30%-50% drop in range living in a cold wintery climate (including reduced efficiency via snow tires), makes it not an option for me, esp. going to larger town to shop, ski, or hike in remote trails. My garage is unheated and in the winter I

Facial recognition in policing is unethical, authoritarian, prone to abuse in the first place - don't need to bring race into it.

If it results in 10% reduction in engagement or fake news, I think its worth it. I do wonder: can you share substack, medium.com, or similar links? Do blogs count as news?

City population aside. Looks like a nice modern place, with nice architecture. I'm sure the city has great pride in it. But costly and quick research (reviews, reddit threads) seems to point to it not being a great place to study/

Less fake news, less engagement on platforms, less polarization. Why can't Canadians open their browsers and type in www.news-site.com if they want news? The Canadian government is obviously putting forward some really dumb policy, but

Ring cameras are wired and you can set them up to only turn on when you aren't home. Thats what I do. I also don't have neighbors and live in the woods.

Oslo wouldn't even crack the top 25 in population based on US cities. As a country, its also way less diverse and 1% of the total population size of the US. Comparing anything in the US to what is done in Nordic countries is generally

Idk about Canada but the visa process for tech workers in the US isn't exactly easy (unless you're from India or China, which represent 85% of all h1bs). You pretty much have to pay for a Graduate degree in the US to get to work h

Public libraries seem heavily romanticized. They aren't the places they once were. The big one in my local city is in an unsavory part of town, with homeless and drug addicts all over, creepy dudes looking at porn inside, with the love

It's actually quite easy to get a job in Germany as a tech person - in lieu of a degree, you can get a visa with 4 years of experience. But the HR teams are generally clueless when it comes to processing visas. Startups don't know

You can even take it a step further because you can sign up to be a "Worldcoin Orb Operator" and help facilitate the entire process against your fellow countrymen. Honestly I was impressed with how brazen this entire thing is - th

You don't need ESG to practice good corporate responsibility and governance. Carbon credits are a scam. Great interview on this topic by an esteemed NYU professor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt0C05i7pBs

There isn't a good likelihood on strong return on those type of investments. You need real engineering talent and leaders. You can glue together a delivery or dating app with a bunch of 25 year olds who just got out of a ruby on rails
