Perfection will never exist. Rational people seek overall incremental improvement. Delaying improvement costs lives. Autonomous vehicles are already safer overall than human drivers - especially human drivers who lose consciousness behind the wheel like this bus driver and many other bus drivers.

Most people are used to dealing with consumer-grade machines. Industrial-grade machines are far more reliable. Nothing's perfect. Overall risk of people being harmed by quality, well-tested, automated enforcement is far less than no enforcement. The Grappler was invented by a roofer, not a cop:
Turns out my brother had undiagnosed dyslexia. Parents taught him to read at home using flash cards. I helped. He has strong mechanical intuition, short attention span. He learns better from short, well-edited videos. Many people do. People who can repair stuff & build recycling bots are needed.
Fresh salads & hot meals from supermarket delis are much cheaper than junk food once you take into account massive medical cost of addictive junk food. Remotely-operated or autonomous delivery cycles can slash delivery cost by 95% or more. No big deal if such a delivery cycle gets squished by a bus
Related: Calf muscles are viewed as a "second heart" by some. Still not mainstream medical knowledge.
Some billionaires finance things that benefit all. Other billionaires sell addictive junk food, lethal monster trucks, oil tinged with blood & addictive SSRIs. Would you make short trips in a heated or air conditioned mobility scooter on a protected cycling network? More practical than transit.
Can you safely enter and steer/brake a heated or cooled mobility scooter like this?
It would cost a fortune to put a cop on every corner. There are better things to spend the money on, including providing cops with advanced paramedic training and devices like The Grappler.
Almond production consumes orders of magnitude more water than data centers. Mediterranean countries use plentiful rainwater to irrigate almond crops. Buy Mediterranean almonds. Data Centers built for video streaming (Netflix, etc.) can be easily repurposed to telemedicine serving rural hospitals.
Best place to locate a data center is in the middle of a northern industrial greenhouse cluster. Local greenhouses save massive amounts of diesel otherwise used too haul fresh produce long distances. Waste heat can also drive chillers. Most prairie farmland is former natural grassland.
European & Asian stats are more credible on safety of autonomous vehicles. American stats are badly distorted by political campaign contributions.

While banning social media seems like the easy solution, in fact it's letting Big Tech off the hook and placing the burden to protect themselves on children and families. That's how we see it. What do you think?

Plato knew a thing or two. Problem is our governmental system still ignores his advice. In the UK our electoral system is specifically designed to enhance these shortcomings. If we don't get electoral reform before the next election, the consequences could be catastrophic for this country.

There's a lot of talk about drilling for oil at the moment. Those decisions should be determined by economics and engineering, not ideology. From my interview on 7.30 last night

We have public transit. We have space. We should be building more housing right here. This is how you make a city more affordable and easier to live in.
Despite tanking poll numbers, the president continues to celebrate an economy that looks very different from reality. @stephruhle.bsky.social breaks down the facts.

Since you will have more than one hit by default in this game I changed the way the enemy hits you, now instead of removing the control you can move a little while sliding and you recover immediately, I need to adjust it a bit but it works well. #godotEngine #godot #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart
