Cars are good in some circumstances, mass transit, in other circumstances. One size does not fit all.

Small, inexpensive cars would also be good in some circumstances, but the US auto industry, for some reason, struggles to offer something as compact as Honda Fit, or at least something as reliable as Toyota Corolla.

Agree with you, it would be nice to have small cheap cars, from my understanding it's two main reasons.

1) The amount of safety requirements that the US (and additionally CA) make the margins too low to sell cheap cars.

2) Most people don't want them and won't buy them (myself included).

Although I have lived in multiple towns where "golf carts" are legal and those were cool.

Did you, perchance, hear about San Francisco, CA, and the whole "Bay Area"? :)

Yes, the when I was there last year I had a great time seeing the sites, shoplifters, meth/heroin use in the open, shops closing. I'm sure the SUV tax will take care of that.

There’s still a stigma. I think people are worried that if it gets out that their startup was built with the help of an LLM, they’ll lose customers who don’t want to pay for something “vibe coded.”

Honestly I don’t think customers care.

I used the analogy to how online dating started. I remember [some] people were embarrassed to say they met online so would make up a story. We're in that phase of AI development, it will pass.

Cars are bad, but there are far more people driving a car than working in the automobile industry. The former has a better claim to societal health than the latter.

Cars are not "bad", and there are far more people driving than taking public transportation. Most of them prefer it.

We also need pigouvian taxation to make the $100,000 pickup and SUV crowd suffer, yes.

I'm sorry but the insufferable big city progressives have leaked their way into HN.

Your "need" is a feel good story with 0 chance of ever passing as Federal law, thank god. Pass it in your state if you wish.

This seems like a good place to randomly drop my thoughts on switching from a Samsung s20+ to a Pixel 9 Pro. The hardware is excellent in the hand. The display is great, battery life excellent, the UI is snappy, does all the basic things I expect from a quality device. Over all, no huge regrets..... but...

The scrolling in every app is just "different" from the Samsung, and in a "not as good" way. I moved to Pixel with the (as I now realise) very out dated idea that a Pixel phone would allow me MORE customisation and configurability than the Samsung/Galaxy environment. Oh boy, how wrong I was. Turns out there's a whole stack of Samsung bundled apps or ones available through their Galaxy store for free that I'd gotten so used to I thought it was default Android stuff.

I miss:

  - per app volume control  
  - nav bar customisation  
  - lock screen config  
  - many of the good lock apps  
  - shake for torch  
  - the samsung camera app  
  - control of what apps CAN run in the background (the pixel murders everything)  
  - subtle ways that Nova Launcher has problems
So yeah, next time I'm in the market for a phone I think I'm going back to Samsung.

I want Google to be better...

Funny, my S22 Ultra just died due to the infamous One UI 7 update bricking phones with a boot loop. Replaced it with a One Plus 13 and I'm very happy not to have the Samsung bloatware all over the phone. The Samsung backup didn't help me at all.

None of that stuff adds value, just locks you in.

Yes, this is part of Project Esther by the Heritage Foundation. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/18/us/project-esther-heritag...

US universities do a lot of research on Palestine and Israel's occupation and apartheid there. In addition, universities are naturally liberal and are targets of the right wing anti-education movement.

You call it anti-education, they'd call it anti-indoctrination. In the end, its all political warfare. Illegal immigration being similar.

The SEC has similar autonomy in regulating that you describe. Congress does not legislate the rules that the SEC holds firms to.
