    Which btw that program isn't doing too well. It's a huge cost right now, compared to more traditional public transit. And imagine that this is with regular "cheap" vans rather than more expensive vehicles. These also seem to be a small step better than Personal vehicles as I hear most rides are solo rides (which is not exactly the aim). What is great about micro is they support bikes, and people with disabilities to help reach the last mile in their trip.

    Most of those can addressed by busses too actually.

    Train has fewer stops meaning train reaches the destination faster

    Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) or any bus line can have less stop for this reason. To expand on BRT routes, they can be dedicated lanes for busses, with right of way. They can be specific only for busses, and cars not allowed to use it ever or also mixed usage where certain rush hours are for bus use only but outside those hours can be used by other vehicles.

    Train has ultimate right-of-way, and doesn't have to stop for pedestrians on the tracks, red lights, or other things

    This can also be done with BRT routes.

    trains in some cities, go under waterways meaning more direct routes than busses

    BRT as well.

    there's more space inside trains and usually more choice of seats. Standing is also an option which isn't allowed on most busses

    Busses can absolutely support this. Paris has more open busses to allow more people standing or people with disabilities.

    acceleration and deceleration are more predictable and comfortable

    With dedicated BRT lanes, I believe that can also be done considering there's only bus stops that need to be slowed down on.

    Nearly all metro light rail trains are powered by electricity, while many city busses remain diesel

    I know technically electric busses are possible, but I'm not certain how feasible this is.

    My understanding is that BRT routes are cheaper and faster to setup than trains, and can be upgraded to trains. I'm not saying BRT is better than light or heavy rail, but that should be a more common path for mass transit that is not utilized in the US.

    I like this one. I've heard Scientist lie or scientist are wrong, but it feels ironic that people still trust them every single day with the products that they consume that were generally thought of from scientists.

    How trustworthy is woodward, the author of this information? I suppose it could be trustworthy since the WashPost is making an article about it, the implication they believe this should be considered correct information.

    All these people saying its 135 are making big assumptions that I think is incorrect. There’s one triangle (the left one) that has the angles 40, 60, 80. The 80 degrees is calculated based on the other angles. What's very important is the fact that these triangles appear to have a shared 90 degree corner, but that is not the case based on what we just calculated. This means the image is not to scale and we must not make any visual assumptions. So that means we can’t figure out the angles of the right triangle since we only have information of 1 angle (the other can’t be figured out since we can’t assume its actually aligned at the bottom since the graph is now obviously not to scale).

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

    Can you clarify what you mean? this doesn't make sense to me. There isn't an "outer" triangle. There's one triangle (the left one) that has the angles 40, 60, 80. Both triangles are misleadingly drawn as they appear to be aligned at the bottom but they're not (left triangle's non-displayed angle is 80, not 90 degrees). So that means we can't figure out the angles of the right triangle since we only have information of 1 angle (the other can't be figured out since we can't assume its actually aligned at the bottom since the graph is now obviously not to scale).

    Worst thing for him to say after that. Makes it sound like he was wrong, and thought he could get away with it. It wasn't a flawless debate from his side, but still better than Trump's trainwreck with Kamala. I'm hoping they have another debate.

    NPR did a podcast on those "bumpers" (there's a term that I don't recall). HBO wanted to change theirs for the reason you indicated as well as the fact that it was rather long compared to Netflix's and others. They paid a lot of money to develop others and also do testing\ polling with end users. The original beat out all the rest because it's been their bumper for so long.

    Nah it would. I've spoken to a lot of Republicans that don't like trump a lot, but feel he best aligns with what they would like the government to do. Giving them a saner option would probably siphon off votes from trump

    Bro for real, I need some examples of in which ways are things politically and the general state of things worse. There may be some things that have slightly regressed, but I can only think of 1. In almost all ways things have bettered since the 40s.

    • Not everyone has the budget to openly spend 20K plus on a new vehicle, which means lower demand
    • Since not everyone will just buy a new car, companies need to make as much money per unit sold which means luxury cars make more sense These points together should make sense. They are marketing to people that have a lot of disposable income. If they have a lot of disposable income, they probably want a luxurious car. People with 200k+ annual salaries want to keep up with the Johnses so a 20k EV car they can easily afford doesn't look as cool compared to their neighbor's 80k+ car. So they want a 80k+ car with all the bells and whistles.

    The reason we stop China is not related to supply and demand so much as stopping companies that China has given unfair advantages to. If BYD was making cars without signifcant Chinese subsidies, then yes I would be bothered by these tariffs as well.

  • Resources for RESTful API Integration practice?

    Thanks I appreciate the advice. I'll look into those questions you've asked as some I can't answer confidently. The first 3 are more or less questions I have been asked in interviews.

    1
  • I’m doing interviews for companies that would involve API integrations. I’ve done a couple now where I was given some general API information (some intentionally unclear, some more clear) and I felt I didn’t do well. Mainly I was nervous, and felt very pressured just to understand how the different parts of the APIs interact with each other and should be interacted with. This is despite doing this for work and myself not feeling as nervous doing more common coding tests which I don’t do as much at work(thanks to doing examples on hackerrank, Leetcode helping me feel more comfortable). So what are the resources I should leverage to practice API integrations? How should I go about practicing? Especially considering that I do need to perform in a certain way during interviews.

    Having a unique issue where steam is not logging in for me. Its stuck on the logging pop up and stays like that. Is anybody else having this issue? I'm on Ubuntu, it was just working about 10 hours ago. I made and reverted a change thinking that's what caused it but that doesn't seem to be the case. I had to run steam through terminal using the command: steam -tcp and got it to work.

    I literally can't find anything. I have no idea where to look. On the dota client, I can only find stream from as recently as... TI3. I can't see any other competitions showing up. I don't see anything on youtube either that ALSO is a full match. NoobfromUA has matches, but they jump around. So my question is, where do I find streams with commentary? The reason is because ideally they'll go into the reason players are making certain decisions.

    For a while now, I've been unable to actually view the Volaris website while using Ubuntu 22.04 (In a previous version I believe as well). I've tried Brave, Firefox, and Chrome with the same results so I don't believe its browser specific (as most people use one of those 3 web browsers), which leads me to believe its Linux specific (as I doubt Volaris' website has been broken like this for over 2 years now). The website seems to load some background images, but then it stops loading. I'm basically unable to interact with the website in any way. Sometimes I'll get a captcha to even access the website. The workaround that I have found was actually going into the inspector and refreshing. This make the website function again while the inspector is open. Any ideas or suggestions?

    I’m glad this was passed. Only worry I have is that the the corporations will have the money to take a hit in California. Keep the amount of money they siphon from CA high, translating to higher costs to the CA businesses and, despite the fact that more of their businesses will struggle, use that as evidence that this law should be repealed.
