    If that grinds your gears, then also take a look at Pieter Levels

    Child support is a percentage of your pay, so it has nothing to do with poverty. So that just leaves people who are bad with money management. Yes, threaten to take away their driv…

    Have fun collecting that 20% of their minimum wage paycheck for the rest of their life to pay off your injuries, car damage, and lawyer fees. Assuming they don't just get paid unde…

    Don't they have caps and levels for federal employee salaries? I agree that raising the salary would decrease the issues. I think that they'd need exceptions to account for these i…

    For their cheapest model, they want to sell it at $10k which includes profit, but they can't build a single working one before that? Several thousand to build a single functional p…

    You're forcing Apple to carry/send/receive messages for their direct competitors. Apple obviously subsidizes the cost of iMessage currently from their iPhone sales. A workaround co…

    I think it was about 2008-2009 that Canada started requiring US citizens to have their passport. Before that, they would take most US state ids.

    Zigbee Alliance renamed themselves to the CSA. Can companies still keep making Zigbee devices after Matter? Sure, it's not impossible, but it's not really going to happen much more…

    People who want to drive and don't have licenses (whether by their choice or not) are currently driving on the roads right now. Also some of the worst drivers I've ever seen all do…

    They should definitely fix that, however "don't travel much" and "over 50 (countries travelled)" are opposites.

    Maybe let's try rephrasing it. Knowingly making a false report to the police is a crime. If it happens once or twice or even a few times over several years, that's not such a big d…

    His argument makes sense and I think he's completely right. However, his argument also includes, "If the depth prediction is arbitrarily close to lidar". So we have to ask ourselve…

    > My argument is that most people don't need the capabilities offered by brand new, top of the line models. A used laptop that is a couple of years old is, I think, the best choice…

    Why is alimony stupid? I haven't really heard any good arguments against it.

    Canada will acknowledge crimes that you've committed in other countries for denial of entry. As long as there is an equivalent law in Canada that is.

    Canada doesn't recognize pardons and expungements from other countries. You must wait 5 years to apply for forgiveness after your sentence has ended (which would've been in Jan 201…

    iOS has more market share in the US than Android. Regarding paid apps, iOS has higher app store revenue than Android overall.

    It's like a $10 delivery fee plus tip for me using Kroger. Assuming I'm ordering plenty of groceries I easily save that much in gas and time. And as far as I can tell, there's no h…

    I've heard that thrown around before and... that doesn't make any sense. How would it be harder? If the police were to "disappear somebody", how would it be any more difficult to s…

    You realize these devices already exist and for much cheaper right? In fact you can buy or make your own with gps and a sim card too. This technology isn't new at all. Even this ex…
