It could have been the other way around if global positioning systems were either not developed or used only by the military. In that case, detecting scenery of a park could be easier than trying to figure out the position on the map.

Or it could just be that maps data are not shared. You'll need to hire boats and hire people to go and draw the map.

I afraid Microsoft will ban me for reading news articles copied from websites without permission, or just having a pirated game on my Windows partition.

Or maybe Chrome (I use FireFox, just an example) ban me for visiting "unclean" websites.

Maybe even the landlord of my rental will kick me out for keeping book post due from the local library.

It's a scary society we live in.

The fact that it's impossible to change game on an ongoing/completed game is exactly the reason why everyone is angry. This is distortion, simple, just like the example of car being charged for miles mentioned in the article. It's no coincidence that games are advertised as "built on ..." since game engine decides how the game is built.

I think a price most recently changed date next to price per unit would be great.

If only smart glass is as popular as mobile phones. When Google introduced their smart glass, I dreamt of a day when a price history overlay is displayed when looking at a barcode, like how Keepa is doing for Amazon.

I also like German price display which has effective price, as in Eur per liter for drinks, making it dead simple to compare products. A smart glass will make it available everywhere.

Back to Carrefour, I really like that they are pushing pro consumer actions. However, we all know too well that they won't do the same when it's their products which are shrinking. Still better than no action though.

RoR is very... specific. Some love it because it comes with magic. Many hate it for the same reason.

You either knows the magic and love it, or you hate it with a passion. You never really know when (not if) your change will break the system because it's supposed to name in a very specific way that work by, again, magic.

As with traditional Reddit PR: Reddit will comment when there's correction to be made. Since Reddit made no correction, the article is 100% accurate.

If the pieces are small enough, there's an option to print one by one in the same print.

Where did you get the idea that you get to choose?

"Quite often, you come up with great ideas, but when we are all on Zoom, it's really hard,"

Easy, close the company down.

Making education so expensive that the only way for some to pursue education is to die for their country is a crime. If majority of your citizen view being part of army is only for poor people, your country does not deserve to be protected because obviously not enough people willing to fight for it. Turning your citizens into slaves and sending them into the meat grinder makes you a monster.
