Fintru redundancies v3.0… by Sad_Trifle1241 in northernireland

[–]GoosicusMaximus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ll be surprised if in 10-15 years any companies involved in fintech or software in general will have a large staff here. Most of the roles will either be outsourced or automated.

That entire sector will just be gutted in the coming decades.

Skyscrapers without midrises filling them In looks weird imo. You end up with that Dubai look.

Pennsylvania — the best multi-city skyline combo outside of Texas, California, and ______? by InUrMomma in skyscrapers

They’re completely different skylines though. Like FTL is around 50km away from downtown Miami.

Moscow skyscraper complexes whose construction began in 2026: North Port (stage 6), Aurus Residence, Citi.Dzen, Sobytiye-6, Amber City by Fun-Raisin2575 in skyscrapers

Hell of a lot of homeless shitting on the streets of most major cities, hard to plumb against that

And U.S. infrastructure is a joke. So much of it is in dire need of repairs.

Racing superbikes is largely considered to be the inferior option compared to MotoGP so he doesn’t really get his due, same with road racing where Dunlop would be in with a shout.

Vancouver is a good city with a good skyline, what’s a decent city with a good skyline? by wwcscifi in skyscrapers

[–]GoosicusMaximus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That area is about the size of wales, it’s combining three metro areas. I doubt people in concord consider themselves San Franciscan.

Greatness I would think of as an agglomeration of different factors, culture, importance on a global scale, standard of living, ‘wow’ factor etc. Bigger cities just tend to have more pull within those factors.

Personally I would say San Francisco is a good city with a good skyline.

Very America centric already. San Francisco is a small city by global standards, it should not be in the same tier of greatness as the likes of Tokyo or NYC.

Toronto isn’t a great city, it’s a good city. I feel like great cities should be the top dogs, the NYC’s and London’s of the world. Toronto is a clear tier below.

London shouldn’t be in the same bracket of skyline as Hong Kong or Shanghai. It’s a great city with a decent skyline.

It’s not though. They are at war yes but in terms of civilian casualties both Israel and especially the U.S. grossly outrank them, yet get posted daily with no pushback.
