A Reminder that Protected Bike Lanes Can Make Streets Safer for Everyone. “A 2019 study spanning thirteen years in twelve cities found that protected bike lanes dramatically reduced fatalities for all road users on the streets that added them.”
It annoyed the heck out of me as a cyclist when NYC introduced them on my routes ~10 years ago because a lot of pedestrians then viewed the bike line as a safe space they could stand while trying to cross the street. But I do think they're the right thing in the overall sense as they make cycling feel more safe for the newbies who otherwise might not bike.
Ira Glass’s Subway Take is genuinely shocking: “Every podcast is better at 2.0 speed!”
I nearly always watch YouTube at 1.5x or 1.75x. 2x is usually a little too fast for me. (Hint for YouTube, < and > let you adjust the speed from the keyboard.)

I knew it!
Now it’s official, Ira Glass is clearly right

Halo Fund:
Halo Fund, a new $1 billion growth fund founded by Ryan Smith and Ryan Sweeney, today announced a strategic secondary investment in 1Password, a leader in identity security and pioneer of Extended Access Management. Halo Fund is joined in this investment by legendary technology leaders, including Flume Ventures with Sun Microsystems founder Scott McNealy and former Zscaler Chief Strategy Officer Manoj Apte. This transaction underscores strong demand from innovators and investors to join 1Password’s journey.
Well I’m sure this will halt 1Password’s rapid descent into enterprise shittiness.
I generally like 1Password, but the fact that it crashes every time I lock my screen since upgrading to Tahoe is indeed shitty.
A steam balloon could work in theory, but if the steam cools below the condensation point your trip would quickly end.

Despite a reputation for safety, the temperatures and surprisingly high pressures make them even more dangerous than the air kind, but the NTSB refuses to investigate accidents because they insist there is no 'transportation' involved.

Me looking at Vibes feed: this is screensaver. So boring. Why would anyone want it?
Me looking at videos I made of my own face in Sora 2: heheh I love this it’s funny it’s ME.
My feelings exactly.
I even like staring at screensavers sometimes. But the screensavers I like watching are Apple’s aerial (and occasionally, underwater) screensavers on Apple TV. They’re slow, peaceful, and real. Vibes is chaotic, fast, and phony.
/me: WTF is Vibes?
The New York Times:
John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics on Tuesday in Sweden for showing that two properties of quantum mechanics, the physical laws that rule the subatomic realm, could be observed in a system large enough to see with the naked eye.
“There is no advanced technology today that does not rely on quantum mechanics,” Olle Eriksson, chairman of the Nobel Committee for Physics, said during the announcement of the award. The laureates’ discoveries, he added, paved the way for technologies like the cellphone, cameras and fiber optic cables. It also helped lay the groundwork for current attempts to build a quantum computer, a device that could compute and process information at speeds that would not be possible with classical computers.
Can you believe these woke dopes gave this award to three people, and not one of them is Donald Trump?
OK, take a breather Grubes.
