I live in SF, California. I think the cleaner gasoline laws are a good thing. Driving a car that emits a high volume of cancer-causing chemicals is obviously bad for everyone. For example, benzene, a cancer-causing chemical, is reduced by ~

Exactly. Especially "how many more accidents worse-gripping tires cause that result in more totaled vehicles". Forget about the totaled vehicles. Worse-gripping tires are guaranteed to cause more deaths, all else equal.

California has about 30 millions cars. $1B total fuel savings are … $33 per year, for a whooping less than $3 of fuel savings per car, per month. Thing of all the places you can go with that extra half a gallon, all the work you can accompl

Apple Intel laptop + a butterfly keyboard was the absolute gutter tier experience. Not only it was slow and ran hot, but after a few months a random key would get stuck and stop working.

I think the laptop hardware pre Apple M chips was just terrible and has pretty much stayed that way. There’s a reason why Apple moved away from Intel. Before M chips an Apple Intel laptop was just a shiny wrapper for a PC laptop experience

The US Navy has quite a few more tricks up its sleeve apart from aircraft carriers. Just one publicly known that immediately comes to mind: amphibious assault ships, which can launch/land F35s. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org&#

I’ve rented many different brands and the BMW interface is by far the best and quite consistent across generations. It hasn’t changed all that much since early 2000s. What exactly do you think was “user-hostile”? If you want to see bad UI&

Exactly. Unfortunately, it seems like the ship has sailed towards exploitation of the current local maximum (I got GPUs and Terawatts, let’s go!) instead of looking for something better.

I live in SF, and drive alongside Waymos every day. Also, they park in my buildings garage, where they frequently cause major delays and blockages inside the garage. I am pretty sure Waymo does not disclose how many human interventions they

Because almost no one (outside of accessibility needs) truly needs or wants to use voice to control their device. It’s one of the few UX fetishes that refuses to die.

When someone realized that the inheritance glass castle is doomed to always get shattered upon contact with the real world. Inheritance might be OK for formally finite domains but I can’t envision other cases where it should be favored.

Inflation, at minimum, needs to be factored into such calculations. Just one data point to illustrate: in 1950, a bottle of Coca-Cola cost 5 cents .

React Native apps can be made to feel native but it takes some knowledge and skill. In certain cases, a bit of native code might be required instead of off-the-shelf libs. For example, I was looking for a way to perform certain computations

React Native is pretty good at cross platform but yes, it must be tested right away on all platforms. Retrofitting an iOS-only React Native app to Android later is possible but can be of a pain, at least initially.

Yeah… It’s like NFTs with 100% centralized supply and control, if I’m understanding this niche market correctly. Control, as in, tomorrow Valve might decide that some of those items are “unusable” in their game which would presumably also c
