  • Mint has some weird issues sometimes. I spent hours trying to configure smooth scrolling in Firefox (I don't want it to be with 3 line increments, which Mint had enabled by default), also the network stack was odd, all the websites were opening with a delay. I was blaming my ISP, until I realized MQTT commands also run with a delay. So if someone says Ubuntu is more predictable, I would agree.

  • I'm glad IIHS did that: pushing higher standards is always great, so some time in the near future we may see these tests as a part of a standard suite. The test on 3 cars is just a proof of concept: we see 2 of them failing miserably, but it doesn't mean even most of them do, deeper analysis is needed, with more makes and models involved. And it's an important test even if we remove cars from the cities: even in public transportation utopia we will still have unlit out-of-town highways, and it's a good thing to have pedestrians and bikers safe there. Even with separated paths, we will still have crosswalks.

  • Professional communities with invite-only registration, where invites are only distributed to people with high ratings. Also you can add higher barriers, like a requirement to write a valuable on-topic to get rating above a certain level, regardless of the comment rating level. Basically a self-moderated narrowly focused community with invite only registration.

  • If you want to support the author, why not? DRM may be a performance buster, but you can always get a physical copy to support the further development and keep enjoying DRM-free content from the alternative means. Also for stuff where it's harder to get something in an arrrrr way, physical media is often offered with steep discounts some time after the initial launch: I bought a lot of games for Xbox on disks for $10-15, while digital copies were still $60 a year after launch. BTW, if you have a game console, there is a good chance it has Blu Ray already.
