It's not worth shitting up the entire (and old) mass transit system to enable a tiny number of people to use it - I'd support subsidised taxis for people unable to use the metro.

Same situation with a government: Even if you believe all the MPs / representatives are trustworthy and intend to act in your best interests, their competence is going to be limited, so we need to checks and balances and a limit on the

I would add: Add a bead of your owne wood glue for all wood - wood interfaces, and you'll massively increase the rigidity & durability. Sadly nothing can help with the problem of MDF getting chipped and gouged easily when you move

Pre-ground coffee is limited in quality, as it'll always be stale when it goes into a mass production process as used by Nespresso. You need to be grinding only <15 minutes before brewing to get the best flavour. Likewise, you reall

It is easy to support that stance. Or even perhaps just stopping extrajudicial murder by police as a whole. Go look at the official BLM list of goals - they are advocating to abolish the police, end capitalism, abolish the western nuclear f

Don't worry, apple already tiers most of it's hardware by soldering in the ram / storage & charging an offensive, obviously price gouging amount to upgrade - even though the maximum spec has a base cost to them of 1/

It's more than just a CPU though - this will make the components of a Mac massively similar to an iPad, and probably save money on many other components. It also removes any need for a dedicated GPU in their high-end laptops, which is

How do we know it's "very useable" performance wise? I'd say that we've moved away from virtualisation completely, we now use containers, so developers will expect native performance, as we get on other platforms.

Every phone apple have released since the 5S has been faster than every other phone by a laughable amount, especially in JS benchmarks & web performance. The SE is nothing new. For a long time, Apple's 2 gen old phones were still f

Are they? Certainly not in sales. There was a push to make all laptops have a touchscreen a few years back, but this seems to have fizzled out, and I've seldom seen anyone use them (deliberately anyway).

No, old people have likely already re-produced, and will not be prevented from reproducing if they die now.

It's almost as if to accumulate the wealth to afford a musical instrument made of exotic ivory parts (with no effect on sound) requires a certain lack of ethics in the first place.

Yeah, but they are Github, so they will clearly win out over those companies I’ve never heard of. Everyone with a big report for your OSS project is already on your Github page. Its perfect.

If you think Firefox on Android is fine, please go to http://browserbench.org/Speedometer/ and let us know how it does. Safari on my near 2 year old iPhone 6s scores 89. Mobile devices are approaching desktop performan

FirefoxOS was so clearly doomed to failure from inception. Web based anything has huge overhead compared to native code. Yet they targeted ultra low-end hardware for emerging markets... The benefits of web-based apps are the low barrier t

Were you using the iPhone version? That, like all alternative browsers on iOS, is just a shell around Safari, not the real thing.

They're both about the same, but vimperator is more frequently updated for compatibility with new Firefox versions. That alone is much more useful for me.

The blocker makes little difference, other than performance. All the popular extensions use separate filter subscription lists, which you can subscribe to some or all of. It's those that provide the blocking logic, and which need to be
