And when it isn’t cash only it’s a completely random grab bag between credit cards, transit cards, QR codes, app payment and e money. Just hope you have the supported option of like 20 options.
Ok, well maybe they have a long pipeline of projects ready to be built, but they are getting things built. I went with a friend who was there like 5 years prior and he said everything looked totally different since the last time he was there. I don’t know about the planning process but even if that’s slow that’s still way better than most places where it also takes ages to get something started, takes ages to get something built, and they don’t have enough projects going through the planning process in the first place.
I like it too, the old one was too detailed which makes it stand out too much. Icons need to work in a lot of contexts so simpler is almost always better.
You might like them in isolation but icons need to exist in a lot of uis and contexts so having an overly detailed one will make it look weird when juxtaposed with what’s around it.
That’s true, it fit in with the trends of the time. I guess part of my feeling is that I never actually liked skeumorphic design so I’ve been happy that flat caught on. There was a period where it did get too flat, but I like the middle ground we’re at now.
Our dryer wasn’t working very well so we got a temporary one for $100 from Craigslist, but turns out it runs great and we have no desire to replace it.

What I think is ironic is that Star wars also has the silliest lore (which I like, I think it allows it to be more fun and creative), so when the fandom fights about it it’s over totally ridiculous stuff.
It’s not surprising. If you’re first to adopt something by the time you realize how it could be improved you’re locked into what you did. It happens with all kinds of early adoption. I noticed it a lot in Japan which picks up tech really quickly but as a result has been left with a bunch of crufty old systems. Like they were way ahead on contactless payment, but now they have a bunch of complex and confusion payment systems and lots of them don’t support credit cards while the rest of the world just has contactless credit cards.
I’ve used electric kettles in the US and Europe and they’re barely slower. I think the difference is overstated. It’s often used as the reason that fewer Americans have kettles but I think the real reason is just that Americans drink fewer hot beverages other than coffee, and most people have a machine for that.
While 120v is safer for shocks I think the greater safety reason for 240 is lower fire risk which is more common and dangerous that shocks in either system.
Keep in mind they have zero Linux experience so I doubt they’ll be needing packages that are too obscure for mint, and I wouldn’t recommend trying to run windows software in Linux to a novice.
Good cops do exist. The problem is that when a good cops does something like this it makes a kid really happy, but when there’s a bad cop somebody fucking dies. It’s not that there aren’t enough good cops, it’s that any amount of bad cops is too many and instead of purging them the system protects them. I’d rather have 100% neutral competent cops than 99% good cops and 1% bad cops who are protected by the system to continue murdering people.
What's some amazing technology they have in Japan that's very normal to them but would blow our minds here in the US and western world?
