- Comment on Apple considered switching to DuckDuckGo from Google for Safari - Bloomberg News 1 year ago:
You are not going to get a more constructive criticism from OP.
I use mainly ddg but I have occasionally needed to switch to Google, but it’s happening less and less.
But then again with Google you need to frequently add keywords such as discussions or Reddit to find something that in the word’s of OP doesn’t suck balls.
- Comment on Cruise CEO says SF ‘should be rolling out the red carpet’ for robotaxis, threatens to maybe leave town 1 year ago:
Depends on what happens when they make errors. Is it comparable to human errors or are they prone to making worse mistakes than humans on average in terms of the conseguences.
They might be 99.99% perfect but in 0.01% of cases cause massive car pileups in motorways (for example) due to reasons.
A proper risk analysis based on a controlled transition would be better to be done first.
- Comment on Cruise CEO says SF ‘should be rolling out the red carpet’ for robotaxis, threatens to maybe leave town 1 year ago:
We don’t even know if they are better than humans in an actual driving environment that is more challenging higher speed roads etc…
It is insane to think the slow speed tests are representative of the entire possible scenarios. Or they might fail in driving in things like roundabouts or merging into motorways much more often than humans or who knows what edge cases.

I never seen a standing desk honestly, I thought it was a meme more than anything else.

okay so it’s just counting the small/branch lines not the whole network.

- Comment on Hydrogen locomotive 1 year ago:
No it’s not stored as liquid BLEVE is not a concern here, but there is plenty of issues with explosivity and very high preasures which can be 300-500 bar (~atm) depending on the application.
- Comment on Hydrogen locomotive 1 year ago:
I see your point but the proportions are wrong. Wiki says that ~15,000 km are electrified out of 29,900 km
- Comment on Hydrogen locomotive 1 year ago:
Not a very good one.
Hydrogen density is too low, there is more hydrogen in things like ammonia or methanol. All of these are potential solutions to fossil bunk fuel or LNG, but all have issues and there is no clear winner yet.
- Comment on Why a ton, and not a megagram? 1 year ago:
I think it’s mostly down to the fact the units could be mixed when written down.
Mg and mg should not create confusion in theory the standard milion prefix in metric is a capital M.
- Comment on Why a ton, and not a megagram? 1 year ago:
The official definition of a 1,000 kg is Mg but it’s not very frequently used in practice. Mostly because use of metric tonnes was already diffused
Keep in mind that there is more than just SI units used in Europe in the past. For example if you read through an old thermodynamics textbook in Italian it is likely to use a lot calories and often the CGS system (centimeter grams second and calories).
- Comment on Why a ton, and not a megagram? 1 year ago:
It’s typically shortened as t.
Normally it’s clear from the context and what units you are using so there is no ambiguity.

That shit is worst than Reddit. Didn’t even know it still existed.

Liking the design and deciding as an executive that this is what your company are to spend money and resources at are different things.

Okay enjoy then

- Comment on What’s the Bare Minimum Number of People for a Mars Habitat? 1 year ago:
Well that’s a reason.
At the moment with current technology, colonising other planets in the solar system is unsustainable without a lot of effort from earth so I doubt anything will come out of it in the near term.

First they need to see if they work and can be produced economically

I would not be surprised if they were to limit the power unless you pay for subscription.

So saying it wasn’t worth the investment ?
- Comment on Microsoft to stop forcing Windows 11 users into Edge in EU countries 1 year ago:
For most things I fully agree, unless it’s for windows specific applications that don’t exist in other platforms.
What about Nvidia drivers for games?
- Comment on Cruise robotaxi finds itself stuck in wet concrete in San Francisco 1 year ago:
That would be the optimistic scenario.
- Comment on Texas could get a 205-mph bullet train zipping between Houston and Dallas 1 year ago:
Yes exactly that. You can’t start a high speed train and expect for it to work.
Each train can handle the same amount of passengers as a couple large planes if not more. When they arrive at the destination something is needed for them to reach their destination…
