To me, it's like saying "Do you want the shit sandwich? Or the shit hoagie?"
The sandwich! Why the fuck would you chose the hoagie. Hoagies are big and typically loaded with ingredients. In a sandwich you could barely get a table spoon of shit in it, on the hoagie you get get your entire dog's previous night's dinner.
So, if four people were stabbed, would you want fewer knives in this country? No, I am not being sarcastic.
Yes I would, and no I'm not being sarcastic either. The vast majority of stabbings are done with specific knives used for a specific purpose i.e. being concealed on the body in a way that doesn't cut the holder. Guess what, many sane countries have restricted the carrying of these too.
Would I want kitchen knives reduced? No and that wouldn't make sense either since the vast majority of children* don't carry kitchen knives as weapons.
*Children in this case used to describe the people who think they need to carry knives / guns for "protection."
For the right size and public transport availability yes.
FTFY. The density isn't as important as the ability for people to get to where they need to go to get about their daily lives. City planing is critical in terms of zoning and public transport.
I visit Spain often and I have to agree. The way cities are managing car / pedestrian interaction is incredible and varied. Lots of town planers are currently looking to Barcelona for their trial of the superblock concept: https://www.theguardian.com/ci... which effectively eliminates thoroughfare on many roads.
I have a dual degree in Business and Engineering. I was always fascinated by the concept that Business Management assignments had a minimum word count, and engineering assignments had a maximum.
It kind of fundamentally explains the differences between: Management: Bullshit until the bull can shit no more. STEM: If you can't explain it in a 1 liner then you haven't found the best solution.
Well, really, the problem here is a lack of capitalism. Capitalism handles this quite well: somebody buys all the patents for these emissions technologies, positions themselves as having great emissions, causes the standards to tighten, and licenses the technology to their competitors so they make a fucking mint.
*Sigh* another person who doesn't understand the difference between the political concept of capitalism and the economic concept of the perfect market.
The average new car in the 70s vs the average new car now is a difference of $23k vs $30k adjsuted for inflation. The average car in the 70s wasn't even remotely as nice as the average car of today even ignoring value added features.
Cars are just as cheap as they always have been. People just like paying for luxury. Ironically this is the opposite of the airline question where flights in the 70s were more expensive than business class is now, yet people still complain about service of economy.
Jarwulf: I have so much confirmation bias that I only see what I want to see about Slashdot and somehow attribute my bias to some pro / anti trump pro / anti China agenda.
Exactly, the snowflakes need to understand that criticizing their idea doesn't mean that they as a person are being abused.
And the angry anti-SJW crowds who label everyone they disagree with need to understand that just because something is "criticism" doesn't mean that it isn't also abuse or outright dickish behaviour.
You are right, and you are wrong. The answer lies somewhere inbetween the vocal extremems that have infested both sides.
The fact that you actually take issue with things as tiny as Linus calling patches he's explained how they've been badly done "garbage"
Oh tip of the iceberg. The entire context of most of those posts are written in a truly dickish way for no reason what so ever. You can call something garbage without being a dick about it.
I said you meaning you specifically, not Linus, clearly he wasn't capable of that.
Not to mention holding your save games at ransom. "Oh, you've got a 99% complete save file? Would be a shame if you stopped paying for a couple of months and something... happened to it."
Nothing will happen to it. It will still be right there on your Switch where you left it.
You may not have a backup of it though, so I suggest not hitting your Switch with a sledge hammer while your subscription lapses.
Obviously they mean 7 different accounts, but using the same Switch
No. Nintendo's primary aim is to get multiple Switches into each household. We're close to buying a second one in ours since someone often takes it with them when travelling.
We are actually going to try and stretch this relationship and see if their service is locked to country ala Amazon Prime Family, or if we can include our relatives in the $35... who live so far away that if you travel any further they'd start getting closer to us (despite what flat earthers will have you believe). Time will tell if we get instabanned for the attempt:)
Can you even play single-player games on this thing at all?
Most games out there are single player. There's only a few true mutiplayer only games. And the lameness factor is highly dependent on the game in question.
German 'poors' are routed into apprenticeships, same as their parents were.
I don't understand your comment and I am sitting in a room full of german Dipl.-Ing (professional engineers) and Doctors who started life as electricians and fitters. Many of them earnt quite a bit more than I did while doing their degrees.
It is unfortunate Musk gets the company into trouble.
But has he? What is currently underway is a probe. Not a prosecution, not a judgement, but a probe. It's like you getting yourself in trouble because I decide to sue you for the comment you just made. It could happen, but let's face it you won't be in trouble as a result.
Slashdot Mirror
If you say so.

Amazon has less than 10% of retail. It's smaller than Walmart.
Which is a bit like saying Microsoft isn't a monopoly because their OS only runs on a small fraction of devices powered by electricity.
Monopolies exist in specific markets and can be prosecuted under specific markets.

You keep calling it a phone. It should come to no surprise to anyone that you wouldn't know what to do with a modern device.
to produce Linux kernel of best possible quality in shortest amount of time.
You'd be amazed at how much better quality and speed is when you cut through toxic bullshit that you sometimes see on the kernel mailing list.

James Damour. Fired for being right.
while also being in the wrong company.

Thanks for the edit, but most adults, and even some children, can do this on their own, usually while in the act of reading.
Yeah most adults could probably ignore people being dicks for no reason. That doesn't mean they should tollerate them.

They are instafailing by implimenting all their competitor's processes for a small fraction of the cost?

what makes the author think that technology will be available to most consumers within a few years?
What are you talking about? That technology was available to consumers years ago: http://onlive.com/

The trouble with socialism is that people love quoting phrases about socialism without actually understanding anything about it.

It's a friggin Phone for crissakes.
If that's what you think then you paid about $800 too much for your phone.
