The one I have in mind is actually 100% separated from car traffic, eg along a river or rail line.
Yeah, agree. Although I'm not sure how much of a difference biking makes vs. living there in general.
The secret of LA biking infrastructure is that there are a few small rivers / creeks / storm drains running towards the ocean and sometimes those have bike trails. Those are really next level because they are…
I've been biking to work in Los Angeles for ten years and it's surely been one of my best life hacks ever (to the point where access to biking infrastructure has been a primary consideration when buying my house).
Amazon solved trust is very much different than my perception of them: - ads everywhere trying to push low quality product - fake/bought product reviews - commingled inventory (up until recently, still I would never buy…
Note that, in the Netflix example, this is at (or mostly) full pay.
Yep, same boat. That's why I had kept my pixel 4a for years until is finally kicked the bucket 2 years ago.
Yep, judging a tree by its fruit.
I hope you're right!
Still got my E46!
> You'll understand why a neutral third party is wary of both. Oh I can understand this, yet my conclusion stands that China (CCP) is and remains a threat to democracy woldwide (which is my original point). You are not…
I see where you're coming from, but I disagree. The US is far from perfect, but - so far, TBD where we go from here - has had IMHO a net positive influence on keeping democracy around (specifically, I'm thinking of…
To be clear, I'm not arguing in favor of the current administration. In fact, I would argue that they have a similar "might makes right" mindset to the CCP and should be opposed on the same grounds. If anything, foreign…
Well if you care about democracy, they are the only power that can arguably undermine it, not just at home, but worldwide (tiktok, fueling division, funding antidemocratic parties like Germany's AfD). Further, look into…
Truth social (or similarly Pravda)
Thanks for sharing this, comments like yours are the reason I come to this site.
Yeah, reverse osmosis systems adding microplastics themselves is a scary fact I also learned on hacker news a few months ago. Does anyone here know if they are RO systems that don't have that problem?
FWIW, the energy use per capita in the USA (and other western countries) is lower than in the 1970's and has been steady/declining [1]. Granted, some of the energy intensive manufacturing was outsourced to China and…
We could free up a lot of capacity by somehow taxing/regulating the externalities of bitcoin to get people to use etherium (if they must use cryto).
Can't both be true?
Same here. I kept my 4a for ages for the same reason until it died on me (power button stopped working). I'm now on a Pixel 8 and am hauling around a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter as I don't want to put up with the logistics…
Yes, agree that it would be very impractical if Elon was heavily diversified. That said, as it stands, the vast majority of his net worth is tied up in just a few of his own companies, hence this approach should work…
And to clarify, this was a bit of a tongue in cheek comment implying that the US will become friendly enough with the two big autocracies of the world so they will officially buy arms from US defense companies (in which…
Well, I'd say it depends on what you are trying to accomplish. If you don't agree with his political stance and and want to loosen his outsized influence on US democracy (e.g. by pouring hundreds of millions in…
