  • Denmark checking in. Not unusual for people in the city not to have a car. I’m happy with my bike that I use every workday to cycle into the city centrum in all weather - I love dressing myself up in rain boots, rain paints and rain jacket and be on my way in heavy rain or snow, feeling like I’m in an episode of Deadliest Catch

  • Are there any common household items or products that you think are designed incredibly poorly?
  • Stove vent hoods that don’t actually vent outside are fucking stupid

    Some places you can’t (for whatever reason) install a proper ventilator. Then these with carbon filter will remove some things. But yes, they are far inferior to the full blow vents.

  • Are there any common household items or products that you think are designed incredibly poorly?
  • Don’t know what you’re using but the tests of the ones available to me all shows very weak washing performance, some on par with washing only with water.

    Explanation is, in short, that there is not enough washing detergent in the sheets.

  • Amazon thought it could compete with Steam because it was so much larger than Valve, but Prime Gaming's former VP admits that 'gamers already had the solution to their problems'
  • Valve is managed by “everyone” (not all people are good at managing), everyone can choose what they want to work on being exiting projects or new ones, the company only hires senior people and anyone in the company can be part of the hiring process, they use their version of stack ranking where your peers rank your performance, the top of Valve does not want to be political even if the employees want to.

    This causes Valve to mostly hire the kind of people already employed there (white men). High pressure on performance has become more of a turn down for especially women.

    They probably run the company the way Elon Musk would run it - on paper it’s cool, but humans being humans with biases makes it not so cool.

  • German Court: Tesla's Autopilot "Unsuitable for Use" Due to Phantom Braking
  • While looking for my latest car, I tested a Kia Ceed. In the 10 minute test drive, it phantom braked 3 times. All the dealer about it and he said “better safe than sorry”. Ended up with a Skoda that once in a while slows down on adaptive cruise control when the car in front of me taking the off-ramp, while the motorway is turning left. Emergency braking seems to only do its think when there’s a reason - so far the car and I have slammed the break at the same time, every time there’s been a reason.
