But seeing it prominently displayed on the homepage of this site is offputting, regardless of my feelings about the word in general.

And the map TOS state it should be the business name.
I pointed this out as a UX problem, which it is.
This is also against their TOS – the "business name" form is supposed to be their legally registered business name, the one that they probably have signage for. Moderators simply don't enforce this, and with Map Maker basically gone, the community of moderators is somewhat of a cloak and dagger group now.
I have tried to clean some of these up via submissions, because in spite of agreeing with the points of the article and using mostly Apple Maps for navigation, Google Maps still is better in terms of having a lot of community sourced data and overall place discoverability (along with Yelp, which Apple Maps seems to no longer source data from).
Examples of these business names:
- {name} - {city name} Axe Throwing
- {name} License Agency - (Vehicle/Vessel not drivers license)
- {name} - Lunch Buffet (Friday-Sunday) - {cuisine} Restaurant - {city name}
And many now have:
- {name of a local chain} - {neighborhood or city name}
Some of this is a UX problem or perhaps data architecture problem – in the case of local chains, I imagine many are dealing with people calling in orders and showing up at the wrong place to pick up their order. Google Maps could do a better job showing the neighborhood/locality/"local name" of the area in the search results.
Others are just a lack of consistent moderation.
Which is to say, a duopoly is never good.
It took 10s to load on my M1.
> + Commuting
Prior to 2020 this was the vast majority of all jobs, including tech. Most got by just fine. And today still encompasses the majority of jobs, so I would argue this is classist.
> + Neglecting talking to family
Many people have reasons not to talk to family that end up with positive mental health outcomes. Sure, it can be negative, but this seems exclusionary.
> + A certain age without kids
C'mon. This isn't the 1940s.
Please be careful when putting out lists like this.
This is juxtaposing genuine, universal indicators of depression alongside subjective ones, which when read by the wrong (misinformed, uncertain, etc.) audience, could lead to adverse outcomes.
We don’t need to choose between these options. We can avoid climate change without nuclear energy
What stops an economic powerhouse like the EU:
- engineering and design costs are insane for new nuclear plants
- waste is also probably expensive given a largely urbanized continent
- solar and wind plummeting in costs, as well as batteries (yes, I will admit this is counter to the previous point as solar/wind occupy more space than waste storage)
- potentially, a stigma associating nuclear energy with former incompetent governance
- not all of EU (or world) is in a geographically stable region, i.e. resilient against earthquakes, which would balloon the cost of a safe nuclear power plant
IIRC there is a formal guidance for what is classified as renewable. Things like oil, while originating from biological matter, obviously being considered 'not', while tree mass, plant mass, being considered so. Believe the guidance was whether the carbon emitted in its production has been or could be absorbed within a lifetime, via the means with which it was produced.
I have reservations with nuclear but I imagine it would fit within those guidelines easily.
Or is that defective hardware?
Obviously a lot of research has happened since then, so I looked it up, and the lag period between CO2 and temperature rise is much shorter than I expected. It seems it is just a decade - so if we went to carbon negative today, we could see results in under 10 years [1] [2].
Kind of unclear if the baseline carbon we could achieve will result in YoY decrease in temperature, given the feedback loops and it already raising temperatures every year.
If the research you mentioned is predicated on massive carbon takeback then I am highly suspicious. The public sector doesn't have the will, and the private sector doesn't have the incentive.

Manhattan was engulfed in smoke from the west coast. People were flooded out of their homes in Western Europe. And heat waves across the west coast lead to dozens of deaths.
I'm probably missing things happening in Asian countries due to consuming western media.
We can look at our response to Covid as a model for how we might respond to climate change slapping us in the face. If that is a fair comparison, I am worried.
Why the scientists are not communicating this information which has been in pop-science (as early as An Inconvenient Truth (2006), which documents the lag between CO2 rise and temp rise) is beyond me.
I still advocate for mitigation/reduction efforts because future generations exist and they deserve the best climate we can pass on, but let's not pretend like we are on track to preserve any level of normal. 1.5C is more than a moonshot - it is behind us.
Subways do that. Centuries old technology
I can't even figure out how to use it from my mobile device without installing an app.

Should be ‘kebab’
Edit: kebab is the spelling that was intended
It seems like Boeing completely missed serious cases on the testing of the plane, and is hoping that the "UAT" phase (simulator training) would have uncovered the issues.
But UAT never underwent the condition of an AOA sensor failing.
