I didn't see any until I made my front yard a designated butterfly spot ( making i don't have to follow by laws about lawn maintenance) now I see tons.
I live in a town with a university with a big urban planning program. You can definitely see the effects. While there are some quirks (more roundabouts on one street than most cities have total) it also has amazing biking infrastructure for north America and lately has been closing street to cars in the downtown core. It is very refreshing and a big part of why i live where I do. I just wish every city could get these planners is all, i hope that in a decade or so the urban planners here will move on to other cities and have the seniority to spread the good ideas.
Our whole universe was in a hot, dense state
Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started, wait
The earth began to cool, the autotrophs began to drool
Neanderthals developed tools
We built a wall (we built the pyramids)
user A uses their full bandwidth from 2am-4am when the network is empty then watches a 720p video at 5pm (or whenever the networks peak is).
User B watches an 8k video at 5pm and nothing at any other time.
UserB clearly contributes to congestion on the network more than user A despite user A using more data. Furthermore throttling user A does less to resolve the congestion than throttling user B.
IMO If the network needs to throttle then the people the most data at that instant in time need to be throttled and the network needs to start upgrading its infrastructure or amending its marketing materials.
Really the current internet model is a little weird, it should be pay to use with on and off peak hours the same as other utilities, and throttling should be seen as a major failure that needs immediate attention.
Outer wilds felt really good to play, optimistic nihilism and a happy lonliness. One moment that really stood out to me was when I followed a certain object out of the solar system, spent pretty much 20minutes drifting in space listening to the other astronauts play together planets apart and watching the stars
It's one of the most peaceful times I've had with a game, and playing it in the middle of covid I cried happy tears. Go in as blind as you can.
I quite like influencer I think it's good that they are called what they are being paid to do and not trying to hide. It's surprising honestly from a very dishonest industry.
It's pretty hard to be open and transparent when 2 men with guns and black suits are sitting at your kitchen table.
We don't know if that happened, but given the speed this happened and the us being the us...
If it breaks that they had a long runway of knowing this had to happen, then sure bring out the pitchforks, but imo we should default to this happening under heavy pressure to act immediately.
For the curious you'd make 970million in the 532years. Jeff bozos net worth is about 200 billion. You'd need an annual interest rate of about 2.12% to reach 200billion over that period, assuming you spend none of it, if you took an annual income of 20k then you'd only be at 135billion at the end of the period.
I checked their site, you can't buy parking using just the website, even a monthly one. But you sure can pay your parking tickets! (although even that requires a credit card it seems)
This article is very repetitive, but they never mention what the activists allegedly tried to do. Without that information or any charges laid it's pretty much useless information.
Im no fan of generative ai, but this argument drives me crazy, there are a lot of things that are easy to verify but hard to come up with, quite famously in fact.
Where I live it's illegal to have them expire. They can:
Provide a spending limit for a vice
frees the user of the need to spend it responsibly
a safer way to spend money online and an alternative to a credit card.
I don't mind getting a steam gift card or an lcbo (liquor store) card, I know what liquor and games I like more than the people gifting. An Amazon gift card is much more annoying because it's an everything store, it's money that has to be used unethically. A costco giftcard is a nice hack to allow you to shop at the store without a membership, I used them like that until I reached a point where the membership paid for itself. I think they have a place, I also think they are often abused and should be regulated more than they currently are where I live. If they have an expiry they are a scam.
It basically comes down to trials being far more expensive , the required solitary confinement being more expensive, more appeals. Lawyers cost much more than prison meals.
In a forum system that sorts by last comment that can be annoying. Which is why most systems seem to have moved away from that, it was one of the big innovations of reddit back when it started. But in a format where it doesn't get more visibility for getting comments I don't see why it's a bad thing, just stop reading when you deem the topic done.
During thr brief window between reddit apps dying and the old archive rule being revoked getting comments on old tech support posts with follow ups and/or additional questions was pretty great, and definitely worth the occasional whitenoise posts ("thanks!" " seeing the same problem in 2024" "I clearly didn't read the whole thread and am asking something already answered" etc etc).
