NYC has really cracked down on excessive honking. It's nowhere near as bad as it used to be.

Shouting and middle fingers are still common.

I rarely hear anyone in the US honking outside of maybe the downtown of really big cities like NYC.

Yea, I live in downtown NYC and it's egregious. The selfishness of drivers here is frankly unfathomable

"More than half of Helsinki’s streets now have speed limits of 30 km/h."

This is the only secret.

People over speeding is what kills.

Drivers are actually calm in Helsinki, not constantly honking and slowly rolling into you in the pedestrian crossing either.

Alternatively, if you don't want to run the whole Electron app, the money is this line:

  sudo.exec("/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/airport en0 -z && ifconfig en0 ether `openssl rand -hex 6 | sed 's/\(..\)/\1:/g; s/.$//'`",

Nice, added it as a bash alias.

    alias randommac='sudo /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/airport en0 -z && sudo ifconfig en0 ether $(openssl rand -hex 6 | sed "s/../&:/g; s/:$//")'

Interesting project, though it's a little amusing that you announced this before actually confirming it works with AWS?

In the whole universe of intellectually honest, valuable benchmarks for transportation, do you think ride sharing wins on zero?

I’ll give you an important one as an example: door to door journey times. I support RTO, which is the best way to improve that metric for the average person, which is to say, I was hoping this would be a discussion for out of the box thinking. Or really, what do you invest millions of infrastructure bucks into? All of Uber was only a little more expensive than a single high speed rail line. Why can’t cities run ride share? Why would they run ride share worse than a train service?

Sure, if you don't count the vehicles and the roads – the actual _transportation_ bit

Related – is anyone working on an open home assistant? Google, Apple, Amazon are all taking so long to bring latest advancements across to their products
