That has existed for a long time and predates the MS acquisition. It's called Github Enterprise.

Skoda is owned by VW

It's not fully state owned, it's semi-privatized. You get the worst of both worlds, so to speak.

I have never seen this. For all flights I have flown recently, the price for a kid and an adult is the exact same.

Actually, that's surprisingly little roads in the US. The population is significantly larger (more than 3x), so on a per person basis roads in Germany see much more use than in the US. And roads there are in a much better state than in

Always enjoyed de_dust more than de_dust2. But I am clearly in the minority on that one.

Lol, Australia and Canada seem to be very similar in this regard.

Same in Germany. Times are usually assumed to be ct (cum tempore) and start XY:15. When something starts sharp, it's specified as st (sine tempore).

Uber outsourced they capital intensive fleet of cars to the drivers. Waymo has no such luxury. But the main point is: if there is no need to compete in price, companies won't do it. There is no other company offering driverless rides a

What does size have to do with it? Switzerland also has less GDP, less tax revenue and less people to build things.

I don't think this is a very good list that should call itself top 100. Maybe anglophone top 100, but even then I'd question some of the choices. I completely ignores a ton of more important works in non-English languages.

Isn't Amazon's APIs everywhere another example of just this that came right from the top? In some companies CEOs double as the tech lead, no?

Waymo is not cheaper than Uber. I don't buy the cost argument tbh.

Yeah, I'd expect many cities passing laws to forbid empty driverless cars on the road unless they're a taxi.
15.
by brummm 1y ago
That's already possible and called taxis/uber/etc. In what way would self driving cars incentivize not owning your own car?

I love that the author clearly describes why saying entropy measures disorder is misleading.

How can anybody trust the US ever again? Trump completely ignored an existing free trade agreement with Canada and Mexico that he himself signed. You have to assume that the US is sane a maximum of four years in a row and in four years anot

"Everyone can draw their own conclusions as to what’s causing this." - Trump caused this. It's clear and simple.

How can you say this with the current state of US politics? It's clearly inferior leading to such poor outcomes.

I don't think this is NIMBYism. The complaints are kind of reasonable and also, allowing a private company like Amazon do this most certainly is not something for the greater good. It's just good for Amazon.

Living in a North American city with power wires being above ground, I have had so many power outages in the last five year, it was kind of a crazy thing to get used to. My Pi would not deal well with power outages when running through the

Is that really true? I think life has become infinitely more convenient over the last few decades. One can now order everything over the internet and not even leave the house. SO many errands that cost tons of time involved leaving the hous

Deeper. The only significance of the Planck length is that at that scale quantum effects and gravitational effects matter equally. Essentially that's where our current theories break down. Beyond that, the Planck length means nothing.

Random question, but what are Apple adapters? Kind of hard to google it, lol

It would redefine the meter too since the speed of light is defined as a constant and the meter derives from it.

While you are right, I think the better formulation is that the US is just super to the right of the normal political spectrum. In Europe you have a pretty good spread across the whole spectrum across the many countries, but in the US the l

I mean, this was essentially solved for gas stations with long, flexible cables. That is the obvious solution here.

Like the other commenter hinted on, it depends on the ambient temperature. While for certain temperate ranges (above 0C) heat pumps are in their high efficiency range and depending on local electricity prices might be cheaper, it can change

Just a note, the Planck lenght is not the smallest possible distance. The plank length is where quantum and graviational effects are of the same "size" and as such, both our theory for gravity and our theory for quantum physics ar

There is other live with almost 100% certainty in the universe. The number of galaxies, stars and planets across the whole universe is just too large for this not to be true. The thought that humans might be the only life in the universe to
