Supporters of the other team are far away and have discounted relevance to your life.


You are pushing a bit hard there. What is point of having a lasting impact? So that people can can life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness

Happy kids does not equal good aid? Really?


Uh no. The goal of good aid/development is to help countries develop their economies, infrastructure and institutions so that people have access to education, healthcare and decent paying jobs... and are enabled to pursue their own ideas of happiness... rather than settle for a free football

Handing out money to kids would make them happy too, but would also not be good aid


I watched this last night:

"Social Mechanics: Bonding, Gratitude and Karma (Earthlings 101, Episode 7) "

Poor people are karma producers. Rich people are karma consumers. Rich people buy karma from poor people to make themselves feel better.

The whole Zog series is a fun (if a bit hard-line) presentation of evolutionary bio theory, in animated form.


If only there were a way to obscure the Kinect's ability to measure the room.


That's ridiculous. Saying "wouldn't it be cool" isn't prior art. Describing a working system is.


Maybe the law has changed but I heard that a patent for a waterbed was once refused because Robert Heinlein had described one in a novel.


I had this problem. My parents never talked to me about how much things cost. I had a rude awakening when I learned how much basic rent was, even more so when I learned what my rent was when I was a kid.

My kids will know how much their stuff costs, and they will earn their luxuries.


How does that explain social behavior among people working at different companies?


In case I was unclear, the taboo is real, and has sociological explanations. I'm just saying there's an economic incentive behind it that favors businesses over employees.


Interesting, do you know the sociological explanations, or know what I can read to learn more? (As a sheer guess, I'd imagine it's part of professional conditioning, like that described in Jeff Schmidt's _Disciplined Minds_. Working-class people might not have this taboo. But I don't know.)


Fortunately, non-empty intervals of real numbers do not exist in computer science.


Did I get my mathematical terms wrong or are you confusing number representations on computers with computer science?


Why is this a website feature instead of a browser extension, where it would work for every site?


I would imagine it's easier for a site owner to provide this than get everyone to install a browser extension.


I think anothermachine meant it should be default behavior in browsers. I agree, with the attribute to disable or enable this from the html it would be a nice feature for browsers to implement.


I just made a simple Chrome Extension out of it: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/simple-form-recove...


It should be a browser feature, option or extension, for users to have control over it from one place.


Form content recall is a native Chrome feature now.


Do you have a link? I've followed Chrome development pretty closely and have never seen that. I too use Lazarus.


Not a link, but without any plugins of that type installed, this is the behavior I've had for a long time now. (I use Chrome for everything until I need to test apps in FF).


Could you explain that? I lost forms yesterday that I couldn't see any way to recall.
