Although on second thought... I guess it depends on what's your commenting on and the stance of those you're interacting with. So it can be a double edged sword.

Isn't this feature valuable? as I see it it would allow new comers to build trust in a community first. Would you, as a new neighbour, walk into the local bar and start objecting or disagreeing with the locals?

No. Think of it like a cinema projection vs TV screen. In a cinema a projector sends light onto a screen that bounces off and towards your eyes, this is a reflected light. If you were to watch a TV of the same size it would be emitting ligh

I would feel the same. I'm not ophthalmologist but I do wear glasses for myopia. My concern would be emitted light, distance and emitted heat... Screens are emitted light. Having a screen strapped to your head emitting light into your

Contrarian you say.... Brexit is about introducing friction so that Tory party donors etc can have the opportunity to create companies that aim to 'make things and more frictionless' and then profit.

I was about to say they have a powerful imagination to see camels in that eroded rock... however after a quick search, there are better photos online: https://www.haaretz.com/archaeology/MAGAZINE-2-000-year-old-...

By "good" I mean probably trying to pump the NFT's his son has made and therefore generate more bitcoin from them in the long run.

Seconded. Most 100k+ jobs in London ( that I'm aware of ) are contracting ones. Houses ( for anywhere so-so ) are 400k at minimum, or else your aiming for a rabbit hutch. Taxes of every shape and size will eat a tonne of your income. R

I was wondering... why does a hotel, on an island, need a carpark? I checked it on Google and it looks like the house was near the pier so it makes sense that residents might park their cars there to head to the mainland. Google Earth link:

My understanding is that some of the issues stem from external recruitment agencies. The agencies are pitching against eachother. They state they have a gender skew higher (6:4 Male to Female) than the market data (9:1 Male to Female) to wi

There are only so many ways to skin a cat and have something that a consumer wants to buy... On the netflix thing. I feel like the digital platforms are watering down choice and contributing to that feeling. Rental stores always had a broad

I wonder if this will be an increasingly common occurrence in decades to come. If you live in a high rise will the cost of maintenance become too much of a burden? Will be be cheaper and safer to just tear a building down? What happens if

Building on this, I sit at a south facing window that gets good lighting for most of the day. I use a large circular photography light diffuser that can stay firm in the window frame using the tension of the diffuser. That plus slightly gra

To create an NFT you need to pay a 'gas' fee. To me the large figures paid for some pixels is an incentive to get people to create NFTs and therefore pay 'gas' fees to whoever mines those numbers. If I owned a mining far

I remember several year ago when people kept the tags on their clothes when they wore them, it was almost a statement that 'this' is authentic. I could absolutely see how this could bleed over into the digital world where you have

I think it comes down to emitted light vs reflected light. If you're looking into an LCD panel and the light it's emitting is not adjusted to match the environment you're in, too bright or too dull, then you will strain your

What if they got a small % of the resale, with a blockchain as a verified record of sales? - Games and consoles made years ago still generating revenue. - It would incentivise companies to support repair and continued use of old products. I

I have very little knowledge of this, but as a product would it not be much cheaper to have something like a wii bar fixed to the top and bottom of a screen, with a small camera at the extremities of each bar (one for each of the four corne

I agree but I'm also a bit conflicted. A video games first purpose is to be a commercial product, where as art is something created for the sake of expression.

The main reason I had to get a new phone was because of apps not scaling correctly. And website visible areas being severely reduced due to ads and cookie notices etc...
