NCTD in San Diego recently had a meeting about a proposed H2 railcar project for the Sprinter line. The H2 fuel costs are running 4-16x more expensive relative to what was originally planned. So nice to see scarce public transit dollars funding H2 research 🙄

LOL…the support pillars are not that large. This is just concern-trolling on the part of Nimbys.

A lot of the FAA fee is used to fund the various airport facilities, so yes it does make sense to charge on per-passenger basis.

No, it is not legal. This bike path is part of the Bay Trail, which was enacted by State legislation, and served as mitigation for environmental damage done by Caltrans highway work. The BCDC was specifically created by the legislature to ensure maximum feasible public access to the Bay. So voting to close the path violates any number of laws and policies.

As for driving while distracted by the phone…yeah that’s also illegal.

This excuse is BS. Unpaid traffic tickets can already result in a bench warrant and arrest even without the court summons.

If you or I did this type of violation, the penalty would be criminal charges and jail time. Even the company founders were involved in piracy; i.e. not the actions of some low-level misguided employee.

But what if I’m searching flights through a search tool like Kayak? I’m not logged in for that, and possibly using a VPN.

It is spite coding though.

He probably has a bunch of gotos too.

Risk Compension predicts that drivers would simply use this new information to drive more aggressively, negating any possible safety benefits.

The point is that the US has gathered enough evidence to get indictments against them. Germany has access to that same evidence and has very similar laws that were violated – but has done basically nothing.

The Board had discussions about how to stonewall California. US prosecutors have filed charges against the CEO but Germany won’t extradite.

They are all guilty as fuck.

Despite what the headline says, no execs went to jail. The two who were punished with jail terms were middle management.

Martin Winterkorn, the CEO, will probably avoid any serious consequences.

As Daisy was laid to rest alongside Kayley in a modest Mennonite churchyard, her father hopes her story sparks reflection — if not on vaccines, then on care, compassion, and the urgent need to protect the vulnerable.

‘She was my little girl,’ he says softly. ‘And they let her down.’

No, you let her down.

1 in 1000 given a working hospital system. Without the vaccine, hospitals would be completely inundated with patients.

Yes, and such intelligent systems can also optimize for pedestrian traffic,

In the US, these types of “intelligent” systems almost always degrade pedestrian traffic quite severely.

Speaking of cherrypicking…the report also counts that Cybertruck in Las Vegas loaded with fireworks and gas canisters, where the driver died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

I believe 4 of the 5 Cybertruck fatalities were from a single crash. While the truck may indeed be dangerous, there is hardly enough data yet to draw conclusions.

Indictment does not require unanimous vote.
