> You just listed 3 choices, which range in size, weight and likelyhood of killing pedestrians

One answer is to not have pedestrians. As the suburbs do.

Not everybody wants to live in a city or can live in a city.

> I knew a family growing up that had six kids, so 8 person household, they had a minivan (Toyota Tarago).

Unlike pickup trucks, SUVs are fantastic for hauling both children and assorted cargo. Unlike minivans, they're great at handling a variety of driving conditions: gravel, dirt, ice/snow, inclines. They're also fun to drive and don't make it feel like the next sixteen years of your family's life is just dedicated to the brood.
Wow, I had no idea about this! What do you think is the current state of adoption for IndexedDB apart from fingerprinting?
Since you know about StrongTowns you probably already know this but I'll leave this here.

This is why, in the USA, we need to address the regulations that require us to build houses like this: Offsets, R1 zoning, height restrictions, minimum parking, road width requirements, etc...
Also look at your local bus terminals. That asphalt is damaged beyond belief, even though it sees next to no traffic.

A few dozen buses a day braking and accelerating on the same patch of street over and over will wreck it.
Europe has significant pigovian taxes on fuel, for starters. More than half the retail price of gasoline. Probably that would be political suicide in the US.
Parts of Europe actually have more reasonable towing regulation, for example, in Europe, my VW GTI can legally tow a thousand pounds or so, but does not have a recognized towing capability in the US system.
I guess in an emergency you’d have to enable the brakes before landing (hopefully they aren’t too worn out already)

The Apple one is available, theoretically, though you have to specify each time to tell Siri to get directions with something other than Apple, and it also won’t support any features such as the useful “share ETA” which is a real shame. They also thankfully opened up their split-screen mode to third party navigation apps a couple years ago (though, incidentally, that screen is utter trash in my humble opinion because of what it doesn’t include).
I asked it a simple question: "what is known about PSC?" and it returned two citations.

You vastly overestimate the possibility that this news makes it into the mind of fliers and that they actually understand the consequences.

Government says it’s ok, so it must be ok. That’s all people think.
Kids need to be taught not to play behind a moving vehicle, the same as they need to be taught not to stick their fingers in an electric socket. "Someone else's kids" who aren't being raised properly isn't enough of a reason to force people to own a particular kind of automobile (At least this was the predominant thinking before we lived in a nanny state).
A minivan is a lot better for society than an SUV! It's a far more efficient use of space and weight, and isn't unnecessarily lifted so your visibility is better and your vehicle is less dangerous in a pedestrian collision.

You have a practical vehicle for your situation and location. We would all be better off if a lot of urban/suburban SUV purchases were minivan purchases instead - like they were 20 years ago, and like your more recent purchase was.

The stats I found put it at around 200 per year in the US for children under 13, probably thousands globally. That was from 2021, and since pedestrian deaths in general have gone up a lot since then, I wouldn't be surprised if the number is greater now. Plus some trucks and SUVs have hoods that are so tall now that even 13+ children are occluded.
Apparently the TOS can be edited at any time to say anything without notice.

It’s worth mentioning that per this agreement they can still do almost anything else with that data. They could put your face up on a billboard if they wanted to.

I've used the xReal Air on a plane. The Air has 1080p screens for each eye, so it's pretty much the worst possible option that kind of works. I would pay 2x what I paid for the Air (~$400) in a heartbeat for a 4k option to have when I travel. But for the kind of price Apple is talking about it would have to be good enough to beat my main workstation setup, not just be better than a tiny laptop screen for travel. And I agree with TFA that it's very unlikely to meet that higher bar.
I just have a faint idea Apple is one of the first tech companies that never paid dividends.

And yes, that was my point.
It most likely is and that's also Russia's responsibility.

Remember: This is a country that projects itself as a technological soon-to-be-world-leader while it's actually a glorified gas stop with nukes that USSR era scientists/technologists built using stolen US tech well before the brain drain of the 90s and onwards.

Recently, I've delved into creating and modifying electric guitars. Here are some of the enhancements and modifications I've made:

- Pickups: Upgraded to Fleor's pickups, which are both excellent and budget-friendly.
- Blender Knob: Replaced the traditional pickup selector switch with a blender knob. Most blender knobs aren’t designed effectively. I've found using a dual potentiometer (stereo fader) with a center detent to be the only way that sounds really good. I’m currently exploring slider pots that can be seamlessly integrated into the pickup selector's position.
- Configuration: Transitioned to SS or HS configurations on my Strats. The middle pickup tone falls short, but blending the neck/bridge results in a phenomenal sound.
- Noise Reduction: Lined the electronic compartments with copper tape. This ensures the guitar remains silent, even when utilizing high-output pickups.
- Tone Knob: Modified the typical frequency-adjustable low-pass filter to be a push-pull between low-pass and high-pass. This results in a crisp, punchy funk sound.
- Bridge: Converted my Strat's tremolo system to a hardtail using wood epoxy and by repurposing the existing bridge components.
- Luthier Skills: I've been enriching my knowledge via Stew Mac videos on YouTube, especially on *expertly* setting truss rods. This expertise has significantly enhanced the playability of my guitars, eliminating any fret buzz.
- Design: Ventured into laser engraving on headstocks, pickguards, and bodies, which adds distinct details to the look of each guitar.

Regarding tone, the type of wood in an electric guitar plays an extremely minor role. The primary influencers are the electronics and components in contact with the strings (e.g., nut, frets, bridge). Currently, my go-to instrument is a $65 Monoprice Tele, spruced up with roughly $130 worth of parts and an old Seymour Duncan pickup. Some additional upgrades include a Fleor hotrail tele bridge pickup, engraved bridge with roller saddles, and locking tuners. It plays and sounds incredible. Basically, any electric guitar with a neck that plays well can be made to sound good with improved electronics.
Given the price of $3500 against competitors, and the external battery pack, I strongly suspect that Apple's hardware is very different compared to any other headset in the market.

