Perhaps because this is just one of the external costs, and these costs are absorbed through taxes (for instance, road wear is higher for heavier vehicles, so lighter car effectively pay for the SUVs and trucks)

There's many instances of direct subsidy going through SUV [0]. I don't remember the exact framing, but basically tariffs and other rules carve out a SUV shaped bubble for US makers to operate with extra low competition, and subsidies will often go there too when they don't want to make it explicit it's only for US makers.

The recent EV plan would be one exception to this, where it's worded straight as a middle finger towards foreign makers.

More realistically, it's smaller cars on slower city streets.

The average American is also growing larger with each new revision.

"Large" American people probably won't be comfortable crammed into a 90s Chevy Geo. I think such people deserve to be comfortable, is it not a basic human right / dignity?

I tried to look back to find the exact example, but couldn't find anywhere that I had written it down. It was something where the $condition was a single word, referring to a boolean variable, but was not itself an adjective. By removing the "is true" clause, the clause was left without a verb, and without an antecedent.

Well, doh, but it costs zero dollars and very little effort.
To the parent's point. Buses are safer for the occupants because they are heavier. But they are more dangerous to the smaller vehicles occupants.

I suppose they don't tend to go into high speed highways.
A Suburban vs Suburban is still safer than Kia vs Kia.

And what about Kia vs Semi? Or Kia vs delivery truck? Or Kia vs city bus?

If we really cared about fatalities, then banning alcohol should be on the table, statistically speaking. 30% of all traffic deaths involve alcohol.
I usually reuse those 'single use' grocery bags, either for more groceries, or as waste-paper bin liners, etc.

This whole 'single-use plastics' thing seems to be a huge diversion if you ask me.

The one case where a ban might effective doesn't seem to get much focus; cosmetics/toiletries. Shampoos, liquid soap dispensers (esp with pump-action), toothpaste tubes, etc. There's probably more plastic in each of those than 10s or 100s of grocery bags.
For this particular problem, create single-use, highly compostable packaging. This has to happen not just at the final grocery bagging step, but for all packaging.

It depends on what the intent is. If it's just to try it out a few times to play with it, it's a cheap way to know if one is interested in putting more money in that hobby.

Otherwise, I agree with you, they're kind of weak and as such operate really slowly.

SUV shaming is a lot like drink driver shaming. A completely rational action for healthy society.
Not even pedestrians die at 30kmph.

Edit: you are right it's about 3% die at 30kpmh, vs ~35% at 50kpmh. My bad. Still lower speeds dramatically improve the safety of cars.

Not everyone lives in insane car filled wastelands. Aerial pictures of lots of American cities are truly abhorrent, vast concrete and asphalt wastelands purely for car parking. The American system and people definitely need car shaming. I don't want the same thing exported to my city.
This seems kind of odd to me, the idea that using 50 plastic bags is environmentally equivalent to one plastic-based reusable bag.

The "environmental impact" is defined pretty broadly, but intuitively it feels like I'd rather have the one bag go to the dump when it wears out than have 50 flimsy plastic ones blowing about or getting into every nook and cranny.

As always of course, while it's good to be aware of your own wasteful habits, they're probably a rounding error compared with industrial and commercial waste, things like enormous fishing nets and lines being cut off in the ocean, or pallets of packages being wrapped by hundreds of feet of plastic wrap for transport.
It has a side effect of amplifying class differences. Many people here could buy a new set of reusable bags every trip without it registering. I grocery shop in my car so paper bags are no problem if that's what the store has. If I had to walk somewhere, I could only carry one.

I think this is a side-effect that provides positive feedback, just like many of these initiatives, they are a way for rich people to feel like something is being done without doing anything, while actively maintaining their position in the world. If you look around, there is a lot of stuff like this.
About 2003 or 2004, there was a French documentary, "Etre et Avoir" about a teacher in a rural town in France. I liked it as

- giving a picture of a thoroughly dedicated, able teacher
- showing the interest and frustration of teaching small children
- showing a very different school system--there are relatively few places in the US where a classroom can have first graders and eighth graders.
>Folks would rather feel good and virtue signal than really solve the problem.

The idea that people are using reusable shopping bags because they want to virtue signal and not because of any actual desire to do good is a completely baseless and needlessly pessimistic viewpoint. A much more reasonable and likely explanation is that most people can't fully assess the environmental impact of their decisions, so they make the entirely reasonable assumption that if they can avoid throwing away a dozen plastic bags every week, then that's probably a good thing. That assumption may turn out to be incorrect, but that doesn't mean they have the harmful motivations you are accusing them of.

