People have been drinking hard water for a long time. Seeing as the whole population of a place like Copenhagen hasn't keeled over or shown any particular health issues in general I'm going to come down on the side of it's fi

I've never seen an option to choose the liability cover on insurance, I didn't know it was a thing. I just checked my policy and it is up to $20 million NZ ($12M US) per event. How much do you pay for car insurance in the US? Mine

66% in the US. I don't think anyone was suggesting it was a hard requirement. The idea was if you're unsure about having a kid try raising a puppy first. I don't necessarily agree but it probably would train you.

What if you want to buy the best ship? Not necessarily the cheapest, but the safest/biggest/most efficient? But you're forced by this law to only buy from one or two companies - they have little reason to compete on those ele

I believe the idea is not that companies were being funded by loans. It's that investors couldn't get a return on savings, so all the money they would normally have in saving like deposits was invested elsewhere, into the VCs for

I've got 3 kids. They're a bit older now, but I felt that each additional one was a lot less work than the first. The third copied the behaviours of the older ones and became independent that much faster.

Why would headphones need to integrate seamlessly with one set of computing devices but not another? This sounds like a market failure rather than a nice thing - anyone should be able to make headphones that seamlessly integrate with all pl

While I do not necessarily disagree with the author, I really dislike the term magic. It's not magic, it's added abstraction layers. Usually you can peel those back and look underneath. We've been adding abstraction layers si

My kettle is a boiler wired under the sink. But a normal 2400w kettle in countries with 240v outlets plugs into the wall. It's not really the kind of appliance you want battery operated either. My toothbrush is already USB charged. I t

I think I can answer your question. We don't use our logical thinking capacity for much decision making. Most of these decisions are forced on us by external factors, often social/experience. For example, shoplifting - I would nev

I agree with your sentiment but it's easy to answer some of your questions. Torrenting is something you can do from home, you can't be easily caught and even being caught doesn't mean much as an individual. If you're cau

Well for my example what I want to support is me to begin with, which means Brave, which just so happens to use the same engine as Chrome. Which is helpful because most folks use Chrome. I might not like that, but that is the way of things.

10/2*15 = $75 And presumably you only have to replace them if you replace your phone? It's not like the change came in and you had to rush down the shops straight away for new cables.

I've been working on a small side project and I can totally sympathise with this. Chrome has 2 features right now, and has had them for more than a year, that Firefox hasn't yet implemented. One of those is the new navigation API.
