Musicians pay royalties when they use samples. AI companies don’t pay artists for their work.

In two years presumably. It’s been two years away since 2015.

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.

As a brit I don’t see this being enforced in the UK. The gov would be too scared that trump or an ally would come to power and we can’t risk effecting the special welationship 👉👈

The video app, owned by a Chinese company, said it would let federal officials pick its U.S. operation’s board of directors, would give the government veto power over each new hire and would pay an American company that contracts with the Defense Department to monitor its source code, according to a copy of the company’s proposal. It even offered to give federal officials a kill switch that would shut the app down in the United States if they felt it remained a threat.

Yeah way before. I had a bit of a look through some announcements and couldn’t find it so I can’t say exactly when.

IIRC they changed the way they calculate the scores a few years ago, which generally increased the numbers you saw.

Clean-car sounds a lot like clean coal

Just to be pedantic, the dumb car tunnels (or Loop), are the weird thing elon “invented” to “solve” traffic and reduce competition for his cars for urban transport. This eventually became one tunnel in LA to get between elon’s house and office, and the dumb taxi tunnel in Las Vegas.

The hyperloop, where elon “invented” the vacuum train, is a separate thing that exists to distract from CAHSR, and elon didn’t want to work on himself because “he’s too busy”, and not because it’s effectively just a scam and won’t work, and most of the companies that started up to develop it have since gone bust.

They wanted to move and use thier car

Did they though? To some extent, yes. But most people just want to get places and will take whichever mode makes the most sense for that journey, and what a city invests in will make that mode make more sense for more journeys. There is also a portion of journeys that just won’t happen if they are too difficult.

Your last paragraph is tangential to what I said. It doesn’t disagree because it says something different. It’s also oversimplified in some ways and just wrong in others.

Beyond the fact that adding five more lanes would still leave you with a horribly inefficient transport system, you also ignore that externalities that you are exacerbating by doing so. You’re displacing thousands more people, worsening the division of communities, creating a lot of noise and air pollution, increasing car dependency etc

You have to be insane to do either in New York.

It’s deadly in Florida because people drive around the barriers at level crossings. That won’t be a problem here because there won’t be any level crossings.

Bad take. You couldn’t have pretty much any modern country without their previous problematic leader. You can learn just about them in history class and not honour them though statues.

Having a place in history doesn’t automatically mean they should be honoured. There’s plenty of people from history that we can all agree have made a huge impact and yet we wouldn’t want statues of them.

The original comment wasn’t even just saying fuck cars, it was a link to a community that discusses the types of infrastructural issues that allow incidents like this to happen. You say that this story isn’t about the infrastructure, but unless we talk about that, nothing will change and these things will continue to happen.
