Neikius··on Hyperloop One to shut down
A few big cities and long distances in between. Sounds like A perfect country for rail. But oh didn't work. Guess distances are big enough air travel makes more sense. Unless the volume is big enough maybe?

This is a good point. Some of us would want different products. Is there just not enough of us or is this a situation similar to the instant fashion where someone else just decides what is "best for the people"?

Yeah, capacitive buttons, my old nemesis. Worst of both worlds. Guess I need to read up why those were invented even.

Modern induction stove tops driving me insane ... All touchscreens. Everything else is better about them but just can't find any with actual physical controls.

Touch buttons yeah. Combining the worst of both worlds. By being both touch and buttons and at the same time not being buttons physically so not having the ergonomy of the button and not being a touchscreen and so not having the flexibility of that...

I really was baffled by this decision. Not believing this headline until I see it.
