Seeing the increased number of injuries (probably due to ebikes) I have to agree. Making it mandatory is going to be politically very unpopular though.

I think forcing the Dutch to wear helmets is like forcing Americans to give up the second amendment. It’s completely rational but you’ll get a crapload of resistance. Edit: for myself I would not mind…

Thanks for insulting 99% of the Dutch. We have great bike infrastructure and the need for helmets is way less.

There are some tools like https://doorstop.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ that streamline it.…

This is super interesting and incredibly difficult. In some regulated environments, like medical devices, you MUST keep track of requirements in your product's technical documentation. I work on …

Yes, and we do try to prioritize work on data exporting :)

We outsource a lot of the marketing tech and website related work so marketing is not blocked by our own development team. We don’t see marketing tech and our Wordpress website as our “secret sauce”. …

I’ve thought of setting up a retreat center in southern Italy for tech teams. Like: take your team and work together remotely for a week. The center will have high end equipment, good furniture, white…

There are literally zero hills in Amsterdam. Some sloped surfaces maybe, but no hills.

Curious why “who is where” is unrelated to safety? You mean it doesn’t affect the signaling?

Haha, it depends on where you put the emphasis. I would say AWS is cloud services that happen to use data centers under the hood.

Cloud AND colocation? That’s not an AWS competitor, that’s a boring data center with some software on top of it.

You have a weird definition of easy :D But I agree with the 0.1%.

An offer typically involves a dollar amount of equity. Not a fixed number of shares / options.

Plenty of things you do are “like an animal”. I cycle in Amsterdam all the time, and while rain is unpleasant it is really not the end of the world.

Can't get it to work well with flask route annotations but the basics are really great!

Heh, it's been trending upward for centuries with lots of ups and downs though. For the last 3 decades it's been mostly upwards. But now the trend might become different. I fear for the fu…

Spending way too many resources and making it seem fine. Driving 100s of km every week like it's normal. Flying 10x per year. Turning the heat up in winter while wearing a t-shirt. This is an age…

Well, the beauty of aeropress is that you don't have to rinse the inside of the cilinder every time. It cleans itself. Most of the time I just clean the rubber. Also, storing them separated takes…

If you just push it all the way through, the tip of the seal won't be compressed. No effort to do it like that.

I'm CTO of easee, an online eye exam and have been involved in some US market research. It's a rapidly developing field and a lot of regulations are a gray area or different per state. E.g. …

Wow, that's more serious than what I was expecting and beyond my limited ophthalmology knowledge. Glad that you managed to find a solution.

Cool, that's a great hacker approach! Fine-tuning like this isn't economical for eye doctors, and 99.5% of the population isn't interested but it will give you the best results. Just ch…

Eye exams are not easy or one size fits all. The machine does objective refraction, which is a different and more error prone method than subjective refraction. Also for multifocals you'll need a…

Afaik you need a valid prescription by law in the US. This might not be strictly enforced or verified by the retailers.

Do you mean contacts or glasses?

Ok, that sounds kind of whacky but very intriguing. Can I ask what age you are and if you measured your current accommodation power (like: how many diopters can you accommodate now)?

About the water part: Historically you are completely right, but with the crazy amount of global shipping in the 21st century, I think lots of sea impacts would be detected and/or sink a couple o…

There's still lots of pollution coming off of tires, but that's just a health & environmental hazard, not a climate hazard.

Switzerland is 0% of the EU population because Switzerland is not in the EU.
