  • Sure, I just showed you the report, you may draw your own conclusions upon reading it. But in my opinion they've long proven to be transparent and actionable when it comes to improving the industry, e.g. by co-founding the Fair Cobalt Alliance. And maybe they even had something to do with those changes in legislation, the EU itself seems to recognise as much...

    "Fairphone has made a tangible impact by improving working conditions for miners and factory workers, increasing the use of fair-trade and recycled materials, and extending product lifespans to combat e-waste. Its advocacy has influenced industry giants and policymakers to adopt fairer, more sustainable practices."

  • a vague promise

    "Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, we collaborate with suppliers to develop improvement plans that are informed by detailed assessments and worker surveys." p. 28

    From their recently published annual(I think?) impact report. There's a bit more detail under section 4.3, not crazy specific but definitely better than a vague promise imo.

  • It was more of a joke comment about your response. OP says he doesn't have time to spend with (more) friends and your response is to just spend more time with them.

    Although I know that's not quite what you meant, I'm pointing it out in a deadpan way as to highlight the absurdity.

  • This is the most thorough answer I managed to find so far. They do mention silver being more valuable, but seems like the application process might be more expensive also.

    The only source I could find on commonality is this paywalled market report claiming "The market is segmented by application (home and commercial) and type (aluminized and silvered glass mirrors), with silvered glass mirrors currently holding a larger market share due to their superior reflectivity and clarity." Not sure whether greater market share necessarily means more individual mirrors produced though. But sounds like silver still reigns supreme despite higher costs, though not sure by how much.

  • TIL the UK built a working hovertrain prototype in the 1970s and then abandoned it

  • Trains already don't require much maintenance, they're quite simple machines, which is one of their main benefits.

  • Just meaningful time together. Thats it.

    Yeah, but when?

  • Honestly, I'd prefer leisurely delivery unless next-day is absolutely necessary (and it should cost extra). Biggest problem is overpromising, just say it'll take 3-4 days and people will be happy it arrives in 2. It'll give the delivery workers a break, and you probably don't need it by tomorrow anyways otherwise you should've ordered sooner.

    Part of the problem is the lack of stores nearby in case you do need something right away of course. Ideally you could solve that with a quick corner store visit instead of having to order online.

    Basically Amazon didn't just fuck up retail, but postal too.

  • Most use aluminium nowadays afaik.

  • What's something you immediately judge a person for when you see them wearing or have?

  • Fair point, but I think I could separate those out pretty easily ;)

    If you're walking around downtown you don't need it. If you actually needed it you wouldn't be wearing your expensive gear downtown.

  • Yeah it's underrated for sure, good candidate for a 'second chance'.

  • That's because Tesla self-driving takes a different, and imo way worse, approach.

    Waymo relies on mapping, the entire city is basically 3D modelled and loaded into the car memory. It's more or less 'on rails'. It also uses LIDAR for live data alongside imaging cameras, again building a 3D model of its environment combined with image recognition.

    Tesla decided that, for some reason, they want their cars to drive 'like humans', only relying on vision and deployable anywhere, without pre-mapping.

    Demanding a computer to behave like humans, instead of using a computer's strengths, seems like a very poorly thought out move to me.

  • What was the worst hotel you ever stayed at?

  • Definitely the one in China where a breaker box in the stairwell exploded. We were very lucky the whole place didn't burn down.

  • Hmmm, a number of very weird ones come to mind first...

    • Shangri-la (2009)
    • The Third: Aoi Hitomi no Shoujo (2006)
    • El Cazador de la Bruja (2007)
    • Real Drive: Sennou Chousashitsu (2008)

    Maybe because I had too much time to watch obscure stuff back then, and I love me some rare animus. Then again, they all weren't all that good, probably why they only had one season. And it's all female-led sci-fi I just noticed, shows my preferences...

  • Make dinosaurs weirder

  • Prehistoric Planet, I say as an amateur. But from what little I read about it it's pretty alright apparently, and most of the 'wrong/we're not sure about this bit' things are listed on the wiki afaik.

    Of course there's much more scientific depth possible than a TV show, but it's a start towards recreating the common notion of what dinosaurs may have looked like.
