With less than 4 million miles of pure rider only data by relatively early Waymo rollouts in two cities it can be argued there's room for the claims per million miles to climb as the number of deployments rise.

I am American! Metro Detroit area. I guess we also don't have many roundabouts. A lot of our road designs are based on Michigan Lefts[0] though which Wikipedia says are also called "median U‑turn crossover or median U‑turn, or restricted crossing U-turn (RCUT)" which I don't see much elsewhere in the country.

Dell uses trusted platform modules (TPM). It's a separate chipset than the BMC chipset.

For a mostly open source solution, not only would you need open source BMC firmware, you must have an open source UEFI/BIOS/boot firmware like CoreBoot, LinuxBoot, Oreboot, Uboot, etc.

Did you know that car ownership in the Netherlands has steadily increased over the years? Despite known for its small size, flat terrain, biking and public transport friendly policies? - [1]

Flexibility, comfort and convenience are car’s benefits, and people value that. Despite the disadvantages of higher cost or the burden of parking. The article highlights the older people group, which is only getting larger. I can list many other examples in countries with great public transportation.

Talking as someone who loves train and commutes by train, car will always be an important transport option, and any approach that helps improve safety, increase efficiency, lower emission, is a net gain.

In Seattle, you can beat a driver to the airport using the train…unless you live in Ballard, or any other place not on the I5 corridor.

I never bothered with taking the train to the Beijing airport either, even though it existed for much of time there. Taxi was still more convenient. If we are talking Tokyo or Paris, ok, no problem, but it doesn’t make sense in a lot of cities for a lot of connections to be made.

> Opening the iPhone wouldn't make any difference there, with things on the Android side as strong evidence of that.

I'd say that projects like Ahahi Linux are evidence of the contrary.

The hardware standardization that an open iPhone would bring to the table would be fertile ground for OSS.

Android is a clusterfuck of abandoned and shitty drivers and hardware that no one cares to reverse engineer due to fragmentation and fast obsolescence. It's the Internet Explorer 6 of mobile hardware and software, it's misery.

> If I make money off open source, I'll start paying more. As it is, I donate 5 bucks a month to OpenSCAD.

I'll refer you back to my zealot note. The question isn't about if you're making money from the product but if you use the produce and have the means to donate. If you got a big tech job and you're only donating only $60/yr to open source projects then I'm not sure you have a horse to sit on. You probably pay a lot more for things you probably use a lot less. If not, I'm not sure what I said to that compelled you to defend yourself.

> The dream is that commerce and open source aren't in direct opposition to each other.

Yes, the dream is post-scarcity or being independently wealthy, which in either case one can just work for fun. But transitioning to post-scarcity is an incredibly disruptive process that has the capacity to hurt a lot of people before it benefits so many. But until then, people need money so I'm not sure what conversation we're trying to have here.

> We do that by finding the right business models, not compromising our values.

See the above where I mentioned someone previously try unquestionably open source and failed, as is the context around octoprint. The __only__ business model for that is relying on donations. You got an alternative that you'd like to enlighten us? One that doesn't "compromise values?" (I don't see the business pay option as compromising but it's not an uncommon discussion here. Hence the specific call out)

Let's be straight, it's not compromising values if you're forced into a position: that's coercion.

There is a speed difference between birds and the ambient air. Birds don't just drift aimlessly with the wind, they flap their wings and gain airspeed. But from their perspective, the "speed" at which they're flying is entirely relative to the mass of air, and not the ground.

This isn't some mystery, it's the same way boats and planes work. Consider a plane flying at 100 knots of airspeed. If the mass of air they're in is moving perpendicular to the plane at 50 knots, the plane will track diagonally across the ground even though it's pointed forward. The plane won't experience side loads because it's tracking 50 units sideways (with respect to the ground) for every 100 units it moves forwards, the exact same as the "wind". If the plane is instead in a 100 knot headwind, it will be stationary with respect to the ground. It won't drop out of the air, but it also won't make headway to its destination either.

From a mechanics perspective, neither the plane nor the bird care about what the ground is doing once they're airborne. The only thing they care about is the mass of air they're aloft in.

I tend to agree a driverless taxi is a luxury good for individuals rather than a social major good, and has the potential to be harmful to society in some ways (e.g. encouraging less public transit use if taxi costs drop), but driverless vehicles will make it possible to provide better and cheaper public transit too.

Some quick searches, and I found pricing examples for coaches where even for a 70 person coach in the UK, the driver at near minimum wage added up to a fixed cost per bus in the fleet that made up near 40% of the cost per coach per day in hire.

Having the flexibility of picking vehicle size based on route utilisation without the drag of a fixed cost per vehicle that substantial that is independent of number of seats would make it viable to add bus routes in places where average utilisation would be way too low to make it possible to justify today.
I remember reading somewhere,WA had to go back to do some improvements, so there was going to be a delay. Was it this one https://github.com/WhatsApp/erlt ?

