It amazes me that any major organisation believes pitching themselves at a minority group of deniers of the commonly-held views of everyone else - that most people therefore find abrasive and alienating - makes good business sense.

Hard disagree. Some people are hyper-sensitive due to extreme trauma, which can trigger into all kinds of things that can't be fathomed by the unaffected. It's also something particular to this site. The crossover of visually-sen

Warning: if you're sensitive seeing injured animals. Link has an image of taxidermy of one. (Though I suppose all taxidermy is injured animals one way or another...)

And your RSI, and even apnea insomnia, unbelievable as it may seem. But, given posture affects circulation and that can affect everything, maybe that makes reasonable sense, and could involve say, brain circulation and oxygenation.

That's rather silly advice, as depending on the person it may be self-contradictory and, so, impossible to actually follow. "Whatever feels comfortable" can be "staying in one great position and not changing it as everyt

Now that makes a lot of sense. Though, makes me wonder - what about when constructing domes?

One of the suggestions was as a mounting point for metal or wooden poles. This suggested, to me at least use as a joint for scaffolding. The holes of differing sizes accommodating pole diameters suited to each purpose for a given scaffold.

There've been some few recently in the public backlash to the "woke" movement. It's been so effective particularly regarding financials a rallying meme emerged: "Go woke, go broke!" Little of this reaches ma

This is great but presentation has lots of repeated text, and is hard to get a full picture. Probably work better if it was a comparison table, with ticks and crosses all in one column.

Agree with everything except "nearly everybody understands". In my experience most people have absolutely no clue, to the point a large chunk of society, if you asked them who writes the content, will answer "wikipedia does!&

But if our brains came up with the black box, can that really be true?

That's an interesting insight. Indeed, the proponents of what may be modern-day equivalents, seem also to have superstition or religious-like beliefs when it comes to these topics. Also can be as hard to reason with.

Depends how we define "system" maybe? If we include all human activity as part of one system then maybe the complexity does approach it. Conversely should we include all the sub-quantum in our assessment of the human body? Where t

While I generally agree, there's something more immediate. All of us having this view can refuse to ever buy or even use HP products, and explain to anyone and everyone at every opportunity exactly why this is. Boycotts can be immensel

It's not "favoured". Crypto use is a tiny subset of all financial activity criminal included. "Ignorant" is not intended as an insult, it's merely accurate. You appear not to know some things and I've trie

Why do you end each sentence with exclamations? Your past comments suggest you do this often. It's hard to read, as the reader wonders if it's a joke or sarcasm they haven't figured out, detracting from simply reading your co

What are you talking about? I've addressed your comment twice now. First in a way I assumed you knew enough about crypto to understand, and second explaining that in more detail. I've "accused" you of ignorance, not insi

Well, transactions settle with finality in seconds or minutes and cost pennies. Success rate is much higher, and failure is funds never left your account. So whatever it's held together with, which generally seems to be cryptography, m

Well if you'd read what I've said, you'll know that's not really my style. Unfortunately, I assumed you knew a slight more about the topic you're discussing than you evidently do. My reply's intended to suggest

Money is used for crime. Crypto is money. Checks are money. Bank transfers are money. Cash is money. It's all money, and it all "facilitates" crime.

What nonsense. Crypto payments are more heavily-regulated via KYC than traditional payments. Anyone who's signed up for any crypto exchange attest to this fact. Crypto payments, as with all payments, over any mediums serve all purposes

Somewhat related: I know there is caniuse.com - so is there a way to pick a baseline, like a date or a selection of browser versions, and using those as a minimum, list all the features that will work? Essentially, a customised HTML/CS

So then, leaving it off the headline, and including something like your comment as a hefty qualifier when mentioning it in the article would be a way to present that aspect more honestly and without sensationalising it?
