As an end user, the UX was always goofy. If the devs made a lot of effort, it could look like a bad impression of a native app, but never exactly right. As soon as you'd hit an error state or edge case, you'd see some weird ass Ja

At the place where this worked well, we released small changes throughout the day. We released the monolith around 50 times per day. Developers release their own changes in small groups. We deployed the main branch, and only used short-live

For some reason, the law requires the latch to be removed if the car is in a movie ;)

Also in the "too late" vein, at least in the US, I believe cars are still required to have a latch to open the trunk from the inside. Not sure if other countries have these.

To be fair, there are legitimate things to consider like accessibility and fire safety that were waived temporarily. The whole thing that makes fixing this hard is that there are good reasons some of these rules exist.

It sounds like the charging infrastructure isn't there yet where you live. Doesn't mean the cars are useless for many many people, including people in rural areas. In the US, I don't think most rural people are 40 miles from

They're not great for long roadtrips, but they would be fine for weekend or short trips to places with charging. For example, from where I live to the coast is about 80 miles, and many of the coastal cities have at least L2 and some L3

In addition to what others have said, I think the fact that people can make a living from very very niche content is novel. Arguably, it works so differently that it could be considered a new sector. > By "lauding celebrities",

What definition of "real job" are you using? By that definition, any kind of performer (music, sports, etc) is not a "real job". Hell, starting most businesses including startups would not be a "real job," sinc

US infrastructure spending is heavily cost-constrained though. Your argument would hold up if we were building loads of new infrastructure at enormous cost, but instead we are not building enough because the costs are too high.

I agree we should approach this with skepticism. By their nature, a lot of these things are hard to verify independently, and the incentives are for the military to exaggerate them. This article doesn't seem to even attempt to independ

From what I've read, infrastructure for SFH is much more expensive to build and maintain, because each mile serves so many fewer people, and because the land is basically under-utilized, so the city collects less property tax from it.

I think for many people, Zipcar or other car shares would cover their mountain needs. But for those who need one all the time, they can buy or rent a parking spot if street parking doesn't work for them.
