Thank god they swiftly banned scooters from the sidewalk in Austria. And enforced reasonable speed limits as well. Right after Lyft, Lime and whatnot started to literally litter the sidewalks of Vienna with their (almost free) electric scoo

I think after all this falls under the super-category Velomobile [1] - there are plenty of other examples for two-seater, electric assisted Velomobiles. Also, Velomobiles are way more popular. My unkle (used to?) drives one every day to wor

Wow, the hoops you have to jump through to find a price! 5k or 5.5k, depending on variant. Although to be practicable (not a hobby), you will have to add quite a few "extras". But not that bad actually! Makes me wonder how it is b

Oh, I would argue that it is a marketable asset. Depends on your prospective employer. In e.g. Austria regional or communal government, or agencies working with them, would gladly pick you up, give you a protected workplace and enlist you t

Thank you for your critique. If now you have something to add to the points made after "Foremost:" and "Second:" your post could have added something to the discussion as well, instead of just attacking my form.

Oh wow. Nobody said that the journal should not have published because it is not interesting . You should instead focus on the given argument of "scientific standards" and the Scientific Method, the implicit rule-set of science (

Aehm, can you explain what your critique is? How is the definition of a covid case flawed in your opinion?

This is a common statement and I don't think this is true. Foremost: If someone had cancer, that does not mean he would have died immediately . Heck, he could have "survived" it, or at least lived for several more years. Sec

> Does the body essentially generate an immune response to the foreign molecule and then basically attack it whenever you encounter it again (e.g., by consuming red meat)? Any foremost protein (maybe some other substances too) in fact.

Well, allergies are almost always "something you tolerated most of your life (until then)" ... in my understanding you're not born with immune-intolerance to something (although you are most certainly born with a disposit

Call me a "uneducated layman" but that advice was my very first impulse while reading the pain the patient is going through. Thankfully in psychiatry there is a push for "treating what is bothering you" against the Freud

It seems you did not try to understand my comment: I said "taken to the extreme". Put differently: If you are going to wrap every pair of lines into separate functions as a way to structure your code, you code will end up becoming

I can relate to where the author is coming from. What these comments do is give the code structure , and giving an outsider a better/faster view into the code, when he has no internal model for the library/framework/API&#x

It triggers half of HN because taken at extreme (abusing) this advice will render code unreadable again. It is never clear cut. But if you never reuse the same code, or it is targeting the wrong abstraction layer (you can't reuse the f

E-Mail and Python notebooks? I don't think they these are the primary use cases for a "digital paper" device. What you consider an "overengineered piece" of paper might be intentional. Maybe you don't need pape

But then there is no argument left for nuclear in the first place! Once you have scalable storage for excess energy, renewables and their fluctuations are simply cheaper, safer and greener, right?

I disagree wholeheartedly. Mindless browsing will occupy my attention, keeps me distracted and on the edge, draining my energy and mental capacity, makes me jittery - even if this realization took me quite some time. A walk in the woods i

At the narrowest point it would be ~2km, but this variant has not been considered for years... The variant that (at the time) is supposed to be built would be 8.6km.

Oh, I"m all for not building highways at all and pushing the alternatives (e.g. public transport, cargo on rails). But this is a special situation, a really small gap between the Swiss highway and the Austrian/German highway, so t

Come around to Vorarlberg, Austria - where we talk about building a Highway in the 70ies or 80ies and never even start building it (all with official planning and studies and resident participation and environmental evaluations and public v

I had no issue with that, but slides kept "losing" my figures while it was open - it got quite frustrating since I was trying to record a talk.

I guess there are just too many pages that break autocomplete, e.g. for username/password as a "security feature". I encountered quite a few myself and was very annoyed. I guess devs took the "usability" side of the

There is a saying where my folks are from: "Dying from fear of death will just as well kill you". But what I learned the last few years is that I don't miss the things that I thought were "living" when I was young.

EDIT: I realized that I am maybe a little sensitive, and the question could be read the other way round, giving the liver enough time to recover between two occasional (small) intakes. That is actually an interesting question. Leaving origi

Not an MD, but in my experience this seems a question that MDs don't like to answer - for good reason. (I.e. if I understood your question correctly) There is so much individuality involved (genetics, history, liver health in general),

I am (kind of) in research on the CS side, and I wish I was on the medical side. The grant hunting, bullshitting, old-stuff-in-new-covers is all the same, but the problems and the topics are just so much more approachable, relevant, interes

The MacBook Air was not really a "high performance" machine to start with though - you can't compare that with a ThinkPad :) And it was seldomly updated, so you could get very aged specs. If you bought a MacBook 2011/201

Aehm, thanks? If you bought your MacBook until MID 2012, you're out of luck though. And 10 years old would be early 2011, and those are also not supported. Mojave has the same requirements basically, that leaves High Sierra, and High S
