>what we currently have is good for me, where I live. There are many areas in the city where it would be impractical not to have a car

So, i see this as a bit myopic though. The combination of the rising developing countries and climate change mean that fuel should slowly increase in price over our lifetimes. We ought to prepare. Providing a network of about 10% of streets to be effectively car-free is a great way to plan for that, while allowing people to use cheaper (see: wealth building) alternatives in the meanwhile.

I don't see the car going away in our lifetime, nor would i want it to, but as a low-car person myself, i feel that people should be able to bike most anywhere in town without needing to wear a helmet. Children should be able to bike to school. Grandmas should be able to bike. People don't bike because it's legitimately dangerous, even under current paradigms. It shouldn't be. A few slow streets and some bike lanes is vastly insufficient.
Mostly from dust you breathe in, or contaminated water or food. And in one famous case, injected by a secret agent using an umbrella.
The Xantia can have the classic hydraulic suspension (hydropneumatique) identical to the Citroën BX or the Hydractive II system with an electronic calculator on board and more "spheres". The XM had the first Hydractive system.
Pretty much each statement in your post is incorrect. Nuclear plants produce tiny amount of waste, which we know what to deal with. Amount of fuel if you count thorium is enough for many millennia. And solar can not possibly replace other forms of energy production, not in a state it's in. I don't know why you are spewing misinformation, but you are clearly not going to solve climate crisis with that attitude
Democracy dies in darkness.
Christ you sound insufferable. Sorry for your kids.
I don't think a few dollars here and there is not really indicative of a huge difference in anything but product/marketing strategies and consumer preferences. Banks have a lot of different fees that vary not only between continents, but between banks that literally sit across the street from each other.
i’m not at all anti-nuclear but i’m not sure what you mean by

> most nuclear accidents are entirely hypothetical.

i also agree that fossil fuels kill a lot of people as well, only in slow-motion and we have some form of weird disconnect when something happens in slow-motion vs quick.

but again, nuclear accidents are not hyperbole nor are they hypothetical. again, i’m not anti-nuclear, i suspect we need a mix of strong decentralized renewables such as solar/wind and a filler of nuclear.

i’m no expert on nuclear accidents but my cynical take is that the building companies/orgs probably cut corners on safety in order to save money. and maybe that could be a area to improve safety—significantly overbuild on safety features. like i said tho, absolutely not an expert.
How do we communicate to civilisations in the present how bad the emissions from goal and gas plants are? https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2021/12/wh...

Because we appear to have no sense of proportion, or trade-offs.
I'll wait until those activists will start falling out of the windows. Should not take long with the way things are going. Same shit in Canada. All because we do not really have rights. They are bestowed on us by our masters and can be taken away.
In the static case, the Kalman filter converges to a fixed (frequency domain) filter after running for a while. The type of frequency behaviour depends on the system properties. The filter it converges to is the Wiener filter for that system.
Clearly, someone need to build/port an RP game builder (EasyRPG?) to AS/400 RPG.
I don't think there's anything good or insightful in Linus' approach to version numbers. I think he just doesn't care about it at all, and so why not have some fun.

In my view version numbers either have a significance (semver & co.) or just get rid of it and use something derived from a date. Because why is it 5.19 then 6.0 and not sqrt(2) and tomorrow we try negative numbers?

No software depends on a specific kernel version number, thankfully, so as a sysadmin I'd rather have Linux 2022.5.2 (year.sequential-number.patch) than 5.19. Possibly unpopular idea since I get bashed every time I criticize Linux and its versioning, as if I shouldn't dare question it.
I can tell you don’t live in the US.

Few things:

1. Most European countries are paying 100% more taxes.

2. Europeans have their defense budget (30-40% of US spending) at like 5-10% of spending. The US protects Europe, so…

3. At the end of the day that means countries in Europe have something like 200-300% of the budget for the public over what the US has.

4. The US is very spread out and very wealthy by European standards. There are massive super markets around town which a bus could get to. However, we have 0.5-3 acre yards here. The bus isn’t going to stop at every house, so you’re looking at a 2-3 mile walk to a stop.

5. Why walk and waste time at a bus stop when I can get a car ($5k-100k in price) and drive myself. Saves me hours of waiting a week, totally worth the investment and quality of life boost.

6. The density of homes means the cost of a bus would be astronomical in comparison. Buses around single family homes, when everyone has a car, on a regular basis simply don’t economically make sense. You’d have no one to pick up.

7. Regulations and what not make it a non-option. Many states regulate emissions and what not, which negatively impact the cost-benefit analysis in rural / suburban regions, already running with low number of passengers.
I just run mainline Linux on the RockPro64, like I do on all my computers. It seems to work fine for my purposes, although I don't use every feature of the board so there could be some hidden problem I've missed.

I agree that it would be a mistake to buy a wildcat board which needs a special patched Linux from the vendor. Mainline support, or no deal.
By what metric are your rights inalienable and innate? Your government permits you to to have those rights through extremely similar mechanisms to ours in Australia.

Has the US ever violated one of its citizens 'innate rights'?
Constantly, there are thousands of professional constitutional lawyers and government officials arguing over the interpretation of that document and the precedents set by historic interpretations.
Ie, your government is actively in the process of deciding how the legal system interacts with the citizens and the constitution, which is definitively your government giving you the rights. See, every 2A Supreme Court battle ever.
I'd like to hear more of your stories. :)
> Getting groceries for a family, getting kids to schools and after school activities, running errands etc. is very inconvenient on a bus.

This isn’t a universal truth - I know a ton of people who do that (I bike more) - but rather a policy decision. Driving has been massively subsidized for a century so it’s not surprising that it often works better but other choices are possible.

> As for how much cheaper is the bus I am not sure, last time I've taken one it was $1.5 for each leg, of course, this depends on location

Okay, that’s still 20 trips a day before you’re at AAA’s _average_ cost of owning a car. If we chose to offer better service, I’m sure more than a few people would pocket the difference — the primary deterrent for most people is when service is infrequent and inconsistent.
