The newspaper used to cost $1 (each! every day!) and it was full of ads. Probably about as much percentage of area as a typical news site today. There must be a balance between "no payment" and "no ads" - the optimum…
What's wrong with clicking on an unknown link? It can only hurt you by taking advantage of an unpatched security bug in your software. But if you have that, you might be vulnerable doing all sorts of other things on the…
This is a paradox of runners and cyclists too. They use high-tech gear to make running easier - easier than a naked human can do it - but they refuse powered assistance. I don't understand why they make such a clear…
By bad luck he happened to be the same person who also did something legal that they really didn't like and also something illegal. So his legal actions have caused an excessive sentence for the relatively minor crimes…
Sounds like if you pay Cryptolocker to recover your files then you can have you money frozen too. Perhaps this is a good incentive to stop people paying extortionists.
If true, this also shows the TRUSTe privacy seal is worthless. The name implies it's undergone some kind of assessment that showed it's good for privacy when just looking at an encrypted file would immediately show the…
There certainly are. Iphones smuggled into mainland form Hong Kong are sold at a premium. Whatever the reasons for that are among the conditions that Apple must have conceded to to sell legally in the mainland.
Actually, yes. Any water shortage in a developed area with cheap water isn't actually a water shortage, it's a mismanagement or incorrect pricing. California can simply produce more water if they really need it, which…
Not stupid, but they either didn't understand or relied on the placebo effect and didn't perform experiments that were actually useful at distinguishing helpful from harmful or useless medicines - AND communicate that…
What sexualities do you think he's talking about? Surely not all of them. But he doesn't explicitly say which groups, if any, he supports discrimination against.
Do you mean poorly thought out or just different opinions? If the latter, perhaps you can show why you disagree?
He seems to mainly be talking about discrimination against gays, though doesn't say it directly. I wonder if he really means it that Apple won't discriminate against pedophiles, incestuous couples or the grey areas on…
Did you just say that immigration is harmful because workers get most of the benefit and property owners relatively little? This economic perspective seems to be only looking at the economy of one group of people.
People at the lower end of the labor market are also adversely affected by each other. Why are they not proposing deportation of low-skilled Americans? No justification seems to escape from the fact that…
"Logically, if immigrants were “stealing” jobs, so would every young person leaving school and entering the job market" It's bizarre that people don't see this. Anyone concerned about immigrants is surely, logically,…
These articles appear from time to time but they never give any sensible reason. Just take it as given that languages must be saved. This one has a long diversion into indigenous medicine - not something that needs a…
This just means the last speakers are hoping to pass their insecurity problem on to another group of new "last speakers" to suffer it for them. Nothing against an individual having that desire, but for a 3rd party to…
Sounds like your problem is drug users/dealers, not people with mobile homes. I hope you wouldn't also want to push out the good ones who aren't causing problems. You can just consider that you now live in a bad…
They nest inside each other as the picture shows. This is clearly a low-labour product. Though I think if you have a lot of people needing a house, there's already a pool of excess labor available.
A surprising fact about wood is that large-section wooden beams can perform better in a fire when there's a lot of flammable material around. They burn slowly from the outside so they take a long time to fail, making it…
Really? Isn't speed limited by the amount of light that can be received in a small lens like on a phone?
There have been some fairly monstrous cases of unions crippling their industries (printers, watersiders). I think that might have put some people off the idea. Not to say all unions are that broken but it seems that…
Doesn't it strike you as weird that there's a concept of "jobs moving overseas"? And that it's usually presented as a bad thing? Somehow even apparently reasonable people still have these blatantly discriminatory tribal…
Talking about committing a crime isn't thoughtcrime. It's perhaps better called a "speechcrime". It's already illegal for all sorts of things. Conspiracy of course is one way. There's also incitement and threats, as…
Traditional conservative values are relative. Western women are forbidden from going topless in public even though men are allowed. They also can't show their pubic hair but can show their head hair. The differences…
