>and the employer can't use the points from the frequent flyer program anyway

This isn't always true. Some employers insist you book through their internal travel department or use their corporate FF accounts, which kick all the mileage and hotel night benefits to them. It's not common, fortunately, but it does happen.
There's a relatively famous story of a former West Virginia mining town that had the only access bridge collapse, isolating the town via any route except private roads owned by the original mining company (that, due to bad blood via the way the mining town turned from a company town to a public municipality, the mining company refused to let the townsfolk use).

Because the bridge crossed the river separating West Virginia and Kentucky, each state (two of the poorest states in the Union) pointed at the other as being responsible for reinstituting the bridge. Neither did so, and the Federal government refrained from intervening.

Desparate to see something happen, the de facto mayor (he didn't want the job, but people tend to look for leadership in a crisis) hit upon a stroke of genius. You see, this was all happening... In 1977. The town's mayor wrote a letter for international aid to solve a humanitarian crisis... To the USSR.

It took West Virginia like a week to announce their plans to build a new bridge.

All this to say: bridges tend to connect two different municipalities because water tends to be a natural administrative and territorial divide, so it is not as surprising as one might think that they can stay down far longer than is efficient. Putting them back up requires two municipalities to agree on the cost structure... Municipalities that, worse than having differing goals, have all the long-memory animosities that build up from being forced-geographic neighbors, so they come to the table with a bag of opposing goals.

I think OSM is a great project and I do contribute from time to time. At a previous job where I was doing some GIS and web mapping, I went out of my way to get permission to open source my work and publish it to OSM. We did.

But in my day to day life, frankly, Maps is just a lot easier. It has traffic and Wyze real time reports built in, shows crashes and construction and parades and whatnot. It has the world's best POI database with contact information, reviews, pictures, menus, etc. It has good offline support with vector tiles. It integrates with my contacts so I can easily say "navigate to friend X's home". It's very useful... when it's accurate.

I guess I'm just practical like that, being generally supportive of OSM and open source in general, but not a purist by any stretch. If there are any other map apps, proprietary or not, that nears feature parity to Google's (especially real time traffic and reports), I'd consider switching and contributing there instead. Is anything close yet?
I would think so too... and even if it doesn't fit you perfectly at least you learn a lot on the way. If you just play with plugins and tweak existing tools, I believe you won't learn anything of substance
>this seems very obvious to me?

That the terms say that? Who is disputing that? It's completely besides the point of whether or not that term carries legal wait. You can't have someone waive away your duty to not be grossly negligent.

Speaking of obvious:

"The Tuesday court filing includes email records from another Hickory resident who had used the map’s “suggest an edit” feature in September 2020 to alert the company that it was directing drivers over the collapsed bridge. A November 2020 email confirmation from Google confirms the company received her report and was reviewing the suggested change, but the lawsuit claims Google took no further actions."

They had been on notice for ~2 years that they were directing people towards a collapsed bridge. I find it concerning the way some people respond to this issue, and the general concept of negligence, as it speaks towards their views on how we should treat others.
This is such a nonsense thread, this is a terrible sparse and high variance metric for the point you are interested in making.

No need to apologize.

I've not gone the app route because it would need system access I think to intercept the PIN functions. I barely semi-trust the OS provider enough to use the phone at all. It would be nice if they would make that a default feature. There were some discussions here about it in the past. [1]

The moral reasoning behind kidnapping is: no one gets hurt, these rich people just have to live in the same conditions we do everyday for a week or two, then their parents will pay out of pocket change more money than we can make in our entire lives.

That logic isn’t really true, but it’s what kidnappers tell themselves.

No one ever feels like they are truly immoral.

I think this is far more on the shoulders of the local DOT for not having barricaded the roadway to begin with.

However, anecdotally I once had Google direct me to take a right turn onto "Old Military Canal Road" off the side of an unlit, narrow, low bridge with no guardrails in the middle of the night. If I had not been extremely observant, I would have driven my car about 5 feet down into "Old Military Canal" and totaled it, possibly injuring and/or killing myself.

I understand that there are terms & conditions that supposedly indemnify Google from these sort of mistakes, but I wonder if there is perhaps at least a moral duty for google to add some kind of UX alert when a user is being instructed to take routes that users do not normally take.
I see a lot of local (blue state) reactionary stuff spurred by other (red) states absolutely horrifying behavior. We don't have their self-inflicted problems but suddenly we need to implement extreme solutions to our non-problems because the other guys have lost their minds.

I would do the opposite -- talk to people who clearly have a need for corralling large amounts of information (authors, phd students), and take a a look at what tools they used. It might not be Obsidian or LogSeq specifically, but I'm sure they have some very specific system that works for them... even if its a just a bunch of google docs.
I have an account for my game dev projects on https://mastodon.gamedev.place/ and it's a great community for that kind of stuff. People tend to stay on topic: the local feed is almost exclusively videogame related updates, and it's all very positive.

Look at the picture in the article. This was a narrow gap in an unlit, unpainted road in the forest at night. The guardrails were still up! Even at low speeds, the gap could easily have appeared as nothing more than a dark spot in a dark road. No reasonable person would expect a hidden pit to interrupt their journey. The only sure solution would be to never drive on dark rural roads, ever, under any circumstances.
There's a 0% chance of a successful colony, by any definition of successful, on Mars in the next century. If we, as a species, cannot avoid destroying the climate that birthed us over millions of years we have exactly 0% chance of surviving one that is completely inhospitable to life.
He absolutely is part of the elite as are basically everyone he associates with. In my experience when conservatives (rich or poor) start complaining about "the elites" they're almost always talking about Democrats and not always the rich Democrats. I'd bet that if polled a sizable chunk of conservatives in America wouldn't consider Trump to be one of the elites.
Back-of-the-envelope: The rendering looks like a max of about 20kw of solar cells. If they think they can produce 70kw, they are counting on quite the wind. Their predicted annual production corresponds to 26kw, which is a lot more believable, but still assumes a lot of wind.

