Not a real problem, as proven by many countries where cycling is encouraged and supported

I semi regularly see big cop SUVs parked here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/MydRmrTkiJMxt3Pi7?g_st=ac

On the bike lane, which is physically separated from the road.

The cop car takes the whole width of the lanes.

It also means the cop had to get on the bike lane here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/frGXL1NpcCW18iRN9?g_st=ac and then drive for a couple of blocks _on the physically separated bike lane_.

You should actually try saying something instead of vaguely insinuating something.

Like, I legitimately am trying to understand what you're saying but it's frustratingly vague. I feel like you're wasting my time with your attempt to seem like you know more than everyone else.

There is a market for custom and rare risk insurance - it's called "surplus lines"

The Americans will keep voting like they have been. Trump's only a symptom

> I’m not convinced. My small anecdata of Iranian friends with contacts in Iran agrees with me.

I am having a very hard time believing anyone would be favourable to the country currently lobbing bombs at them from halfway around the globe. Regardless of how much they dislike their current regime.

Maybe this fuels some "everyone loves America, the good guys" fantasy, but, as someone who's come from a country where the people did not like the regime, I am very skeptical foreign interference will be seen positively or even neutrally.

Or maybe this is an attempt at making the war seem somehow just and led on humanitarian and democratic principles, as opposed to what it actually is.

Also, a classic tweet from the Cloudflare CEO re their fight with Italians authorities re censorship:

Everyone looks bad in this conflict.

I think one blind spot for this type of article is the risk of taking hagiographies at their word.

"Tantrum" is a choice word.

Accountability sinks are good value and wealthy people always make sure they have enough of them

I'm now painfully aware of how uncomfortable the edge of my mac is.

Laptops are used in so many more situations than just sitting at a desk.

Literally "you're holding it wrong".

I suspect OP never actually ran these commands and this article was brainstormed and written by an LLM.

No, all US equities are up after the Iran ceasefire news.

You need to look at Deere stock after taking out the beta to the market.

Can someone explain to me why the debt thing is an issue?

The US can inflate it away over time, with the main cost being the US standard of living staying flat or going down (which is annoying but very much tolerable given current American living standards). Moreover, paying for the debt by inflating it is a lot more politically palatable, as people don't usually think in inflation adjusted terms. Plus, you can take measures to fudge the official inflation numbers anyway.

Now compare this with climate issues, where no amount of financial engineering or political cost is going to fix environmental damage.

Cheap labour producing goods for the native population at low costs should increase your standard of living, no? It makes the products you buy cheaper.

By your logic, if you were the only person in the country, you'd live like a king.

I think they're confused/disingenuous and talking about the _marginal_ tax rate at 100k.

There's a segment of a few thousand pounds where your marginal tax rate skyrockets because you lose your tax free allowance at that income level.

It's stupid, annoying and has some minor economic effects, but it's very different from a 71% income tax rate.

I'll know it when I see it

xAI's value is irrelevant here. This is about Elon throwing his weight around and rigging the game to create an artificial squeeze so him and his early investors can make bank by transferring wealth from everyone's retirement fund.

The company is irrelevant. The focus should be on the money making scheme

Your punishment is that you will now have to follow the rules

FYI, regardless of election outcome, the next government is highly unlikely to roll this back

> You can mandate trees, but then you'll get less parking.

This implies we want to maximise car parking spaces in a city, when, I think, you'd want to maximise enjoyment of the city.

Your views are getting more unhinged by the day fyi.

You used to have interesting, if tediously contrarian things to say. But now it's just strawmans and weird takes like the above.

I know it's par for the course, but I'm constantly surprised to see how editorialised official communications from the US government are.

This "article" just rehashes the top submissions from the reddit thread and then adds some surface level musings about UX.

It also blasts you with a full screen subscribe popup, ostensibly in case you want to see more rehashed content.

Why not use SHAP?

Fyi, large states in the US routinely have rolling blackouts and brownouts.

Texas, California (the richest state lmao), Puerto Rico, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi etc

Yes, the American cultural preference for guns is well established. The GP's point was that in most of the world guns are more restricted and people are doing just fine.

Fyi, insults are illegal in the US, under certain conditions, under the fighting words doctrine.

No, an insult implies insolence, rudeness, condescension, insensitivity. You can communicate a dim view of someone without being rude.
