Regardless of EV/ICE, the amount of pollution from tires is directly influenced by how much traction is being utilized. Excessive acceleration, deceleration, hard cornering, weight, etc. all lead to excessive tire wear and EVs tend to

Morally, I agree 100%. But legally, detection is banned in some jurisdictions (Virginia, Washington DC, most of Canada, etc.) so it's ambiguous to say "we have a right" without at least defining which population and which def

I suspect it's that they hate are easily distracted (if "hate" falls outside of the series, such that it applies beyond just "cats")!

If I'm being honest, "don't click links in email unless you were expecting that particular email message" seems easier for grandma than "update x, y, and z, and use Pihole" unless you want to administer her net

Couldn't agree more. But even as a bass head myself (living room flat to about 27 Hz) I find myself occasionally somewhere with a portable speaker, like when traveling... Someone puts it on a table and starts playing it, and is blown a

With low frequencies, directionality is negligible, so it's not about turning it "toward" the wall, but about placing it against the wall. I suppose it's possible that the sound radiates more from one side than the other

Ah! I've got it now. Lotsofpulp didn't literally commit the atrocity of shooting down a metaphor/analogue presented to them (despite your characterizing their reply as having run into that exact issue, which I'll final

I wrote about what I literally see, not about what I assume: I see a top-level comment which itself contains no metaphors and which itself is not an argument but a recounting. Therefore, it's a non sequitur to consider any reply as exe

I don't see which part of your original comment actually contains metaphors, which would seem to be a prerequisite for such an offense. Frankly, I don't even see which part of your original comment is an argument in the first plac

Seems analogous to "get off the pot" although glossing over the alternative is less common for this one.

I'm not sure that the definition of "bug" is so narrow as to exclude unfortunate physics, given that it began as literal bugs before becoming metaphorical bugs. Erroneous human influences on software seems slightly farther fr

The sticker/paint could change all of the white into a skin tone, the way many hearing aids are. Maybe similar to wrapping a car with vinyl, or nail polish.

That's an interesting point! For simplicity, let's divide into 3 segments: poor, middle, rich. Poor can only pay with coupons, rich can't be bothered/seen and only pay full price, middle can pay in full but some of them

The friction of playing the game is how price discrimination has always worked, whether clipping coupons or fiddling with apps. You either spend time to pay less (and perhaps brag about it to make smalltalk just like this, which is like vol

If I administer a survey, collect responses, and put them into a spreadsheet, is the data in that spreadsheet not mine despite the fact that it consists of things that other people told me? I can't share it without the permission of th

Oh for sure, speaking to a cashier is the quickest/best, and scrolling on a screen (kiosk or app) is slower/worst. I'm just pointing out that if the store will reduce conversations with cashiers by shifting ordering to a scre

It basically comes down to using linear brightness (at sufficiently high contrast between steps) instead of random brightness. TFA could get away with almost any colors at all, even red to green, as long as it goes from light to dark. The p

This is the real answer. Price discrimination used to involve physical coupons, but now the coupons are in the app. Since apps are easier to obtain (and have in your pocket at all times) than physical coupons, the price discrepancy (between

For customers to feel like they're saving time (versus having a cashier take their order) the kiosk isn't it: you can't on average discover and select on a screen faster than you can speak. The time savings of the app/we

I used to do this, but lately I just set my phone to use dns.adguard-dns.com as the DNS resolver which gives extremely similar results. It's a Russian operator, but I don't have much of a reason to trust any other DNS operator mor

Do you ever make a purchase due to having seen an ad, ideally by clicking on the ad? If not, then in some sense you're still getting something without paying for it. (You're paying with your time, but that's not valuable to a

If the closest tower is on the fringe of connectivity, and you've got an app that's acknowledging push notifications constantly or similar, then wouldn't it make sense that it has to scream constantly? Keep in mind that not e

Ah, ok. It sounded like one or the other (i.e., people who inflate their refund aren't planning well) but personally I find that adding withholding at an amount that often leads to an inflated refund is a good low-effort way of minimiz

Yeah, I was thinking that despite the fact that the ultra wealthy use TFA's loophole, people who don't (i.e. net worth < $300M as the author explains) have a situation where: A - In a universe with cost basis step-up on death,
