The only IQ score I’d be comfortable knowing for myself is it it’s 100. Perfectly average straight down the middle. I want to feel like my fate isn’t enhanced or hindered by my intelligence
Re:The force that shapes everything around us: Parking on Wednesday July 19, 2023 @12:58AM (#36782274)
Increasing the amount of parking spaces seems to me like it would further exacerbate the problem of car centrism. Houston will often preach “just one more highway lane. That’ll reduce congestion” but it does the opposite. If we want to reduce the amount of parking, we need to make the alternatives to driving more attractive. That is - investing in public transit, bike paths, and cities that allow anyone to walk no more than 20 minutes to a grocery store.

Wikipedia’s staying power gives me hope that non-profits can succeed in this age of dopamine driven fast clicks

Using HACK rn and its great ;) I’m new to HN since using reddit less and this app is really easy and snappy to use. I particularly enjoy the “best comments and posts” feature. If I could offer one feature for the future, would it be possible to specify the range of time to view best posts from? Love using the app nonetheless!
