If Microsoft doesn’t like it, they could prevent OEM from doing it through licensing. They don’t. It’s been like that for decades.

American citizens are not "forced". American citizens vote for politicians that want private healthcare. If you want your own national drug care program, that gives the government an incentive to negotiate large purchases with pha

Yeah.. lots of people keep repeating "but its expensive out of amazon!" and they never tried. Sure, you can find cheaper products on Amazon, but once you start looking around, it's definitely not always the case. But people a

I fail to see how driverless cars make any of that better. Congestion might even get worse as people might be willing to wait longer if that means they can be “productive” doing something else in the car.

Labor is cheaper in Asia so I'm not sure why the transition would happen faster there. Lots of jobs exists there for the sole purpose that the price of a robot/automation is way higher than paying someone to do it.

If that's all there is, it's easy to have a backup and bring back the balance into everyone's account. This is a poor comparaison. This Starbuck money cannot be "stolen".

Ontario has the carbon tax setup. 90% is revenue neutral. You get a standard amount on your tax return every year, if you happened to pollute little (not spending much on gaz) then you're net positive. If you're average, you get b

The point is to address why city is SO expensive while suburbs are so cheap. Even thought suburbs require a new set of infrastructure to be built in the middle of nowhere and where density of housing is rarely enough in the long term for th

That's fine for you. We aren't talking of YOU, this is about societal changes so that the only choice encouraged by planners and tax policy is to own a home in a suburb. There should be a way to have more density in cities that do

It was an internal database (from Capital One credit cards), they weren't allowed to use that data for analysis. This wasn't publicly accessible information. See article: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti

Formerly very catholic Quebec still has one of those crazy laws. During certain hours (such as, past 8PM on weekends), groceries are only allowed 4 employees. Which is almost impossible in those very large groceries. For many groceries, the

Same thing happened with me and MBNA, they just never sent me physical bill OR an email for a transaction I had no idea occurred (because I had canceled the card!) and then put a mark on my credit report because I had a debt that was not re

Thank you for sharing your anecdote. However, the opposite happened. Likely that you are in the age where a lot of people get pregnant so this looked like a baby boom. In reality, birth went down in the western world. A study in Canada: ht

It's not about moderating all language, it's about SELLING ADS in all languages. If they make money from those ads, then they should have people hired to review those ads. If they can't find the people, then just don't s

Every time I see a project opposed in my neighborhood or within my city, this is my the local homeowner/neighborhood association. Not by a group of renters. There's also an endless amount of public consultation for every building

That’s when you know the technical conversation in this thread will go nowhere. That’s the solution? Aircraft carriers? Really? Some tech people do have a strong sense of entitlement about how easy some problems are to solve.

Barring work? So basically you do the same but hide under the cover it’s your work? The same work you chose and where you could decide to quit if it was really against your principles? You do have a say. You have the ability to walk away. I

Sure, but you can have an argument about how taxes are distributed, that's what democracy is about. The ROI on investing on education is arguably better than the ROI of spending it on a stadium. And more people need to understand that

Many cities in canada and US have laws that force you to cut your lawn. It is pure insanity but America has a weird fixation with lawn. Good article / podcast on it https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/lawn-order

flux had an iOS app, but it was always side-loading through Xcode (or for jailbroken) but never on the actual iOS App Store. They need to use private APIs so it was never authorized in the first place.

Beside the fact that they lied to Congress about.. I guess there is an expectation. If you put your products on Amazon marketplace, you are expected to join a marketplace. You don't necessarily expect for Amazon to also join the market

Yes but the vaccinated would have no one to make sick around them if there isn’t anyone unvaccinated around them. Doesn’t matter as much if we all have the virus, as long as it doesn’t develop as a sickness.

Did you read the article? The issue is cost of labor being too cheap and not being compensated for waiting time which leads to huge turnover rate. How’s reducing fuel duties helping the workers?

I mean… Trump was lying about how many electoral votes he got. It was easily verifiable. Also such a stupid lie because he did have enough electoral votes to win the election anyway. But still! He fabricated that number. He was also truly i
