In contrast, in the metro in Paris, the doors open a few seconds before the train stops, so that the doors are fully open by the time the train is stopped - and passengers in a hurry can jump out while the train is still moving.
I absolutely want to do something like this to help me and my family spend less time watching our phones in the evening.
Does anybody know of a reasonably-simple way of either increasing the latency or throttling the bandwidth, per-device, with programmable hours? For example, is there any wifi router that lets you do this?
This is horrible. I see horrible scenes in the city streets on a regular basis but seeing the picture of this poor tiny little baby on the pavement hit me hard.
Anybody here had experience dealing with that kind of cold? I'm curious how people deal with with. Is that something that good equipment can protect against or is it just too cold?
Where do you live? In SF, last time I tried to get the cops to come out of their desk (to arrest a bike thief who was selling my stolen bike literally 3 blocks away from the station), they told me that they couldn't do it. One of the excuses they used was that it was too far: if I could get the thief to enter the police station then they would help me.
+1, this would have been super to me too when buying a car with the constraint of having a tiny garage with a weird shape.
What I really wanted was a tool that lets me draw the plan of the garage and then tells me if I'll be able to park my car, and the margin (min offset to wall during the whole maneuver).
My dad had one! Another interesting about them is that the wood is decorated with patterns that are carved on it as the wood is alive and still growing. They're beautiful, I have never seen that technique anywhere else.
A kid in my 3yo son's preschool class tested positive today, and they are asking that all kids test twice (with a few days in between) and wear masks at all times while at school for the next 6 days. I'm in SF
My intuition is that people underestimate the impact of forcing kids and toddlers to wear masks.
What I observe is that for folks without kids, life has gotten back to normal, but somehow everything related to kids is still over cautious.
Lupiano said many of those who reached out to him about their brain cancer cases "are former CHS teachers and staff members who didn’t live in Colonia, they just worked in the school."
I totally agree, and I've observed how my productivity has gone up dramatically now that I'm back to the office. It's fairly empty, so it's not like there is actually many people watching over my shoulder, but somehow while I'm at my desk there I feel very little desire to do anything other than work.
You can believe that gender is irrelevant and only sex matters, but you should still make an effort to be polite and nice to your coworkers - for example call them by the name they go for even if it is different from the one on their ID, use the pronouns that they prefer, etc.
Of course, like all things related to politeness, there is no absolute rule - if I change my pronouns every week I shouldn't expect people to keep up. But it should not be surprising that you can be fired for not making a minimal effort to be nice to your colleagues.
Is the reason it's sexist because it can be interpreted as "women are less capable than men"? You would say this other statement is false and sexist, correct?
Can you explain what it means to "deny the existence" of someone? I see this expression often, but I'm genuinely puzzled by what it means in practice.
I agree with you that "purposely misgendering one's colleagues" should lead to firing, but I think this article isn't about that. It's about people who are tolerant of others and in general try to be nice people, but just disagree about certain things - for example, how criminal transgenders should be incarcerated, or whether affirmative action is a good way to help disadvantaged people.
