If you’re in the centre of my city, it really is quite lovely on a summer day. Masses of people, but their sound is calm and not that noisy.
Granted, it’s not a huge city on the scale of NYC, but it would still be terribly noisy if 10% of those people had been in cars.
I believe there was an experiment making weather data more accessible through the URL bar, e.g. when people start searching for weather there, which could be useful. Presumably, telemetry like this can help determine which of such features to prioritise.
I could indeed also imagine ads, but then not based on keeping a file on you with all your interests and sharing that with advertisers, but by locally choosing between a couple of categories of ads and showing the ones that are related to your current search, without anyone having to know what you’re actually searching for.
I support anonymous telemetry collected by a small non-profit that helps protect our freedom. Not big tech.
That would be a terrible AI.
It’s technically for profit, but it has a single shareholder: the Foundation. There are no greedy shareholders that can get rich off of that profit.
Of course, employees/board members can be richly compensated, but that’s independent of for-/non-profit status.
From what I read in their blog post, nobody is keeping your search history data. It only tracks how often people in general search for things in specific categories, so nobody will be able to learn anything about you specifically from that data.
Specifically, it’s this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courage_the_Cowardly_Dog
Yeah, I’m fairly sure if you turned this specific instance into a fietsstraat, it would just be a regular car street. Although given that this is a 60 km/h road, I do think that the next scheduled maintenance work is not unlikely to turn it into a proper separated bike lane?
Alternatively, let the leaves lie - which is beneficial to insects as well. And lets your neighbours enjoy life :)
But a suggestion from the post you’re replying to is using an electric one.
Travel on foot, however, continues to lead mobility within the municipality with 53%, followed by those made on public transit, with 30%.
Presumably a trip is the activity in between being at location A and later being at location B.
Check the full channel if you liked it, it’s great.
I knew the song, but reading the YT comments it looks like there’s some recent lore I wasn’t aware of.
Especially if it’s a Tom Cardy song that I somehow hadn’t seen yet. Wouldn’t have wanted to miss it - sharing the real party guest stereotype.

It’s a good thing we’re no longer this narrow-minded, right? Right?

Less time bad screen, more time good screen.
Make a rule that one of you has to propose three options, and the other has to pick one of those three. Your partner can choose which role they want.
It’s a bit like telling two children that one can cut the cake, but the other gets first pick - but it’s a hack to combat your own (collective) indecisiveness.
There’s always butt hair.
