> the outcomes of revolutions are usually much worse in the short term and often in the longer term This is a pretty strong and unfounded statement. Would we even have the relatively free and democratic societies we exist in now without

An increased resting heart rate can be caused by many things, and we have no false negative/positive rate for increased heart rate wrt this virus. Whilst the intention is good, this app will end up sending many more people to hospitals

You are misunderstanding my point - I'm saying that because the majority of cyclists are adults, who got into cycling after they turned 18, the majority of them have learned to drive (at least from my experience), not that the cyclists

> Most of them don't even hold a driving license This is absolutely not true in the UK, and probably not in most major cities. The overwhelming proportion of cyclists here are adults, and many have decided to take up cycling after a

Seconding this: PureData is very good - used it throughout my second and third years of university to create soundscapes and scores. A little DSP knowledge is required to get really good, but very rewarding once you get the hang of it. Desi

I think it could possibly ruin the 'big budget', glossy podcasts in the mould of Serial as they take more money to produce and I'd imagine they are more reliant on ad income. It may also be more accurate to suggest that Spoti

I want to second this. Decluttering is definitely a huge way to improve your life, and physically removing things from your home also helps to removes mental distractions. I made a conscious effort to really consider what I need before purc

"Social media" make it seems like some separate entity, it's still public sentiment. You have also bought into the framing the company has used to make itself seem like the victim by referring to "mobs" having power

Admirable - considering the size of IKEA as a business this can only be a good thing. Hopefully they reach carbon neutral sooner than 2030 before pushing on to carbon positive. My only concern is that planting trees isn't necessarily a

It could also be that they're worried about money laundering, or there's someone a little bit keen behind the scenes.

A badly written, rambling article that seems to provide no insight and declares Docker dead because k8s is the flavour of the month. I felt stupider the longer I read on.

We should feel guilty. Especially for any flights that are frivolous. We should also feel guilty for our excessive meat consumption, our excessive usage of cars, and for all forms of waste. And we should continue to feel guilty until we res

A definite step towards reducing wastage and focusing on improved functionality for products, instead of planned obsolescence and sealed units whose warranty is voided if you repair them.
