I got in on this deal too, nominated 3 destinations in New Zealand and got free flights to Christchurch. That said a number of people missed out due to the confusing processing and a page where it requested ID (drivers license or passport)

Looking around me it seems to be stand in the street, hold a sign, block traffic and mess up everyone’s day... Or we could continue to be agile and innovate like humanity and technology has always done.

These sensationalist “Climate Emergency” articles and protests actually undermine the core arguments for climate change action. It’s obvious no matter how much political will we will be unable to make a 45% cut in 18 months. In the end thes

He says 35k km over 3 years so nearly 12,000km per year. He claims gas is $360 per year. That would get you about 5,000km in a small car like he describes. He’s obviously understated the gas cost, probably by leaving out the larger than nor

So you spent $2500 per year on having a car. How much would those 6x 600km trips cost you? Then add in the beach trips, each of those is going to cost a fortune with Uber or over $100 if you hire a car. 12,000km per year in Uber’s or hire c

I’ve ridden on the Changsha Maglev, China’s first indigenous maglev and I was thoroughly unimpressed. The ride was rough and quite slow, nothing like their High Speed Rail which is world leading. I’m surprised they’d be able to develop worl

Cool concept. I especially like the fact it uses the real unsubscribe link rather than just filtering/deleting like unroll.me did. I revoked unroll.me’s access shortly after installing because it didn’t do this. Only later did I disco

It’s scary to think how complicit the FAA was in granting Boeing’s wish that this 30 year newer plane with substantially larger engines only required 2-3 hours of new training and said training was able to miss covering entire systems like

I find it amazing that they visited the factory multiple times and didn't notice this. They never spoke to anyone/took a meeting with the owner who hadn't been paid? They never noticed anything unusual in the way they were tr

Sends a message to the US that their companies can be blocked/disrupted just like the US is doing to Huawei. Actually a bonus to not have to be directly linked to a Chinese company that the US can complain about.
