Highway interchanges aren't good places for pedestrians or cyclists at the best of times. Just take a look at the current intersection.

Taxis existed before Uber and Lyft. What's being touted is that AVs will be cheaper and more available than ridesharing, the same way ridingsharing was to taxis.

As the video points out, what you're describing is very similar to what was said about Uber & Lyft. At first glance, a cheaper, more available taxi service seems like it should reduce road usage. However, that assumes car trips are replaced by rideshare trips. In actuality, when Uber & Lyft have entered a market, it has resulted in increased road usage. This is because of induced demand, and if rideshares are replacing another form of transportation, it's usually public transit, walking, or biking, not driving.

Biased. Blech.

Yeah, but it was also written at a time when the most advanced armaments available were bolt-action rifles.

Actually, according to Wikipedia, "The first bolt-action rifle was produced in 1824" so that's decades after the second amendment was ratified.

He’s not wrong, exactly. The second amendment doesn’t say “keep and bear some kinds of arms”, it just says “keep and bear arms”.

It's kind of vague though. If a kid asks, "Can I have ice cream," and their parents say, "Yes, you can have ice cream," it doesn't mean the kid can have whatever ice cream them want and in whatever quantities they want.

As a non-American, I always find it funny how some people revere the framers as having future vision and somehow infallible.

I too wish the developer would respond, but I don't think this is the catastrophe people are making it out to be. One comment seems to explain why these binaries are included:

Because ventoy supports shim, and by extension secure boot, these files needs to come from a signed Linux distro. In this case they are taken from Fedora releases, and OpenSUSE apparently, as they publish shim binaries and grub binaries signed by their certificate.

Because why not 🙂

Because security.

As a Canadian, I read 141 and thought, "141 km/h is pretty fast, but that's not international news fast." Then I saw it was mph!

Driving that fast on a closed course while sober with complete focus is dangerous. Yet this guy was drunk and texting on public roads.

“Sometimes mistakes happen," he said. "But I’m not a bad person.”

AFAIK, no mistakes happened, those were all choices. And by making those choices, yes, you are a bad person.

For each count of not paying the helper's salary no later than seven days after it was due, Wu could have been jailed for up to a year, fined up to S$10,000, or both.

Instead she received no jail time and one S$10,000 fine when there were dozens of counts.

He argued it’s easier for customers to “point fingers” at grocers like Loblaw than at other players in the supply chain or global factors leading to higher prices.

Given Loblaws has control over a lot of that supply chain and has record profits over the last few years, so...
