The California DMV routinely allows dangerous drivers with horrifying histories to continue to operate on our roadways. Too often they go on to kill. Many keep driving even after they kill. Some go on to kill again.
Several operators have announced their intent to operate on the high-speed cross-Channel route

There isn't long running strategic planning for this type of thing and no consistency in the volume of work, so the construction industry can't invest in having the capacity. That and risk contingencies are way higher.

A new paper by Ian Walker and Marco te Brömmelstroet, which you can read for free here, digs into why so many people accept the assumption that driving a car an essential activity that cannot be judged the way other activities are. For example, the authors wonder why more Americans agree with the st...

Urban highways are barriers to social ties
Attached: 1 image 🎉 New paper in PNAS: Urban highways are barriers to social ties https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2408937122 Highways are barriers that cut opportunities for social ties. We quantify this effect by overlaying the US highway network with millions of social ties from Twitter.

Cool thank you, I haven't heard of analog.cafe before.
I use a 40% (corne specifically) for full time dev work. I use (neo)vim so I don't really need any of the keys you mentioned apart from some function keys, for which I only have to hold one modifier and having them closer to the home row is much more comfortable.
Not quite as bad for the environment, and often just worse when it comes to all of the other reasons why cars are terrible.
We have that in the UK, the parties all publish manifestos before elections. I think it helps to get the message across and to be clear about what they are and aren't promising to do. They aren't, however, legally enforceable so parties aren't obliged to actually follow up on their promises.
Efforts to smooth cross-border train travel might improve the experience, but direct services from London to Switzerland or Germany are a long way off

I use it over other tools, but I haven't used the proprietary tools so I can't provide a comparison.
It looks like a hand coloured photo to me, which were apparently popular in Japan for a while
Cars are a waste of space.
I don't see it as ridiculing anyone. It's criticising the system that created this mess.
Blaming cyclists for something a motorist failed to do seems to be a uniquely North American thing.
I can tell you that it's also very much a thing in many parts of Europe.
You don't even need that many people before cars become impractical.
In two years presumably. It's been two years away since 2015.
So we can build things to a somewhat lower capacity sure. That helps, but what exactly does it solve?
Even if we assume everyone can work from home, people still need to go places for other reasons.
What's the difference?
Anti car doesn't mean completely banning cars. Nobody is saying to replace ambulances with bus trips. There's obviously a need and cars would be much more effective for those things if the roads weren't clogged with people who don't have a need.
Fast & frequent public transport, safe cycling infrastructure, footpaths, just putting things closer together to reduce the need for transport
The only solution to car traffic is building viable alternatives to driving. Alternatives also bring many environmental and societal benefits.
