  • Eliminating vehicle deaths by making travel impossible

    And here we see decades of automobile industry propaganda in action. There is only the car, or no mobility whatsoever. You remember how everybody was just trapped inside their houses for centuries until the Ford factories started cranking out Model Ts?

    Cars will never be a sustainable solution to mass transit. The immense amount of waste in materials, energy, and land use will not be offset with AVs. I don’t think AVs are a bad idea in and of themselves. But, as the article points out, they’re not going to solve any major problems.

    I had never really considered how induced demand would apply to AVs…







  • My first thought as well. There’s a lot of anime that uses Christian imagery and symbolism, but I wouldn’t call Bible Black a “Christian” show.

    Actually, the show I’ve seen that had the most Christ-like themes was the first season of Vinland Saga. I haven’t gotten around to watching the second season yet.





  • Google and Apple are finally working together

    I think this is the primary reason. Apple only announced working on RCS support very recently. Once that’s out, I don’t really see a place in the market for this.

    And it isn’t just compressed images. MMS doesn’t support reactions, replies, typing indicators, or read receipts because it’s ancient. A proper, standardized replacement has been long overdue.

    Granted, I’ve heard that RCS is currently heavily reliant on Google’s own servers, so it could be argued as to how “open” this really is.
