This is great to hear, I've been wanting a flip phone for a while. GrapheneOS on a Moto Razr would actually be incredible. Thank you for all of your hard work and being active in this thread. I'm looking forward to getting my hand

I don't think there will be a post oil industry, at least not as long as we have roads and cars. We don't really need as much oil for walking paths, trains, or bike trails, and potholes are a different problem with different solut

I'm bored with most of the new flashy products, but that just leads to me tinkering more with things I already have or fun new open source projects. It's somewhat a hobby of mine to maximize the potential of old hardware with bett

I wonder how they will impact traffic. Rideshare has already added traffic according to some studies I've read. Basically, instead of someone going from point A (current location with own car nearby) to point B (destination), Point A b

My state did something similar recently as well for land within a quarter mile of transit, they have to be zoned for a minimum number of housing units, and parking minimums cannot be enforced in that radius. Some of the municipalities impac

Houston has similar regulations that effectively serve the same purpose to determine land use, which is zoning adjacent.

I serve as a planning commissioner for my city, and my city just recently tried to overhaul our zoning code to allow for more affordability and better economic outcomes for our citizens and future as a city. Here is what I have learned: In

I've tried this. It's hard to get people to switch platforms when they don't perceive any major existing problems with their current platform. My neighborhood that I'm on the HOA board for has been entirely on a facebook

I don't think this is all that surprising. Car prices, car insurance, and maintenance costs are at all time highs, and costs of nearly everything else have risen faster than wages. Older cars are being held longer, and newer cars aren&

In your interview with MegaLag posted in the video, you say something along the lines that civil courts are probably the most likely place any lawsuits would be held (I forget the exact wording used). If you had used Honey, would you join a

They should care because they are expensive. If we become dependent on something that is expensive, we have to maintain a certain level of economic productivity to sustain our dependence. For AI, once these companies or shareholders start d

This seems like an assumption that over time would come to bite the banks that overexpose themselves to lending in this manner. Wouldn't banks want to accurately assess these valuations so these types of "bad loans in actuality, g

This isn't about self driving standards.

How so? I've driven many SUVs and minivans. Minivans usually offer better visibility and have lower center of gravity. Even still, are people buying an SUV or minivan for the driving experience?

Yes. And I've structured a decent amount of my life around transportation independence. My last car will probably be my current car from 2013, which I have replaced the engine in, and plan on replacing the transmission in when that goe

Not sure how much heat is directly contributed by cars. But regarding the original comment, having dirt or vegetation will be less heat absorbing than even white or gray asphalt. Also it helps with runoff amongst other things. Even if cars

As of now, I haven't ever needed to steal a bike back. I view it more as theft deterrent. They'll be less likely to be able sell it, and it makes the bike look like it's not as valuable.
