What do you think they are going to do with all that money they’re going to “save”?

Sure, but traditionally only the man’s name gets passed down to children

In Paris, most people who are now biking are people who would have taken public transportation before, so the amount of cars on the roads is roughly the same as before.

I've also been a daily cyclist for over 10 years in Paris and paradoxically, I feel less safe now when I'm riding on shared infrastructure (that is roads without a separated cycling lane). I attribute it to the fact that people driving, and especially people who HAVE to drive (taxis, deliveries, etc...) are facing insane levels of congestion and are lashing out on cyclists because they blame them for being stuck in traffic for hours every day.

Now of course as a cyclist, I applaud all this new infrastructure but I'm wondering if there's a way to appease this growing atmosphere of violence (and I'm not exagerating, I've seen several fights break out between motorists and cyclists). Given the very limited space available in Paris centre, I don't really see an easy way unfortunately...

Curious if that's also something you noticed / experienced ?

This looks interesting but I’m a bit worried about the CSAM / illegal stuff part, could a user get in trouble because he has traces of that in his crawled index? Also, how large is the index after indexing for a few months?

You might be correct today but that’s a pretty sad state of affairs, don’t you think we can do better? Most other engineering domains can deliver projects without bugs, with various definitions of “bug” of course

Yes indeed, they are being deceptive to the local community to try to rip them off.

I’m far from being antivax but if you look at the thousands / millions of deaths caused by religious wars and / or strict societal control in history and up to today I’m not sure I agree with your statement that antivax people are way more dangerous than organized religion.

Where are you getting your numbers from? I got my new e-bike insured for 2 years for 10% of the purchase price

Aha of course, the democrats would have applauded brutally laying off 75% of the workforce had he been “toeing the party line”.

"Just fucking create a killer product and work on refining that product to the best of your abilities".

I'd argue that that is the exact reason why Apple is where it's at today.

Probably France

The thing that did it for me was building a "web browser" in VB6 using a printed book and copying the lines one by one. It was just a wrapper around a webview with a few buttons and text fields to navigate.

I think what I found amazing what that it was relatively easy to rebuild something that I used every day and that was immensely cool/useful.

So maybe help him rebuild a basic instagram / TikTok clone app on a mobile device?