From the limited info in the keynote, it seems they're doing "something" with foveated rendering. Ie: The display is a lot more dense where the fovea sees.

From the demos, they clearly have the eye tracking dialed in to precision.

From these, I would make a bet that the headset contains galvo motors to move the optics such that the high-density portion of the display's area are always in alignment with the fovea. Probably not the Retina display kind, but something more like ~100 ppi equivalent - which is certainly usable for work.

Otherwise, what's the point of having denser pixels in one area?

If this is true, I can totally see this being a true monitor replacement. This would also make most of this blog post moot.

Hopefully you are reading and learning from the same place licensed electricians are learning from. Sounds like this guy didn't go to the right sources.
Road Wear is related to weight by the 4th power...a 30% increase in axle weight is like 2.85x the damage to the road.
But in this case if everyone thinks that way and buys an SUV the world in general is less safe for your family and you're in fact to safer from having a bigger car, if you ever were which seems to be debatable.
Considering how car ownership makes you more likely to be killed by a car, I'd say yes, it's very rational to not own one.

Nearly every Home Depot has rentable trucks, very affordable too.
I haven't yet seen this proposed on this thread: require larger vehicles to have passive braking and a high level of driver assist and cameras with machine vision that warns drivers of cyclists and pedestrians.
Say more things. Are you suggesting that by “customer consent”, they mean the consent of someone other than those of us paying for zoom? That makes no sense, and is not supported by the use of “customer” in their TOS.

It is the future as soon as you finish reading it. You can definitely unsuccessfully make that argument though.
That's wishful thinking: battery technology required to reduce weight of EV enough is not in sight yet. It might even be physically impossible.
Yep, it found a "niche": people could actually hack on it and get it to do stuff, rather than waiting around for the other thing, which wasn't even really a thing yet anyway.

Linux has a large, large established user base at this point. If you want to attract people to a different platform, you need a compelling reason.

The long and short of it is dealing with bureaucrats seems to increase our chances of getting CPS called on us, constantly wearing us down, they tried to get our daughter a tracheostomy and we had to fight against it.

I don’t trust the government to be competent at all. It’s almost like an AI following programming and sometimes incidentally it produces some good outcomes. But it doesn’t care about anything. And it’s filled with people blithely executing in whatever mandate they’ve been given.

We are looking at a privately funded charity to help us, although we could likely afford it in our own.

>But realistically the whole Bay Area should be at “if you want to build a 10 or 20 story apartment building on your own land, go for it.”

While I think apartments are fine, it would help immensely if the absurd setback and height requirements were revised to something reasonable.

For example, take a standard sized lot in Alameda County (Basically all of the East Bay Area):

A standard lot is 5,000 square feet. 50'x100'

- Front setback requirements: 20'

- Back setback requirements: 20'

- Side setback requirements: 5' per side

- Max building height: 25' (2 stories max)

Total setback square feet: 2,600 out of 5,000

Taken together, it's illegal to build on 52% of the land one owns! Another way to think about this is that one must buy at least 52% more land than necessary to build on. This is completely absurd, and is contributing to the housing shortage throughout the Bay, and the state.

Some setbacks are fine, but really, 52%?!

The big difference today is that they're trying the same shit on protocols and platforms that allow you to block anything you want, so it's an arms race between blockers and DRM enforcers.

>Car registration shouldn't be based on the value of the car, it should be based on how heavy the car is. Because heavier cars cause more wear on the road, they should pay more for road repair.

I flew from Moscow to Vladivastok recently, and it's a choice between 8 hour flight and a week in a train.

Why do you need a long code window? You should always be a couple key strokes away from anywhere in the code base. This makes having to see everything all at once irrelevant. Visually seeing all that code doesn’t increase productivity, jumping to specific lines does.
Oh man, another one of these "America is going to collapse or has collapsed" articles. The evidence shows the opposite: by almost every metric, the US is in a better position and stronger compared to the rest of the world, but also stronger on an absolute basis too such as real GDP, corporate profits, stock market gains, low unemployment rate, tech/innovation (such as electric cars, AI, etc.), etc. Even in regard to inflation or unrest, things are still worse elsewhere, such as protests in France, or even higher inflation in Germany, the UK, and Turkey. if America does collapse, it will only be after the rest of the world or conditional on the rest of the world collapsing too and likely first.

Anyone who has strong conviction otherwise of collapse can put up money right now and bet on such as outcome, such as with put options on the S&P 500 , or puts on the dollar , or shorting the S&P 500 and going 'long' foreign markets. Many have, and it put it bluntly, has ended badly.

I think this is a good guide. Git tends to be an emotional topic for a lot of people - myself included - and the hill I dramatically die on time and time again is that I think, tragically, this is about where developers stop learning git. I think operations like rebase, cherrypick, and squash are just as important as some of the ones you first encounter. Especially when you're working with other people. I use them every day and I see some of the spaghetti experienced developers pile on the graph because they only know merge. I guess my point is "don't sleep on rebasing" :)

I couldn't own a basic car, let alone an RV, when I was living in Stockholm. I was trying to figure out if I could buy a large enough trailer for my bicycle to transport my inflatible boat somewhere (and there are basically no public boat launches!), I couldn't dream of RV, it seems those things are only for very wealthy people in Europe.

Now I own a normal 18 foot boat with a trailer and an RV camper even though I work in the same field. My life quality significantly improved since I moved to the U.S and I will never look back.
