massive amounts, to e

Mozilla's deal with Google is worth 500M per year. For Firefox to be independant of Google, you'd need around 4M people subscribing to Firefox, with your $10/mo suggestion. Now, whether Firefox NEEDS 500M per year is a differ
