Should it be allowed / legal to 'tag' people that are not part of a service? I might agree that 'celebrities' and leaders of larger organizations are 'public figures' and thus if there's a reasonable

Less 'keep it secret' and more 'don't make a big public deal out of private memories'.

In small doses, in the correct circumstances, Boredom can be the Necessity that drives new ideas. Put another way, think of it as an opportunity for more conscious reflection and exploration. Like sleep, but not just 'run the garbage

I usually can't. Too much traffic. The rare times I have to drive between metro areas to visit family do offer such circumstances though.

I can't even begin to imagine the hell that telepathic like electronic message services provide children in these environments. It was bad enough when there was at least the possibility of moderation by adults.

We agree. Including to not respect things someone (indirectly) paid for through taxation. Part of the me-ism issue I called out in the larger post.

I suspect the only real benefit is a change in behavior of some passengers. They _paid_ for a thing and therefore feel more respectful towards it. Which would be related to the other symptomatic reasons such a barrier might be sought. As

Many of these also have small solar panels. Enough to recharge the device and sometimes build up a charge for other devices like a tablet or cell phone. It wouldn't be enough to continuously run that greedy screen, but it would be en

Maybe they're using a Desktop Environment that poorly expresses support for it? I have limited a sample size, but xrandr on the command line and GUI tools in KDE Plasma and (not as recently) LXQt (it might have been lxde) work just fi

Cable news networks - which had to fill whole days with news, sort of started that trend. It wasn't always quite that bad, it used to be the same stuff repeated for people in venues like lounges at airports or restaurants that wanted t

Yes, those jobs are never returning. Manufacturing will increasingly be automated, or the world will crash in some highly unfortunate way that we'd all be (un?)lucky to survive. Production of critical parts within allied or the same n

Less red tape, easier to manage 'processes', fewer environmental / labor relations... It's those last two, impact on the commons and unfair worker treatment, that are examples of where I _would_ support reasonable tariff

You'd mentioned a _timeline_ of manufacturing. I'm pointing out that usually investment has a lag time and giving some examples of lag times I've seen mentioned in publications before to parallel my supposition... That real

What they need to do is have 'major edits' push out an updated static render physical file like old school processes would. Then either host those somewhere as is, or also in a compressed format. (E.G. compressed weekly snapshot

It's shifted so far right that looking at news headlines gives me anxiety that we're in a bad enough time / timeline that modern events will be chapters in future history books; assuming we still have books (in any form).

Under oath, with only offhand recollection of maybe facts, many people would prefer to say as little as possible. That seems only natural given the potential for accidentally lying if something remembered offhand turns out to be untrue or

In the US the 'press' / media is supposed to be a quasi 4th branch of government (society by the people, for the people). Such organizations are important for the voting public to remain informed and thus elect with an inform

Manufacturing lead times are huge. E.G. Offhand CPUs take something like 5-7 years from initial plans to final tapeouts / production. That's not even considering the issues of planning, permits, installing machines, training work

Again, slippery slope. As use of this tool expands to _any_ driving related offense. As it applies only to those who must themselves drive. The dangers? I think I covered that just fine with the end of my previous post. People who aren&#

Slippery slope. It'd be assigned in way more cases because they can, because the _perceived_ impact is lower to someone else. Because it can be handled like yet another tax on offenders, including the poor. Because the companies sel

At least in WA State there's not-reckless speeding, which is something like 1-14 mph over the posted limit (I argue it should be more like a _percent_ E.G. going 40 mph in a 25 is WAY worse than going 75 on a 60 mph freeway). Then ther

A clear outlier case. Policy should not be made based on the 1 in 1000000 case that's going to be tragic no matter what's put in place.

Do you expect it to be commonplace that someone who starts living in a college dorm will still be there in 10 years? I hope they'd graduate by then, and failing that it seems likely they'd run out of debt to continue funding educ

Dorms are a poor example. Everyone there expects it to be a temporary community other than larger structures like fraternal organizations that slowly nibble in new members and continuously digest them as things progress. It's not li
