My lazy kids are terrible status symbols but they are excellently suited for their actual purposes which are to laugh at my dad jokes and keep me honest about snacking. Seriously though I don't know anyone who has kids as status symbol

Even if they aren't spying on people's TOR traffic, it's still useful for spies. The more people are using TOR, the easier it is for them to hide their own traffic alongside it.

People from many countries can enter Hong Kong without a visa. It draws tourists and helps with many export businesses. For this reason people in Hong Kong have not passed the stricter scrutiny applied to people who visit the mainland, so t

Because if you buy five of that item, you pay €4.95. Few people go into a store and buy one €0.99 item. And if you pay with your debit card then it's still €0.99.

In many eurozone countries totals are rounded to the nearest 5 cents at the register if you pay cash. If you pay electronically then the exact amount is debited. There are some weirdos who decide how to pay based on whether or not the round

From our limited sampling, it happens with some measurable frequency. Going from zero to one of something tends to be a lot less likely than going from one to two or more.

I really do not think that applies to all-you-can-eat buffet rules about leaving plates full of uneaten food.

by nerdbert 3y ago
If the buffet restaurant hadn't bought it for someone to leave it on their plate, then the ingredient cost would have been lower and a poorer person would have been more likely to be able to afford it. Or someone in the supply chain co

There were, and probably still are, restaurants where you pay for the meat item and then get access to the unlimited "salad" bar which includes a wide range of other stuff.

The article doesn't say the buffet is a place to get rid of old food items, it says that buffets have worked out strategies to get incorporate their own old food items. Anyway, if you don't want to pay for wasting things you don&#

Is it smart business though? Once disclosed it provides future purchasers with a strong reason to avoid your products. Who wants to spend millions on trainsets that could become unserviceable in the event that the seller goes out of busines

Translation is the only reason I still break out Chrome now and then. Firefox finally sort of has it, but it's not that good. Often it won't believe you that the page is in another language, so you can't translate at all, eve

Cool. Then you can use Firefox which will support Mv3 extensions without castrating ad blocking.

by nerdbert 3y ago
Never heard of those and I doubt 99% of the population have either. Not being compatible with those sites is definitely not the barrier to widespread adoption of Firefox.

You may personally think that, but traffic safety data is unambiguous. The higher the front end and the heavier the vehicle, the more likely pedestrians are to die.

by nerdbert 3y ago
Sure but that's not an argument for letting the person who is putting others at risk, decide how much safety they want to pay for.

I'm not sure exactly what the scope of that is, but I was hit (lightly) by a Tesla in a crosswalk earlier this year.

by nerdbert 3y ago
They could have a minimum interval between changes, while still allowing it to change quickly if enough time has elapsed since the previous "walk" signal.

I always hit all crosswalk buttons, even if I'm not crossing, because it's nonsense that pedestrians have to ask permission to cross the street while the lights always change for drivers. The world will be fair when drivers have t
