I wonder what the reaction will be from the companies hiring Google's advertising services. On the one hand, Google is clearly ensuring that they get as much money out of the deal as possible, but it also must lead to more people seeing the advertised brand, likely even encouraging it's sales. The author suggests that this is a bad deal for companies working with Google, as well as Google's users, but I can't help but think that the companies purchasing ads from Google are coming out ahead on this one.

Don't worry bro, if we make a terribly designed system that directly benefits our bottom line, we will totally fix it and make it fair. Trust us.

You should consider actually reading the posts you are replying to.

An emoji or two are fine, but this abomination straight up reduces readability of the stories. Honestly makes me think it's made up by a 10 year old.

Only appreciating the big flashy outcomes of science is exactly how you end up with no science funding. Iterating and improving something is important work that should be applauded.

How certain could we be of where these clouds would fall once they were created?

Honest to god doublethink right here.

Nobody is arguing for banning personal vehicle outright. We should just stop attempting to plan ultra-dense urban environments around the least space efficient transportation options. Many public transportation systems already operate a 'park and ride' system by which more remote users are able to park their vehicle at a distant hub and then ride public transportation into more dense areas.

Also, assuming that a future transportation system must look exactly like the one we have today - but bigger, is short sighted. If more people are needing to have a personal vehicle option in an infrequent manner, services to provide those vehicles will be required. Just because you personally can't make it work tomorrow doesn't mean that the goal of robust public transport in urban areas is infeasible.

Party-based RPGs like Baldur's Gate or Pillars of Eternity. I absolutely love this style of game, but it feels like there are precious few titles to choose from. Anyone know of any hidden gems?

Yes I've seen this bug as well. Very strange, and definitely feels like a vulnerability of some sort.
