I'm just formulating an argument that a free market is not the be all and end all. If you have the money, bespoke is better. And if you don't have the money, making it yourself is …

There are a couple of ways you can do this: 1) Have this law only apply B2C. 2) Stop having rolling feature updates except on an opt-in basis. It used to be that when I bought an o…

I don't know, but I do know that on my web browser I can add and remove various of the buttons and right-click menu options. And on linux I can skin my desktop environment in a var…

Mandatory sonograms aren't about harm prevention. (Though yes, I would agree with you if you said the government should not be able to compel them.) In the US, commercial activitie…

1) Integration or removal of features isn't speech. And has been subject to government compulsion for a long time (e.g. seat belts and catalytic converters in automobiles). 2) Busi…

Easy, mandate that any UI changes be revertable for the life of the product, or until the company goes bankrupt.

Netflix has proprietary content among the licensed content.

Apocalyptic scifi isn't the same as dystopian scifi. Some of the billionaires backing AI literally have dystopian scifi as a goal, they just intend to do it better so that it doesn…

No. I had one that had something to do with anthropology though.

What's wonderful about comprehensive universities is that there's a program that can excite the interest of almost every personality. And even if that wasn't the case, education in…

My anecdote isn't quite the same, but it's along the lines of many adults, not just one's parents: While in high school I constantly got the message on how important it was to stay…

Dedicated grad schools that are separate from, but affiliated with, dedicated undergrad schools. Those teaching at the dedicated undergrad schools will be hired for their ability t…

You may have had a bad instructor. I don't think I've ever been in a class where I couldn't do some genuine questioning, but of course I didn't always feel the need to do so. Edit …

From what I understand European education and degree programs are typically much more structured and narrow, and thus finish a lot faster. A student who finishes K-Ph.D. in the US …

You're welcome. This article is from Microsoft itself and may help more: https://woshub.com/add-certificate-to-trusted-on-linux/ Vivaldi is a nice chromium-based browser that I use…
