It's the first I hear that there was even a riot in the UK. I was specifically interested in finding out musks involvement. Since the article was drawing the comparison, it's on them to actually explain what they are comparing properly. And yes, randomly finding an article is it perfectly valid way of trying to catch yourself up on a news story. If the author can't be bothered to post summary, they should at least hyperlink to something that does.
Any article that draws a comparison like that should explain both ends of the comparison. I'm not from the uk, and while I do try to follow UK politics somewhat, there are some things that slip under my radar, like apparently a riot that Elon musk was involved with.
This article is slop. I read it to try to find out what was going on in the UK, and how musk was involved and there were less than two sentences about the event being covered. All the rest was about the US and how we are about to imminently fall. If you're going to make a headline like that at least explain to readers what happened. You can't assume that the entirety of your audience already knows.
You are being willfully obtuse. Atheists didn't choose the definition of the word. Magic is a catch all for things that are not explained by a scientific process. Computing is not one of those things. You don't understand computers because they are a black box. Therefore it is tempting to call the result magic. But you had better sure as hell hope that the effect of computers are reproducible, every single time, because if they are not, the world as we know it ceases to function.
No they aren't. Not all protests are good. It is essential that political disagreements don't capsize the society we live in. Any protests that can't be ignored is essentially mob rule
I mean, there's a big difference between not being popular and being dead. Nothing really happened to it, it just didn't grow at the rate that Facebook did.
You might look into prototype projects like cactus. It is for things like blog comments, but there might be adaptations
I thought the whole point of starlink was that it provided cheap and dirty infrastructure basically anywhere. What's the point if they're going to individually license areas??
I don't think a generic building that is suitable for all purposes is possible though. Inevitably the needs of a housing unit and an office are fundamentally different, going all he way down to the plumbing. It wouldn't make sense to build an office building with enough plumbing to easily become an apartment, or vice versa, because taking a down-the-middle approach could just as easily lead to a building that serves no useful purpose at all. It's not "just" about the money. He goes into the plumbing issue in particular in great depth. I highly recommend watching the whole video
Correct on both counts.
It’s so weird, do they think handicapped people can bike and walk everywhere or don’t exist?
As a handicapped person myself, it really baffles me how people think car oriented infrastructure is so much better for us. I am a wheelchair user, and I live in a 15 minute neighborhood. Getting around in my wheelchair is a million times simpler there than in my old car-centric suburb, because the same disabilities that make me wheelchair bound also prevent me from driving. Which mean that in a car-centric environment I do one of the following:
a) Rely on the generosity of friends and family to cart me around at their convenience, or b) Utilize shared access rides, which are door to door, but take longer than using public transit, or c) Roll myself to underserved suburban bus stops over badly maintained sidewalk, and pray I make it on time.
None of which are appealing.
Meanwhile, in my 15 minute city:
- The buses often run at 10 to 15 minute intervals (vs 30 to 60 minutes in the suburb),
- Sidewalks are larger
- I have less distance to travel in the first place

It's interesting reading people's stories about this. Honestly, I've always felt like a bit of an imposter in the gay community because I'm mostly hetero, but every now and then there is this... Spark. I've never really known what to do about it. I don't have enough experience dating generally to make the Right moves with either sex.
