BYD has a factory in California where they make electric buses and commercial trucks.

I think ebike, scooter, etc. usage will increase even more if we mod infrastructure to be safer for everyone.

A lot of Brazil is in the tropics, so no, not winter kinda latitudes.

But Brazil also extends to something like 33° South, where winter starts in June.

Is porn intake measured in sieverts or mW/cm² or what?

What level is considered safe?

Asking for a friend.

I’m going to go look for an update on DeepSqueak…

Someone here is seeing this xkcd for the first time just now…

I think most computer vision cameras are fairly low resolution, so I’m not expecting the hit-and-run vehicle will be identified.

Maybe make the fines scale with the mass instead of linear size.

“Hi!” the automation greeted the man on the sidewalk. “You are being recorded!”

If there was only some governing entity that would prioritize the good of the whole community instead of selfish interests.

It’s probably 10 miles to Walmart, and many other daily or weekly destinations are spread out in your town.

If folks need a car for just a few basic things, then they are much more likely to use that car for all of the things.

Linton notes that the agencies purposely divided the 405 expansion into segments under one mile to qualify as ‘auxiliary lanes’ that are not subject to a full environmental review.

Sorry, I tried! It took me several tries to find a way to download the vid, and when I tried posting I saw this:

We are working on resolving the issues

Over the next few days, there will be a change in server infrastructure. Temporary problems with the website’s functionality may occur during this time.

If you don’t have a cone available, maybe a bit of tape on a sensor window?

I haven’t tested this.

Without reading the article, this smells a lot like #enshittification

At what point do lawyers cite a SCOTUS decision as precident and their opposition is like “yeah but that’s an Alito decision” and they’re like “oh yeah, oops.”

I’m surprised this isn’t a named sort of cognitive bias. I think there’s a related thing where we humans tend to cite external causes outside our control when we are unfortunate or make mistakes, and we tend to cite our own virtues when we are fortunate and successful.

I agree with all of that. My intuition is that prior to curing, the polymers are less stable and may change in unpredictable ways depending on subtleties in the storage environment and handling. After curing, the polymers are much more stable and durable.

Metals definitely are more forgiving, and we have better tools for testing, especially non-destructive testing. Whether the CF flaws are due to fatigue or workmanship, it’s easy to miss them in inspection.

I’m also curious what the sub designers saw as the advantage of CF for this application. Is light weight really all that advantageous for a submersible? Generally no one chooses CF if they are prioritizing cost.
