Your average architect is barely managing the coordination of their structural, electrical, mechanical, civil, and plumbing engineers. As green adaptive technology accelerates, it deeply concerns me that our notoriously slow moving construction and design industry will fail to incorporate these technologies and deliver the built environment we need to succeed against climate change.

This technology is great, but the real breakthrough will be getting someone like Lennar homebuilders to incorporate this into their constructions by default.

if you think of it from the context that the diagonal length of a brick is it's longest dimension, you can start to intuitively imagine how this efficiency in layout pattern is achieved.

It's the fact that unsubscribing to several services on a mobile phone is a nearly impossible task that is infuriating to me. Most streaming apps immediately divert you to their app (if it's installed) if you search for them on the web. These same apps will also tell you to "go to the web to manage your subscription". This forces the user to first delete the app and cross their fingers that the website doesn't just bounce them back over the app store.

Also, why has safari's mobile "request desktop site" not worked for me in over 5 years? It never brings a desktop site anymore... so annoying.

Apple tried to fix this by diverting any in-app subscriptions thru their app store, but because they take such a substantial cut of the sub revenue, companies would rather redirect users to the web to buy a sub and not provide the capability within the app. Despite Apple's efforts here, it has completely backfired and made the end user experience a deplorable state of affairs.
