Definitely this one https://www.amazon.com/Grid-systems-graphic-design-communica... but also any other great book about design and architecture. Design have two aspects, the doing (drawing, documenting, adjusting) and the t

Of course but that’s a too general statement. What developers IMO fail to get is that CSS is so different because it’s a language to express design and they don’t understand the basics of design. Almost all programming languages are about l

The thing that crypto correlated the most with so far has been tech stocks, the most exposed ones. So I don't think crypto will hold much longer than those and will crash earlier than the rest if your scenario was to be true. Also, if

Interesting, so you are saying that Brazil can't make anything against inequality while other succeed better? I've heard first hand from a business leader working decades with Brazil that they actively keep the poor people uneduca

How many tabs do you have open? I am often surprised at such statements, because my browser have basically never been slow the last 20 years. Like, never. Sometimes they crash / hang. But then I view on screen sharing colleagues who ha

LOL have you spoken with farmers lately about their crops? If not I encourage you to ask them about the last 5 - 10 years...

If you are consistent then, your solution should be to move to another transportation, or to help policy transition. Because bikes, trains and bus are undiscutably better.

I disagree, many people love weird inconvenient things. Most of the west can live comfortably but most decide to overwork themselves for status. Even the billionaires need even more. OTOH, people have a hard time thinking abstractly, so new

Even if that's 10x, that's easy to counter. $50M can be invested by almost anyone. There are thousands of entities (incl. governments, even regional ones) who could easily bring such capital.

Many rich people (French and not French) own nice French castles. Some very expensively renovated. But they are often not interested in medieval castles. In the kind of projects documented here, the journey is the goal. I'm not even su

You are not misguided. Physiology is mostly intangible but consistent. Many of the comments here willingly ignore that “yes but my use case is different and my users are patient”. Their brain will still disconnect quickly and be frustrated.

For many it helps cover the gigantic rent hikes. Many workers need public transportation to commute because they can’t afford a car, which keep becoming more expensive because cheap cars don’t make profits. It was not rare before for public

Funny, I was basically mobile with bike from age 10 or so. Had some friends I needed the parents for until I got a small motorcycle aged 14. So living outside a city is not an issue, although I often wished we’d be nearer to a city. But soc

By that thinking, looking at the data, you should prevent kids from seeing their family… Understand the nonsense? But nonsense gets often commonsensical when everyone in your circle believes it. Going outside has more benefits than risks. L

> No one has a problem with science itself per se. Everyone accepts the scientific method to be one of our greatest cultural achievements This is just wrong and naive. You can be happy if a majority of people agree to this.

There are other EPR projects abroad and most did overshoot costs by more than 5 to $10B and having a decade delay. Meanwhile renewable and storage keep getting cheaper and better at massive speed. Even France adds much more renewable than n

Your comment is a bit of all or nothing and limits thinking. What about architects? They provide joy and housing, but also use natural land and benefit often investors. So, mixed. Car manufacturers? Move people from A to B at big cost for t
