Hmm. If lawyer isn't a protected title in my home country, I wonder if it's possible for anyone to take a template and refer to themselves as a lawyer with an email to legal. I suspect they'd see through it, but it might conv

Also on a human level, Spotify is not some abstract system - it is a company run by real people that feel the real effects of vaccine misinformation, and would probably rather it not cause any more harm if they can avoid it.

I think the biggest flaw is that the Big Mac you are served in Switzerland is not really the same Big Mac you are served in the US. It's a cute form of comparison but indeed should not be used as a policy tool.

Moving from Western Europe to the US is such a QOL decrease that even for 500k, people are only going to do it if they are desperate.

There's definitely diminishing returns the higher we go with refresh rates. 60hz to 240hz for example is like playing a completely different game. But going from 240hz to 360hz, even in CSGO it's a lot harder to notice a differenc

Sweden has a roughly 50/50 split of Android/iOS marketshare. If you have a group of 50 people where 49 are using iOS, it stands to reason that there is probably another group of 50 friends and family where 49 are using Android.

Sure, but that's expected because ARM essentially has hardware JavaScript acceleration built-in via FJCVTZS[0]. I personally don't find JavaScript specific benchmarks to be a good indicator of general computing power. (Ultimately,

The 9600k is an entry level CPU from 3 years ago. Personally I don't think it is surprising that it gets matched by a premium modern CPU. I do think there's something wrong with your desktop however, because in raw benchmarks the

> In fact, making it harder to cheat in games can make it more lucrative to develop cheats for them. Sure, but I don't see how that's a bad thing. More lucrative means higher prices means fewer cheaters can afford it.

So... proportional representation? I think without PR you don't really have a full democracy. Things might be "democratic" in spirit, but it's never a fair and transparent democracy without PR.

Isn't the M1 Max pulling like 30-40W tops? I don't understand why that would ever be expected to create a noticeable temperature change. I doubt any laptop CPU would create a noticeable difference.

You're not wrong. I clicked through on one guy and he's posted all caps angry rants about this trial 2 to 3 times per minute for the last hour. It's getting harder to tell the difference unhinged lunatics and paid bots.

Anecdotally, it feels like I must restart WindowServer in OSX more often I've had to restart explorer/dwm in Windows. But neither are particularly reliable, in my experience.
