I actually have one of those "youth clubs" close to where I live (also close to a university). It's this huge, modern building full of what looks like hotel rooms from the outside. Only ever saw female teenagers and older ladies there, but yeah it's hard to get a feeling from the outside of what it is about. For a long time I imagined it was like a correction house or something like that.

Thank's for the context!

He was huge in the 80's and 90's amd did some big scale acts like disappearing a whole bridge and stuff like that.

The idea is not to get the power back to earth, but to have power on the moon. Without power, you'll never have humans living there.

Gen Z are adolescents or young adults now. Gen Alpha are the little kids. We're getting old.

And for businesses, VR simply has not proven to have a cost benefit worth even the initial capital investment, without even taking into account ongoing IT costs due to damaged equipment.

That's just not true. Companies of all sizes are using VR for onboarding and training with much success and a huge return on investment. There are also a lot of location-based and VR arcades making a nice profit.

VR may never go mainstream, but for businesses there are a lot of use cases for which it is valuable.

More infrastructure for cars = even more cars on the road, as simple as that.

You want to fix a gridlocked city with awful traffic? You start taking lanes out and making them exclusive for public transport, and you build big sidewalks and a cycling lane. Now you can get where you want to go in 10 minutes using public transport or bike, or you can sat in traffic for an hour - magically, you'll see traffic getting better and less cars on the road.

It's not as if this is some mistery - it has been done in many cities around the world and it works. The alternative is the american way, "just add one more lane", and you guys live with the results.

In my country, besides right on red being illegal (having never been legal), traffic lights themselves are seen as a thing of the past and most of them were replaced with roundabouts decades ago.

You're being downvoted, but that's exactly what many europeans cities have been doing for many years now. When going into the city center by car is the worst option, people choose other ways to go.

Cars are seen as a status symbols in a lot of places, instead of as the utilitarian things they are. Where I'm from people will see you in a better or worse light depending on what you drive, for sure. Most young people get first in debt not for college, but for the 200.000km second or third hand car imported from Germany.

I read this as "40-70% of VR developers don't know what they are doing". What needs to be done to avoid motion sickness has been known for a long while now.

When I changed from Chrome to Firefox a year ago or so, Firefox imported Chrome's saved passwords, along with bookmarks and everything else.
