Regarding crows, here is a start: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21769575

That is true, but if it's a 2002 model and this first happened now, I perceived it to be a low-probability event. I don't mean to downplay the seriousness of this bug, I'm just say…

Thanks, that turns this from a very serious concern to a much smaller one. I thought it was a Tesla that somehow completely failed to see a pedestrian and then to stop when it made…

I'm a father of a two year old daughter. My friends and family have a bunch of kids similar age. We're in a progressive country where gender equality is good and most people are aw…

Taxes on regular people increases and the quality of services they provide decreases, precisely because of the tax-evading [0] behavior of the multinational corporations. [0]: If y…

You are describing a traditional online retailer. I agree there is probably nothing inherently 'wasteful' about drop-shipping, but it is just another middleman and so it 'wastes' m…

From a cursory glance it seems to me that SNCF's debts are due to them financing all of their infrastructure instead of the French state paying for it (directly, it of course is in…

According to my belief system any mention of evolution is blasphemy so I can not answer this question.

I suspect the only way to develop a method that stops the onset of symptoms is to detect the symptoms really early and figure out what to do from there. Otherwise there is no way t…

In a way, but the downside to the losing party is limited. Also in (at least some of) these systems, it is not an automatic order for the losing party to pay, the court can decide …

Thanks for the Wikipedia link. From the results of this exercise it seems it really was necessary, in order to avoid the same catastrophes on D-day itself. However the operation di…

Oh ok, I'd heard about the emissions quota, but I always thought it wasn't a simple average of the offered range, but was surely weighted by sales.

I'm curious, how do the regulations incentivize making a model that they don't really need to sell much of?

I guess some is the key word. It makes sense to disallow charge backs for Kickstarters and such, because that whole premise is: You pay me a certain amount of money, and I'll try m…

They have actually had one positive influence on my life. After having dealt with exactly what you described a few times, I learned that I don't need anything that's on Pinterest. …

Speaking of walled gardens. There is probably no service in this world that I hate more, as a non-user, than Pinterest.

I read them to mean that the fact that no Dutch girl is doing it is indicative of exploitation. Dutch people generally have lots of opportunities that many other nationalities don'…

If that were true it would be even more terrible. I did find it a bit hard to believe so I checked, and your claim seems to be based on a misunderstanding, according to https://www…

I'm not completely informed of everything ICE does but I believe this is the agency that has been separating children from their parents, caging people for days (weeks?) on end in …

I think the example was that this law will not create such a scenario, in the way that previous rent control schemes have. The example given is of a 500% increase in rent, by defin…

Unfortunately there is way too much oil known today. Much of it will have to stay underground, if the worst climate catastrophes are to be averted.

But would you ever go and look at his repo? If it is the case that she didn't contribute the most complicated stuff, then I can assure you it is not the first time in history that …

On an extremely tangential note: If you need some fun, short shows to relax, watch White Gold on Netflix. Stratego plays a small part in the second series.

The Y language is a future AI programming language that instead of giving directions, it asks the computer questions and thus tries to provoke a response or change in behavior.
