Can you point to some places that have implemented some, or all, of your policies and have seen some sustained growth in birth rates.

That is not a bad theory, but I can't tell you the difference when I try using one of their shavers vs the store brand ones I usually get. I also cannot tell the difference between that and just buying safety razor blades, though there

Sure, but they would probably be easier to sell. You need a pretty good story to sell an iPhone new in box, but you could always claim to be a liquidator for a chapter 11 coffee shop and resell the machines.

I was surprised. A standard US drink is 14g, so there is almost exactly 5 drinks in a bottle of wine.

Do you think this will stop China from producing AI? The choice we have isn't to live with or without AI, it is to build AI or be crushed by it.

I got a lot more confused now: does an entire bottle of wine really only contain 5 drinks?

Wouldn't it be more productive to focus on how awesome your workout was? Especially if you have been doing it for years you probably do sets with weights that the average person could not do as a 1-rep max.

I think Norway already turned their analog radio network of (so AM and FM) in favour of digital. So the answer would be the same in both cases: the broadcaster has to update to newer technology to keep listeners.

The life of a car thief is not worth me stepping one foot to the right. They cause massive harm to society and should be dealt with.

The problem with being able to request permissions is that the extensions will then not work without it. So in reality you often don't have a choice. Ultimately of course, it is folly to assume you can have privacy with a browser made

The solution to that is not to believe anything and just go on with your life.

I don't believe actors mumble in general. I am ESL, but I can follow along just fine without subtitles, as long as I use my headphones. The same show with just the speakers in my Macbook and the actors were heard to understand. Of cour

When I visit my parents we sometimes walk the dog after dinner, and we go one of two routes. In the summer seeing is no problem, but in the fall or winter as soon as we turn of the street with its street lights and past the lit church tower

Audio is great, iff you have a soundbar or a good set of headphones. The problem is that a decent portion of the audience don't and there is no fallback to more classic audio mixing. This means that you either have to create for the lo

If we somehow changed the rules so that Mc Donald and Starbucks were illegal, we would not end up with local artisinal coffeeshops on every corner, we would likely have a lot fewer places to get good coffee.

As others have pointed out, it is not teaching others wrong things: copying the directory is (modulo optimization) what Git does. However if you dump people straight into everything at once they will become extremely confused and won't

If I was teaching anybody programming I would teach them to copy the folder over every time they added a new feature, rather than teach them git at the same time. With some C++ libraries or node_modules that can run up fast.

They pay to send model, at something like 0.1 penny an email does not destory amazon package shipments, but would properly force mailinglists to require payment to be on them. But more importantly: the list didn't give technical answer

You can't overdose on coffee, but a lot of people will happily say that they are addicted. Yet it causes no greater societal issues, because it is legal.

Addicts are the ones doing that.

Because EU banned the free market. The ideal would have been a slow transition where LEDs would have had to compete with bulbs. Like the others I want to buy an LED where the visible light cannot be meassured differently from a normal one,

That could as easily have backfired, especially because AA is religious and has cultish vibes. A young person who drinks that much might well end up deciding to say fuck this and drink even more. We know there are better and more effective

Your argument doesn't fit. It is illegal to nail thesis to church doors, but also to trees, houses, hospitals, military installations, porches, fences, barns and anything else without the owners permission. It is illegal no matter what

Well yes. Thanks to much better input, my mind is operating much faster now than it would have been if my life had been shifted 40 years earlier, so I need a faster way to output too. And yes typing is much faster. I type slowly, maxing out

I haven't had issues with the deregistering on either of my iPads (both first and second generation pencil) but I did notice that I started to write in cursive. Which for whatever reason the iPad cannot recognize as text.

I got a fountain pen years ago, and it almost wanted me to draw in cursive. I didn't recognize it before I got an iPad with the pen and started to use it a bit to write with, because it too wanted me to write in a connected way. Of cou

Calendar is acceptable because I set each and every notification. An taxi app might be acceptable because it has real world usage, but I imagine it would be abused pretty heavily with "first mile is free if you take a taxi tonight&quot

I would NOT want to get a notification if somebody replied to my comment on HN. I want a small, unoptrusive icon on HN that shows the exact number of replies that I haven't read and that I can click on when I have time. There is far to
