These live action remakes are a copyright renewal play and nothing else. Disney doesn't care if the movie itself makes money.

Could also be useful for transport trucks.

So what you're saying is there's a lot of potential for things to get soooooo much worse when the rest of that ice melts?

Ford has the E-Transit and I'm starting to see them around a fair bit.

I was originally surprised too, but I think it actually makes a lot of sense. It seems like Air Canada is shifting their view to being a transportation company rather than an air company. They already run coach busses. From their point of view it could mean first dibs at passengers for longer haul flight. E.g. I could see having a booking platform that allowed a single booking that gets you to Toronto on HSR and then onto your Air Canada flight to the Bahamas.

I have a colleague who's German and apparently this has existied for a while. E.g. there are seamless connections from HSR to flights in Frankfurt.

And only going to get harder as EVs dominate more of the market. As the number of gas cars declines it's going to become less profitable to keep gas stations open, so more will close, which will make it less attractive to have a gas car, which will further reduce demand for gas stations, creating a downward spiral feedback loop.

With Norway becoming the first country to truly hit mass adoption it'll be interesting to see what the threshold is that really kicks off this feedback loop, and how fast it happens once the tipping point has been reached.

That EPA limit is per day.

Man, can we please stop grossly misusing that term?? In no world is the Ioniq 5 an SUV.

If they can manage to pull off the tone that the makers of the D&D movie did, then I can see this being good. But that's gonna be hard to do.

Answering my own question, the first part of the Slashdot summary is misleading: "with fewer than one injury-causing crash per million miles driven, compared to an estimated 64 crashes by human drivers over the same distance", when really it is "Waymo estimates that typical drivers in San Francisco and Phoenix would have caused 64 crashes over those 22 million miles."

However, that's still 3 per million miles, or 1.5 over my estimated driver's career of 500,000 miles. That still seems really high.

How can the 64 crashes per million miles make sense? A driver who does 10,000 miles a year would do approximately half a million miles over their driving career. So that means they would average 32 crashes over their driving career?? That can't make sense. What am I missing?

Mac keyboards have a USB-A port on them, so you'd plug the memory stick in there.

Yeah this is an internal NASA engineering "problem" in the sense that they know there's an incompatibility and now it's someone's job to calculate the best solution. Maybe it's flying up new suits, maybe it's developing adapters, maybe it's sticking them in the cargo hold. All approaches have benefits and tradeoffs and NASA wouldn't be doing their job if they didn't investigate and compare them. In other words, all part of literal rocket science. But the media loves to spin things as a capital-P "Problem" and make a story out of a non-story.

Because anthropogenic climate change is really fast, so adapting is going to be effing expensive and a lot of people are going to suffer in the process.

You're right, humans will adapt to any situation and we won't go extinct, but that doesn't mean it's going to be pleasant. There is no option that is "keep living like you're living." The options are:

a) spend a whole bunch of money and reorganize global economies to return the rate of change to the slower, "natural" rate of change

b) have the world change really fast on us, killing a whole bunch of people and degrading quality of life, and still requiring a whole bunch of money and a reorganization of global economies to allow us to adapt

Given those choices, a) gives us more control over the eventual outcome and is ultimately less painful.

This is a real bummer. Timeline is one of the most useful features from Google. I use it regularly to make sure I'm claiming all my business expenses when I look at my bank statements. During the height of COVID it was also great for checking to see if I'd been anywhere near exposure sites. And yeah, it's also really nice to be reminded of places I've been or be able to answer "what was that really good bakery I went to five years ago??"
