You know the political parties are private organizations, right?
This sounds cool, but troubling because of its license. Trying to write a linux compatible kernel and licensing as MIT is basically asking to get railroaded by gigantic organizations. I hope they reconsider in the future.
Gentooo, the only reason I' use it is so I could bring up systems on old architectures. Besides that it really isn't worth it.
Proof that we still need the GPL
This is the correct take. Copyright as a concept is just flawed, especially in a world where you can sell those ideas.
Grapes of Wrath is a great song, it's not some "audible ad". It's weird that one of their best songs in years is being characterized like that.
Self driving buses on fixed routes sem like a good idea to me, self driving cars not ao much.
I kinda thought the ending was underwhelming, but I enjoyed the series overall.
I think that'll probably end up happening, a shutdown would not be good politically for the republicans.
It really needs to be opt-out, but this is a good start.
I remember there being a person who spoke out about the working conditions in conjunction with the employee handbook on reddit. Looking back, I wonder if that was Madison.
Seriously, why is this idea being thrown around? It's not based in reality, and just fuels into pessimism. I'm American, so I'll mostly focus on what I'm seeing here.
There has been so much progress, even just over the past decade. I think the reason that it feels like not much is being done is because the United States is so Massive. Even just New York can contain Beligum, Switzerland and the netherlands.
Looking at the US on a macro scale could give someone a picture of a country eternally doomed to have shitty transit and suburban sprawl forever. Thankfully, we have a beautiful think called local government.
There are a good number of places that you can go in the US that are very walkable and have good transit. Sure, it's not on the level of Europe, but it's definitely a good starting point if we're talking about progress. Especially if we're talking about progress within our lifetimes.
There are a lot of cool projects going on in the US right now, such as new rail lines, rail extensions, new BRT lines, and work being done on density. And of course roped into that we can't forget about the massive California High-Speed Rail project, which if successful could have major implications for rail in the United States at large.
Is this enough? No. But it is real progress, and a sign that we're at the beginning of real change in this country for transit and walkability.
And if you still think the US is shit and you really feel inclined to move out of your current suburban hell hole, you don't even have to leave the US to do so. There are cities where you can go today in the US where you don't have to own a car and can get around by walking. Not everything is a 6 lane stroad with giant parking lots and dead strip malls. We have DC, Philly, Boston and NYC as prime examples, which may not seem like much but NYC alone has 8.8 million people and could sure as shit fit way more.
Sure, we may never live to see the whole US become the netherlands, but I don't think it's unrealistic to think that certain places in the US could be seriously be at that level within our lifetimes.
