> Removing incest games is not a burden to society It is to those who enjoy playing them. Are you suggesting that playing a game involving incest is somehow unacceptable, while a game with graphic murder is fine? It's a strange mor

Unless there is actual real-word harm to someone (which is hard to imagine happening from a video game), no, I don't agree with you. What your kids are exposed to is your responsibility. Don't burden the rest of society because y

Why not? I regularly buy products and services online with crypto and it works quite well, usually a better experience than with a credit card. There are plenty of chains that can confirm transactions in a couple seconds, and if you'r

Then the focus should be on reforming the police and courts, not on pivoting to vigilante justice.

How are there not real use cases for crypto already? Surely more business is being done with crypto today than was done using the internet in the 80's. I've been paid my salary in crypto for the last 8 years. The company I work f

My understanding is that the current governments of both Cambodia and Thailand are losing support because of economic and other problems and are using this conflict to distract from their domestic issues and shore up support.

I can never understand how anyone with an interest in tech hasn't switched to Linux for their personal desktop/laptop at some point in the last 20+ years. Why would you want to use a closed source OS controlled by a corporation wi

Trains are the easiest form of transportation for full automation. There shouldn't need to be any required staff on board.

Doesn't just about every passenger train have more than 2 carriages? I'd guess the average is closer to 10.

Please tell me this is sarcasm. That is exactly the kind of terrible idea that Mozilla would come up with and force on users.

They don't need alternative revenue streams. Just take the millions they receive from Google and spend it on tech. Cut out all the warm and fuzzy political marketing bullshit and all the management that have promoted it.

Just use LibreWolf on desktop and IronFox on Android. They basically strip out all the anti-privacy, anti-user "features" from Firefox.

Uber doesn't even operate in most Asian countries. They made deals with Grab 7-8 years ago to not compete in the same markets. In which country is Uber more expensive?

Okay then you need to accept some combination of higher average prices and sold out peak travel times.

Dynamic pricing based on availability is much more efficient, which is a good thing.

The epicenter was in the center of Myanmar, far from the ocean, so shouldn't be any risk of tsunamis. But starting to see some pictures. The fatalities are going to be a lot higher than being reported now.

Bangkok has many tall buildings, so it was probably felt a lot more strongly here than other places closer to the epicenter. I was on the 32nd floor and saw and heard large cracks forming in the walls.. definitely a scary experience. The
