Especially because in most ways it actually isn't better in the app. Even on an iPhone 17 it is usually quite slow and hangs frequently. Offline reading SHOULD be a clear advantage to the app, but it is completely inconsistent about what will be available offline, when I'm sure a significant fraction of their readership are New Yorkers trying to read while commuting on the subway.

I don't believe so, unless the object had such a powerful telescope it could image Hubble itself in high definition and literally see where it was pointing, which would require an absurdly large lens. A telescope like Hubble absorbing light is purely passive, it doesn't emit anything "back" that would tell the observed object it is being observed.

I would counter that the "modern" Penn Station (at least prior to the recent projects) is worse at that "fast and safely" objective. It's much harder to navigate a maze of tunnels than to navigate a large, open station headhouse with far fewer obstacles between you and the track or exit you're trying to reach.

With the new Moynihan Train Hall, built in the same style as the original Penn Station, I can simply enter from the street and walk in a straight line to the escalator down to a specific track. No more maze of tunnels (getting to the subway is another matter).

Lots of other stations built in the same style in the same period remain well-preserved and functional- Grand Central in the same city, opened 3 years later, being a prime example.

There's a difference between concluding that scientific research is wrong and concluding that it is fraudulent. The latter is a claim about the character of the scientist involved, alleging them to have taken unethical if not illegal action. If that is provably false then it can certainly rise to the level of defamation.

Maybe not 95%, but quite a lot of truck owners when surveyed essentially never use them for towing or hauling https://www.axios.com/2023/01/23/pickup-trucks-f150-size-wei...

Streets may not have gotten wider in a given city/town since then, but there's been a lot of population growth and development in that time in the sunbelt where urban planning has favored very wide roads. So even if roads themselves aren't getting wider, people have been moving to places where roads are wide.
