New bus lanes on 85 were on the table as part of the Policy Advisory Board’s work. Haven’t been able to find any news on what’ll happen with those, unfortunately.

This may be true in suburban USA, but at least in European cities, sidewalks are used by pedestrians. You have to be alert riding a bike, but it’s a far cry from attempting to weav…

You’re right, I was thinking about a breach of privacy in general instead of actual legal consequences. (Though the possibility of governments backdooring Apple’s servers to access…

It seems that Apple does not need to be a co-conspirator, and that it would be sufficient if someone added ‘malicious’ hashes to the NCMEC database.

Vienna built a bunch of social housing under social-democratic rule to decrease rents, and unlike most other cities, they opened it to a relatively wide income bracket. The value a…

In Vienna, you could rent from a city-owned enterprise.

Hm, stable file formats... LaTeX doesn’t seem to be going anywhere ;)

Ikea's “Gerton” tabletop (90€ / $100. 155×75cm = 61×29.5”) is really, really nice — it uses ≈5cm-wide beech hardwood strips glued together and reinforced across the width with some…

Yep, should work on those hundreds-of-miles-straight midwest roads ;)

Onboard computers can have compasses and a pretty good idea of how fast they're going. You could just be monitoring for any weird jumps or incongruences (eg. there is a road here, …

No, it's just not on the first page. (Try the "More" link at the bottom of the page.)

Sure, though it’s still a web technology taking over an otherwise unrelated space ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Can't help being reminded of that talk by Gary Bernhardt: “The Birth & Death of JavaScript”[0] — exploring a hypothetical future where JS takes over everything without (most) anyon…

emasculated → emaciated?

Yes. I no longer had a need for it after leaving the private group I joined for.

That can happen when the votes all occur in short succession.
