Correct, part of safer street and road design is supporting transit, biking, and walking. That said, it's essentially impossible to get rid of cars entirely, and you can see that just by looking at countries or even regions that have g

> Fatality data is extremely skewed. 44% of drivers aren't using a seatbelt, 29% are speeding related, I recall alcohol involvement being about 30%, though it's not listed in the link I checked. How is that 'skewed'?

Trains or bikes, really (plenty of Waymo/Uber/Lyft trips aren't super far).

> Better driver education and higher test standards would save lives too. So would banning alcohol. The biggest thing would be safer road/street design, but Americans are kind of allergic to that. Talk about traffic calming or road

> The species was first documented in the 1970s and, being fairly new to scientific observation, has yet to be scientifically described. Because of this, LPSO has no official scientific name. Is that a joke? It takes over 50 years to com

People always say this, but a) even countries known for good transit like Japan still have a ton of cars for various things, and b) there's no getting around that the money going into self-driving cars vs public transit isn't some

Yeah, it's not like drivers text while driving, go over the speed limit, fail to signal, fail to fully stop at stop signs, run red lights, tailgate, or park in the bike lane, right?

I mean that's true for side-by-side foldables in general isn't it? It doesn't require what Apple is saying about the aspect ratio here.

by TulliusCicero 7d ago
But it's not really the same aspect ratio, is it? Because one is used predominantly vertically, and the other horizontally. As long as there's this landscape vs portrait difference, how does the aspect ratio similarity actually

Okay, but IP protections exist to benefit society. Being less harmful isn't good enough, the justification has to be "here's how being longer than twenty years benefits society". Do movie companies or authors choose to m

I don't see any reason it should be longer than patents (20 years). Why should authors be granted vastly larger IP protections than inventors?

by TulliusCicero 8d ago
Just make it 20 years, like patents.

From what I know about MS, I can understand what they mean. Microsoft famously had teams at odds with each other, so if you "own" something across multiple teams and can't get them to actually work together or take a particul

Why? Companies that sell Windows laptops absolutely have these figured out for various customizations they want. Those are usually shit customizations to be fair, but in this case it'd be actually useful.

Corbyn was an unusually terrible leader even by Labour standards. Amazing that some people still support him.

> And if a law is so bad that it can't even get more than 1/3rd the people to support it What? That's not what you wrote. If it only takes 1/3rd to repeal a law, then you need to keep up 2/3rds support indefinite

Democracies require supermajorities for stuff all the time, it's pretty typical, especially for constitutional changes. And in this case, it would also mean that Britain would've joined the EU with a 55%+ majority as well.
22.
by TulliusCicero 18d ago
I dunno about 2/3rds, but there should definitely be some kind of supermajority required for things like joining or leaving the EU. Even a 55% requirement would be a lot better than a simple majority imo.

Browser defaults suck, then. This is classic "works fine on my machine".

I wonder, is there something stopping Framework from having this change as the default?

I'm mostly a Windows/Android user, but one thing I appreciate about Macbooks is that the speakers are quite capable. I have a MacBook Pro from work and the speakers sound excellent, at least for a laptop.

I mean general QR code payments as opposed to QR codes on tickets. First noticed them at convenience stores, but vending machines have them too, and I think some restaurants.

by TulliusCicero 21d ago
The really nice advantage of Suica is its speed. Yeah credit card tap to pay is alright, but it's relatively slow, taking multiple seconds. Now QR code payment seems to be taking off in Japan, but unfortunately you can't access it
