>In LiftKit, everything derives from the golden ratio, I don't think the authors realise the extent to which their product, which looks well made and useful, is being completely undermined with this nonsensical pseudoscience.

Yeah, I imagine. I'm inner city.

Also we don't get snow.

They don't do either of those things, and yet somehow I haven't witnessed any cars sliding off the road in winter either.

These are both fair points (generally, the consumer market is pretty dysfunctional and not behaving at all like economists would like it to), but the comment I was replying to ("It ought to be illegal to buy ads against trademarks&quot

Apparently I just live in a place where it's not a common problem. Also I do tend to leave a big gap behind cars in front.

That doesn't work on the TV. It also apparently requires using a specific browser (Kiwi) to work on mobile. But thanks, still useful on desktop.

Yes, I worked it out - just a suggestion for making the article better.

I used Kagi for a year or two then switched to DDG. It's fine. I do not miss Google at all.

I refuse to pay for ad free YouTube + otherwise I'd watch even more of it. The annoyingness of ads is a pretty important brake.

I don't agree. If I search for "leatherman" it seems totally reasonable to give competitors a chance. I generally think brand recognition is too powerful. If there is another high quality multitool on the market for a better

I was in Kyrgyzstan last year and saw some distant mountains that I was able to work out were in Kazakhstan, over 100km away. Even that felt pretty amazing at the time. 500km? Whee...

Also spell out what "line of sight" means in this context.

I think Lyft already does this for their driver navigation.

Me too, that's a great idea. Or just incorporated into the satnav, better than getting the warning for an upcoming speed camera.

by stevage 8mo ago
Wow, I didn't know that was a thing. Been driving nearly 30 years, and never had a windshield chip.

That does not match my understanding of fair use at all.

I mentioned the layover in LAX. Also including an hour or two before takeoff.

Yeah, the ability of chess engines to play like a human of a given rating is a pretty recent development. And it's still a constant complaint that Stockfish suggests moves that no human could really play and follow up correctly.

I remember being a high paid techie getting 19 hours of paid work done between Melbourne and New York, on a laptop in economy (and a long layover in LAX due to a storm). It was fricking glorious, most productive day of my life.

I guess everything is relative and I'm well informed on everything but no, "first new car company in America in a long time" doesn't leap out as a wildly difficult challenge in a time of great innovation. It was followed

Boy that "st" ligature in the subheading font is eye-catching, to the point of distraction.

I will definitely credit Elon with building a company that made reusable self-landing rockets seem routine and boring. That was definitely "impossible". Pretty much everything else though is just vapourware.

(creator here) Yeah, there's a lot of interesting administrative quirks like that throughout the database. And there are kind of interesting details about exactly which types of trees are catalogued. Generally the data I've been f

Falling Fruit actually uses some code derived from OpenTrees, although massively improved.

Oh, hi! I was just trying to figure out why there was suddenly a bunch of data source suggestions. Is it "dead"? Hmm. It's complicated. It's true the data hasn't been updated in a long time. The biggest issue is tha

I actually really appreciate the honesty of this. Much better than undue confidence.

Wait, you're saying that using Signal or Telegram is compromising privacy? I'm really curious what you're hoping for?

There are lot of holes in your argument: - civilisation is currently more at risk from overpopulation than depopulation - just because children need to exist doesn't imply they need to exist in apartment buildings - just because childr
