For the last few months, I've used https://www.getcroissant.com/ which is ClassPass for co-working spaces. I like being able to bounce around different spaces, as well as use it in cities all over the world.
Interesting that they stated a passenger would have experienced a peak of 10 Gs, that seems excessively high for tourism. The space shuttle launches were around 3 Gs and Soyuz rockets around 4 Gs.
Human behavior maybe? I know it's almost no effort to install a new app, but Ofo and Lime were the first rideshare bikes in my town and since there are plenty of their bikes around I haven't bothered to install any of their newer competitors' apps.
A lot of skepticism here regarding profitability, safety, and regulation. I can’t remember the last product I’ve seen gain traction so insanely fast as these scooters have in LA/SD.

I recently stayed at a hostel, and when I first walked in I noticed how in the common area almost every single person was alone on their phone.

While school lunch is a slightly different situation, I think it still applies that without phones kids will be forced to communicate more directly with each other.
"The telescope zeroed in on two supermassive black holes: a beast as massive as four million suns". It's incredible thinking about how tiny and insignificant our planet is compared to the rest of the cosmos.
