People at large are rational and will make rational transportation choices given incentives. The incentives are all aligned towards driving right now because that benefits the auto industry.

You cannot make assertions about how Americans behave, "culturally," based on their transportation choices because these choices are not happening in a vacuum.

Case in point: when Americans visit Disneyland, or NYC, or Amsterdam, they do not typically insist on driving through those places.

It's fascinating how, to me, my comment was very clearly "don't use a car if you care about privacy" but that interpretation didn't even occur to you. Car dependency runs deep.

This requires the assumption that your location and your car's location are always one and the same.

If you care about your privacy consider leaving the vehicle with tracking numbers on it at home sometimes. It's not just cops that have ALPRs and you cannot prevent this technology from existing.

Cars are an immensely inefficient platform.

This strikes me as unlikely.

This finally made it click for me why I stopped playing online multiplayer games when dedicated servers were abandoned in favor of matchmaking. All the villages were gone.

People don't want to play mobile games on their TV. They want to watch TV while playing mobile games.

CMD+A,C,T,V,A,X,W,V

I don't even release the CMD key between presses and it's all done with one hand extremely quickly. I've often wondered if Chrome collects usage statistics on this and what it looks like from their perspective. "This user opens a lot of tabs, pastes stuff in the address bar, then gives up before the new tab page is even done loading."

The touchpad is inferior to the trackpoint, so I'd much rather they get rid of it entirely instead.

Luckily I was able to return the bag when I got back to the states. It was nice otherwise, but I'd really bought it for the TSA convenience.

They took the money and ran, basically.

To anyone with an understanding of PC hardware it's clear this list was composed specifically to justify the iMac pro's price.

Here's a much more reasonable list: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/xanderstrike/saved/mNDWXL

Robinhood, by not having fees, takes the stock market from the rich and opens it up to everyone else. IMO it's a great name.

This isn't true if you buy both an Apple phone and computer, you have to get an Android. Just more evidence of Apple's backwards and confused direction as of late.

Sony didn't like this, as they were losing money on every PS3, so they disabled the functionality.

Soylent is an actual meal replacement. You can consume nothing but Soylent for as long as you want to. It's not geared towards weight loss, just as an alternative to food. It provides complete nutrition.

Also I can't find anything on the site today, nor can I remember any advertising in the past that would lead me to believe it's a gendered product. SlimFast aggressively advertises towards women, sure, but I fail to see how Soylent is geared towards men.

Flash is one of the best workflows for animators ever. This is equivalent to Photoshop being EOL'd because Apple doesn't like the pictures you can make with it.

Tons of animators still use Flash, the tools are by far the best and easiest for making animated and interactive content. It used to also have an awesome publishing path, but Apple killed that off. All the animators I know still work with it, but record the flash animations as videos and post 'em on youtube.
