Can you elaborate on what you mean? Why is it more difficult to deal with formatters, scales, annotations compared with other solutions? Unless I'm misunderstanding something, the defaults are similar to what you would get in Flint, an

That's fair, I generally make charts for publication, so I spend much more time and effort on the details. But I can understand this being useful for quick exploration for some people. Generally speaking, I suggest anyone interested in

I agree that bigger cars are worse, but this seems like a different issue to me than the beeping.

I'm sorry, but as someone who creates data visualisation as a big part of my job, I wouldn't say the charts on the website look good. Most aren't awful either, but by no means are they an improvement over what I'd get by

I would assume so since I've never driven a car. That's still beside the point, unlike playing pinball, driving is an activity that involves risk to people besides you. If you have evidence these systems actually reduce pedestrian

> What did you have shared with the man in Bangor or the pub staff elsewhere in England? That's the point of being polite, treating people decently even if you have little in common. Clearly we have different experiences and that&#x

That's fair, but what you want is not the only thing that matters. Your driving affects me as well, and I want you to be beeped at when you're not doing a good job.

I don't have any identical comparisons of politeness in London and the rest of the UK, but subjectively I do feel people in London are more likely to hold doors, let me skip queues, etc. There's just more of a feeling that we&#x27

I agree with the breakdown of the social contract in London, but not with the unfriendliness. I've lived in the UK for eight years and have travelled to many parts of England and Wales. I've never felt as unwelcome in London as I

Perhaps not everyone should be driving? This is not a criticism towards you, I don't have the patience to be behind a wheel, and I know of many drivers that are a danger to themselves and others. If the side effect of this system is th

I recently bought a camping tent from Naturehike, a budget but respected Chinese brand. I ordered on their website and, long story short, my parcel got stuck at a warehouse for weeks, presumably lost. They said they can't refund me bef

Thats's absolutely fine, I will not tolerate fascists and they can not tolerate me.

"Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the

In spaces and interactions I control, the definition is up to me.

Same old tired arguments from Americans about how if you don't let fascists have free speech, it's not really free speech.

You don't even need to anticipate, you can just push him towards the bottom and follow, he just goes in a loop so eventually you'll catch up. I caught him first try without thinking of any strategy. The controls are horrid though.

If you can't have a conversation without hyperbole and belittling others, you shouldn't be allowed inside.

Some people are also old, or not very technically literate, or have poor vision, or aren't experienced flyers. I can navigate around the dark patterns despite being very lazy, but my dad who only uses a computer occasionally would real

In this specific instance, this is the military of a country different from the one of the author. A country that is increasingly hostile towards its allies and does weird shit on the international stage that is difficult to justify.

Who would argue for offering self-driving cars before they're ready and safe? As a cyclist and pedestrian, of course I don't want them in my country if nobody's going to be liable when they run me over. Let them work out the

To me, sounds like it's a great thing that we waste less agricultural output and have goods available at different price points.

Hell yeah, good for you.

If sharing our data is the least we can do, they shouldn't also ask us for our money. Otherwise, it's more than the least.

They said Europe, why would you assume the EU?

I try to avoid US companies as well when possible, I just avoid Russian ones even more.

We can't put the genie back in the bottle, but we can control how we react to it. As far as I'm concerned, I will treat people wearing smart glasses the same way I would treat someone shoving a smartphone camera in my face. I&#x27

In my circles, Europe's (continuing) dependency on Russian fossil fuels is discussed often and at length. This being a tech forum, it's to be expected that conversations would revolve around tech products like Kagi. Off the top of

I'm not claiming it's an infallible system and that no single cent of my money goes to Russia. I just do what's within my powers based on the information I have.

That is a tough position, I don't have a definitive answer. Perhaps you could look at supporting non-US and non-Russian companies building their own search indexes? Not sure what the state of Ecosia and Qwant's European Search Per
