I know a bike mechanic who commutes by bicycle (of course) in a city. I brought up bike infrastructure and they said they don't need much: side streets that are too slow for cars going any distance are perfect 'bike lanes' -

But that doesn't mean the mother sees herself as competing with the fetus, nor sees the fetus as a parasite. Pregnancy may be unpleasant in that sense, but only sociopaths weigh that against the fetus' well-being. When a parent bu

This is wonderful, thank you. A suggestion, if it's possible: Identify the astronauts speaking. (I'm not sure that can be automated reliably unless it's already in video metadata.) Also, the transcript isn't keeping up a

Sure, but the same applies to Windows mobile. Why favor Windows over Blackberry mobile devices for a 3rd ecosystem?

Oppressive governments have long used the tactic of using invalid or irrelevant convictions to legalize all kinds of ways to control and abuse their targets. They can usually find some law that is being violated - the legal code is enormous

Why not Blackberry as the third ecosystem? They used QNX, a respected realtime OS, and had a history of making appealing, highly functional phones.

I appreciate the the public spending statistic, which adds a dose of reality to the discussion. At the same time, a few cherry-picked examples (Swiss and German railways) is meaningless. It's true the US spends a lot in absolute terms,
