i feel like in this case it's more like: Q: i want to buy a car. A: just get one. compact car, ferrari, station wagon, truck mixer, F1 car, oldtimer, golf cart, doesn't matter! all of those will get you to your destination eventua

on the other hand, road maintenance is also quite expensive, which wouldn't be an issue if there were no - or at least far fewer - cars. parking spots are lost to all usage except for parking; it costs me 100€ per year. on the other ha

sorry, but it seems you're an extreme outlier. disabled but not in a way the government recognizes, unable to use public transport (or e-/bikes) but able to operate cars. the problem here is that you don't seem to fall into a

i'm not sure if i remember this correctly, but i think i read somewhere that the cost breakdown is roughly 10-fold per lot: * an above ground parking garage is ten times more expensive than surface parking * subterrain parking is ten t

well ... it would be interesting, but i fear that an AI robot vs. human swordfighting style would probably be really boring (given that it'd be possible to make a robot with human attributes, i.e. strength, sensory input, etc.). my gue

all signs point to far higher infectiousness, which means more infected. if the rate of hospitalizations per infection stay the same, absolute hospitalizations will rise according to the total infection numbers plus a higher rate of vaccina

this irks me greatly, i only read the first few paragraphs don't agree with it much. some random observations from an austrian: * it's known for quite some time that the vaccine doesn't reduce the infection numbers that much

yes, that's what i meant. those issues are concerns everywhere and not "feel good laws". the differences is in how much weight you give them; do you value lost parking spots / parking spot meter income more than this? ho
345.
by stefs 5y ago
"feel good laws", like fire codes and lost parking spots / parking spot revenue and accessibility? sounds less like "progressive feel good laws" and more like bike shedding.

not OP, but i think it makes sense. there isn't that much of a speed difference and you get free sandboxing, some memory safety, a ton of supported languages and more. i don't know anything about WASI, but it probably solves the p

ok sorry, in that case i misinterpreted you. i thought you meant you were able to keep up 30km/h averages "cruising" point-to-point through london, which, imo, would be a challenging feat for alleycat racers.

by stefs 5y ago
yes, on a mostly flat course i'd be able to keep it up too. maybe i misinterpreted it a bit, but i pictured original commenter cruising at 30+km/h _in london_ (city proper) on a city- or trekking bike. during the summer my ftp was

> Whereas with my regular bike, I typically cruise at 30-35kmh. sorry, but i find that a bit hard to believe. i'm very fit and going 30-35km/h on my bike for distances any longer than sprints is quite hard.

yes, i meant combining an IGH with a rear derailer (instead of a front derailer). afaik there's only one supplier of those currently (and the system is a bit half-baked, i.e. no DI2 compatibility for reusing the existing shifters).

that combination system i've been talking about is for proper road bikes. > And of course on a proper road bike you'll still want a double chainring. why? the IGH replaces the front double chainring. weight and price might be a

by stefs 5y ago
one of the more recent developments is combining a rear derailleur with a internal gear hub (both electronically and wirelessly shifted) and a single front chainring. some upsides, some downsides, but definitely something to watch.
