As a comparison, the Aventon Level.2 is their city commuter ebike. Stock, it weighs 62 lbs (28 kg). Nobody is carrying that bike up stairs, and it’s not a fatbike.
The problem here is people exceeding speed limits in populated places, creating danger.

Yes. For instance https://www.brennancenter.org/ recently did a tabletop exercise where they looked for all the worst things that could happen during a trump second term and looked for ways to stop them from happening. See (or rather hear) https://youtu.be/9SlnDvGHhBw

If you do end up eating one, tell us how many bytes it took.
One of the big turning points for Facebook for them to increase the difficulty of switching was cutting off RSS as a way to syndicate content into Facebook. After that, content had to be manually created in Facebook, instead of automatically imported from a third party source based on standard protocols. This forced people away from their chosen content authoring system into Facebook’s opinionated, inflexible, ad infested walled garden.
But here’s the thing: all those other platforms, the ones where I unwisely allowed myself to get locked in, where today I find myself trapped by the professional, personal and political costs of leaving them, they were all started by people who swore they’d never sell out. I know those people, the old blogger mafia who started the CMSes, social media services, and publishing platforms where I find myself trapped. I considered them friends (I still consider most of them friends), and I knew them well enough to believe that they really cared about their users.
They did care about their users. They just cared about other stuff, too, and, when push came to shove, they chose the worsening of their services as the lesser of two evils.

I spent so much time with this thing. Moon Patrol was my jam.
That’s because Nigel did the math on his fingers, and he has 6 fingers on his right hand.
Awesome. How much more time off to google software engineers get? I guess it’s none.
Does this mean “AI was used as a fancy autocomplete”? Because that’s my number 1 use case for AI like copilot, and if that’s the case, over 25% of my code is written by AI. But let me tell you, it still gets it wrong, repeatedly making the same syntax errors no matter how many times I correct it. It starts to get it right, then later reverts to making the same syntax errors, even making up variable names that violate widely known public APIs.
Tell that to the people driving the dirt road outside my neighborhood.
Moving towards the equator made me hate winter a lot less. Having more consistent daylight throughout the year made a big difference for me.
For a second I read this as “Dr. Strangelove” and was really confused.
OWC instructions for updating their firmware on macOS are basically “Install parallels. Install windows 11. Run the firmware updater.”

A few days ago I was messing with my ubiquiti dream router and its ssh config option said the key should start with ssh-rsa 🙄
