Don't want to be a downer and I fly regularly myself, but I think right now Air Travel is limited by 1 thing: the supply of carbon neutral fuel.

A few weeks of war in Iran showed us the impact of reduced availability of oil. The rise in the number of amplitude of climate events show us that a lot of what we do is not sustainable.

I’m sorry I can’t answer your question but on a related note I wonder if anyone has used AirPods Pro 3 as hearing aids either as their first pair or replaced their traditional ones with AirPods? I’m considering getting a pair for a family member who has been reluctant to wear traditional ones but I think would be willing to do AirPods.

I’ve lived in developing countries where corruption is rampant and things take a long time to improve.

Tap water was not drinkable there, and it sucked to have to rely on water jugs or water filters of unknown quality.

We are not there in the US but the enshittification is accelerating.

To be honest, this video was quite cringe, 50min of repeating the same thing over and over, repeating her opinion, saying ridiculous unsubstantiated things such as: “musk bought twitter because he was annoyed people were saying he was not a physicist “. Let’s do better and post better content.

I’ve hired dozens of smart Americans with the right degree and willingness to learn and I was not even American myself. I worked with hundreds more. Not sure what you’re talking about.

sure, you can use google or a search engine, look in the results for the actual feeds url (vs just a website or something), and copy paste it in your podcast player. Or you can just search from it directly in your podcast app.

The UX on the latter side is clearly superior.

discoverability, if a friend talks to me about a podcast I could be interested in, i'd rather just have the name of the podcast than a full URL. Here i can just use any podcast app that integrates with Apple podcast service and type the name of the podcast i want to listen to.

Your question is the same as: "Why do you care if $YOUR_SEARCH_ENGINE (google, kaggle, duckduckgo) hosts a list of websites?"

parent said: "no one in either car was hurt". If the cybertruck didn't have any damage it means that no energy was dissipated by "squishing it", basically it made the impact twice as bad (compared to a regular squishier car) for the occupants of both cars. Maybe indeed no one got hurt, but then it means that the crash was at super low speed.

I was just confused by the usage of mph in this context and interpreted parent's comment in a way that would mean amsterdam residents were using mph. I also wanted to provide a data point that does indeed go in the way of the parent regarding people going over the speed limit.

So many comments in here using the context of US cities and missed that Amsterdam (like most big european cities) is not designed for high throughput car transportation and as a result painting that decision as making things "crazy slow" and that it "sounds terrible".

I highly encourage you to go live a week in a big old european city (Paris, London, Berlin, Amsterdam, Madrid) without renting a car to understand why it's not a crazy decision and how it can make the life of the residents so much better.

I made the mistake of watching it. Don’t. The first half is about him commenting to his followers a Meme video of a product manager to a software engineer. The second part is about how they implemented the fact that for black mirror they wanted the first season to be displayed to be season 4 instead of season 1. Might be just personal taste but I found the streamer insufferable.

The stability only came with Service packs though. Initial XP had terrible security. I remember installing an out of the box xp in early 2000 and without doing anything it was infected by malware within 15 minutes of being put online.

Yes. Literally takes 1min to figure out the details.

@op You should likely email dang to delete this post.
