It really is. I cancelled my subscription recently because streaming in the app rarely worked. The only way to watch anything is either download it first if I'm watching on my tablet or use Chromecast to cast via the app on my phone. It was the same bad experience across Google TV, Android and iOS devices.

1. You've just passed the cost to the unemployed developer. 2. Some of us do badly at standardised exams but are still highly competent and can prove it in other ways if given the chance. 3. If I fail an interview, I can reflect on where I did badly, study hard, and hopefully do better at the next interview days, weeks, or months later. A yearly standardised exam means I'm potentially unemployed for a whole year.

There's a comment in the article laughing that a playlist could out you as LGBTQ. In some cases it could. The name of the playlist or a playlist that only contains LGBTQ artists or songs could out you. Most of my music wouldn't indicate my gender identity or sexuality but a playlist of selected songs from those same artists might.

The type of music a person listen to has no definitive relation to gender identity/sexuality.

True, but at a workplace, or in certain family types it can easily start rumors; a lot of people have strong feelings about music, and who listens to what or why

That’s a rational argument.

Not everyone is rational.

Being part of specific cultures and communities definitely does though

On desktop it's near the download button. Click the 3 dots and it should have a option in the menu to make your playlist private or public.

I live in UK/EU and use an e-bike. There are a few steep roads near where live that I would never attempt on my old bike that are a breeze to ride with the e-bike. I like that it's peddle assist only. I still get the benefit of the exercise, but I'm not dripping with sweat when I travel to work/meetings.

I accept that but wouldn't it be better if we both had a choice that suits us? My city has hills that even my car has problems with.

Ebikes whip up hills with ease that lower power cars struggle on. The main limiting factor is they are limited to 25km/h by motor power but even that isn't too bad.

I have a 250watt ebike. I’d agree pretty powerful, I usually use it one the lowest setting which provides minimal boost, even up hills.

I’m in The us and the assist cuts out at 20mph. I get that since I’m sharing the roads and paths with other bikes/joggers and cars (and the ocational electric skateboard/kick scooter). I tend to ride much faster with the ebike and can see how this added power can get me into more trouble.

I really enjoy the boost though.

In my experience the danger zone when cycling on a mixed traffic bike path (pedestrians, slow bikes, etc) starts at 25 km/h, which is about the double of the speed of the casual or low range cyclist. 20 mph (32 km/h) is too fast for the other traffic. They don't expect to have so little time to react and get scared (even if the cyclist does everything and saw them since long before, they only have to keep doing what they were doing). Furthermore with a normal bike it's a waste of energy so when traffic increases I slow down because the average speed doesn't change much if I sprint between each group of pedestrians/slow bikes. I understand that with an engine you can do a lot more of stop and go but please don't scare people too much, it makes them hate all cyclists.
