Wouldn't it be "good, convenient, cheap - pick two" (at most)? There can be good food near transportation hubs, but it will be more costly. It is difficult to filter out price as a factor in reviews because people can value t

The Paxlovid dosing guidelines probably need to be changed, but given the current climate and cost it's unlikely to ever happen. Similarly, the initial two-shot vaccine guidelines probably needed more time in between the doses for more

Unless they're corrupt and are only using their position to enrich themselves. What good is the institution if you can't make any money from it, especially when they see the other two branches doing the same?

Are CS majors still impacted? I would have thought the continuing multi-year industry layoffs, the scapegoating of "Big Tech", and the AI hype/doom train would have reduced its popularity.

It seems very similar to how large, complacent businesses slash R&D, training, and employee compensation; then are surprised when they are left behind by their competitors.

Yup, Apple still makes a new iPad mini every 3-4 years, despite it being clearly worse on paper than the mainline iPad. But the last version was mostly a spec bump.

The C1 modem is also not a feature that users care about, other than the increased battery life (that Apple does advertise). In fact, there will be concerns that the modem isn't as good as the existing ones in some edge case. Putting t

I thought this was from the same company that makes the Citizen app, but apparently they scrapped their idea of "police-as-a-service". https://www.cbsnews.com/news/citizen-app-peter-thiel-palanti...

It's a $700 device with a $24/month subscription fee, and will be bricked in ten days. At least the equally-panned Rabbit R1, released around the same timeframe and riding the same AI hype, only cost $200 with no subscription.

Also if you plan on owning a car for a long time, you start thinking more about maintenance and repair. Imported car parts are harder to get than domestic.

This thread about who "owns the streets/parking". The sidewalk thread is another one.

Of course not. People think they own the entire neighborhood, and should be able to block any development that affects them, including businesses moving in or those poor people who live in apartments/condos taking up their parking spac

One of the more insidious ways to ensure street parking is by permitting - only residents can park in a neighborhood. Public costs, private benefits.

This is one of those "facts" that will be repeated ad infinitum since it's now part of AI. I just asked Copilot and it gave me the 500 million figure, citing two news articles from 2020 and 2025, both of which are after this

My grandparents lived within walking distance to grocery stores, supermarkets, friends, and restaurants; they continued to walk to those places well within their 80s. It kept them mobile, healthy, and part of the community; probably more so

It also helps sway low-information voters, who either: - never hear about the rollback, and thus think the problem has been fixed - believe that the rollback is caused by "enemies" instead of incompetence, thus focusing on perceiv

A lot of pilots seem to retire into commercial aviation after their military careers. They already have all the training and flight hours. After 20 years and a pension they're keen to keep on flying, but not as high-speed.

Sending a message should just default to MMS, which I agree is lower quality especially for videos, but shouldn't get an error. I'm in multiple group chats with Android users and it's fine other than videos, which are from 20

I did this too with IKEA bulbs and their remote control that you can directly pair to multiple bulbs. It works out great, and I don't have to deal with another phone app or buy a hub in my house to manage.

What's the population of all these US counties? I have to ask because a county (just like a US state) is an imperfect organizational unit, so there are counties with 500 people and counties with 2 million people. You're not going
