The Israeli queue. Like a regular queue, but if something new that comes in sees its friend in the queue already, it can jump the queue and go and stand next to her. Useful for when something has a big overhead on top of its own processing,

The need for a legislative cap is just as much an indication that (to quote the article) "the market is not working well", as the rise itself in the absence of the cap. Why not work to fix the market instead? Or nationalise it, si

I don't have an answer but this is a great question, and I thank you for asking it in this way.

The funniest thing is that they tried to "provide welcome relief from the awkwardness of File Manager"... which Microsoft open-sourced a few years ago for those who still want it with win10/11[1], to much acclaim from its man

It's two different things. Yes, it totally is a question about moral responsibility. But it's still not called "killing" by any reasonable definition of the word. It'd be fine if it said "death count" or e

This is exacerbated by the summary at the end, giving you your "kill count". For cases where you did nothing, you did not kill anyone. The trolley did.

Yes, that sounds about right. At the time I was there, Altria's entire business model was basically "let's lobby for the regulators to ban everyone but us." It also seemed like they also didn't really want e-cigs to

Zero-sum because the authorities made it zero-sum is still zero-sum. You can't start a company that says "let's increase the supply of housing because demand is high." You can do that with most other markets. What I th

I'm generally in favour of letting free markets sort themselves out, but housing isn't a normal market. In a normal market, when demand goes up supply usually follows. If a lot of people are buying Widget A, pushing the price up

For people who only own the house they live in - they are not likely to sell it, so its value going down is of less concern. Yes, perhaps they can borrow a bit less against it but again, not such a major concern. They are presumably thinkin

It was recently reported that Jerome Powell, the Fed chair, wanted to rein in wage growth. Encouraging part-time work is surely the best way to achieve that. Many people will be happy to accept shorter hours in place of a raise, which will

There's something really refreshing about reading about a good old-fashioned business that makes money by making things people want and getting paid for it.

Their reasons, or my reasons for thanking them? I think their reason was that watching TV is a brainless activity, and they preferred me to use my brain. They were fine with me, say, teaching myself BASIC. It wasn't an aversion to tech

When I was a kid (in the 80s-90s), my parents severely limited my television viewing, to the point that I more or less only watched on weekends, and even then not much. They said "You'll thank us later". And you know what? I

Generally not great, but there are advantages to using something different to everyone else. For example, a lot of paywalled sites can be bypassed using Firefox's reader mode, and it's not worth the sites' effort to try and b
