Actually Autolands are not the norm, they are used in certain situations, but far more common is the old fashioned manual landing with pilots in control

And thats exactly what the "ban" does. It provides efficiency targets so efficient incandescent bulbs should they exist would be allowed

While hosting a server is not illegal, if you are knowingly supporting criminal activity with said server then it is actually illegal

Right, futures should be illegal, so people cant do things like hedge future exposure against adverse events? Farmers cant lock in prices at the beginning of the season - airlines can't lock in fuel prices as a hedge against rising prices, etc, etc. Futures have a great many useful and very legitimate trading scenarios - traders who just gamble without hedges are not going to survive for long. In my prior statement, I was referring to investors, who buy a stock, hoping it will rise on the long term, so I do admit my poor choice of words distorted my meaning somewhat, but otherwise I couldn't disagree more with your other statements

that's a complete misrepresentation of HFT - HFT is more about leveling pricing, and it's effect on the individual investor is positive, by providing a more liquid market with tighter spreads to people who do want to bet on the direction of a stock (HFT is not about betting on the movement one way or the other) you may be referring to the 'flash order' issue, where participants try to gain insight into the market by probing so called 'dark pools' where market data is not published, but to caracterize HFT as a whole with this dubious practice is to misunderstand the bulk of HFT

Speaking for myself of course, being a programmer I normally view text. I still find the glossy screen to be superior in real use conditions to my previous matte screen. More contrast, less eye strain

Seconded, I was dubious at first, but I've come to love my glossy screen

Since when do you upload the source code? The binary file would be much smaller in size that the source. Still I agree that it's not likely to contain anything near 100m lines of code

I don't disagree that parents have a responsibility to their kids, but you are taking this to an unworkable extreme. No parent can be absolutely controlling of their children, part of the reason we need to raise kids with parental oversight is that they are not capable of making sound decisions like if this toy is safe to leave around the house or not all the time even when they are 10.

The older they get the more self sufficient / guided they can and should be but you my friend are taking the parental responsibility to an extreme standard no parent could ever attain.
