  • Utrecht to start construction on largest car-free neighborhood in the country next week

    Jump

  • They say it'll have high quality public transport. If this is the same area that a city planner once talked about then it'll be quite troublesome. Using models they can predict how effective the mobility will be. For the neighborhood he talked about the plans would not work at all.

    If I investigate this plan it seems it'll just be bus lines. At the moment just 2 stops. For 6.000 houses. That seems like a failure.

    With the housing shortage they might get sold anyway.

  • Russian official discusses satellite warfare at international space conference in Australia, raising questions why she was granted a visa

  • Right to move? How is that arranged or made legal?

  • White House Orders Agencies to Escalate Fight Against Offshore Wind

  • It's not a weird vendetta. He's been given some money to be against solar and wind.

  • 25 countries suspend postal services to U.S. over tariffs: UN

    Jump

  • You're talking about companies with offices in the US. I'm talking about foreign countries. E.g. Postnl (company without offices in the US).

  • 25 countries suspend postal services to U.S. over tariffs: UN

    Jump

  • How would a foreign country collect this in behalf of the US? No system has been setup for this by the US.

    EU, UK and others have systems in place to make this possible. The US hasn't.

  • The UK’s Online Safety Act is a licence for censorship – and the rest of the world is following suit

    Jump

  • In the EU similar stuff is promoted by companies wanting to profit from supplying the various required software.

  • Calc has loads of small papercuts (tiny usability issues) which added together make it quite horrible to use. It's not polished.

    Zero ships from China are bound for California’s top ports. Officials haven’t seen that since the pandemic

    Jump

  • Thousands of nuclear powered ships manned by the whomever agrees to the lowest wage. This while ignoring the alternative fuels various vessels are switching to.

  • DOGE’s shocking $8 billion dollar mistake called out

    Jump

  • To add: If you cancel a contract that was 80% finished then that is not a saving. It means you likely wasted 80%.

    It really feels like penny wise, pound foolish. Only focusing on what's paid out and thought about the benefit.

    Though the simplistic approach is likely intentional.

  • Canada's most populous province to pause retaliatory measures as US puts tariffs on hold

    Jump

  • The tariffs are paid by the importers. It'll negatively affect things in Canada.

  • Agreed, which is why it's funny that certain crowds think gloves are magic.

  • China lets Sweden, Finland, Germany and Denmark board ship in cable breach case

    Jump

  • Considering the cable was likely cut by just dragging the anchor over the seafloor, there's not much to find.

    Dropping an anchor isn't done accidentally. There's a pretty high risk for things to go wrong. Your assertion just doesn't make sense. It isn't "perfectly plausible" to drop anchor accidentally, nor is it to drag it for ages.

  • Ah, indeed:

    Today, more than a quarter of all new code at Google is generated by AI, then reviewed and accepted by engineers. This helps our engineers do more and move faster.

    Sounds like bs to me, comes across as marketing talk to promote their AI offerings.

  • Redding landlord fired after allegedly committing voter, mail fraud in Reddit posts

    Jump

  • He assumed the rules don't apply to him. Rules are for the people you don't like.

  • McDonald’s workers roast Trump over ‘insulting cosplay’ stunt at restaurant that failed health inspection

    Jump

  • it gives a false sense of cleanliness and makes people not wash their hands as often as they should.

    To expand in that. If someone wears gloves and touches e.g. raw chicken and then something else it'll contaminate it and anything they'll touch afterwards.

    People asking for gloves are usually misguided. As said, due to gloves they'll not charge gloves or wash when needed. And that's pretty often.

    Strangely there's some huge craziness where there's loads of comments that ask for gloves and think it'll improve hygiene. While to me gloves indicate a poor hygiene understanding.

  • If Trump wins the election, US cities are at risk of military takeovers and mass deportations

    Jump

  • I feel like this is something that won't really happen.

    Similar things were said about abortion.

  • Amazon cloud boss says employees unhappy with 5-day office mandate can leave

    Jump

  • That's the intention behind that back to work decision.

  • Biden sets a 10-year deadline for US cities to replace lead pipes and make drinking water safer

    Jump

  • In Rotterdam (Netherlands) they're replacing the sewage system. People get a letter that they're responsible for the bit on their ground. In practice the city also handled the line to the house.

    I don't understand why in your area they'd not take care of that bit. With everything mostly open it should be much easier anyway.

    That the city doesn't promise anything is likely for things like liability and unique/expensive exceptions. But not doing that in practice, so strange.
