I agree, but I am thinking about scenarios where businesses get sued for consumer safety. This happens, right? Someone is harmed and they assert it's because the manufacturer of the thing didn't take adequate care to prevent a sit

Let me be clear: I think it would be ridiculous to do that. But a lot of what I read about that's "our lawyers said to do this" comes off as ridiculous to me. And some court decisions I read about, and the reasoning, seem rid

This feels like they don't want to be liable if someone roots a phone, installs malware or something, sells it to another person, and then proceeds to exploit the compromised phone they just sold. Which would be entirely understandable

Now I guess I'm arguing against my point, but I think these numbers are out of whack. I don't think the US limits the number of new doctors per year. That would surprise me. I do think the AMA or whatever has a vested interest in

Not an expert, but I think anything compiled for the ISA implementation you have should work. If there's an issue with RISC-V it's that it's not one ISA with additional instructions accumulating across generations (which I th

This is the first time I've ever seen anyone write 'silicium' and sure enough, it's an alternative name for silicon. I wonder if this is a more common name for silicon in some other part of the world (I'm in the US)

It may be that grocery shopping in parts of the US is different than what you're accustomed to. At least where I live, it's common to shop for a week's worth of groceries (or more), vs. shopping more often. This means that th

Someone created the improvements on it, though. Which is most of what you're paying for when you buy or rent a place to live. This isn't going to change much about landlords. If anything, it will increase the amount of housing ren

I've spent 5 minutes reading about this, but the key difference between this and regular property tax that most of us are used to (in the US anyway) is that it taxes the value of the land, irrespective of any buildings on it. So it enc
