Thanks for a good chuckle!

Sorry, it's rare people are not asking for trouble here :)

I mean that any (reasonable) distance travelled at 90km/h will have consumed less fuel than that travelled at 30km/h; given the same car is used, reasonable gear is selected, etc, of course. If there is less fuel consumed, then, naturally, the emissions are lower as well, since that's just a byproduct of combustion.

While travelling at 90km/h will consume more fuel per unit of time than at 30km/h, the speed increase makes up for that.

You're arguing something else.

It's a direct correlation. Emissions come from fuel burnt. Less fuel - lower emissions.

Fair enough on the part in bold.

As someone who lives in London, I can say it does come with a caveat - traffic system here are set up by chimpanzees. It makes no sense, none of the three groups - pedestrians, cyclists or drivers - get prioritised. None of the lights are interconnected, so all they bring is annoyance for everyone. I'm an occasional pedestrian, cycling commuter and a (mostly) weekend driver.

TLDR - no wonder the study found that.

I don't really understand this. Air quality is not affected if it's electric cars. If it's about ICE cars - then, in general, efficiency goes up till ~90km/h.

I feel like the limit was lowered for a fake reason and is now suggested to be brought back up for a bad one.

I think looking for a parking space in what is, effectively, a lorry - is a bit of a waste of energy. It will only fit into >=4 spots anyway, might as well just stop wherever you need. You'll be a hated by everyone anyway.

Not taking a piss - are they legal in EU to drive on a B cat license?

That is something I've already run into at my previous workplace. The name escapes me atm...

Inatances self report these stats. All you have to do is a single db query and all of a sudden you have 100 million MAU.

There is no AI.

What's sold as an expert is actually a delusional graduate.

Filled in the survey. A few notes:

  • Some of my answers make no sense on the surface - like the "experiment with new technology" block (4 questions). I've answered "Agree" to all of them, because I have taken time into account, which is not represented on the questions. Long story short - I do love experimenting with new tech, I'm almost always the first one to try something among my peers, but at the same I never blindly jump in (I'm hesitant) as most of the "new technology" is just
    • Someone repackaging foss and relabeling it
    • Some LLM bullshit
    • An inferior product to what already exists

There are also scenarios where I have already found something that's the best solution for my case, so I won't even bother looking at something new, even if it might be the best thing since sliced bread for someone else.

  • TIme and effort setting up/maintaining (4 questions). It doesn't take much time nor effort to set anything up now, but it did when I was starting out initially. I knew very little and a bunch of concepts hadn't clicked, yet, so it took me days to set up Nextcloud and about half a year (on and off. Probably a week or so if it were all squeezed together) for email.

  • The performance and intent to use in the future questions are weird - they feel like the same question, just leveling off in intensity. I've selected the same answer for all of them. They probably should've been a single question with agree/disagree options swapped for intensity levels.

Good luck with your PhD!

Admittedly, I have a fairly serious bias against Microsoft, so it's unlikely they'll every say much I can trust; but I am genuinely surprised their marketing department didn't even bother coming up with another name to try selling this atrocity.

Yea, it feels an awful lot like VC funded businesses - they lure you in with low pricing, bankrupt and buy out the competition and then hold you by the balls.
