Dunno - we're very good at filling in the gaps I remember when playing the original PS3 my brain was imaging vibrations in the controller when the screen rumbled (back when the original controllers had no haptic feedback) Obviously it

You don't know anything about the parent's process so your assumptions are pretty wild The parent's anecdotal experience is still a valuable datapoint in the face of two baseless stereotypes: 1. Chinese educated people lack f

I vaguely agree with you and to add to your point: I think the dynamics of selection are a bit different for Spotify vs Netflix, i.e. my personal assumption is that customers are more elastic to selection for music than tv. You can consume

I feel your tone is drawing downvotes which is really frustrating because I think the discussion it is drawing is worthwhile (imho) Can you work on adopting a less flame war-y tone?

Right so 300kmph = 83.3 m/s which means every 83.3 metres (call it 100) buys you an additional second of thinking time and back of the envelope calculation (2km/minute) [0] suggests you can move up to 33 metres per second horizont

Are you sure we live in the same city? The Central line during summer is so hot it wouldn't be legal to transport cattle on it. The Northern line regularly has packed platforms going north in the morning. The Metropolitan has been unde

This is a tough one - the service fees are real, iirc I know of some people who have to pay £700 a month to the development which is more than enough to rent a small place outside of London. So I can see an argument for segregation even i
