Seeing the tracking data report from mobile Safari was quite a thing to behold. There is quite a valuable service in LinkedIn, but quite annoying to use currently. Also had the experience on the mobile version where it just plain stopped re

It’s pretty obvious if you look at the guidelines. These posts are highly politicized, covered by other news sources extensively, and do not spark/sate intellectual curiosity.

I am not sure I get your argument; we wait until climate change has ruined somewhere, and then decide?

For me, this is is a similar argument to COVID + vaccines. For some people (not saying this is you at all) there is the argument of: why should I get the vaccine? I probably won't die, and they are correct. But the quality of life for

There are not. Modern Strapdown-based inertial estimators rely heavily on GNSS; if you want something that won’t become unusable after a few minutes then you need significantly better sensors. LORAN is an alternative terrestrial system, but

I can’t recall too many threads where I have left inspired rather than despondent, but maybe that is atypical. In general though, are these topical news-focused submissions in the spirit of the guidelines? They don’t satisfy too much intell

Hey this is pretty slick - I think the videos keep playing after you have scrolled past them? Would be good if they paused. Also a skip/scroll bar would be very useful
