I have to give it this much respect: When I logged in to office.com (for work) recently and was confronted with the Copilot chat-box, I asked it how to disable Copilot. It was honest, and told me that it’s not possible because this is Microsoft’s new product strategy. Then, I asked how I could never see Copilot again.
It (no joke!) told me to install Linux.
Will this reduce premiums, or boost insurance company profits?
Facial recognition apps, eh? So, it wouldn’t even have to have been the same agents who recognized Alex Pretti in order to murder him in retaliation.
Is this the same Ireland where a TD couldn’t get into Dublin to propose a congestion-mitigation policy to the Dáil Éireann because he was stuck in a traffic jam for THREE AND A HALF HOURS? But, yeah, go ahead, discourage bicycling with punitive laws. What could go wrong?
Since it’s a heavy rail project with one stop, and it’s L.A., I would expect a giant parking lot at the station on the San Fernando side.
The frustration here is that the common refrain whenever somebody proposes a bike lane anywhere is, “It’s bad for business! Where will their customers park?!”
It’s completely bogus, which a snowstorm makes manifest: Without the snow, we can pretend that these cars belong to the drivers allegedly stopping to patronize local businesses. With the snow, we see the truth that space is here used by three people to store their private property for a week. This example illustrates why experience shows, over and over, people walking and biking are better for business than people in cars. Hundreds, or even thousands, of potential customers who can easily stop in, versus drivers (non-customers) who are so close, but so far away.
In short, it’s not that people did what the city intended, it’s that the city is kneecapping itself.
