I'll echo what some of the other commenters have stated: I'm not vegan nor vegetarian, but I definitely align with many of the reasons that one would choose to be so. There are env…

This is a super cool visual demonstration of RTOS/scheduling! I love the region-based critical sections! I took a real-time operating systems course in university as an elective. O…

The comment you're replying to is referring to the difficulty to repurpose these buildings without complete replacement. Recycling raw materials is important, but ideally we should…

Yeah the "mixed" navigation option sometimes provides it, but with many caveats: - it never suggests bike+bus, only bike+train - it will only ever try to put the biking on one end …

I currently commute by train _and_ bike, but this only lets me filter by one or another, unfortunately. This seems to be a common problem with navigation systems in general. It's e…

The spire in Scottsdale is also a big pointy object that was completed (but long after he died). Looks like it was originally meant to be at the state capital, so perhaps it's the …

Note that diesel is taxed nearly 40% higher than gasoline per gallon in the US. And shipping trucks use a lot more gallons of gas (total and per mile). Should the rate be higher? P…

Oftentimes "ingredients" will be an incredibly long list. As someone that needs to pay attention to ingredients on food for a severe tree nut allergy, it's so so so much easier to …

Even if we assume smartcar--pedestrian collisions are just as dangerous for pedestrians as pickup--pedestrian collisions, a smartcar--smartcar collision is going to be a lot less d…

> This new sense appears to stem from a mistaken belief that the first three letters of nonplus are there to indicate that someone is something other than “plussed” (although what …

Stumbled upon 'Fulcrum' yesterday near Liverpool Station in London without knowing anything about it. Incredibly impressive piece of art that made me stop and admire it for a few m…

"The future of the car is self-driving, but the future of transportation is not the car"

Not in Amsterdam where - there are more bicycles than people [1] - only 27% of trips are done via car [2] - people travel half as many miles per day than the US [3] Unlike most cit…

That's kind of the point. Part of the design of Dutch cities is to make the fastest, most direct, most convenient form of transportation _not_ the car. You use a car when you _have…

I'd argue that _both_ should necessitate policy changes. The argument that there shouldn't be changes for one if there aren't changes for another is a flawed one.

As an extension of the argument the comment you're replying to was making: Many (most?) intersections in the Netherlands have early detection systems that change the light _before_…

One works for the individual, the other against the individual. One works for the collective, the other against the collective. As a "citizen" who is pretty firmly anti-car within …

Sounds like the price of a ticket should be made dependent on how many other tickets were received. Repeat offenders should have to pay more per incident.

I frequently see people on their laptops on BART, and I've done it myself. It's certainly lower than other commuter rail (it's a metro after all), and especially lower than Caltrai…

Editorialized title does not match what's in the article: > According to Bankrate, just 65% of American adults always tip their servers at sit-down restaurants "65% always" is _ver…

Cool project! How much time have you spent sitting in your car with a laptop, or did you excise the headunit from the car?
