25km/h is the regulatory max speed of e-bikes around here and you averaged that. Most people would take years of training to get to the point of being able to exercise like this.

I just glanced, they still want about 500 bucks for the 13" screen and half of that for the board to drive it. While I have no clue what making the screen at a low scale might cost, the board cannot possibly be five times more expensiv

Not private-jet wealthy, but solid upper middle class here. I regularly take a trip across Europe that is a 1h 50m flight. It is about 18h by train, with three transfers, four different operators. If I can't afford flying, I'll dr

Mozilla claims over 700 of their 750 employees work on Firefox. It's a bit harder to find out the number of people working on Chrome. The founding director remarks that there were 40 engineers working on Chrome mobile in https:/&

9 years ago. Got hired as a software engineer with a mission to engineer reliability into the systems. The definition of SRE.

Just looking through the apps I currently have open… Bank app, chat app, maps, Tile, YouTube and a weather app. Only one of them is actually doing anything that wouldn’t fit a PWA. So why are they apps, not a collection of links?
