  • Norway is set to become the first country to fully transition to electric vehicles

    Jump

  • Certainly valid that there isn't a cultural norm for it in the US. With that said, the US still has about 3.3 million EVs on the road. Norway has about 3.4 million cars on the road total.

    So it's a heck of a lot easier to enable 5.5 million people to replace their cars then 330 million people. Size matters as much as the identity we have with it on this one.

  • As I'm here now, I can attest to the great public transit. However I will also say the large and dispirit nature of their population means the car will still likely rule. Yes many may not afford it, and some prefer the bike (even now in winter) but they seem to love their cars as much as the US given the traffic.

  • I'm not saying they aren't downplaying it, but it's also a population of 5.5 million of highly educated and high per capita income, which makes easier to implement. Small population and people who can afford it.

  • This is fascinating as I didn't even know about it for one, and for two it's based on having legal standing as a customer of the product, not the developer of the GPL code. I'll be interested to see where this goes.

    I think the market is going to struggle with this for a while yet, in the mist of this brewing trade war.

  • If you were an intelligent sea creature who could not always rely on the sky to tell time (as is often the norm whilst out there), what would you use as a time reference if you wanted to measure time?

  • Trump ally Lindsey Graham sends warning to special counsel Jack Smith

    Jump

  • Look, yes avoidance is a valid behavior. We have it, we need it, and it's useful at times, but like any behavior it can become a dependence. Wholly depending on an attitude of avoidance to deal with the outside world doesn't build resilience. Desensitizing to the trauma and being able to face it, and act in spite of seems like a better goal.

    It's a screwed up depressing world and I empathize with the horror, disgust, disillusionment, disenfranchised nature of the world.

    I struggle with it constantly, and maybe we should create a support group or a sub for this alone, as we need to find ways to cope with this, as it's not going to get fixed in a vacuum. Yet we can't fix it if we are overwhelmed and emotionally shutdown...

  • Trump ally Lindsey Graham sends warning to special counsel Jack Smith

    Jump

  • Not reading the news isn't going to make the situation better or worse. I understand the sentiment, but don't understand why saying it is useful. Hiding your head in the sand doesn't mean your body won't be harmed.

    There are better ways to cope with the emotional onslaught of this change. Focusing on your community, finding new digital communities, learning to cope in general, finding validating ways to feel liberated... In other words actions. Small perhaps, but beyond this notion of burying our heads in the sand.

  • Trump lagging in early vote with seniors in Pennsylvania, a red flag for GOP

  • Actually apparently it's the other way. Conservatives are less likely to answer polls. Pollsters have been trying to account for it, but polling has become a very dynamic challenge.

  • Good way to send small messages between devices ?

    Jump

  • Local send works well for me between android and iDevices in most cases. I will say it struggles with VPN'ed connections, which is by design of the network and some VPN will block local connections.

    I know sharedrop.io uses a similar web based model as pairdrop and runs into the same VPN issue, but I'm curious if the room function might overcome that in pairdrop.