I'm only a hobbyist game dev, but I've always understood EC separately from ECS.

EC was the answer to God objects and deep, inflexible inheritance hierarchies.

Among other things, ECS is partially a performance play - it's more cache friendly. I'm not sure what all the tradeoffs are though, I've only really used EC.
And what would be the "80% of performance for 20% of the price" equivalent of it ?
Pretty sure there was shop-by-phone even before that.
In Europe you need an advance license to drive a car that exceeds a certain tonnage (3,500 kg I believe; or at least that is my license). So for certain markets there is a hard limits. I don’t think a Corolla will ever exceed that as that would kind of ruin its whole marketing.
Then your child gets to live the rest of their life knowing they killed someone.
There's a disconnect here: why does a bigger human need a radically larger car frame? There's plenty of internal space for a larger seat. You'll note that we haven't made airframes correspondingly larger over the last 30 years.
Alternatively we also all drive at 40km/h or less in cities and urban areas, accidents much less likely to be fatal.
And unless it’s waxed or oiled, it doesn’t hold liquids or liquidy things very long but I guess that defeats the compostability?

Thanks for the heads-up. I've only been running OpenWRT for a couple of weeks and did not know about that.

I tried turning that setting off, and I saw the same behavior. But if I change /etc/resolv.conf to point to the OpenWRT box directly:

#nameserver 127.0.0.53
nameserver 192.168.1.1

It works, so the OpenWRT box seems to be doing the Right Thing now. I guess systemd-resolved is likewise doing something weird with these one-component names. Huh.

Found the corresponding systemd-resolved issue. See here:

"Die" is a bad target. I don't want to be a quadriplegic if I don't have to be, and a car going 30 MPH (realistically 40, if the limit is 30) on a residential street is more than capable of doing that to me.

There is an old (IIRC non-standard) convention from the classful IP times which allows you to write not only X.Y.Z.W but also X.Y.ZW, X.YZW, and occasionally even XYZW with ZW = 256 × Z + W (decimal) etc., all referring to the same host. So 1.0.1, 1.1, and 16777217 are all funny ways to write 1.0.0.1, which is indeed an alternative address for Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1—also written 1.1.257, 1.65793, and 16843009.

We legislate safety standards that require cars to get heavier to meet them.

The best course of action would be to correct our standards to make lightness and damage to other vehicles part of the safety requirements as well.

It’s selfish to want to protect yourself? I guess it literally is selfish. But I’m not increasing my actual risk for some hypothetical reduction of everyone else’s risk. Semis, buses, industrial vehicles all share the same road I’m on, so why would I shrink my vehicle?

And isn’t it selfish for people to insist on riding their bicycles on the roads? Why is their willingness to increase their own risk my problem? I’m not asking them to ride bikes. They make that choice.

By the way, there is about 12k drunk driving deaths each year about about 850 cycling-auto deaths each year. Let ban alcohol if we really cared about safety.
Well, all the other offline tools seem didn't seem very intuitive to install, for someone without technical knowledge.

I learned that it's ok to be working a job or on something just because it can be stable and it pays the bills. I think I've looked to work maybe too much for purpose, and if you're not working for yourself it's going to be very hard to find fulfillment when doing that.

So basically learned to be ok with not seeing work as a purpose driver for me at the moment.
It works, well, incredibly.

Anyone who believes this is either corrupt or a fool.

AI, like the current algorithms in use by various companies, will be used by powerful corporations against individuals without any means to fight against it, enabled by captured regulators who themselves don't care about regular people.

Tyler Cowen championing that ai won't take the job of a gardener or manual labourer, but will 'create' jobs in retraining is completely skipping the whole 'retraining because many many jobs will cease to exist'.

I can only hope this guy had a deadline and needed his $75 for an opinion piece, and thats why this dreck was published by bloomberg. If someone actually believes this nonsense they are outright ignoring the effect of these technological regimes on individual's choices and freedoms today.
They revised the tests recently to use a bigger car going faster, so they are taking this into account.
Did you even look at the graph? Reusable bags are fine, but this is pure silliness to think that this makes any real progress.

Hedonic and eudaimonic happiness are two ends of a very long continuum.

It's a question of temporal range--do you reward your near-future self at the cost of a far futue-self (e.g. by drinking) or do you reward your far-future self at the cost of your near-future self (e.g. by studying or working).

