If you start thinking deeply enough about any competitive sport then the whole idea is bonkers, so it doesn't really need any justification in my mind. Anything that requires skill and is competitive could be in the Olympics. I can&#x2

If I remember the early reporting correctly, this submarine had plastic deformation on every dive. So it was already failing, they just didn't do anything about it.

Yeah I think it's a US thing. It's surprising how vehement people are in the comments when you suggest they could drink without a straw. I was thinking back, I just went on a 2 week vacation in NZ and was eating out a lot. I order

As with any question like this, you have to ask, are religious people happier or do happier people choose religion? A person who is unhappy might be so because they are questioning why things are the way they are. They are not happy to beli

email me using the address in my profile and I'll send you the code. It's not pretty. I needed to vendor tauri too in order to change the visibility of one function.

I'm using it for https://mixitone.com originally it was going to be just a web app, but making it work offline was quite compelling. Being able to access NFC card readers with rust code was the clincher. I wouldn't say

That'd make a great movie. Race against time to stop the Russian terrorists blowing up the substations, having to figure out what ones they're going for. I'd like it to come down to the last second, and then they actually man

Yes! It's not just a cultural explanation, it's the idea that the medical situation of being able to choose is the driver, cultural change is the follower. So it can affect different cultures, even partially cut off ones.

500sqm is huge! My house feels large with an office, 4 bedrooms, 2 living areas and a big kitchen, for a family of 5, and it's 260sqm. What do you do with the space? Do you have a cleaner? With a robot vac and a battery vacuum ours is

I have a different pet theory. I think people, women in particular, don't want to have kids as much as was believed by any kind of biological drive. People want sex of course. So once the choice is there to not have kids, a lot more pe

It doesn't work because then couples with no kids get paid enough for 2 families, invest in housing, raise the prices for everyone else, then maybe have their own kids a decade later than the norm, forcing everyone else to be 2 worker

It might. In the short term anyway. And that's ok because consumers are not the Apple customer being egregiously harmed. It's the developers, who are also Apple customers, who are being restricted from a market. Apple makes a comp

Ok. I paid more than that. What you're saying is I want x y and z, and also to be this cheap. But they're obviously catering for a niche market so you have to compromise and can't then just comment with "why can't t

The early Sony Android phones were available in stores. I remember the first smartphone I got was a Sony, and, compared to a friend's Samsung, it was really lovely, great screen, better feeling build quality. Maybe they never competed

Not sure why you've been downvoted. This seems like as good as any explanation. All the economic hypotheses are weak given historical data, and rely on "just rich enough". Several things happened in a reasonably short period
