The thing is that "improvements in engineering, materials, process, or design" should make it cheaper, not more expensive. That's how it works in other industries. Although I don't think it's fair to put all the bla

Is there a way to tell CTRL-w to break words at / as well as space? I often use it to remove a parameter from a command I've copy-pasted or got from the history, but for the cd use case it removes too much. Edit: ESC followed by b

It's possible that they are developing a static analysis tool that is designed to find places where vulnerabilities can be inserted without looking suspicious. That's kind of scary. Have they submitted patches to any projects othe

New buildings do have to have sprinkler systems - it's the older ones that are the problem. You can add cladding to a 1970s building without having to update it to the latest fire safety rules. Also it is illegal to put extremely flamm

In the UK, it's not just low interest rates, it's also that the rules on renting have made it more attractive for landlords and less attractive for tenants. For example, you used to need a good reason to evict someone, now you can

For one thing, http://haveibeenpwned.com is Australian, so not subject to US law. It might be illegal to access it in the US, but it's not illegal for it to exist.

You can fix this with import duties. If the country you are importing from doesn't have good labor laws, you charge them 100% extra.

So it looks like OpenReach can build FTTP connections, turn off the ADSL and FTTC connections and charge as much as they like. They aren't allowed to differentiate based on geography, so they'll just charge everyone what it costs

The clock time that schools start and end at doesn't have to be fixed for the whole year. The clock time could stay at GMT, and schools could open earlier, maybe also slightly longer for some parts of the year. Businesses could follow

You should campaign for schools to start earlier, not for change to how we measure time. You could even campaign that in the part of the year known as "Daylight savings time" schools could open earlier still (there's nothing

Moving around what we call the hours of the day is a really stupid way to change habits. Why not do this for other unit's of measurement? People travel at 70mph on highways, have accidents and die. Lets make 1 mile only 1200m instead o

I disagree, I think bribery would be cheap and legal. The value of the 40 year future payoff would be tiny compared to the value of getting what you want now. You might be able to reduce this issue by issuing 1000 LPFs, giving politicians o
