  • It prevents any website being able to run intercepts on pasting. This is good when they’re using it to just prevent you from doing it for no real reason but there are many situations where you don’t want a user to be able to arbitrarily just drop text into a text field.

    The big one is 2fa. A lot of the time you might need to enter a five digit code and each number may need to be entered into a particular box if you just click in the first box and press paste after copying the code from an email then it’ll paste the entire contents into that one box. You don’t want that you want some code to automatically paste each letter into each subsequent box, that requires you intercept the original paste command.


  • It’s wrong anyway because the temperatures are high for the current time of year. Even the winter temps.

    So with the northern hemisphere that means that they are higher than they’ve ever been before in the Southern hemisphere it just means they’re higher the winter then they’ve ever been before but they’re still high.

    So it’s a confusing and non relevant distinction.











  • Cities, you just said keyword there cities, you can do it in cities because people want to live in cities. They don’t want to live on the outskirts. Most of these offices are not in the city centre because the city centre is a really expensive place to have an office, only massive corporations are based there.

    The vast majority of office space is in low rent districts on the periphery of cities. Because no one lives there there’s no shops, no leisure centres, no schools, no parks or other green spaces. You can’t just convert every building into a housing unit without considering the surrounding environment.

    It would be infinitely cheaper to just build homes where you actually want them, than to try and convert a building that was never designed for the task.

    I know it’s not trendy or hip or exciting to say that, but when you look at the economics it just doesn’t make sense outside of some very limited circumstances.
