Behavior by cyclists certainly has a bias towards survivorship. Every other vehicle on the road represents a potentially lethal threat at any time.
Inadequate dedicated infrastructure for cyclists leads to behavior like "Idaho stops" that look counterintuitive to drivers, but improves safety for cyclists at intersections.
Horse-drawn busses predate private automobiles by almost a hundred years.[0] The movement to pave roads was started by bicyclists decades before the rise of the automobile.[1] Cars usurped preexisting infrastructure and drove out other road users, like trolleybusses and streetcars.
We have so thoroughly remade society in the service of cars that it can be difficult to recognize any possible alternative.
Paved roads have been
around for thousands of years longer than the bicycle.

And they used roads that already existed for transit and transport. People have always built roads.

This is some significant historical revisionism. You’re making it sound like all the roads were built for buses and streetcars.
The good roads movement is certainly interesting history. But I don’t think it changes the reality that buses are only workable because they are mostly piggybacking on infrastructure buit for other vehicles.
Of course, that’s rather the point of roads, that they are infrastructure that benefits many forms of transit and transportation.
Unfortunately it sounds like this program is designed to maximize revenue for the private vendor, not make roads safer by changing driver behavior. The county is also using this surface-level fix as an excuse to avoid more fundamental road design changes that would actually improve safety for vulnerable road users.
Other automated enforcement mechanisms like average speed cameras and automated tolling are more effective at achieving their purported goals. Ultimately, enforcement will always be secondary to proper road design in both cost and effectiveness.
It's a matter of scale. Objectively, yandex is a great resource, and Kagi's results would be degraded without it. Pennies per user go to them. The sum of the entire money that has ever transferred from Kagi to yandex is what? 30 seconds of EU oil and gas purchases?
That's really disappointing; I have zero interest in allowing a device like that on my network, or in spending that much on hardware for a single proprietary service that could go away or change its terms, or in having a service that only works with one device rather than many services that all work on the same device (e.g. Android TV).
Sigh. Where's the video equivalent of music stores for "just let me buy a high-quality DRM-free download I actually own" already?
Absolutely. Rule #1, always leave a paper trail when talking with companies. The social contract is long broken, there is no room for "off the record".
Yes? Quite a bit of time was spent in math classes over the years learning to use calculators. Especially the more complicated functions of so-called graphing calculators. They're certainly not self-explanatory.
What does it say about your skill or the depth of this tool that you haven't gotten better at using it after 2 years of practice?
One of this article claims that failure of AI projects is because the companies failed to train employees for AI. You do get value out of calculators without training. The training is there so you can unlock advanced more complicated functions.
The article come across as "AI can not fail, it can only be failed" argument.
Quick, without looking it up, can you tell me what the {mc, m+, m-, mr} buttons do? If you're asking "the what buttons?" or "that's not on my calculator" then we have an answer. If you do know these, did you just intuit them or did you learn them from some instruction? If you really did intuit them, do you really think that's how most people do it? (did you actually intuit them...)
