It used to be bigger in Sweden, but there are still workers parades every year on 1 May.

I bike! Both to work, general transportation (for example grocery shopping) and just for fun.

He’s always lied about the self-driving capabilities of the cars and promised timelines that have never held. Print this statement out and use it as toilet paper

I believe there was a 100% tariff in place pre-Trump meltdown on Chinese EVs in the U.S, making them less viable in that market. The EU also tariffs them heavily, which is quite a pity.

It’s very easy in Sweden - there are plenty of e-commerce alternatives present, and you can use a comparison website to find the best price for any given item.

For various cycling gadgets and other cheap stuff, I’ve started ordering on AliExpress, with a pretty decent success rate so far.

Heavy on the sauce

I wish I could have some installed, but alas, I live in an apartment building on a high floor, and I don’t get to make the call.

First line of defense: blocking out sunlight in all windows during the day

Second line of defense: highly active drafting, creating a cross-breeze when the outdoor temperature is lower than the indoor temperature

Third line of defense: Fan, reduces perceived temperature significantly

Fourth line of defense: Acclimatization, warm showers before bed (supposedly helps)

Fifth line of defense, in case everything else fails - basically a heatwave: portable AC

Cellulose is generally recyclable but as I understand it degrades through each cycle, until it’s basically unfit for recycling and is more efficient to burn for energy.

By the power of podcasts, I have become equipped to handle the Sisyphean daily tasks. I used to dread them, now I don’t mind them at all.

A few not yet mentioned:

• Well There’s Your Problem - a podcast about engineering disasters
• Hard Fork - a weekly tech news show, with banter similar to what you could find on Reply All before that was ended
• The War on Cars - an urbanism-podcast
• The Urbanist Agenda - another urbanism-podcast, by the creator behind Not Just Bikes
• The Climate Denier’s Playbook - a climate-podcast
• Hyperfixed - by one of the hosts of Reply All

And a vote for previously mentioned podcasts:

• 99% Invisible - a podcast about design, arguably my favourite
• Darknet Diaries - a podcast about cybersecurity

Well, it’s obviously not going to be the iPad that wins in that case

Depends on what kind of generation of MacBook that is. Intel-series? I’m leaning ThinkPad. M-series? It’s gonna have to be the MacBook.

Without actually knowing how much constructing the physical buttons cost, I would guess that the real savings are in process optimization - if all you have for the interface is a screen, then you don’t need to have the interface design done before constructing the car - you can parallelize these tasks.

Insufficient as far as justifications go, but understandably lucrative.

3.2 is like less than 10 minutes on a bike, which can easily carry more than a week’s worth of groceries with the right type of equipment.

Anything Turing-complete is a powerful tool, but the reason people are reacting negatively is because of how much of the wrong tool it is.

• Does an excel-based solution offer adequate runtime performance? No
• Does an excel-based solution offer adequate write concurrency? No
• Does an excel-based solution offer appropriate data durability guarantees? No

Basically the only saving grace of Excel-based solutions is that they are built in tools that finance workers comprehend, and that is quite simply not enough. To base systems at this scale on Excel is criminally negligent.

Right, right. It’s been long enough since I played guitar that I forgot that it’s actually the fingers on the non-strumming hand that takes the major punishment, not the strumming one.

Ah yeah, that’s where the complete ignorance came into play

Coming from a point of complete ignorance - couldn’t you use a guitar pick instead?
