You are also making the assumption that the hypothetical climb-everywhere-wheelchair is better than a ramp. The ramp is easier to make safe, and so we need to ask about safety if it works most of the time. This also gets into maintenance,

Sure, but only if you want to do that. I have a wheelchair bound friend who uses a $20,000 tracked wheelchair when he goes camping (I've never been camping with him, so I'm not sure how he sets up his tent...). However most peop

If you are a disabled person who wants to visit the back country then the $30,000 (or more!) robot wheelchair is your only option. We shouldn't make all mountain trails ADA accessible. My local park system has a few accessible trails

Congress passed the ADA in 1990. There isn't much more they can do - they have limited power. (there were a few updates since then, and I'm sure there are more tweaks they can make, but the majority of their work is done). Most

For what? There are some things I want AI for because it does it well. There are some things I don't want AI for because it just makes a mess (hallucinations). Maybe the next AI will be different and we will have the conversation a

You called a handyman not an appliance specialist. A handyman already is compromising specific knowledge for can figure out it out. Maybe the right decision there but you have others.

Depends. In rural areas the only part you can't do the power company will in five minutes. In other places only a licensed electrician is allowed to touch wires and do you can do much less

The problem is interest rates are the only large lever they have, but changing this lever changes a lot of things at the same time. Some of those changes are good, other bad - they need to figure out the best compromise, but there is alway

The behavior of consumers is directly coupled in a few ways. However most of what consumers buy is things they would anyway. I'm going to buy a new house this year if I can help it - I locked in my low interest rate several years ago

WFH is good or bad depending on what task you need to do. My first year out of college (roughtly 1998!) my boss looked at me one day and said "you are on a complex problem: don't you dare come to the office tomorrow as we don&#x2

You need both sides for a useful web. In this discussion if the servers are all dead web is dead too: don't use a compromised server even if you can't tell it is compromised.

Cmake spend 15 seconds to generate this project? I find it unlikely build2 is doing the same work as cmake is. Now I will grant cmake is single threaded and slow, so there is a lot of room to do the things it does better (the language suc

A human with experience can do without AI the job a lot faster than someone without can do it with. The expert HVAC tech can get the wrench of the fitting and have the job done faster than the novice. The novice will take longer to follow

Even with more fabric, doing laundry takes a fraction of time it used it. We replaced most of that time with something else.

That depends on the bottleneck. When the bottleneck to me getting something I want is other humans won't allow me... Of course this goes both ways. Some things I could name here everyone would agree I shouldn't be allowed to do.

We need details of the exact facts before we can say if they met any bar. Was their sandbox something from 2005 that has a ton of known holes, or something modern? There are two sides of this. First the AG are checking to see if they reall

You don't even need that. Just seeing the bus go by "all the time" provides permanence. Really it is better, I've seen plenty of paint/signs/shelters, but when I bothered to look the bus only came rarely. When

by bluGill 3mo ago
Buses don't have to be faster. They need to be as good or better for the trips you take. If it is 15 minutes to drive to work and 25 minutes by bus that is good enough. If you can get all your other errands done on the bus then you

When you step back you can see that suburbs have existed since 1880 (street car suburbs), and most of them are still around. The roads have been replaced several times since then in most - they don't last for 140 years so they must ha

Define low density.... In the typical suburb there is enough density for a good static network to work. Note that I said "good", and "network". A suburb cannot support a bus every hour, the service is too bad - but it c

That is what the AGs are trying to figure out. There are a lot of different laws with slight differences. I will not state every single one is not applicable because I don't know every single one and it only takes one law that is appli

That won't end humanity. My propane generator from 1980 still works and I have plenty of fuel in a tank. This is enough to cold start generation of the grid. (the power company won't need my generator - they have their own plan
