Why not get a significantly cheaper (and much nicer for reading in my opinion) e-ink ereader?

The capacity limit is the number of tracks. There are 4 AC and 2 DC tracks on the line out of Euston and they are also used for freight trains as well as the Bakerloo line.

Using "he" as default is just as much of a political stance as using "they" as default. The fact that whoever rejected this PR thinks that pronouns are "political" gives me a pretty good guess as to their overall political leanings.

I find it shocking that this has been known about for so long, but only now that there was a TV drama about it is it actually being addressed. It came up in the news and I thought "what, I remember hearing about this 5 years ago, surely it's been sorted out by now?"

Presumably they could ban the sites that host these non-compliant browsers (whack-a-mole for sure), and/or make it illegal to have one installed on your computer.
Re:WeWork Warns of Possible Bankruptcy

My company recently moved from a wework equivalent to a much cheaper serviced office. A few less of the flashy features and perhaps a slightly less prestigious address (5 minutes down the road) for a third of the price.

It's probably there in the fine print somewhere. Maybe if it was required to be very clearly marked on the packaging like cigarette warning labels.

Re:UK retail electricity prices hit -19p/kWh today

The most common tariff that offers these prices is capped at 100p/kWh (about 3-4x higher than the standard price). I've been on it for about 3 months and I never saw anything higher than the standard price.
Re:Ask HN: Alternatives to Reddit

Not particularly. I spun up accounts on quite a few different lemmy instances yesterday when certain instances were getting hammered by traffic spikes. Things seem to have settled down now, but it seems like jumping to a new account is very easy. I worry that it will make it harder to deal with trolls and spammers though if they can just create a new account on another instance at will.

Is it easier to capture carbon from decomposition than directly from the atmosphere? If so that could be how this works.

Re:What free, ad-supported Uber rides might look like

Public transport is covered in ads, has a much higher ridership than rideshares (i.e. has many more eyeballs to sell, and much lower per-user costs) and isn't even close to being profitable from ad revenue.

That's your choice. I would love to be within 15 minutes walk of my office, but I can't realistically afford it, so the choice of a longer commute is made for me.
