Is there a non-automatic light enforcement other than placing a policemen at every light - which makes the light useless? Revenu generation is a bonus point: in my country taxes that incentive smokers…

While I agree with your sarcasm, this proposal is a least bad scenario: no enforcement is worse as there’s less incentive to respect the lights. Sadly money and power buying freedom of law isn’t restr…

Speaking of deforestation: > Globally, 77% of soya is produced for animal feed, 19.2% for direct human consumption and 3.8% for industry (biodiesel, lubricants, etc.). https://www.defore…

That's fair, everyone's optimize for their own incentives. I don't think knowledge is involved here. Hardware tax just isn’t directly paid by the people making the decisions so it it&#x…

As a former React developer, I can't help but look back at the monsters we created. We spent a decade optimizing developer experience, only to outsource the hardware costs to the user’s RAM. 2013…

Internal gear hubs are pricy but great. I’ll strongly advise against a conventional derailleur with a mid-drive motor: the derailleur needs a thinner chain which wear faster, especially with a motor…

Not sure if you’re straw manning intentionally so I’ll imagine the best: a misreporting of his words. Here they are: > One winter when my roommate and I both were navigating our latest setbacks, we…
