I wonder what percentage of the US' already abysmal adoption rate is Amazon's EDV fleet. π
Not that I care much, the majority of EVs are private vehicles, which only serve to save the auto industry. E-bikes and street cars/trams/LRT are much more my speed. I only wish E-Heelys were a thing. π /sβ¦?
10 minutes later: I looked it up. It's only about 0.6% (~25,000/4M). The more you know. ππ
Much more tragic on average per occurrence, of course. But, I'd be willing to bet that the chance of falling down that slope is way higher than being hit, and thus the "average damage over time" is far greater for falls than collisions. People are really bad at comprehending risk. (See: dying from a shark attack or lightning strike being more common fears than dying from falling down the stairs.)
It feels wrong to reduce human lives to a numbers game, but that's what traffic engineering is. If there's a budget, it has to be a numbers game at some level.
If you're relying on GPS speed limiting, you've already failed at designing a safe roadway. It's a bandaid at best. Besides, how are you supposed to enforce the usage of GPS speed limiting on every bike? Regular bikes are just as capable of significantly exceeding, say, a 15mph (25kph) speed limit as e-bikes. It doesn't make sense technically, logistically, or politically in the vast majority of places.
I really hate that my demand avoidance is triggered by my own demands perhaps the most. π
The only situation this is relevant is if enterprise policy prevents you from installing Firefox. And even then, portable editions exist. So like... ΒΏΒΏΒΏpor quΓ©???
Only if you have the setting enabled to cycle in recently used order, otherwise it's just in tab order. I don't know why it isn't on by default, it should be. Defaulting to a different behavior than Alt + Tab is not user-friendly IMO.
At first I interpreted that title to mean that WA's toll road rates are determined in part by how many people have died on them within a certain time window, and I thought to myself "Damn, that's a really morbid strategy. But, perhaps also strangely... effective?? Or at least one would think, but apparently not."
The number of people in college that didn't know Office has built-in citation management boggled me. Or how tab stops work. Or how to use fricking styles and page templates instead of setting everything manually (that one goes for PowerPoint as well).
...then again, most of them used Google Docs. sigh
Seems more accurate anyway, it's not like the concept of recycling even exists digitally. I understand why Windows did it way back when to raise awareness of recycling, but nowadays it's just a bit silly.
I don't think the ADHD necessarily gets worse, it's more often that the consequences get worse.
I.e. the intensity of the disorder relative to a given set of stimuli doesn't increase, but the average significance of the stimuli (and consequently the outcome of one's reaction to them) does increase.
You could argue that's a meaningless distinction, but perhaps it's a helpful change in perspective for someone.
Be the change you want to see in ~~the world~~ yourself.
Fake it 'till you ~~make it~~ feel it.
I would add PairDrop to your list to have bookmarked. It's completely web-based so no download required and thus fully cross-platform. It also works across different networks (i.e. over the internet) by pairing devices or creating a room. Basically Apple AirDrop, but universal and on steroids.
