I really enjoyed the special features (3d model viewers etc) you added to this article. It's a great presentation and an interesting read.


> The city recently surpassed Amsterdam in a widely respected ranking of bike-friendly cities and is now second only to Copenhagen, which is more than twice its size.

I visited Copenhagen last year, and while it's a lovely city I have absolutely no idea how it is ranked number one cycling city in the world. Mark Wagenbuur, cited in this article, is also sceptical: https://bicycledutch.wordpress.com/2018/11/27/is-copenhagen-...


You're not made of sugar.


As my mother used to say when I complained about rain haha, I say the same to my kids now :)


Can't get Dutchier than "Wij zijn niet van suiker" :)


Old Man Yells At Cloud


yup, an actual cloud CDN for serving convenient javascript libraries and webfonts and muddying his ideal world.


And here I was hoping I could finally buy a USB powered flamethrower.


This shouldn't be taken too far out of context. It's clear Nintendo doesn't mean this as a cutting critique of crowdfuding, just more riffing on Wario's characterisation as an idiotic selfish asshole.


Yeah, this is very much of the "Epic Movie" shallow parody school, i.e. it's not actually referencing anything or related to anything or meaningful, it's just saying "This exists! Eh? Eh? How about that? It exists!"

I'm glad the site exists, because I suspect kids will find it funny, I'm just a bit baffled as to why it's front page here.


Wait, you didn't like "Epic Movie"?


Isn't it weird how whenever there's a massive selloff of Bitcoin, Mt. Gox 'experiences a DDoS attack' and closes trading???


It's other people that have blamed this on a DDoS attack. MtGox themselves have explicitly denied it.

""" First of all we would like to reassure you but no we were not last night victim of a DDoS but instead victim of our own success! """"


Success for an exchange that makes money on trades whether the price is going up or down is a very different beast to success for someone losing half the value of their investment...


Though I believe the idea is that Tent be more like an email server: email hosts are able to offer their own features and interfaces, yet remain interoperable with one another.

Most people don't host their own email service, but most people do benefit from using email – and the best part of it is that there's no monolithic Email Inc. that could someday go bankrupt and bring everyone's emailing days to a close.
