That has existed for a long time and predates the MS acquisition. It's called Github Enterprise.

Skoda is owned by VW

It's not fully state owned, it's semi-privatized. You get the worst of both worlds, so to speak.

I have never seen this. For all flights I have flown recently, the price for a kid and an adult is the exact same.

Actually, that's surprisingly little roads in the US. The population is significantly larger (more than 3x), so on a per person basis roads in Germany see much more use than in the…

Always enjoyed de_dust more than de_dust2. But I am clearly in the minority on that one.

Lol, Australia and Canada seem to be very similar in this regard.

Same in Germany. Times are usually assumed to be ct (cum tempore) and start XY:15. When something starts sharp, it's specified as st (sine tempore).

Uber outsourced they capital intensive fleet of cars to the drivers. Waymo has no such luxury. But the main point is: if there is no need to compete in price, companies won't do it…

What does size have to do with it? Switzerland also has less GDP, less tax revenue and less people to build things.

I don't think this is a very good list that should call itself top 100. Maybe anglophone top 100, but even then I'd question some of the choices. I completely ignores a ton of more…

Isn't Amazon's APIs everywhere another example of just this that came right from the top? In some companies CEOs double as the tech lead, no?

Waymo is not cheaper than Uber. I don't buy the cost argument tbh.

Yeah, I'd expect many cities passing laws to forbid empty driverless cars on the road unless they're a taxi.

That's already possible and called taxis/uber/etc. In what way would self driving cars incentivize not owning your own car?

I love that the author clearly describes why saying entropy measures disorder is misleading.

How can anybody trust the US ever again? Trump completely ignored an existing free trade agreement with Canada and Mexico that he himself signed. You have to assume that the US is …

"Everyone can draw their own conclusions as to what’s causing this." - Trump caused this. It's clear and simple.

How can you say this with the current state of US politics? It's clearly inferior leading to such poor outcomes.

I don't think this is NIMBYism. The complaints are kind of reasonable and also, allowing a private company like Amazon do this most certainly is not something for the greater good.…

Living in a North American city with power wires being above ground, I have had so many power outages in the last five year, it was kind of a crazy thing to get used to. My Pi woul…

Is that really true? I think life has become infinitely more convenient over the last few decades. One can now order everything over the internet and not even leave the house. SO m…

Deeper. The only significance of the Planck length is that at that scale quantum effects and gravitational effects matter equally. Essentially that's where our current theories bre…

Random question, but what are Apple adapters? Kind of hard to google it, lol

It would redefine the meter too since the speed of light is defined as a constant and the meter derives from it.
