It's cliche in America to absolve drivers of any culpability when killing pedestrians and cyclists let alone a case involving a local government that was actively courting a known unethical company. Until they release footage I'll

I understand and personally am very cautious around driveways especially if they don't have perfectly clear sight lines. I just find it odd when cyclists out of principal decry riding on the sidewalk when the danger of riding with traf

The cause of the accident was a careless driver (or algorithm) not checking before crossing a lane. I can do it, why can't they?

Is that an automated process? The comment section didn't strike as being particularly uncivil. Seems odd that both that and the post about google's poorly implemented gun filter were removed from front page.

I disagree with this but I do selfishly wish I could get a "diversity" boost when applying. Too bad being LGBT is effectively invisible to recruiters.
