Yes, and observe how much higher all the other seats are. It’s not like city buses have super high ceilings compared to school buses. Just the entrance is different. The fundamental difference is that a city bus needs to be wheelchair acces

Overhead cables probably wouldn’t work well at an airport.

I think that might just be an illusion. The dimensions of a Citaro and a school bus are roughly the same.

We are biology. If you think about biology as an exponentially improving process over billions of years, then our intelligence is simply an extension of the process and the things we do to it are feeding the exponential cycle of "impro

I think it comes down to whether or not you enjoy slice of life. I just watched My Neighbor Totoro with my daughter. It was the first time for both of us. I found it amazing, but, ultimately, nothing actually happens in the movie. Spirited

Based on the original comment, the poster heavily implied they’re an Android user specifically for ideological reasons. And indeed, a recent comment confirms this, at least the using Android part: https://news.ycombinator.com&#x2

Ah, ok. I see. I originally interpreted your comment as “there was some natural language spec, therefore you could feed it into an LLM” but I see I was mistaken.

Ok but the point still stands. My impression of iOS users is they simply feel they prefer the UX, whereas you feel, as an Android user, that you’re making an ideological choice. As someone who cares little for the ideology of consumer choic

Do you really think iOS users view iPhones as a status symbol? That seems like a major incompatibility right there.

Why would you assume either of those things? There is no conflict of interest for the city here. The journalists, maybe, but such a conflict would be tenuous.

It would be pretty irresponsible for the city government not to have some budget for good will items like this. It’s not about making a favored victim whole. It’s about preventing a news crew going back to their country and saying “hey, we

I share the sentiment with others here that have become disillusioned with LLMs. Yes, their capabilities are impressive, and their progression is quite striking. But what I have realized, about programming specifically, is that I don't

Of course the issue is the user not the tool. But, there is no shortage of assholes in the world. So if something can be used for low-effort, high reward unethical purposes, it’s very likely to happen and is something that should be conside

Minimum wage is a red herring. Everything other than unionization is a red herring. Countries with strong labor don't even need a minimum wage. Think about a place you consider to have strong workers rights. You might think of northern

Why do they seem at odds with each other?

No, it doesn’t. The ban against software patents is to prevent things like “X, but using software” from being patented. A good example is Sonos’ patent on controlling the volume of multiple speakers from an app. That’s just a dumb patent. V

The only fix is to disable private relay. The people who run archive don’t like Cloudflare, for some reason, which is the service provider for private relay.

Yes… and you’re not allowed to do that unless you truly can’t find an American to fill the role.

According to TFA, the discrimination happens when Apple doesn’t adequately look for a U.S. employee and instead chooses to to relocate you to the US. How is that not obvious? If Apple is happy to hire you in the UK and you’re happy to live

Snap also laid off 20 product managers. It sucks for those affected, but it’s not really a newsworthy layoff.

But it wasn’t a “sex chat place.” It was a place to talk to random people on the internet. It’s common sense that encounters with dangerous people are possible when engaging with random internet strangers. It bothers me that we live in a wo

I’ve lived in both the US and Europe. They’re vastly different places. I wouldn’t say one is better than the other, but certain types of personalities will definitely enjoy one more than the other.
