Most of the JS bloat comes from really aggressive analytics, error tracking, and a/b testing. Not many developers are willing or given approval to remove these features up for smal…

Anything under $2.25/watt would put it within under a 4 year payback period, Alberta has good rates for solar. Rooftop solar doesn't have operating costs that I can think of unless…

My sister plans to just buy the self driving subscription for the month they go on road trips and thats it. Far better than buying it up front.

I still really like the Arc browser. Other browsers are still missing some of the small UI/UX things Arc has.

The real world isn't A/B tests. No government is going to spend millions on equipment and infrastructure on a congestion zone because some engineers are like "Let's just test this …

This makes perfect sense for a headless CMS. An editor might upload changes or a new article a few times per day/week into a database through a headless CMS. A webserver could make…

And living near a highway is linked to health issues like cardiovascular disease, dementia, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and MS. More cars and road is not more healthy. https://pmc.ncb…

Free streets are a handout to suburbanites that drive in and don't have to deal with constant congestion, pollution, noise, and collisions that people living in the congestion zone…

Just curious as to why you would want that?

Assassins Creed is becoming reality soon.

I feel like the oil industry has astroturfed nuclear energy, and NIMBYs love it because they know there can not be any significant nuclear capacity that will come online until 2030…

Maybe a lot of old equipment that used CFCs are now collectively leaking at the same time?

Disconnecting from the grid is overly romanticized. What you get from paying the utilities is a team of people who will fix equipment issues due to failure or the environment. If y…

People go broke if their utilities go up $100 a month. It's better if houses were built to not depend on volatile energy prices. Net zero homes basically move the monthly utility c…

People rent detached homes to families all the time. My sister does it and I live next to a family who rents a detached home. Why would the viewpoint of owners be any different wit…

I don't think there is much difference that's why all the projects plan for 20% low income units.
