It’s not so crazy if you follow Delaware history. Let’s say you live in Baltimore but also own a house in a small resort town. In Delaware, that town can decide to let you vote in Baltimore and at your vacation home. Legally they do this b

Because they don’t want people to sell laptops and phones with an uneaten apple on them. It’s pretty simple. The article is written to be ragebait, and judging by the comments here, it’s been successful.

I flagged this ridiculous article and title. Apple is applying for a trademark. That’s it. Apple is not forcing anyone to do anything. I doubt Apple knows or cares about the old fruit company.

Good point, but keep in mind the DoD by default does not disclose its capabilities.

Regulation often has the opposite effect by raising barriers to entry and reducing competition.

Block more mergers. It’s easier than breaking companies up afterwards.

If you think that’s bad, wait until you hear how they measure broadcast and cable television viewership.

Filaments are slow to respond to alternating current. So they do wobble in brightness a bit, but they do not blink like an LED does, which fluctuates between 100% off and on.

I worry we’ll find the high speed strobe almost all LEDs emit are harmful for humans or animals. We’re told they strobe too fast for us to perceive (sometimes true, sometimes not). But unperceptible doesn’t mean it’s not harmful. A lot of

i.reddit.com was different than old.reddit.com - it was designed for easy use on mobile. It was recently killed, just like old.reddit.com will be.

I’m fine with plastic where paper can’t be used so long as we recycle it or return it to the ground where it came from. Glass seems great - until you learn that sand extraction might be the only thing worse in terms of habitat destruction t

I'm prepared for this to be an unpopular opinion, but I'm glad my neighbors don't do this. I know my neighbors well enough. We check each other's mail when they're away and will help out in other ways. But I have l

Or a team. I joined a rugby team that is open to everyone but highlights lgbt inclusivity in sport. We practice twice a week, have games, and have other events. I've made so many good friends from the team it's hard to keep up w

> Dutch don't seize farms because of global warming This isn't true. A major goal of nitrogen cutting programs (started by the UN Environment Program) is to reduce climate change. You can read about it here: https:/&#x2

If you're starting buildings on fire, that's probably a riot.

by nostromo 3y ago
Monitoring an active riot seems pretty much what I’d expect the FBI to do. It doesn’t seem that there was any intimidation of peaceful protesters, which obviously would be concerning.

There is no monopoly on tax preparation in the US. It’s a highly competitive market. Dozens of companies sell online products to file, and thousands of individual providers are available too.

Messenger does a ton of things. It does video calls, voice calls, text messages... you can send money, send gifs, send videos... you can even view Instagram Stories for some fucking reason.

It's odd how the complaints are never about actual mansions. No, it's only when the middle-class gets bigger houses do we have journalists handwringing endlessly about gauche they are.

Use HomeKit, it’s great. If you want to use non-HomeKit items, you can use a RaspberryPi and run HomeBridge. Or you can just stick to HomeKit items (which are unfortunately more expensive and limited in selection). I see you’re mostly unsa

For the record, I'm not a fan of Reddit. But there is something to be said about having the censor cabal out in the open for everyone to see. Compare that with Facebook or Twitter or Instagram, where there is no record of who is deter

I think Washington’s banning of nondisclosure and nondisparagement agreements is going to hurt victims more than anyone. It’s one’s primary bargaining chip when suing a former employer that has wronged an employee. Taking that away means m

There is more than one way to tame inflation than jacking up interest rates so quickly. A less discussed way is to raise taxes and cut deficit government spending. Unlike interest rates, the effect is immediate, and can be undone quickly to

Firefox competed against fairly successfully against Microsoft for a decade. They still spin off massive amounts of cash -- they just piss it away on their foundation, and not improving the product.

Good. Prisons shouldn't be designed to torture people. Losing a decade of your life is not a small deal, even in a low-security prison. And the reason you get sent to minimum security prison is because you're not seen as a fligh

I dislike how bloodthirsty people are for her to serve over a decade of hard time. Lots of people serve less time than this in the US for literal murder. Remember, she was convicted only of wire-fraud against her investors - the same invest
