Completely agree. Everything you see in that video was carefully choreographed and purposefully put into view for a reason. With the marketing resources Apple has, I don't think it's too conspiratorial to think that they put the i

The Paris Agreement is useful in creating goals for emission targets so countries can work towards them. Sure, the goal posts can and will change, but they'll always be pointed downfield. If the US creates an alternative to the Paris A

Politics is always going to have an element of self-interest. As bad as the agreement is, can't we agree that doing something is better than doing nothing? We can change an existing accord to make it better in a few years, but you ca

And how is it not worth it? You said it yourself. It was non-biding, no enforcement, goals where self imposed and the US government still didn't want to take part. What kind of message is that sending?

I just tested some bike routes for my city. I agree, well done. ;) Being able to export to gpx is also very cool. I feel like "best" biking routes are very subjective, so I'm sure you can't cater everyone, perfectly. A c

Why don't publishers create a system where I can "load" my account with 20 articles for $10? I strongly dislike subscribing to things I don't feel like I can commit to. Especially, with the way companies make it a hassle

To be fair, I haven't used Electron. At some point, I did try using Essential Object's EO.WebBrowser component for .NET which used similar amounts of RAM. People complained about the RAM usage, not performance.
