  • What? The moment you realize something happened it's past already. Present is a lie.

  • Parisians vote in favour of tripling parking costs for SUVs

    Jump

  • While this is great, someone who doesnt mind paying a 100k for a car wont mind the extra fees.

    Not just that, it removes the.. let's call it 'shame factor'. Some people that would feel bad about driving big, polluting cars in the city now will feel perfectly justified: they are paying extra for the privilege. This will not reduce the number of cars and likely will increase it. It's simply a bad policy. As you said, number of parking spots for big cars should be reduced each year putting greater and greater pressure on the owners to get rid of them.

  • Americans are asleep, post European windows

  • It absolutely is true. I have a PHD in early XXI century north American showering practices and I know for a fact that 65% of showers in the North East and 66% of showers in the rest of the US look like this, thus, making it a typical American shower. I will admit that there is a debate within my field of research as to how public and hotel showers should be counted but most experts agree with my position that what should be taken into consideration are the shower units, not the number of uses they get per year.

  • Mark Zuckerberg made $29 billion this morning after Meta stock makes record surge

  • I mean, yes, you're right but nothing about the company changed. So people betting that the stock will go up are basically betting that people will buy it for the dividends.

  • Hmmm...

  • Come on, it's a prank.

    As in Tim Apple pranked them out of 3.5k.

  • Americans are asleep, post European windows

    Jump

  • Yep, I'm just saying that 90% of people in Europe will simply go with external AC. Where I live most new apartments simply come with central AC installed and roof top units. But that's in southern Spain, AC is a must.

  • If you want to really confuse Americans show them European showers. Imagine a shower with fixed pressure only...

    Edit: I see people are confused. I meant that typical shower in US doesn't have adjustable pressure:

  • Window mounted units are still terrible for comfort. External AC unit is like 300 euro + 300 euro for installation. It's not a big investment and you get totally silent unit. In Europe people will use portable units if it's short term and install external one if it's permanent.

  • Mark Zuckerberg made $29 billion this morning after Meta stock makes record surge

    Jump

  • On Friday, shares of Meta (META) jumped more than 20% on the news of a quarterly dividend of $0.50 per share to be paid out on March 26 to shareholders of record as of February 22.

    Let me get this straight: Meta said that for every stock you have month from now you will get $0.50 two months from now and people started buying like crazy. So basically people are betting that they will be able sell the stock right after Feb 22 before it loses more than $0.50? Am I getting this right? This system is so fucked up...

  • Too pretty? Easter poster depicting a handsome, fresh-faced Jesus prompts criticism in Spain

    It may be hard to understand but the Holy Week in southern Spain is not really about religion (as in faith). It's kind of like football: people are fucking crazy about it, it has it's lore and it's huuuge but honestly, you're not going to see a single priest during the whole event and no one goes to church or prays. It's like a religion themed festival. Sexy Jesus fits perfectly. People can relax about it.

  • I know a guy that got accused by some family member of rape 20 years ago, lost his job and spend years awaiting trial only to be found not guilty but with broken career and a debt. Now go tell this guy and many other guys thinking that "me too" movement went to far that "their problems" were only implanted into their heads. You and me we understand the power dynamics here and can still support "me too" despite it's flaws but many guys simply see the privileges they lost because of it. I'm assuming you would agree with me that they shouldn't have had those privileges in the first place but the fact that they are loosing them is real. That's why they are worried and are pushing back.

  • Who's up for a challenge?

  • a >= 0, b >= 0, c >= 0, d >= 0

    I think that's the issue, in the second possible solution one of the parameters is negative :)

    This looks great, I didn't even know it's possible to solve it this way. I'm glad someone dedicated some time to it. Let's see if anyone will try solving it in other way.

  • Cory Doctorow wants to wipe away enshittification of tech

    Jump

  • Yes, I totally agree with everything you said. YT is enshittifying not because it has ads but because their recommendation algo got really really bad in recent years.

    Netflix algo didn't change. You still have 'continue watching' and 'my list' on the main page, they added 'top 10 in your country' which is nothing like pushing content they want to show you (assuming it's accurate but I haven't seen any indications it's not), the search still returns accurate results, the recommendations are still 100% related to what I'm watching. Netflix never pushed any 'click-bait' content at me the way YT does all the time.

    If you have different experience with Netflix and you found some changes that make your experience worse than you're right, it's enshittyfying. I haven't seen anything like that and I haven't seen anyone complaining about anything other than the price.

  • Cory Doctorow wants to wipe away enshittification of tech

    Jump

  • No, I agree with the definition. What I'm saying is that quality of streaming services is not degrading. The price is going up but that's not the same thing.

    And I already said that you have many alternatives: there's multiple competing services (who's competing with YT?), you still can buy disks, you can watch TV, you can go to the cinema, damn, you can even read a book. No one is locked into one source of entertainment.

  • Most Republicans aren’t aware of Trump’s various legal issues

    Jump

  • You're right about everything but what I'm saying is that there's something hidden a bit deeper behind all this. A lot of people don't support AfD, VOX of Konfederacja because they believe in their economic and anti-immigration policies. They are drawn to them because of they anti-progressive stances and once 'converted' they accept the other ideas. The main thing is that the further you take progressive policies the more people will start disagreeing with them and pushing back. And there's really no good solution here. We either give more rights to women and minorities and face pushback from the right or limit those policies and face pushback from the left. It's a kind of 'two steps forward one step back' situation where we took steps forward recently and I think we just have to be prepared for the step back.
