I don't think moderation has anything to do with it and it's not the core of the argument in the article. They've taken a huge valuation and investors will want a return on that. The problem is that there's just not that

Yes but there are more nurses than doctors (2.5:1 oecd average, and it's probably higher in hospitals). The doctors are also working long hours and are under pressure. I've been in hospital more times than I'd like too. I rem

They aren't banning viewing videos, they're banning kids having an account I believe. I'm sure their approach to enforcement will be something along the lines of relying on the websites to sort it out and fining them if they

I'm 42 and I drink 1 diet ginger beer every day. I don't have a problem with sugar (eating chocolate as I write this), I just didn't want the extra calories. I'm in good health otherwise, slightly overweight but 4-6 hour

I've got a Samsung dryer and when it had a fault with the door sensor they got it fixed pretty quickly. I had better service from them than Bosch or Miele - I replaced a Bosch dryer when I was totally fed up of trying to organise Bosch

The smell, worry about it being left on. I've got kids, they like to cook, I'm sure they'd be capable of dealing with a gas cooktop (we've got a bunsen burner for science stuff) but it's just nice not having that. W

It's not much better. It's slightly better at specific things and worse at most things. I've had plenty of gas hobs. I think I'd prefer normal electric over them just for being easier to clean and not having to deal or w

Well I read the article and, having known nothing about the subject at all, found it somewhat informative. Having a few words of silly sprinkled throughout for amusement was fine. I don't read The Register often, it seems to concentrat

I notice that some of the teens my kids are friends with are pretty weird in ways that would have invited extreme bullying when I was their age and they don't seem to have the same troubles. However, I still hear about some bullying ca

That's not entirely true. The rich have been buying multiple houses in London, as well as buying rows of housing and joining them internally. Plus if the market is for the wealthy then the prices are controlled by that. You can argue t

I find Rust quite ergonomic in most cases. Yes there is more code, but in terms of thinking about it, it's usually "I have this and I want that", and the middle almost fills itself out.

Yes, and London is a case point for it: the affordability of housing. Anyway, I don't even need to trawl for links, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_economic_inequali... has plenty.

I barely use my Apple account, I wish I didn't need it at all but you have to have it to get xcode installed. I don't understand why account management is so janky on macs. It pretty randomly asks to verify the account, it's

But as I noted, there is nothing stopping you keeping that option. It is perfectly fine for you to pay for the option if you want to keep paying for it, even without using it. That is perfectly efficient. The inefficiency is when you want t

That wouldn't be the standard capitalist response. After all, you still have the option to spend your money in stupid ways, the ease of cancelling is not related to that. A more standard capitalist response is that this is a market ine

Scientists aren't responsible for coming up with a plan. Not individually anyway. I think others have expressed that in this thread you've started. An actual plan would be hugely multifaceted and would require a government or larg

Any plan should have been made between government and industry. The scientists aren't there to plan, they look at the data and try to figure out how the world works. Scientists told us long ago there might be a climate problem, and hav

Although you could argue that all money is our money, if "our" means our society and government and collectively all of us. It exists by social agreement, as do all the rules around it that mean some have more and some have less.

Not much. It'll point out when a plant has been taking up less water, and that corresponds to what I notice about the plant health. I've got 9 months of data, maybe after a year it'll be more interesting and give me some seas

There's no such thing as de-evolution unless you consider evolution has some purposeful direction in the first place. The tomatoes are evolving into the niche that works. Just because there was a plant in the past that occupied that ni

I agree. I enjoy off the wall and humorous writing usually. This article is pretty bad. Somehow it made me want to like the subject they were trying to eviscerate. I wouldn't want to be too harsh though; at least they did write somethi
