Haha probably better to keep the tube closer to the surface of the Earth but otherwise yes.

If only we had a series of pneumatic tubes connecting all our homes, you could order something online and have it pop up right next to you minutes later.

What do all the people downvoting it based on the title assume it means?

Traditionally both parties had to agree to get divorced if there had not been some “grounds” for the divorce that could be proved in court. That’s why the classic business for old timey private detectives was proving that their client’s spouse was committing adultery in order to legally justify a divorce.

Yeah I actually came across this statistic in this article about those guys wanting to make divorce much harder, which linked to the study: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/05/no-fault-divorce-gop-republicans-mainstream-podcast-dudes/

Any time a company is pushing a change this hard I know it’s not something I want.

Thanks. Alternatively with the NY Mag you can just paste the link into a private browser window and read unlimited articles - just make sure to close and then open a new private window for each one.

So trashy

Like you want the guest list in the title?

I’m a huge fan of both his novels and his blogging.

Yeah I think it’s pretty much just in NYC for now, with a big launch in Minneapolis in progress. Hopefully they get to Denver soon!

It has already been done, that’s what the article is about: https://drivers.coop/

Currently based in NYC, but getting ready for a big launch in Minneapolis in response to the incumbent rideshare companies pulling out of the city in protest of increased rideshare regulation. Big opportunity to seize some marketshare without needing that much startup capital if your better financed competitors are removing themselves from that part of the market.

Yeah exactly - the proposal here is to have a driver-owned worker cooperative run the app.

The offshoot running Android would hopefully just be called “Android”

The breakup this is referring to is splitting off the Android operating system from the rest of Google.

Wow you are unpleasant

I don’t think I can agree with you there. Solar power is an incredibly valuable technology, in many ways more so than nuclear. If we were replacing this nuclear energy with increased solar I’d have no complaint. The problem is solar is already growing as fast as it can with or without shutting down any nuclear plants, so what it’s actually replaced with as discussed in this article is fossil fuels. Hopefully the solar curve can catch up eventually and shut down those fossil fuels as well, but it’s ridiculous to ditch nuclear before then.

Hard to imagine how anyone who’s concerned about climate change could see shutting down a carbon-free energy source as a “green win”.

Not cool, reverse this

Probably just a minor processing error in your sound driver and nothing to worry about. I think I have had a similar experience with a particular white noise machine with hearing some slightly patterned sound when there wasn’t really a pattern. If it’s bothering you or increasing can’t hurt to go see a doctor (well can’t hurt too bad as long as you’re insured…) and get their input.
