> The fact that a 80% remain parliment is supposed to represent a 52% leave population is ridiculous. Come on now. 544/650 MP ran for a party that had Leave as a Manifesto promise in the 2017 GE. Yes individual MP could disagree wit

Brexit is not a threat to democracy in the absolute sense. It is a threat to democracy because, after 3 years, we now know that it is a power wrestling within the ruling class, for the exclusive benefit of the ruling class. All the good rea

That's actually a good point and well said ... 3 years ago. However, today you cannot make that argument with a straight face when Boris is a PM with a very weak democratic mandate, actively undermining the democratically elected Parli

The average game on Steam sells 32000 copies. It takes some seriously poluting developer to offset the picnic of thousands of people. Also (pedantic but you started it), the society we currently live in is based around work. So if games wer

With our current or even predicted technology (i.e. no FTL), we basically would have solved the "living in space indefinitively" problem first. So even a Venus like planet would be an very interesting target, flush with easily ext

The same can be said about plastic, waste, recycling, water quality, air quality, ... The general public is rarely the biggest cause, and even the best intentioned personal initiative like becoming vegan can fail to have any positive impact

It seems that we have reached a tipping point on climate. The movement has grown suddenly strong this year, so if it wasn't clear before the writing is on the wall for all to see. That said, I have read comment from the various motor s

Mac OS support by default to map the Caps Lock key as an Escape key. Back in the "old" days, nobody would have voluntarily admitted they used the regular Escape key implying their hand movement is anything less than optimal. Hell,

Is it because it is a story about Apple that we need to forget everything about how pricing works ? According to your theory, Ergotron should charge me different prices depending on the price of monitor I'll put on it. Or a restaurant

I'm saying we should look at it from the people in that market perspective and the value it brings them or not. The fact that Apple is not including by default is significant. They expect the vast majority of their customer to no need

That's the other way around really. The WWDC was quite good, software wise (as it should). All you hear about is outrage about the stand of a pro-monitor outside the budget range of even the most enthousiast consumer. That's how y

by gutnor 7y ago
So much noise about the stand. This is the stand of a $5000 monitor, not just any stand. Any random piece of plastic on a Porsche is more expensive than on a Ford. That shouldn't be the case in a perfect world, but we don't live i

I agree that the generalisation probably does not work. However, considering a lot of people like fiction in most their other forms, except books, we have to be careful not to overcompensate in the other direction. From the 99% person you k

I think the argument is that animal fat is harder to maintain and more expensive than super-cheap "never" spoiling industrial fat ? BTW isn't beef fat used to make Belgian fries ? I agree with you though, traditional fries ma

There is a parallel with Apple. When owning the first iPhone, you knew you were holding the future and there was no coming back. The competition was a joke for years, but eventually things normalised. Going Android is not at all the same fe

Well, that explains the extravagant claims from 2 days ago. No point speculating about major breakthrough or major bs or LIDAR vs NO-LIDAR. They are probably progressing ok, but they are running out of cash, so they made a little show for

In the UK the bank can put the property through normal private sales, using agents. In Spain the bank have kept real estate for decades following the last market crash rather than selling it at discound price. So that's a YMMV per coun
