We should be striving for a society where the elderly are just as capable of cycling as they are of driving. With electric motors assisting the subset of people not able to do so while also not qualifying for a disabled mobility scooter sho

I'm tempted to say this is an attitude issue? Perhaps it's even an idea the car lobby wants to promote. There's nothing inherently bad about rainy, slushy or snowy weather. It's just water. Getting wet is not going to me

Aren't Gen Z and Boomers searching in a conversational style more and more, due to speech interfaces etc.? Both SEO folks and search engines seem to nowadays optimise for that kind of query. Stack Exchange is also question and answer -

I have an iMac pro as my main workstation in an open plan apartment/home office, and will often move it from my desk to the large kitchen table (to collaborate with someone when they're over). The extension cord I use is long enou

I reckon scam sites pretending to be reputable newspapers and mimicking their layout and contents to push investment scams via social media ads should qualify. And heck, any and all phishing sites, by definition. So millions of websites?

As a counterpoint I can think of dozens of personal acquaintances who are happily non-users and never interact with Facebook properties (retirees not into tech, busy executives, to cool for Facebook hipsters). If your country or social circ

We theoretically may have avoided, for the next few decades, the risk of a truly dangerous infectious disease being underestimated, something halfway between Covid and extinction-level threat.

But what about captchas? Due to aggressive no-script and uBlock use I, browsing the website as a human, keep getting hit by captchas and my success rate is falling to a coinflip. If there's a script to automate that I'm all ears.

Simimilar European background, and I would have interpreted this in the exact way you intended. I reckon it would have needed more literally benign slogans, or have the idea further developed.

Removing stop words is what old school users of IT systems do, because that's what we learned worked best at the time. Internet users who came online later, from GenZ to many boomers, will often just write conversational sentences and

CTs indeed sound a little overkill. Aren't cavities entirely avoidable? As long as you can afford a healthy diet and have water/toothpaste you won't develop any?

Actual data from OECD is available, so we don't have to rely on anecdotes. It is by far not "one of the weaker health care systems". https://www.oecd.org/health/health-systems/health-care-quali...

Telegram has more monthly active users than Twitter (400 million vs 360 million, according to Statista) Even going by metrics like cultural significance, there are large regional differences. It's a little unfair to call them smaller,

As a lifelong car-free European this almost reads like a parody, although I understand how you might get accustomed to a mindset like that. I neither want nor need to be a taxi driver for my kids. From the age of seven they have been perfec
