Looking at a few spots around me, it seems it includes some hotspots in public buildings and museums and so on. So on the map it shows e.g. 30 hotspots in a museum, which seems OK as you probably need that many for coverage indoors with the amount of people typically there.


It also should be connected to the national rail network so long distance trains go there directly. It greatly reduces time to switch trains when you're not directly from the nearest city.

Vienna did this with their airport.


Yep, Paris CDG has a small version of this (high speed trains only, but this allows for connections between planes and rail to be made) which is getting expanded with a link to the regional network of the region right to the north of the airport.


Only if the airport is onithe way. Overall the city center is more important so don't slow down trains for people who don't want to be at the airport.


Switzerland also has this, for example there is a direct train from Zurich Airport to Geneva Airport.


It is (in theory). There is a via rail track and stop < 1 km away.


That's inadequate. I don't want to drag my luggage around the front of the terminal looking for the shuttle bus to the station, wait for it to arrive, figure out paying for the bus (if it isn't free), then wait for a train.

The railway line should go underneath the airport terminal building. If that's not possible, a covered walkway is OK. Many significant European airports are like this.

If a connection on medium/long distance trains isn't realistic, at least there should be a metro (or whatever the 'best' transport the city has, e.g. light rail).

It's surprisingly readable if I zoom into the images. On 100% it's too small for me, but a modern computer or smartphone screen is probably not the use case.


I find the all uppercase version to be more or less readable when zoomed in -- although I don't think the Declaration of Independence was really referring to "Nature's DOD" (the D and G are nearly identical) but I find the lower case version to be completely unreadable.


That's a bit simplistic. Rent is 100% gone, but the interest payments of the mortage is also gone. Plus additional cost to buy is about 10% in Germany and you have oppertunity costs on the down payment.


Prices depend a bit on the region but here it's around 0,26 €/0,28 $.


You got an extension cord, please?


I like the gestures on the magic mouse, especially the left/right scrolling. I use a Logitech MX Master at home and scrolling side to side never works well for me.

For ergonomics, both are seem to be fine for the way I hold my mouse.


I wasn't able to npm install something because Cloudflare decided the IP I was currently assigned has to solve a captcha before downloading node packages.


Only US specific I think. In the EU, everyone uses WhatsApp, Facebook messenger or some other App depending on the country.


Every thread like this, people pop up in the comments and say, "Nobody in my country texts at all, we all use XApp," but amusingly, XApp varies by thread/country/day. Sometimes it's WhatsApp, sometimes Signal, sometimes Telegram, sometimes LINE, sometimes WeChat, sometimes Facebook, sometimes something else.


I'm doing the same for the 5 user limit on GitLab currently.

But the pricing is just too steep for me to justify setting up, e.g. an extra user for some automated tasks.


You shouldn't need a user account for automated tasks, that's what webhooks and deploy keys are for.


I don’t know if this issue has been resolved, but as late as four years ago, GitLab didn’t have a notion of a service user. If you wanted a server to authenticate and pull from a private repo, you had to use a licensed account to do so. This meant your 5 user tier became a 4 user tier.


Project access tokens (https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/settings/project_acc...) is what you need and they have been around for 2+ years


AFAIK iOs Apps have to work without additional permissions, otherwise they get rejected.


A lot of apps “need” it. Consider AR games for example
