The problem is smaller and that is bad? That’s getting pretty close to the definition of better.

>What does this mean? This feels a bit like a distinction without a difference, as the infrastructure built is shared by both. I guess I wasn't clear in implying my doubts as to whether that's a hard requirement. Trucks are muc

I wouldn't be surprised if it contributed significantly because of the lack of (access to) third places [0] it breeds, but that is conjecture on my part, so fair enough. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_plac

You might think so, but a flat number comparison doesn't do justice to the vast differences in urban planning. Check out this video, it describes Dutch urban planning pretty well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8RRE2r

Sure, industrial scale transport and personal transport share a rolling platform with an engine, but they're different platforms with different requirements, different economics and different lifecycles. However, you're making my

Since the love and hate for cars is often discussed under analogies about them on HN, I thought I’d fan the flames of discourse. Check out the Not Just Bikes channel for great content on urban planning.

Respectfully, without judgement, your perspective may be wildly skewed because you’re American (going by your post history). I suspect the negative externalities in a society built around cars don’t register with you because to you it is th

You’re equivocating, your parent specifically named an example of toxic individualism, they did not say or imply that individualism is toxic.

The idea seems cool so I’ll keep an eye on it, but as a paranoid sysadmin I’ll wait for the flags to turn green.

> Without trees, birds just have telephone poles and wires, which are also over the cars. In the US, maybe? Here in Western Europe the vast majority of this type of infrastructure is underground.

It’s close enough. Computers mostly make heat with some math as a distant second.

And conversely if it is, then there is no point to getting in early since the whole point is to externalize knowledge and experience

In your analogy that calculator would only produce a correct answer 80% of the time, and plausible looking but incorrect ones the other 20%. If that were the case I’d hire pen guy.

A 180 would imply a different direction than the original. I’d say they did a fakie 360 faceplant.

Why would you expect Homo Economicus to ask for more work? The companies they work for chase infinite profit at zero cost as a matter of principle, why shouldn’t employees? This holds whether their butt is in a seat in some office or at hom

I see this comment often and I usually pipe up to say that if you don’t have a US ANSI keyboard it can feel unintuitive. You can remap the hotkey to Option + Tab in those cases, easier to get used to.

Funny how the unintentional close calls become more sparse with time. I wonder if that’s because humanity got better at dealing with the responsibility or because the oopsies haven’t been declassified yet.
