Or is this just another "trump did illegal thing but nothing will happen" kind of scenario?

More so than a typical engine above 25 to 30mph.

So sure, electric helps, but as noted there is more traffic than before, which doesn't.

As described by the nhtsa brief:

"within two blocks of a Santa Monica, CA elementary school during normal school drop off hours; that there were other children, a crossing guard, and several double-parked vehicles in the vicinity"

The "that there were other children, a crossing guard, and several double-parked vehicles in the vicinity" means that waymo is driving recklessly by obeying the speed limit here (assuming it was 20mph) in a way that many humans would not.

How about we build better infrastructure and regulate vehicles since those do actually stop this behavior. Most of those red lights and stoplights in the US should be roundabouts. Narrower lanes and other traffic calming measures should be much more pervasive. Vehicle size, specifically bumper height is out of control.

Compare US traffic and pedestrian deaths to the rest of the world, or at least a lot of EU countries. Its embarrassing.

Why didn't they just legislate that all social media apps content must be like Facebook in 2005. No recommendations, chronological timeline only, and you only see posts from users you explicitly added. That would have benefited everyone forever, and not enabled some small subset of apps to collect your govt id or the law to be irrelevant when the next popular social network comes along.

They effectively banned only the popular cigarette brands, instead of regulating nicotine.

If services would argue this would make them all the same, then add a clause where the user can opt in to have an algorithm shove content at them like now if they are over 18.

This way everyone can use the basic service for true socializing, but the harmful stuff is actually regulated out by default.

Too much money etc for this to ever happen, but geez they could have done a lot better.

Just dont discount what several hundred bucks means to way too many people in such a prosperous country.

Heck annual social security average is 24k a year, so you are talking about nearly 4% more money for just those people alone.

Jokes aside, a true agi would displace literally every job over time. Once agi + robot exists, what is the purpose for people anymore. That's the doom, mass societal existentialism. Probably worse than if aliens landed on earth.

Its great to here their algorithms are good for cyclists, a better solution is to keep investing in infrastructure that separates cyclists completely from cars.

Also, why does it take 10 seconds for activity monitor to show information? The list goes on.

If only Mac hardware officially supported Linux, I would never touch that macOS again.

Think about it this way, eggs go from $3 to $10. Someone with high income is barely affected. If you make min wage at $7 an hour its a huge burden.
