I was wondering about this. Will the design fail as it's so out there and truck owners see themselves in a classic truck shape. Or maybe the design works because truck buyers want a large, stand-out vehicle and the extreme design of th

Indeed, not saying that even one person survived does not bode well. It's very early days, and if it's possible at all they're not likely to be able to do this effectively for a while, but you'd be hoping for some positi

So true! I work across Scandinavia and there are definitely more consensus forming meetings in Sweden than elsewhere, even. Having previously worked in US & UK companies I'm still not used to it and I often feel like banging my hea

The article explains that the colour chart was only for the photos used for training the model. After the model was complete it is not needed, so the use of the software is to be able to take photos without a reference palette when doing re

Wow, I really don't know how to start to respond to this! Maybe I'm too "cranially challenged"? ;) You've mentioned quite a few cliched tropes, which I'm sure you can already find many suitable echo chambers fo

The mismatch in floor heights is something I also find jarring. The changes in standards mean that floor heights are reducing, leading to this. It'd have cost them more to build matching floor heights and they might have had to have on

Some of these designs are great and others show the laziness and focus on cost-cutting in much of modern architecture. Just putting a new building behind an old facade is not architecture, it's copy and pasting. The true architects are

That's not how people use their cars or charging stations! People don't drive to places to charge their cars, they drive their cars to get places and park where they can charge. A charging infrastructure needs to have charging sta

Tesla is a small scale producer, so their market sizes can be quite small (Norway's population is 5 million and a key market). What drives the market is desire, money and charging. It seems Israel has the first two but hasn't got

I suppose "large" is relative. The numbers for a DDoS attack can look large to someone with little experience (journalists, PR, small-time IT department, etc...) and the same numbers could be in inconsequential daily occurrence fo

There are so many of these scams out there. The internet allows people to google to check if it's legit, but they'll also find a lot of online firms offering the same service at a markup, which helps convince people that the origi

I don't dispute that action due to profit is much better than no action at all. The sentiment in the post I replied to seemed to be that our society should be striving towards "profitable goodness". I think a good action shou

> This is profitable goodness. This is what we should strive for as a society. Many people, including myself, would like society to take action because it's the right thing to do in of itself, not because it's profitable. We sh

Yes, I would as I consider depressurisation an extreme event. I believe the pilots have a separate oxygen supply, so a double failure is even more unlikely.

In the past, I've known people who refused to fly on McDonnell Douglas planes as their record was so bad. I wonder if the same has started, or will start happening, with Boeing.

No, because car lights only illuminate some of the surrounding area. You can't illuminate much more without causing issues for other road users (which is why there are laws around car head lamp & bulb design & usage).

I've never worked out how to use pinterest. It's one of those "successes" that I personally fail to see any value in. If I'm searching for something and I land on pinterest it's like hitting a dead end. I can g

Then the problem to solve is the rights & IP. If farmers are allowed to re-plant seeds and future financial liabilities are removed, then GM becomes a great way of solving a lot of problems. Perhaps GM technology for farming should be c

Applying Occam's razor, an unusual event like sabotage would need more than circumstantial evidence. There is a long list of contributing factors towards corporate negligence that makes an accident much more likely. One thing that hasn

I agree. It’s amazing how important a choice of words can be. The word debt has negative connotations for many people, perhaps even hints of irresponsibility (e.g. you should have done it properly in the first place). It’s not always possib

There's another commenter below confirming this. The article mentions criminals switching to crypto, which misses out those with an increasing mistrust of financial institutions who prefer crypto. I wonder if the criminal use case has
