Everyone wants heavy industry outcomes, no one wants heavy industry side-effects;

Do people want oil refineries that constantly catch fire or explode [1], or toxic superfund sites for fabs [2]?

There are opportunities to build safer systems of course, the capital is there but there's places with looser regulations where you can harm people for cheap.

Also, this website does not actually show what laws or reasons why things are banned, it just says it's impossible, no sources, how do I even know this is true?

I always bemoan the extra stops when I'm on the bus but I love always being near a bus stop; I do think the limited/skip stop bus idea is good though, as long as theres ones that alternate, though I do also like frequency, so hopefully service remains the same. I think though, more frequency beats speed though

As always, it's a careful balance. And specific to every bus route/stop combination, not to mention it can change over time. Routes should always be evaluated based on ridership data, where people are getting on & off, how long each stop actually delays the overall journey, and more.

I think you left a <br /> on the home CTA rendered as text

Honestly this looks nicer than the previous image, it feels more real

An interesting problem with self-reported temperature is that people just put their outdoor sensors inside for some reason or near an ambient heat source; also in neighborhoods with tall buildings, it's a bit colder higher up, so the balcony readers are a bit off from sidewalk temperature, it is interesting to see though that one block from another is super different in temp, is it because it's actually different or is there something heating/cooling the sensor off randomly

Yeah it’s not accurate at all. Not the OPs fault but the purpleair sensors are placed by users. Right now it says fidi is 9° warmer than haight. Plausible, but it could also be the only 1 sensor reporting from fidi is on a balcony near a drier vent.

More than plausible, for 8am on a January morning!

I used to ride a motorcycle every day from the Haight (home) to the Financial District (work), and the temperature grade changes were palpable.

Your point is also completely correct, of course. :)

Interesting insight, I personally am not a fan of medieval builders for that many kinda seem like reskinned modern builders, though to be fair modern city builders are also historically inaccurate, you can basically do anything without political ramification, no nimbys, hoas, ceqa…

When there is nothing to lose but your chains … as the saying goes

That works both ways. Human chains are all that justifies your existence, having abandoned being a hunter gatherer.

Most of our chains are in our heads, we just don't see them.

Sometimes I submit to hn if it’s tech related :) https://shub.club/

Oh! I’ve seen this phishing attempt as well, I believe it was was Gemini they said they would add an “lgbt” banner unless you changed settings.

Unfortunately this is the end state for many gig for hire apps, uber, tasktabbit etc, I think food delivery is probably the worst because the customer does not interact with the contractor at all, compared to other apps, so you can’t even hear if the driver is getting ripped off on their end.

The tip stealing thing felt very similar to one thing I noticed last night during NYE was certain friends who used uber more had to pay higher for the same rides as me who never uses the app. There’s so much data singling both drivers and consumers out to maximize returns, it’s crazy

Uber charges more when you use gift cards. All of these companies are scum and need a heavy regulatory slap down.

> certain friends who used uber more had to pay higher for the same rides

That's why you always pit the techbros against each other and have at least 2 competing apps that you distribute your rides across.

Why was this downvoted? Seems like the best approach if you have to use the apps a lot?

I bet some people got offended by the techbro moniker, but it seems pretty warranted considering the underhanded tactics of these companies and their employees.