It's not always (or even often) a zero-sum trade, but there's still a balance that needs to be struck.

It does if it changes the character of the neighborhood which is a pretty tall bar to cross.

So if you are in a little subdivision and suddenly a yard sprouts cars and weeds, you may find your property prices affected.

But if half the properties are like that (or big enough you can’t see one from the next) probably won’t affect anything except that property itself.
The Sweden statistic is misleading because their population is concentrated in the south, similar to Canada and other nations with large areas of extreme cold. A better measure would be median density or population-weighted density.
For the last few years I've been trying to add unit tests to all of my personal projects.
I do a bit of game modding in my spare time and those are the last projects that ended up getting unit tests, but they were also the ones I most wanted to add tests for because they're the most complicated and also the most time-consuming to test manually.
The biggest hurdle to start with was that the Visual Studio projects are all set up in such a way that integrating Microsoft's C++ unit test framework either requires you to (probably) recreate the project the right way, or to hack around with scripts to create a working test runner. Setting up Boost tests might be less painful. But once that is done, my next hurdle was mocking out the game engine. Not overly difficult as the engine exposes a nice API but still time consuming. Now that that's done it's been good start adding tests, though I haven't added any tests for anything too complicated yet.
I’m not sure that’s a great example since airline seats have become so small many obese people simply are effectively prohibited from flying. Even business seating has contracted over the years so paying a kings ransom still isn’t enough for such people to gain freedom of mobility.

0.0002" is fine to calibrate a pair of calipers but not really for a micrometer. I just bought a real gage block, which will be far more than sufficient for anything I ever do: https://www.zoro.com/mitutoyo-gage-block-rectangular-100-in-...

Admittedly, this choice was a little more obvious before the recent inflation. Select your size and preferred units as required, of course. It was nice to see that even though mine is only Grade 0, it actually meets the Grade 00 standards. Not that that matters for me.

Now all this is reminding me that I should actually go and check out that sketchy micrometer that was borrowed and abused....

> Drivers are often not found liable for hitting pedestrians in the US even when it is clear that an error on the part of the driver caused the accident, so liability insurance is not actually capturing those externalities.

Do you have a source for this?

> However, laws automatically holding drivers liable by default for accidents with pedestrians unless there were clear extenuating circumstances, as some other countries, might be another way to change this situation so that this risk could be better captured by liability insurance.

What countries have those laws, and how have they worked out? Why not just do something sane like treating it like any other civil case where people who cause damage to others are liable for it?
I'm not big but I've had injuries which have hindered my mobility. Ever tried to get into a low subcompact when you can't bend as easily? The height of the seat, the height of the A-pillar/roof, the width of the door, and how far the door open, all massively affect getting into and out of a vehicle.
No, that's just how they're sold.
This can be fixed easily... divide the safety rating by the number of (thousand) pounds a vehicle has.

Jesus fucking christ, thank you.

I was being woken up constantly at last job due to a bug in the application because I was the Devops guy and this is exactly how I was treated. I spent weeks finding contributing causes to frequent failures. Gathered all the evidence I could find and begged for a fix, I scheduled calls with the product team; I poured over documentation and diagrams “this is the problem, this is inherent to the way these requests are being made, until it’s fixed we have no choice but to throttle the app”. I recorded a ticket each time I got paged and linked back to the team who owned the feature.

What was infuriating in the end was finally being told that they knew about the problem long before I brought it up and even HOW to fix it; it was just consistently being deprioritized by people who had the means to influence the decision on “fix this” or “write new shit”. Eventually I just suppressed the application in PagerDuty and stopped waking up whenever it would fail.

SLA slipped, customers complained, I find myself in a meeting being asked very aggressively “what’s being done about this and why are you ignoring PagerDuty?”

I said I wasn’t ignoring PagerDuty and presented a log of 20 something tickets I created linking back to the original “Please fix this request”. I told my leadership “I’m not the one ignoring this problem, I have been trying to get this addressed and prioritized for months”.

Laid off a month later. It’s becoming a growing reason why I want out of Ops and never want to return to it: companies hiring Ops people and treating us like the kitchen sink for work the company is too lazy to actually address and properly prioritize through staffing, planning or both.
The only thing I would bring up is we don't have to use bags. Proof of that are stores like Aldi. They don't give you bags, and it's not hindering people from doing their shopping there.
