- Comment on The Self-Checkout Nightmare May Finally Be Ending 9 months ago:
From your comment I assume you are American, since I heard that people pack your bags at your stores. In Germany and probably most of Europe a typical checkout process works differently and probably solves the problem.
- You put your stuff on a large transport band, emptying your cart (probably have those as well)
- When you’re up you move your cart at the large area after the cashier
- The cashier registers everything and pushes it to you into that big area
- You put everything in your bags while they are working
- Cashier finishes, you make your payment
- You pack the last 3 items that are remaining
Some stores also introduced a simple “switch” that makes the products of the person after you slide into a seperate area, to save time .

But also the deciders in the dev studios, that take the money even if it doesn’t fit or don’t integrate it properly.
- Comment on Gamers enraged at Ubisoft for injecting ads into the middle of video games 11 months ago:
I don’t mind a little ad in the menu, about stuff directly related to game I’m playing. Those little “Hey we released a new content dlc to this exact game” infos can actually be informative. What I really can’t stand is stuff breaking the immersion of the game. I’m not even mad about product placements, when they fit the theme and are sparsely used.

- Comment on The Hidden Costs of Long Playtimes in Modern Gaming 11 months ago:
Why is length a problem exactly? If you enjoy a game for 200h that’s great. If you get bored of it after 20h fine play something else. There’s no need to complete everything in every game you ever bought.

It’s awesome how much you can pack on a horse. A 4tb Samsung 990 Pro weights 9g. Let’s say a horse can carry 450kg. Thats 450.000g / 9g/4tb = 50.000 × 4 tb = 200 pt. Latency is shit though.

- Comment on Microsoft CEO Nadella's compensation drops... to $48M — CEO to employee pay ratio hits 250 to 1 1 year ago:
Absolutely right, but nobody should expect it to be a perfect solution to all the problems.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO Nadella's compensation drops... to $48M — CEO to employee pay ratio hits 250 to 1 1 year ago:
I’d like to see such a rule, but doubt that there won’t be any loopholes to circumvent it. You can already see some of those in sports. There are a lot of stories on how clubs “dealt” with financial fair play in european football and I heard rumors of a similar thing with the american salary cap too.
Just some ideas:
- ridiculously long contracts with “fair” pay
- managers are working for a seperate company that only contains managers
- seperate overpayed contracts for a none existing job
- material/service based rewards like private jets
All in all good luck with finding a politician pushing this through (most lf the are exactly in those positions) and finding all the loopholes. Rich people can pay a lot of experts to become even richer

Nice, last time the actual installation was finished in about 1.5mins. Guess I wont play it at all.
- Comment on Europe wants easy default browser selection screens. Mozilla is already sounding the alarm on dirty tricks 1 year ago:
All of that points are valid questions to be solved for an implementation. I want to add another one: Which part of the users profit from this?
Most users don’t give a fuck which browser they use as long as it’s working. They cannot comprehend most information you described in your questions and want a simple solution. The other part of users usually knows how to install and select a browser of their choice on a PC. After all it’s not that hard with the current OS choices available anyway.
- Comment on Amazon restricts authors from self-publishing more than three books a day after AI concerns 1 year ago:
Probably not, but it strongly depends on the implementation by Amazon, if it has any effect.
- Comment on Amazon restricts authors from self-publishing more than three books a day after AI concerns 1 year ago:
A book in one language yes, but don’t forget translations. Books of famous writers are sometimes released in multiple languages on the same day.
