Yeah anyone who thinks that Vancouver bike infrastructure is bad is delusional - it's not perfect but no city is (especially in north America) and you can get basically anywhere in the city on a safe side street

I'd consider this off topic by hacker news guidelines https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html But because I can't resist, basically all of the most elite Americans have gone through Harvard or Yale at som

Slightly tangential but I read this article recently on how deregulation and Reagan "created your childhood" - pretty interesting stuff. https://www.everything80spodcast.com/deregulation-and-advert...

"Apple has also promised that by 2023, its supply chain and product usage will become entirely carbon neutral." What does this mean exactly? It seems absurd to think that everything that apple does is in any way carbon neutral or

Obviously I don't agree with the guy but I do think Russia invading Ukraine has woken up the west a bit in terms of human nature. Those in the chattering classes in the us tend to think (in my experience at least) that we can mold huma

If you look at cars from their inception until about the 80s, most cars, even lower end models were aesthetically very pleasing. That's not true of most cars today. The ones you've cited are all luxury sedans and are rare to see o

I totally agree with the point about all new cars looking completely ridiculous. I have never understood why there isn't a low cost automaker that has only the bare minimum - the style barely ever changes and looks decent, manual every

Realize that so much climate change coverage (and coverage of most topics) is designed to instill as much fear as possible in you so that you click the link/watch the video/etc. If climate change coverage were honest (we'll s

Is this necessary? The guy is trying to feed his family, not add another zero to his bank account. Would you want people to tell you the same thing if there was an economic collapse where you live? I hope people would extend the same courte

I don't know where you live but it's astonishing to see how quickly people in the west criticize those fleeing war or economic collapse for minor comments or actions - do you think you would always say the right thing if you were

I'd recommend reading the classics - Plato, Shakespeare, Dostoyevsky, Homer, etc. Reading enough classics will challenge your mind in many ways and give you broad historical and cultural understanding that will help you improve your th

The articles I've seen about this say it's a significant move, but what exactly will it mean for Russia and its economy? Will it also impose costs on western economies? What exactly are those?

In my experience, the more the word "community" is used the less of an actual community exists. I grew up in a fairly religious household and the religious community I was a part of growing up was the most tight knit group I have

Why would you have empathy for them? They have fought the vaccines for close to a year now and if they haven't gotten it they probably have a pretty good reason. Shouldn't the vaccine protect vaxxed people from everyone?? I seriou