You could get an rtlsdr dongle cheap and use it as a spectrum analyzer. There are command line utilities for that task in with the drivers online.
Yeah, I totally agree. I’ve been looking at electric cars and a bunch look kinda good but none are “tesla without the tesla bullshit”. The NACS plug announcement means I’m very happy to wait since it’ll make future cars one iota more Tesla by default. Plus it’s just so much better than the old standard.
Google will protect the identity of damned near anyone, even ignoring a federal court order, unless a law enforcement officer requests access. Yes, you heard that right. The court ordered they give up information, and Google said no, because it wasn't a law enforcement request.

So if you want any action taken, either contact your local law enforcement or the FBI. Oh, and the FBI doesn't have time for this anymore thanks to all the child porn crap they're apparently dealing with these days. That's what the FBI agent I worked with on a case a few years ago, told me bluntly.
I for one hope not, I already deeply dislike the current situation where newspapers depend on advertising and funding, having a wikipedia of news when already we know that wikipedia is not trustable would be like jumping knowing to land on fire, only thing is that I don’t know how much worse can we do news right now. The argument is also idiotic, if the victims of israeli regime in gaza are saying something that is also used by hamas, the argument can’t become invalid because its also used by hamas, fight the argument instead of using the messenger as the only criticism, to me modern society seems doomed
I’m sure they totally could if they had assets out that far.
My city has a lot of large roundabouts and a few years ago they made big improvements that reduced the number of incidents and improved traffic flow:

1. They switched from 3 lane traditional to 2 lane spiral roundabouts. There are signs well before you enter the roundabout telling you what lane you need to be in, so you can get into the right lane early. We have a lot of snow in winter, so road markings are not visible.

Example of a sign indicating which lane you need to be in. After this sign, there are two more signs indicating lanes before you get to the roundabout - the next has destination names.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/zJLaFC78i232mUkh6

2. The lanes on the roundabouts have solid white lines which you must not cross. You can only cross lanes to go more towards the center. I'm surprised, but people actually follow this rule.

Example of lanes (and a rare sight of police...)

https://maps.app.goo.gl/HbnkXYkacX3dfq4j6

3. They added speed bumps on the roundabout. This slows down the traffic on the roundabout, giving more chance for vehicles to enter.

Interesting, I came out of this article thinking the author is both sexist and a narcissist. Sexist, because she attributes the failings of the industry to the failings of the male gender. Narcissistic, because this whole article is written directly from her perspective, as if she just disregarded that other perspectives exist.

This is all fine, because it's her article and we can all do as we will, but I really cannot understand how you think this point is reasonably made.
We don't need all Americans to give up their cars. We just need fewer people to drive in urban centers.

A few years ago I found a company illegally giving away software I wrote, that I actively sold on my own website. I contacted Google about it, and they said they asked the author of the other website and he said he had the right to sell it, so they were washing their hands of it. If I had a problem, I had to sue the other guy. And that's why pirate websites are so easy to find, I suppose.

I even provided them my trademark info. They straight up didn't care.
I guess it depends on how you define urban (are suburbs still urban?). I think you're kind of right in that currently suburbs are terrible to live in without a car. But if there was magically a huge shift to much better public transport - would that still be the case?

I feel this is one field that is begging a lot of trainings but even the most generous society does not offer and mandate that.

We have a son and we are basically just dragging on. I think it would be easier if one if us stays at home but financially it is impossible. And Canada is already more generous than the US.

I also think we should have a proper social worker system that gives some help to new parents until the kids go into daycare. At least, they should help new parents make mandatory appointments and check general condition if the kids. Unfortunately I doubt such workers would have a satisfactory salary. After all, like some IT units, they are not "profit center".

I agree. RSC is extremely powerful and impactful, compared to everything that has been going on for React since hooks. It is easy to understand as a concept, and it allows for proper composition of features on the server side. In fact it's remedying a lot of unnecessary complexity that React brought originally. RSC is what allowed me to accept doing SSG at all.

Server actions seems like a neat idea. Probably does nothing for large projects, but at least IMO it can be very useful for the smaller use cases.

A web designer, whatever her gender, is a dude who makes websites, including the design. The programmers finally were able to do that too when frameworks aka bootstrap did the design for them. That’s why all corporate websites look the same and nowadays the self employed genders can get design and programming from the WordPress so the majority of their sites looks like that too or they can hire someone who can’t program or design but knows how to put the text and the images into WordPress or joomla and if the favicon of the result is custom they are above average. Real web designers are incredibly rare and they don’t do tutorials. Even Rachel Andrews or Jen Simmons, who are great web designers don’t fully qualify. Designing and typing into a computer are just too far apart. All tutorials are from YouTube professionals and they always include a framework because web developers can’t do design, they ‘build’ websites from components. And here’s the thing, the dev parts of a site can be formalized (thank you thank you thank you Andy) while the design aspect cannot. So designers can now do real web design, web developers can disassociate their opinions from their employer, Andy can give awesome key notes and companies can hire companies to get their flavor of bootreact on rails or whathaveyou. All webdev sucks but Webdesign for the small web sucks less.
