Surviving is impossible in the long term. If anything, it's reproduction?

It's not difficult to argue against democracy, but it's very difficult to find an alternative that isn't much worse.

> and sell your data to the highest bidder.

Do they provide a guaratee to only sell once, instead of selling to everyone?

The standard for cookies should be updated with a way to include or retrieve a description of each cookie separately. Then, require sites to provide that description, and let users choose per cookie in the browser.

Paypal isn't just treated like a bank, it is a bank, at least in the EU.

Outlook has ctrl-q to mark as read, and ctrl-a to select all. A tiny error on pushing the button to mark a single mail as read sets everything to read, with no undo available.

Scanning the ones returned as undeliverable. Those would of course not have been opened and therefore nothing written on them.

If white makes it easier to remove dust, then why are the parts that are most likely to get covered in dust gray?

Also, the backpack look a bit bulky.

Speaking of the English language influencing German, I want my Erdbeermarmelade back. I don't care that english marmalde cannot be made of strawberries.

Even a malicious ps/2 keyboard could run any command it desires automatically.

Risk/threat I would accept. Leaking data - to telcos by constantly being connected to some cell tower and explicitly to the manufacturer whatever they decide to transmit - is the part I don't like.

I don't even carry a phone for that reason.

Unlikely. Same as under low-light conditions where everything is grayscale. The light is still colored and just not perceived in color, so it should be blurred grayscale.

Chromatic aberration is mostly relevant further away from the center of vision. If there is an icon (or text) visually inspected carefully it is at the center where chromatic aberration matters least.

The icon is mis-aligned, or its the different color subpixels of the screen that are not produced at the same place. Tradidionally, red is to the left.

Energy storage is the problem that needs a solution, e.g., storage from summer to winter.

There are bathrooms, and tap water is the most strictly regulated food of all, more than bottled water.

Seems to be part of the question. It isn't "Why Do You Want To Work?" but "Why Do You Want To Work for Us?"

> That's maybe 10 liters a day. Seems low for the size of the installation. A liter of gasoline is about 10KWh. So if this thing gets 5 hours a day of full sunlight, it's putting out 2KW. That's like 5 standard solar panels.

> Either I'm calculating this wrong or this is insanely inefficient.

With your numbers: 10 l/day * 10 kWh/l / 5 h/day = 20 kW

Leather is biodegradable and an accepted material for cars. I don't see why the same shouldn't apply to this.

> The current system allows Apple to control 100% of the process and to be fully responsible for everything.

Did Apple refund people who were scammed through apps, e.g. in bitcoin trading like [0] (first item google found)?

The comparison between machine and humans uses the results of the average human driver. Not all humans are alike. Some cause accidents, others don't. There's some randomness involved (every human might be the cause of an accident at some point), but most accidents are caused by individual behavior of specific humans.

For a convincing comparison, remove all those human accidents caused by intentional violations / reclessness, looking at their phones, and known but ignored medical conditions. And compare again.

On average we might be safer with all-AV traffic. But we might be even safer by removing the most dangerous drivers and allowing the rest to continue to drive manually. That's the capability of automation to aim for, not the average human.

> What is a primordial forest [...]

That's a "forrest".

At least in Europe, almost all land has been influenced by humans, and "forrest" is misused for farms that grow trees.

To refer to an actual forrest, an additional qualifier is needed.

While advertizers are abusing some mechanism, isn't the underlying issue that browsers allow that to happen?

When following a link that did claim to go somwhere, but then does not, add a warning page?

Then feed those cases to some cetral database to blame the worst offenders for bad publicity.

Getting the big ad networks to behave won't solve the problem only reduce it. Only local mechanisms can avoid it.

Both scenarios are unlikely. Most likely it will be a long time of being tortured by doctors trying everything in the book to squeeze a few more days of money from your insurance.

Where I work almost all meetings are online, because the majority of people WFH. And it's easier to join online than to walk to a common room for those that don't.

If anyone enables their camera that's usually causing a short burst of laughter. Not because there's anything particularly funny, but simply because noone is used to see other people's faces anymore.

The screen space is used for more important things.

How do you know they are doing it on their company paid time?

As long as there are no id-checks required for roaming and there is at least one country without id-checks, any id-check for local SIMs is security theater only.

>> 8 pounds per gallon

> It never occurred to me that people needed this spelled out, but I guess it's simpler in most of the world where 1L = 1kg.

It's easy in gallons and pounds, too, if the correct gallon is used: 10 pounds per imperial gallon of water, by definition.

Screenshot 1 looks interesting. A mixture of a text- and graphical mode. Was that possible natively? Is what looks like text mode also graphical?

Traditional TV was a lot less addictive than TT. Video games were too taxing to consume an infinite amount of time.

(almost) everyone has an SSL certificate for the web. An OS could check if software is signed with one. And maybe display a warning for only domain validation.
