spixy··on Sounding the alarm: How noise hurts the heart (2021)
From provided links, 33% of US population is exposed to >70 dBA whereas only 20% of EU population is exposed to >65 dBA noises, and US average density < EU average density. So from this small resaearch I conclude there are better solutions than single-family housing.

Like subways in cities, it makes zero noise but it needs population density.

And more bikepaths, more walkable streets, less car lanes.

spixy··on Bitcoin consumed 134 TWh in total during 2021
That's generally not true with transaction between countries:

> when countries exchange money for goods in other countries, the gold bars aren't even moved. they bar just gets recorded as belonging to another country

And I don't think individuals or companies make transactions with gold that often.

spixy··on Windows 11 review: An unnecessary replacement for Windows 10
I was thinking about this before and only conclusion I came is that all of recent great MS software is open-sourced (VScode, .NET core, TypeScript, new Terminal app, PowerToys...)

github is still developed by Github Inc.

spixy··on Free Parking Is Killing Cities
Seems like a bad implementation. In my city (Czechia) most of the parking lots are owned by the city, so it is fined by the city police. Cars are checked by cameras installed on the side of police cars, and in city centre its fully automated because there are cameras reading plates on each entrance. No wheel locks unless you are very bad offender.
