If ruling out risks by a priori is a solution, why wear a helmet at all? Maybe you won't hit your head when you fall. Maybe you'll land in water or on a satin pillow (low friction).

> Hair will do the same thing. VA Tech (and others, IIRC) has years of empirical tests that show otherwise. What is your comment based on? Edit: In fact, if I understand your analysis, humans won't get concussions at all.

Last I knew, several years ago, Virginia Tech tested for concussion prevention and the layer that 'slips' on impact was called the MIPS layer. (Please correct me if that's changed.) That is important and useful, and is best u

That sounds so familiar. I swear I once read the same comment about renewable energy generation. :)

We're really splitting hairs, for no purpose other than to avoid the point. You'd better start standing up for freedom instead of toying with oppressors. Nobody will do it for you.

That's not an argument: You don't specify which values, don't address my argument, and just repeat an old trope of dictators and their apologists with no support. > Plenty of societies happily trade away one or more of tho

Make an argument, beyond one city (if it's true there - Singapore might be better off, on some of the best real estate in the world, with free elections)? All the most free, wealthy, safe, creative, innovative societies in the world ar

Do you have evidence? There is evidence that RealPage software illegally coordinated (maybe coordinates) landlords in keeping units off the market in order to reduce demand and increase prices for everyone. https://www.nytimes.co

Sure, but the comment upthread could provide evidence that "it is still common enough that it has become a real problem".

What confuses them is the point of the puzzle, to learn that problems can be solved by expanding your perspective and challenging your assumptions. Instead they attack it for being outside their perspective and assumptions. So I dislike the

GOS won't install? It's blocked somehow? Or it's not officially supported?

Greatly improved privacy and security and end-user control of your phone and its data. In those areas, possibly the best option, though iPhones might be better in security (not necessarily the other two areas) - Apple has a slightly bigger

There's an (un)folding Pixel that runs GOS. Not exactly a tablet, but possibly sufficient depending on your needs. Not cheap, however.

A relatively simple generic device, mounted on a car's interior ceiling, seems possible: It would project light 'dots' below onto everything the user looks at. Using the car's momentum, the dot movement could be mechanic

A good point, imho. In response to US's changes, the 'middle powers' (e.g., Canada, Japan, etc.) are working to promote the rules-based international order, including trade. But I agree risk is higher than before. > Becomi

The plant will keep running regardless of events on the other side of Eurasia - during a war South Korea would want the revenue, especially from a locale safe from attack. If SK lost - an awful outcome - it wouldn't be sudden.
