San Francisco has a three-step electrification strategy (news coverage at https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/in-san-francisco-s-push-to-electrify-buildings-hurdles-remain/article_556c066e-288a-11ed-b8f5-439d249ecf4a.html):

society pays more than $9 for every $1 a driver pays in commuting

It's a ban on the sale of new ICE vehicles, not a ban on the vehicles themselves. Huge difference.

Given the opportunity for each system to do what it does well, public transit is never going to be faster than driving for most trips. It does other things well - for example, bringing a bunch of people to a single place like a ballpark, or bringing someone who’s been drinking to a point near their home.

“Efficient” needs to be defined. It’s not “efficient” for a person to make stops that he or she doesn’t need to make. It’s not “efficient” to need to find a way to get first mile/last mile.

Buses? Yes, they are generally the least efficient way to get around. They only make available a vanishingly small portion of destinations.

The “less traffic” part is a lie, plain and simple, because part of the picture of increasing bus service is often to remove general purpose lanes.

Too many meanings for one action. I’d like to shift “you can go now” to flashing your lights OFF rather than flashing the high beams. Sort of like bowing your head or tipping your cap.

Induction is great for some things - especially when you need very fast or very consistent heat.

It’s common in houses with additions over garages, for example. The pipes are running above essentially unconditioned space and the addition often isn’t fully heated.

That last one isn’t bad advice, but it is a little misleading. There are plenty of 20 amp receptacles in anybody’s house. You can tell them apart from 15 amp receptacles by that extra horizontal part of the neutral plug that nobody’s every used. (It’s for a NEMA 5-20 plug, and if you are going to run a 20 amp…

Was expecting FTX to be on this list...

You know an organization which has been on the forefront of fighting pretextual traffic stops, policing for profit, and civil asset forfeiture for years?

That... was a very well crafted post. Thank you.

This would take so much away from F1 that I don't think I'd watch anymore. 

Well, those are some great n=1 statistics for ya. Don't worry about all the other cities which have adopted VZ and seen the exact opposite results.

Anything that prevents Redflex from getting paid is fine by me.

Yes, it’s extremely frustrating, and drivers need to be trained to keep right except to pass. But this is such a wasted opportunity in automated vehicles. Only Lexus has come up with the proper solution (check the publication date).

Jalopnik has already done an excellent job of showing how those driver-attention-monitoring systems can be defeated.
