What I observe as a parent; 95% of the teacher's job cannot be scaled with technology.

Going to the gym is very boring for me.

Try group exercise studios, if you have one available. The classes are usually one hour. It makes planning very easy. Same time, every week. All you need to do is to show up.

Ç is a brilliant name

I must be the minority that barely noticed any changes after upgrading to Tahoe.

Good luck getting Americans eat sufficient broccoli to source their protein without also adding a ton of cheese or fat/sugar based sauces.

My personal anecdotal experience is that once you make a conscious effort to avoid added sugars, your taste buds eventually recalibrate over the course of a few months and you end up perceiving stuff with added sugar as way too sweet.

They have a standalone keyboard product that snaps with magsafe.

That's a phone compass problem no? Perhaps the specific way you're holding the phone is confusing for the algorithm?

There is a million ways where that interaction goes sideways and becomes a drama between the parents nowadays.

What's the play here? Afaik there are no monetary perks to being a top maps contributor.

I was reading about shield volcanoes and it sounds like the low viscosity lava is the defining feature. So the flow is par for the course.

That's not very useful?

For homeowners, the real estate transactions are public and majority of white collar people have LinkedIn accounts.

Did you read or even skim the article? It mentions fire safety codes specifically, violation of which is the very reason that fire happened not because it was a tall building. Do you understand why California wild fires are more lethal as of recently?

Also not very clear how they attributed the failure to solar radiation.

I meant to say it's not new information. The blog post I linked is from a month ago. It is also more accessible for casual reading.

This is hardly a secret. Matt Levine blogged about it: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/newsletters/2025-10-29/put...

The start menu cluster, incessant pushing of Edge and OneDrive are the reasons I installed Linux after about a decade of not using desktop Linux outside of work. I am genuinely shocked and impressed how clean and snappy the experience is (Arch + KDE Plasma). Thanks to Valve, Windows games run just fine, too. Not going back...

Do coding in non-assembly programming languages make you a worse programmer in the long run because you are not exposed to the deepest level of complexity?

Bike infra is forever stuck in the limbo of building half-assed solutions and then complaining not enough ridership is taking it up.

It's really hard to reply without making a statement on politics but you really should diversify your news consumption.

The author claims to be 8 years old in 2015. So that makes them still a teenager. It is pretty cool IMO.

I wouldn't recognize the Volvo EV semi pictured in the article while driving. It looks generic.

California has this and it's great. https://calmatters.digitaldemocracy.org/bills/ca_202320240ab...

Oh yes it does https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squat_toilet.

Sorry but this is a bad take. The active light on "screens" is stimulating, causes eye strain and keeps you awake. The two technologies are not the same.

You are correct. Technically it is a zoning problem. But such zoning only became feasible after cars went mainstream. There are many self perpetuating elements of exclusionary zoning and car dependency.

Initially people assumed without evidence that the wireless signals from portable devices would interfere with avionics. It was the days where you could prophetically "hear" that you are about to get a call or sms through your computer speakers.

I don't believe the SEO blame. I think in reality microblogging won. People get the same engagement with 2% of the effort.

As a cyclist (albeit never raced), I want to get offended by this but I feel is largely correct. There is a lot of real time strategizing happening in road races however the marginal gains of simply having more Watts per kg for more hours trumps everything else.

Yes, people should read the whole thread instead of jumping to conclusions after the first post.
