Apart from weather, a big issue outside the USA is also car infrastructure. The US is extremely car centric with large, straight, easy-to-maneuver roads everywhere. Here in Germany, it's different. We have rather narrow, chaotic roads,

The first few are single family villas, the last four are multi family housing complexes. For some reason, people in Europe back in the 60s believed that creating dense housing only units with no sense of scale, long commutes and walks and

Are you saying that it's more likely API key requirements appear at some point than the interface changing? I'm not that informed, but intuitively, I'd doubt that.

You're right. It's a societal, imagined instability. In the US, if you lose your job, you're "between jobs". In Germany, you're "arbeitslos" (jobless), which some people use as an insult. There are en

I once heard that Americans motivate themselves positively: If I manage to finish this work today, great things will happen! ... while Germans motivate themselves negatively: If I don't finish this work today, I'll lose my job,

Haha, I had an addiction phase as well. It drives me crazy how the beginning is hard, then it gets very easy, and suddenly, you lose.

Just because many privately owned apps are bad, does not mean the concept of apps is bad. If the government in theory can offer a "secure" open source channel for me to do my business with them without having to go there or pay

Loved it! The fun parts of breakout (getting shots trapped behind blocks) without the stressful controls! It's really hard, though. I only survive like 5 shots. If theres a wall of 5s coming at me, what can I do? Still, really cool.

>At the extreme, if it is bad enough, they can start their own. That is not a realistic proposition, either. People are as forced to use private services as they are forced to use government ones. There might be a competitor, but even th

Honestly? It's little more than the better pay for me. I'm generally a conscious person with politics based on empathy and equality, and I have the same thoughts you have, but I have never worked in the public sector due to low sa

You take taxes away from other countries where the profits would be distributed - and where the actual companies operate.

Wait, so you're saying that people would crash into you if you drove the speed limit? I'm a very calm driver and regularly drive at or sometimes below the speed limit if visibility or other factors don't allow higher speeds.

People are rightly skepctical if the same group of doctors continues to publish studies that support their opinion, while all other studies contradict their results.

Well, they received 350k dollars in donations in 2020 alone. I've also heard that they offer "consulting" to governments, such as in Brazil or India. Both used Ivermectin in their "Covid Kits". Didn't really wo

Man, aren't people tired of reposting the same things? This was only shown in a petri dish at very high concentrations. You could say the same about a number of chemicals which we also would not survive in that concentration. I do not

Same for me. It produces some glare for me and I use dark mode almost everywhere. I also don't like the huge font. Looks almost what I'd expect an h2 to look like.

I'm not using Apple ear phones, but wireless head phones are seriously practical. Anytime I have to use my corded ones when walking the dog I get reminded of how they are actually pretty handy. Still use cord ones in other circumstance

I know half a dozen people who say the same. I wouldn't give this too much importance. The flu feels very similar to Covid. When I had Covid, I thought I had a normal cold with allergies. I don't think you can assume you had it be

On Windows, everything requires a third party app. It's insane. I wanted to convert XML to JSON. Well: Tough luck. Go download some app by some person from the store. We are sure it's completely safe! Want to convert a video to a

Sounds reasonable. Most adults stop doing many calculations in their head unless they need it at their jobs and thus get worse at it. Same goes for me, btw. And I never smoked weed in my life. It would be interesting if the people the OP ta

This is so cool. Some suggestions: - I have no idea what the four buttons at the top mean - The edit sidebar could be a little bigger. I'd even onsider making it horizontal? (Edit: just noticed it becomes horizontal when zooming

From my experience, these Microsoft frameworks never really get picked up by larger parts of the community. I feel like Microsoft's approach is to create a framework for everything and hope it sticks - though they appear to repeatedly

Seriously impressive! Great performance, too, from what I can see, and no `console.log` spam :)
