If that's really your take on this then I have no option but to accept it. Let's move forward. What incentivized them to provide the trash cans to begin with, might you suppose? They aren't cheap to buy, or to maintain, or t

A reduction of public restrooms didn't stop the worst 10% of society from having public sex, shooting up drugs, or destroying an area with their lack of defacatory etiquette -- did it? In places where these things were problems with pu

We've got a ton of actually-public restrooms in my neck of the woods (in Ohio). Public rest areas are pretty common along major highways and these include restrooms. Publicly-owned parks usually provide a place to poop, too: Sometimes

Agreed. It was never my intent to suggest that they would be doing so. So move up the management ladder, if you will, until a party that is responsible for making this kind of decision is reached. That's the class of party of which

Does stretching the analogy help to ameliorate the difference betwixt a payment and a returnable deposit?

The trolley analogy doesn't really hold up in this context, does it? The incentive to do the right thing that a coin-deposit shopping cart ("trolley") adds is the ultimate return of that coin. It's not much money, but i

It would be, if the responsible parties were making rational decisions.

We all pay for it. We do this whether publicly-accessible restrooms exist or do not exist. Everybody poops; shit happens. The only real question is: Where does this shit happen?

There have been other cars with frameless windows that didn't have this drop-before-opening feature. 2nd/3rd/4th-gen F-bodies (Camaro/Firebird), for example: All of these cars had frameless windows. None of them did an

I plugged power backwards into a 3.5" floppy drive once, which for some reason did not have a keyed connector. It died instantly.

I'd say that CPUs run ~about as hot today as they did back then; power efficiency wasn't a primary concern. Regular computer users didn't care much about the thermals (it either worked or it didn't), and CPUs didn'

So straight-and-narrow columns of keys are what they're into, and that's a big push that is an important part of what they're doing? (I did look at their website earlier and the details of what I found seemed to get wrapped u

That's a neat UI. It does some, uh, interesting things with the Dark Reader extension, though, at least with the default light theme darkened by Dark Reader. Errors are displayed. Corrections are highlighted. But there's no c

Hi Phil. Well-met. I remember the days of the Great Pi Shortage very well. You guys were trying very hard to sell Raspberry Pis at sensible prices to real people instead of to computer programs, which was/is a commendable effort. T

Destroying some rare books is destroying some rare books. That's a thing that appears may be happening; we can talk about that thing at face-value. No analogs required. Deliberately gathering up and destroying all copies of a rare bo

Right. I understand this kind of analogy. They're intended to be analogous of reality. Which real-world company is said to be buying all existing copies of a book , here?

I support your right to do whatever the hell you want with the books that you own. Build a lending library, or build a bonfire, or do anything else with them that you choose. They're your books. Have at it.

Lars has seemed to me like such a basket case this entire time. He's lead Metallica through the "Copy our tapes! Let everyone hear our music!" early days, through the "They're stealing our master recordings!"

I mean: Yes, but you introduced the concept of lard. And I'm nostalgic for lard (and for OS/2 Warp). The filling for Oreos used to just be lard that was folded together with granulated cane sugar. That's all that the white

I've already seen a small amount of transition in that direction. For instance: Adafruit, last year: They blocked bots very heavy-handedly, including those that were there to gather information at the behest of a present-at-the-keybo

Perhaps, but: Lard hasn't been a part an Oreo cookie for ~30 years. (Anyone want to talk about OS/2 Warp like that's still a current event?)