"Because of its slow-but-steady generation, a tower could link to the grid with 240-V, single-phase power that’s available anywhere and everywhere, rather than paying to upgrade and install pricy 480-V, three-phase power."

If it's going to be single-phase, it's going to be pretty slow charging EVs, which is supposed to be its main purpose. Anyway, 3-phase power is hardly anything unusual, when you're talking about generating tens of kilowatts. Feed in up to 70kw on one phase? I don't think the power company is going to like you for that.

"...six charging stalls and plugs, at an estimated price of about US $80,000 * * * ...the tower can generate electricity for as little as 4 cents per kilowatt-hour"

Oooo, I love math. Purchase price $480000. Annual output claimed to be 234000kwh. Expected cost of four cents per kwh. 234000 * 0.04 = $9360, so they are expecting a tower to have a lifetime of...more than 50 years. Riiiiight...

No, laws of physics do not determine rights. Pragmatics and rights are orthogonal.

> If there is physically not enough water around to satisfy everyone's needs, then no amount of agitation about ‘rights’ will change that.

This is, ironically, more relevant to property rights in water (which are usually entitlements to take a particular amount) than to any common construction of water as a human right, which rather than an entitlement to a particular quantity is fenerally constructed as a right to equitable priority in distribution of what does exist.

What a beast. It doesn't apply much to my life, but I did notice one thing that would have been nice on several builds in the past. The torque for the heatsink screws is specified in exact lb/feet.

I have made builds in the past where you had to judge, tight enough? I thought it was unsettling. I believe my last couple builds had a more cam-lock feel to the heatsink though where it was tightened to a point where it had an obvious force-threshold stop to it.

A wants to give a bunch of money to B for a reason that they want to remain hidden (e.g. a bribe, illegal purchases, etc.). So B puts an NFT up for sale and A buys it for an inflated price. Now B has a plausible explanation for the source of the money.

You can do this with other assets like fine art or real estate but it is a lot more complicated. NFTs are a simple way to launder money online.

That's absolutely a possibility, but even in those conditions - especially in those conditions - one should always be careful to not drive off a cliff, or off the outside of an unexpected turn in the road, or into a fallen tree, or into a pedestrian, or into a stopped car!

In about two months, I predict, some dark November morning here in Michigan will have hundreds of "accidents" because the first snows will fall. Some drivers will be cautious and slow, while others will be going 5 mph over the speed limit. The latter will slam on their brakes far too late given the icy conditions, and will rear-end the former. That's not an accident, that's a negligent collision. Seven months of clear roads have conditioned Michigan drivers into assuming that everyone else will always be going about the same speed. When that ceases to be the case, there will be a few weeks of adjustment. Years of following Maps directions, and seeing uninterrupted roads, conditioned this unfortunate North Carolina Dad into assuming that reliable GPS directions and maps were guiding him down an unobstructed road like any other. When that ceased to be true, it's sad but not entirely unexpected that this happened.

Therefore, I propose Google respond to this incident by deploying an automated "Netflix Chaos Monkey" approach to their mapping data: Every thousand turns or so, provide bad directions - guiding people down boat ramps or through forests, send the wrong way up a one-way road. Show graphical maps with straight roads where there's a turn, and turns where the road is straight, show stop signs where there's a stop light. Show the speed limit as 25 mph when it's 55 and 55 when it's 25. All of those things will happen accidentally, so make them happen intentionally and help drivers build robust error-handling practices.

The difference is we have a formal HOA with an annual budget. The HOA owns all the common property, including the roads, paths, and a few chunks of garden/yard. We all pay quarterly dues into the HOA's general fund. The only part I'm not sure about is what happens if the HOA becomes insolvent - that's not a situation I've heard about locally.

Who actually owns the main road in your situation? As you each have easements, it sounds like the original house still owns it? I've heard of similar situations and it always confuses me, for just the reason you mention - I would never buy a house in neighborhood with no means to maintain then neighborhood infrastructure.

It's obvious but probably you can't escape responsibility by just writing it on the terms and conditions if you are responsible for something. What if they put "we are not responsible for anything, use your judgement" on every product and sell dangerous products? I mean, IMHO they should be able to do that if they warn you properly(not just in the legal text) but that's just my opinion.

Is Google Maps responsible? I don't know but I can imagine someone claiming it due to the way information is displayed on the UI. Google maps always shows the information from position of authority, they are always very sure about the information they have and you don't have a clue about how certain they are bout what they tell you. I had multiple situations where Google Maps will direct me very confidently to roads that don't exist and once I had to stop and investigate if the road that Google Maps insist on is viable and the other time I had to turn back as the road conditions deteriorated from SUV-needed to T-80 tank needed. Negligent local authorities combined with authoritative assistant who is wrong and can't tell its wrong can be dangerous.

Maybe a UI with more clear communications is needed?

Indeed. It blew my mind when my wife and I took a vacation to Tampa in July.

Without the AC running full blast all the time, the tile floor of our hotel (being cooler than the rest of the room) developed standing water. Like, walking through the kitchen area was splish splash splish and then a crash when we would slip and fall.

We actually did try not running the AC while we were out and about, but it made it hazardous. To the hotel's credit, the AC was not running when we checked in.
