Trademark law is to prevent "damage" to brands, not protect customers. If a system was in place to protect the customers, it would be the customers who were deceived that sue and receive compensation, not the company owning the trademark.

Clearly the drivers are paid enough to be willing to do it.


Where do you draw the line on that argument? Was the Victorian child labour cool too because they were willing to do it? Were the labour unions employees bad for everyone involved? If not, why not?


Children used to work because they had to in order to survive. The choices were work or starve to death. Taking away the option to work obviously makes them worse off. This plays out today when western countries force labor laws in countries like Bangladesh. When the children can no longer work in factories they often have to resort to prostitution.

The question of labor unions is a different issue. Labor unions do benefit their members who do get raises because of their actions. They do not benefit the people who will no longer get hired because the cost of labor is now higher. They do not benefit workers in other industries because the prices they will pay will be higher and displaced workers will enter their industry lowering their wages. Labor unions harm society at large in order to benefit their memebers.


I think that being well lit will help to deter intruders.


How? Won't getting shot my soldiers be a deterrent?


How will they know if there are soldiers if they aren't lit?


They just need to get Anbox working.

The type of habitat he is describing is known as an O'Neil cylinder. The wikipedia page for the topic probably answers most questions you have about it.

Just an single data point, but this Italian thinks pizza from Naples is way better than pizza from New York [1].

Kind of a weird video. It basically comes down to "This isn't Neopolitan Pizza so it's not as good."

Neopolitan pizza has a whole association that certifies restaurants and Lombardi's isn't on that list. It's no surprise that the pizza will a different style.

It's also pretty funny he mentions that in Italy they fold their pizza, when that is practically the defining characteristic of New York style pizza.


Neapolitan pizza is one thing, Roman pizza is another, and much more akin to New York-style pizza. One type is made in big rectangular pans and sold by weight, it's similar to Focaccia. There is also a round style that is thinner and crispier, which is the best IMO. Fold and eat.

While I do enjoy a good old-fashioned Neapolitan pizza, I much prefer the Roman style, specifically the round thin style and by extension the NY style.


Neapolitan pizza? I have no doubt that it's better in Naples. Any other type of pizza? NYC and Chicago have you beat six ways from Sunday.


What is the lie that Coke et al are being accused of making?


When the phone is connected to a charger, is it drawing power from the wall? Or is it still drawing power from the battery?


My guess would be both - it draws wall power up to a point and once it hits the limit of the charger (usually 5W for the small iPhone cubes) the rest comes out of the battery. So light use might still trickle the battery, but turning on the camera probably drains the battery slightly.


Not an expert, but I'm pretty sure it is drawing power from the wall. My understanding is it is not great for the battery to act as a pass-through for power.

Many cheaper devices warn you not to use the device while charging, because they don't invest in the circuitry to bypass the battery while plugged in.
