Anyone knows a good lightweight self-hosted alternative to GitHub?
I use gitea, it works fine.

You don't need physical newspapers, but if you want good journalism you should definitely pay for your news.

Where to turn to if I need books that are paywalled behind overly expensive academic portals?
Depending on where you live, you might find them in a university library.

Both exists, and salt can have both. Fluor in the salt is quite specific to Germany and a few other countries though.

Unless you plan to retire very early, you should try to learn guitar long before retirement. Learning something, especially music, is much harder when you get older.

For trains and subways, you can build the stations slightly above the rest of the tracks so that a train will naturally break when reaching the station, and accelerate when leaving. Efficiently storing energy in potential gravitational form. I'm not sure how frequently this is done, but at least in my city the subway does this at most stations.

It could be owned by, like, multiple people? Also, a lot of companies in the world, and especially the ones managing costly infrastructure assets, are owned by states (which are a form of "multiple people").

EVs
Reply in thread
I have two kids and use a bike (for ecological reasons). I realize I'm incredibly lucky my area has very good and safe biking infrastructure. Had to upgrade to a electric cargo bike when the second one came about, but I don't regret at all, it's more'confortable and safer for the kids. I do own an old ICE car, which I considered replacing with a new EV, but since I drive maybe a few hundreds of kilometers per year, I figured it'd make more sense to keep the old diesel than to replace it.

EVs are booming but electric bikes are really cutting emissions
Reply in thread
100 is a bit much, a good ebike can cost several thousands. IMHO the main driver for adoption is the availability of dedicated infrastructure. I can afford an EV but chose to use a bike because the infrastructure is excellent where I live and it allows me to avoid traffic and congestion.

It also checks periodically that you're in control of the wheel, or else will disengage.
Disengaging autopilot when it detects you are not in control of the wheel sounds a bit dangerous.

Child care costs more than a mortgage payment or rent almost everywhere in the U.S.: ‘There is no escaping it’
I don't know how it works in the US but isn't it normal that child care cost are higher than rent or mortgage? Unless you count as child care older kids (like above 3), you can't expect a single worker to take care of more than 3 babies, and rent should be around 1/3 of income. So typical cost of daycare for 1 kif should be about typical cost of housing for 1 worker, no? For reference here in France, my mortgage is about 1300€/month and daycare (full time, private) for one child is 1400€/month, (of which about 700€ is paid by the state).

The launch costs of Galileo satellites were much cheaper than 400 millions per satellite. The budget you mention covers the global development, deployment and continuous operation of the project.
