I use mm, cm, m, km every day, so why not Mm! Definitely an appropriate unit for international-scale measurement, so it's weird we default to just using thousands of kilometres now that I'm thinking about it.

> megameter

Completely valid SI way to represent distance, but I have never seen anyone use this in my entire life! Out of curiosity, do you live in some location or work in some industry where this is used? If so, where?

Where is your source on this? From reading the wiki article for both her and her book:

> Vincent stated that, after the experiment, she gained more sympathy for the male condition: "Men are suffering. They have different problems than women have, but they don't have it better. They need our sympathy, they need our love, and they need each other more than anything else. They need to be together."[2][3]

> Due to her experience as a man during the making of Self-Made Man she ultimately had a depressive breakdown, leading Vincent to admit herself to a locked psychiatric facility, stating it was the high price she paid for "the burden of deception" of a separate identity and for trying to hold two gender identities in her mind.[13][14]

> Vincent died via assisted suicide at a clinic in Switzerland on July 6, 2022, aged 53. Her death was reported in August 2022.[3]

That sounds very different from "being a man was so difficult that it caused a breakdown."

Ah I see you're familiar with PowerPot by Atlassian(TM)

Very powerful potware, pity about how much soil it leaks.

Never occurred to me that Americans wouldn't have a common group chat app everyone uses. Do Americans not all use iMessage, since pretty much everybody has an iPhone there?

*not her actual first and last name to be clear, not doxxing her on HN.

Anyway, very cool splat, fair play

Anyone else find the left side of the map causes the framerate to drop down to 15ish for some reason? Very odd, completely smooth otherwise. Firefox Android browser.

This isn't a space I know too much about, but even if we all start using quantum-safe encryption for everything today, won't the arrival of quantum computers that can break traditional encryption not still be a big deal?

Given that intelligence agencies, tech companies and various bad actors have been storing encrypted data for a long time, hoping to decrypt when (if?) that day comes?

Maybe. Personally I'd say it'd take at least 5.

'Might have been'? You say 'might have been' after you bought a Twix with all the money that ghost slowly put in the vending machine? For shame.

Would make for fun GPS instructions. "In one hundred metres take a left turn onto The Wrong Street".

Yeah was thinking of going down that route, but I like the simplicity of just having it there there as a mailto link when you land. Based on Mike's response I might try it!
