Exactly! And it writes out to a USB drive plugged into any of the car’s USB ports, just like the dashcam capability they added a few months ago.

Yes, living somewhere that nobody wants to live is cheaper than living somewhere that lots of people want to live, because demand drives up pricing. But there’s a reason that so many people want to live in NYC.

You mean like how the “shorts” filed an unnecessary lawsuit and released a press release, to try to manufacture bad news for Tesla? If they weren’t trying to manipulate the stock, they’d just wait for the SEC to complete an investigation...

It’s only “actionable” if he doesn’t have the financing lined up that he claimed. There’s no particular reason to think that’s the case, and a pretty strong reason to think that’s not the case - it would require Musk to not understand the SEC’s rules at all, which is pretty hard to believe given how much of his life…

I like eInk displays, but I can’t see why anyone would buy this for $600 (with no apps, immature software, no support for commercial eBooks, evernote, etc.) instead of a $300 iPad. Sure, the eInk display and pen sound very nice, but getting locked into a purely proprietary platform for all my note taking, and at twice…

Equating environmentalists with Thanos is absurd, and more than a little insulting. Environmentalists warn that long-term geometric population growth will end up outstripping the ability of the planet to support us, a conclusion that nobody really argues against - we have finite land, raw materials, etc. The only real…

Let’s be realistic - autonomous vehicles don’t have to be 100% perfect, they just has to be at least as good as human drivers, at which point they’ll win in many cases due to economics (and mobility enabling the elderly, kids, handicapped, etc.). And given that many humans are distracted, tired, drunk, etc., that goal…

People who can’t drive (kids, elderly, handicapped) actually a huge market now for shared ride services, and if AVs drive costs down, that would only increase.

Too often you are right. But Grand Central Station is wonderful. And anything done during the time when NYC gave tax breaks for public art and public spaces is _much_ nicer. Sure, businesses are motivated by money, but when it’s doing its job the government can use that greed towards the public good.

No, this is what happens when you do infrastructure projects in densely packed cities full of businesses and people who file lawsuits whenever they are affected by construction. Specifically “ the authority claims it had to reduce the width of the station so it remained under the Second Avenue roadbed without…

Interesting read at https://journalistsresource.org/studies/environment/transportation/bus-versus-rail .

Good point. Over the long run things are MUCH better over time. But making through the short run is a bit painful - millions of people could lose healthcare, women and minorities are being harassed and worse, and so on. Hopefully it’s just the last gasp of a fading order...

If SF was limited to just how we are now, that’s a pretty narrow version of SF!SF can also show how things could be, or might be.

Perhaps “doing fewer things, better” is actually a good strategy for making better products that people use more effectively and like better?

The 46,000 is just the number of people who were bumped off of a flight because the airline couldn’t talk people into taking some compensation and “voluntarily” taking a later flight.

Overbooking averages more than one “bumped” seat per flight - it’s extremely common these days, which is why passengers are so pissed…

So how exactly is a Doctor supposed to plan ahead in case the airline decides to violate https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/14/part-253 and illegally throw him off of the flight he paid for?

Or perhaps, as an adult, you could research the relevant law https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/14/part-253 which clearly documents passengers’ rights (which the article got completely wrong), and stand up for your rights when the airline tries to illegally stiff passengers to prop up their profits.

The article has three huge flaws, rendering it essentially wrong in its conclusions.

First, there’s a huge difference between before and after boarding.

Antsy Labs invented it, and theirs is well made. The cheap copy-cats are, well, cheaply made.

The ‘denial’ was absurdly specific, so I think that they’re basically lying. “There was no directive or memorandum” - so it could have been some other type of communication - “from the Administration” - so it could have been from some other source - “that went out to employees about broadcast news channels” - neither…
