That’s how megacorps are. VW has almost 700K employees. Enforcing a company culture on that scale is a very diffuse and difficult thing. If you are evaluating whether you should trust a company based on their ability to…
You might need to update your filters. Using AdGuard Pro on iOS I’m not seeing any ads.
The design seems reasonable. It seems like a scaled down version of this MIT one that uses similar principles: https://news.mit.edu/2025/window-sized-device-taps-air-safe-... So my vote is for working as expected.
Why would it break the laws? Per the article it uses the heat from sunlight to do some of its work, it's not some kind of magic fabric.
Both things can be true. People can have exaggerated fears about the dangers of transit (especially compared to driving, which people seem to pretend is relatively risk-free), and the crazy / shady folks on transit can…
How often do you think that happens to transit riders? Your concerns seem overblown. And by driving, your odds of getting hurt or dying in a car accident go way up. You’re trading one set of risks for another, not…
I use Loop silicone earplugs, they’re reusable and washable. Used to use the disposables but got tired of the waste.
I started walking every day for at least an hour in my neighborhood parks, on a nearby trail, or just the sidewalks in the neighborhood. I use it as meditation time and don’t engage in any distractions like music or…
> relatively dull intellect You can see data for this by looking at GRE or SAT scores across intended majors. It made me sad to see education majors generally do very poorly compared to the rest.
The organizers are also participants, but yes, there is a large overarching Org that manages the overall infrastructure of the city and that certainly isn't every participant. It's not realistic to expect 70K people to…
> Coachella is a for-profit event with Organizers and Spectators, I don't think it's a good comparison, just because of shared trash bins at the Burn. My Coachella comment was more in response to your suggestion that…
The Burners I've interacted with would happily help others in need and care about the community at large. That's the whole point of civic responsibility, isn't it? If you turn the event into a giant plug and play (if…
It’s run by a literal non-profit. You clearly have no clue what the event is like or how it’s managed. Edit: You can even see their financials here https://burningman.org/about-us/what-we-do/financials-public...
Yes, and it kinda defeats the purpose. The event is in large part about personal responsibility and accountability. Adding trash service out there would make it even easier for people to bring more than they need,…
There are some shitty Burners and those cause the most visible problems, but there are a lot of conscientious ones too (I think it’s the majority of them). Painting them all with the same brush isn’t quite right, a lot…
I had a Home Depot employee cut them for me before purchase, they have a big thing that does it with no effort at all.
Consent is involved, everyone is a volunteer and willing participant. If you don’t want a hug or kiss or whatever you don’t get one. I fail to understand how this makes it anything but “free hugs”
There’s a lot of fairy shrimp that live there and wait for the right conditions to come out. I think there’s a camp dedicated to them.
There's a lot of people even in here who don't seem to get it, who call it a "simple" task to do the port and are confused why this is a bad thing at all. A lot of people in the industry (and perhaps everywhere) have a…
Way to dunk on a whole group of people there. As an engineer turned PM, some of us are intelligent and logical and don’t want to do this stupid shit. And some engineers should never be PMs, I’ve seen some real disasters…
I’m pretty sure turning off the bus is something the bus driver can do. It’s not like buses were wildly roaming around before cellular networks were invented…
And marketing folks would be involved in getting the product into directories, search, magazines, etc. What is it that you think marketing people do? They don't write ad copy all day.
There’s a whole countermeasures section in TFA that describes a clock-based mitigation for this if you bothered to read it.
Al dente pasta has a lower glycemic index than more cooked pasta (which logically makes sense), thus it can be better for you in that context.
This is true unless you look at something like a Seiko Spring Drive, which has a completely smooth second hand sweep, although it’s not entirely mechanical (and maybe only watch nerds care about this)…
