I believe that in general(, the more fibre you get whilst eating the better. So sure if you are getting most of your fibre during other meals and are about to eat a sandwich. It is better to also have fibre during that eating session.
As with anything it is just general, but less processed / higher fibre / whole grain food is better and (subjectively) much tastier. After only eating higher whole grain food, going back to the more processed version, you realise just how lacking it is (opinion)
How you drive your car is your responsibility. Navigation or not. If you kill someone or get them handicapped it's on you. Be considerate. Safety over everything else man.
> I've definitely had several close calls in traffic, with faceId requiring me to type the password, switch back to the maps app etc, since google maps can't stay open while the phone is locked like apple maps.
You’ve had several close calls due to using your phone when you shouldn’t, putting others at risk. That sounds exactly like the definition of unsafe driving (and the strongest plausible interpretation of what you said).
> I think it's a pretty serious dark pattern when you consciously make an app unsafe for your user.
Nobody at Apple is making an app unsafe, but you are choosing to make the roads unsafe by using an app and interacting with your phone while driving.
It’s not against HN guidelines to call out incredibly unsafe behavior, even if it is the context for complaining about API differences.
I don't think anyone was debating that. It's more that apple is deliberately making it harder for Google to build apps that in turn make it easier for the customer to drive safely, for reasons of platform control and, ultimately, profit.
You had vast swaths of experienced tradesman that were out of work, essentially, overnight. If you're ~23-28 years old, then you graduated at a time where there were literally no open positions in the construction industry, so you never had the opportunity to get into it. And if you're 29-35, you probably found a different career during the turmoil and never came back.
I saw this a lot first-hand. Any friends that graduated to become tradesman all switched careers, joined the military, or went to college during the 09-10. Being in their early 20s meant they were first in line for the cuts.
Not directed at you but I'm really surprised when I hear people say, "young aren't interested in trades." As if they seriously never connected the dots between "trade jobs disappeared" and "lack of people in trades".
Even if they verbalized their knowledge incorrectly they give you something, which if you chose, you could further test / replicate. In other words even if they're BSing they're still falsifiable, not so "magic models" when their publisher may not want them falsified
Some are better at it than others, and no doubt many are pretty bad at it, but I have yet to see a neural net explain to me, accurately or not, why it came to the decision it did.
Don't forget that we can listen to their attempt at verbalizing that knowledge and then, in turn, draw/verbalize our own sketchy conclusions....and so on.
And that is how it should be. Cars are great to go between cities fast, but inside cities they should behave like guests. Ironically, most drivers are guests to a city as well, coming from the suburbs. Pedestrians, cyclists and public transportation are the most efficient mode of transportation inside a city, and should be honored as such. In most medium to big Dutch cities this is the case, although there is always room for improvement.
> Pedestrians, cyclists and public transportation are the most efficient mode of transportation inside a city
The more I think about it, the more I think this is a myth. Everybody say they are the most efficient, but with regards to which metric? The only important metric is door-to-door time.
If I can walk a short distance to the bus stop, have a ride and then walk another short distance to my workplace, then I'm lucky and I don't even consider driving to work.
But if I have to drive to the nearest bus/train station (actually, to the parking nearest the station), then ride to the city centre, then a bus to the suburbs, then a walk in the suburbs... sorry, the car will make much sense, even with the traffic jams.
Pedestrians, cyclists and public transportation are the most efficient mode of transportation inside a city, and should be honored as such.
You're thinking of motorcycle/scooter. All the speed and independence of a car, while taking up only a fraction of road and parking space. And I can still haul lumber and groceries on my motorcycle.
"Cars are great to go between cities fast, but inside cities they should behave like guests"
No, especially in north american cities where you can walk few places, cares are another form of transit, like anything else.
Relatively few people actually ride bikes.
"Pedestrians, cyclists and public transportation are the most efficient mode of transportation inside a city" this is completely false in most situations, especially in North America.
You cannot reasonably walk 5Km to work every day and back. The vast majority of people live far from work.
Even with cities that have good public transit, it's not optimal in tons of cases.
Cars - or things like them - are going to stay. They are not going away.
You're talking specifically about North American cities, where everything is designed around automobile usage. And that is the problem the article talks about. It has been designed with this goal in mind so much, that it results in lots of pedestrian and cyclist deaths. Cities that are not designed like this are much compacter, so distances become smaller.
Commuting 5km by bicycle is fine, takes roughly 20 mins if the roads are decent. Using a tram or bus that has a decent frequency it will take roughly the same time, even including a few minutes of walking.
When I'm on a bike, I just hate public transport with a passion. Why, because some enlightened person decided it was a good idea for traffic lights to give priority to trams and busses. Net effect is waiting for a red light while the tram is still at a stop not even ready to cross the intersection.
Beyond that, give and take space within the rules. There is no need to go out of your way to make space for cars, but also don't be a jerk and take priority just because you are on a bike.
