To be honest, this video was quite cringe, 50min of repeating the same thing over and over, repeating her opinion, saying ridiculous unsubstantiated things such as: “musk bought twitter because he was annoyed people were saying he was not a physicist “.
Let’s do better and post better content.
she's not wrong though. it's exactly like one the comments says: "It's the intellectual equivalent of the wannabe tough guy staple: "I almost joined the military.""
I’ve hired dozens of smart Americans with the right degree and willingness to learn and I was not even American myself. I worked with hundreds more. Not sure what you’re talking about.
This would only matter in any way if you think that listening to podcasts is primarily a hobby that people engage in for its own sake. If you think they listen to some podcasts and not other podcasts because they care what's in the podcasts, why would they care if Apple hosts a list of podcasts?
discoverability, if a friend talks to me about a podcast I could be interested in, i'd rather just have the name of the podcast than a full URL.
Here i can just use any podcast app that integrates with Apple podcast service and type the name of the podcast i want to listen to.
Your question is the same as: "Why do you care if $YOUR_SEARCH_ENGINE (google, kaggle, duckduckgo) hosts a list of websites?"
sure, you can use google or a search engine, look in the results for the actual feeds url (vs just a website or something), and copy paste it in your podcast player.
Or you can just search from it directly in your podcast app.
not to mention that unless the podcast has an official site, a Google search for the feed will turn up 10 different mirrors of the feed, without any clarity about which one's the canonical source.
in the past i've subscribed to a dead feed this way i think because the author changed who they syndicate through. i assume Apple's directory is maintained in a way that largely avoids this (simply by it being the canonical directory).
It can work if the other car took more of the damage than it would have compared to a collision with a "squishier" car. Would be interested to see a Cybertruck vs Cybertruck crash.
Postulate two spherical cybertrucken in a vacuum suspended from the same point by wire under Earth gravity acceleration. After contact each vehicle moves away from the point of contact with the energy equivalent of 1/2 the sum of each vehicle's input kinetic energy.
parent said: "no one in either car was hurt". If the cybertruck didn't have any damage it means that no energy was dissipated by "squishing it", basically it made the impact twice as bad (compared to a regular squishier car) for the occupants of both cars.
Maybe indeed no one got hurt, but then it means that the crash was at super low speed.
So many comments in here using the context of US cities and missed that Amsterdam (like most big european cities) is not designed for high throughput car transportation and as a result painting that decision as making things "crazy slow" and that it "sounds terrible".
I highly encourage you to go live a week in a big old european city (Paris, London, Berlin, Amsterdam, Madrid) without renting a car to understand why it's not a crazy decision and how it can make the life of the residents so much better.
Amsterdam notably was designed for cars in the 70s afaik, but they consciously redesigned it over time. So I’m a few decades, it could be your American city.
But not until they did quite a bit of damage, some of which remains today. If that idiot had had his way a lot of the historical city would have been destroyed.
Pretty much all of Amsterdam is pre-WW2 or older. Only the parts outside the A10 ringroad tend to be post war and more car friendly.
There were indeed plans to bulldoze large parts of the old city and build highways and high rises, but after many protests almost no plans were executed.
I mean it was quite clearly designed for water traffic first. I wouldn't describe it as designed for cars in comparison to say Los Angeles or Kansas City.
The 30 km/h limit will apply to all vehicles, including bicycles and in particular electric "fat" bikes which have become a particular problem in the city lately.
People in Amsterdam use km/h not mph.
From my experience in france, on 30km/h roads, people would drive anywhere between 30-40km/h, while on 50km/h roads, people would drive between 50 and 55km/h.
I was just confused by the usage of mph in this context and interpreted parent's comment in a way that would mean amsterdam residents were using mph.
I also wanted to provide a data point that does indeed go in the way of the parent regarding people going over the speed limit.
I made the mistake of watching it. Don’t.
The first half is about him commenting to his followers a
Meme video of a product manager to a software engineer. The second part is about how they implemented the fact that for black mirror they wanted the first season to be displayed to be season 4 instead of season 1.
Might be just personal taste but I found the streamer insufferable.
Something that is interesting (even if you don't like the streamer's style), is that Netflix had a seemingly simple requirement:
For a particular show, instead of recommending to viewers to start at S01E01 (which might put people off the show due to that particular episode being distastefully vulgar to some), by default start at S04E01 (which was actually the first episode produced by Netflix after they acquired the show).
It turned out that this seemingly simple requirement went against a very deeply ingrained (almost fundamental) assumption in many places in their systems, that shows always start at the earliest available episode.
In the end, implementing this seemingly simple requirement landed up being (according to the streamer) a 4 month project.
