I do not that that will be true for teens growing up today. They seem to be weened on a sort of cyborg I traction model rather than any actual direct human contact.

The only thing I would add is that I find the only people using whatsapp are grandparents talking to children, not groups with any level of tech savvy...

This isnt capitalism. It's more corporatism. Capitalism responded to market forces and the needs of the customer.

Lol. This is complete nonsense. Numbers that don't hold up, assertions which don't pass the smell test. Linux excels in invironments where people don't ever lnow they're using Linux. Servers, embedded and highly customi

Absolutely. The risk of putting load on the engine before the moving parts and oil have reached operating temps is far greater than the threat of tiny amounts of gasoline washing residual oil from the cylinder walls or thinning the oil. Th

Well. There is some pretty big context issues here. Texas hasn't been shutting down power plants while subsidizing less capable replacements and outlawing non-electric alternatives. Texas governor also hasnt warned people not to charge

This is textbook unintended consequences of government action. If there were a market for this then the products would already exist. By moving beyond an ingredient disclosure to the elimination of all possible sources of contamination the

The change in the law makes that insufficient to eliminate the liability. It isn't a matter of labeling but the cost of eliminating any possibility of cross contamination.

This is it. The labeling isn't the problem it's the extra processes and cost required to eliminate the potential for any cross contamination. This problem, cost and liability goes away by just adding the ingredient.

I think this perspective is born of ignorance. A mature company doesn't rely on interactions of the ceo in day to day operations. If the right people are in place those will take care of themselves. The ceo value comes in from the s

This is full of misdirection and half truths. It is true that transit policy is a choice but it is one largely driven by economics. There is also an element of personal preference. Public transit is not pleasant or flexible. Believing tha

How do you equate some people's denial of death with a cost of millions to society rather than as costs to the indovidual?

There is a lot of subjectivity in your conclusion. Healthy diet for example is not a singularly defined term and depending on specifics can be argued to lower quality of life even if they improve health.

Given the multitude of problems facing California this is an asinine thing to focus on. Rather than hoping for a celebrity mountain lion in your neighborhood you should probably focus on the problems endangering humans in your state.

Both of those can be bad at once you know... A lithium mine is much more devastating to the environment than an oil well or franking. That doesn't mean either of these are really good options despite what either side wants to pretend.

That's not an argument for putting these in front of people before they're ready. I'd disagree that this is the ultimate result of the internet, or even a desirable result. We already live in a state that results in an inflat

I don't really have a take on the specifics here but there have been many similar threads where the intent wasn't to cause harm but the steps taken to 'help' inevitably led to harm instead. It's easy for people to g

For years I've only used them for OS installs on personal machines. At work pluggiing one into a machine would get you fired and questioned by authorities. If we have to sneakernet files it means burning them to a CD or DVD...
