Something similar was done in Japan for walking and texting (or looking at your phone screen). Makes sense the same would translate to all modes of transportation including cars.

Though, jail time may be a little harse for communicating with people over a phone.

Any chance Jellyfin and Finamp have a music playlist and mix building feature?

Plex has this with Plexamp but I have not had a chance to look into jellyfin to see if a plugin offers something similar.

I hate building playlists, Plex offers a few different options like sonic sage, sonic adventure, artist mix builder, and automatic mixes based on past listening history.

I think your statment here is actual in reverse of what you may want to point out.

An increase in rent shows a induced demand for the property. More people are wanting to live in this location, thus the rents have gone up because of this demand. The rent did not go up because of the cost of installing those trees, but because the trees are there.

Similarly homes located near public parks, schools, hospitals, or transit may have a higher price tag because more people want said properties.

I love how in the article they call Yonge Street and Blood Street an arterial Road

Streets are for people that live along them, they are meant as “destinations”. They are meant to be traffic calmed as they are used more then just by vehicular traffic.

Roads are for moving motorised vehicles, they dont act as a “destination”, they dont serve the “local area” but are meant as a way to get you from one side of town to the other generally at high speeds (50~70kmh) with very little stops or driveways. Its not called “road parking” for a reason.

The trouble really is roadway classifications in North America. Traffic engineers need to stop designing every roadway as a “Strode”. Strodes act as neither a good street, or a good road.

Proper bike lanes with traffic calming is exactly what city streets need, and its a huge plus for the local residents and businesses. It transforms a highspeed “dead” road into a lively and inviting destination.

Final thought, the only well designed Road that I have seen in the GTA is a very small section of Allen Road.

If we did want to get our cities vehicle traffic moving, then this small section or Road connecting to a Street is a good example of this in practice.

Ford, his full name Douglas Robert Ford Jr. MPP (born November 20, 1964) is a Canadian politician and businessman who has served as the 26th and current premier of Ontario since June 2018 and leader of the Progressive Conservative Party since March 2018.

Unfortunately he’s seems to be the center of some questionable decisions that favour big corporations as opposed to the people of Ontario.

Some items include:

Trying to change zoning on protected green belt land to allow developers to build single family home subdivisions. The land was purchased by developers in anticipation to the change in zoning.

Releasing a liquor map to help individuals find alcohol, while a liquor stike was happening (somewhat a slap in the face for union workers TBH). This coincided with his push to get liquor into convince stores and corner stores while at the same time breaking a contract that would have expired in two years costing tax payers millions.

Killing a proposed recycling programs that would benefit the people of Ontario by making stores responsible to accept back recyclable materials. This program was ment to shift the cost of recycling from tax payers to corporations and business in a effort to push them to limit the amount of packaging used for products. The program was to function very similar to the Ontario Beer Store that takes back cans and glass bottles. (Unfortunately the future of the beer store recycling program is also up in the air)

Potential covering up of the completion schedule for new transite lines that were scheduled to be completed 2020.

The sudden shutdown of the Ontario Science Center due to a structural report stating a small section of roof might collapse within one of the buildings. The report presented no immediate danger but press conferences and Ford himself called the building a death trap. Many schools roofs in Ontario were built in the same way and are nearing end of life, no action or plan has been put forward.

The Ontario Place being leased and redeveloped into a luxury spa. This also coincided with the Ontario Science Center being moved to Ontario Place. The reasoning for this is that the Ford Government is contractually obligated to build a mega parking garage for the luxury spa. To justify the building of the garage it is to be shared between the new location for the Ontario Science Center and the Spa.

If you were the only person in a vehicle on the roadway stopped by a signaled intersection its probably very inconvenient for you, and you may ask for the signal to be removed as its a barrier.

Now if you add in all the other vehicle traffic that uses that roadway with you, that signal now serves a very specific purpose to make your commute more efficient and safe. Without that signal, that exact same intersection would now be completely gridlocked with probably a few collisions, meaning you would get no where quick.

That same light is also a type of traffic calming as it slows vehicle traffic to make the roadway safer for all road users, this includes pedestrians, cycalists and motorists.

Jokes on you, in most cases I deploy in 2-3 seconds.

And this is exactly why its so important to have protected and raised cycling paths to prevent altercations between the different modes of transportation.

This is also the exact same reason we have pedestrian sidewalks separated from vehicle traffic to prevent altercation such as this, and its why things like bollards, planters, curbs, and trees are so important between roadways and pedestrian zones to minimise stress both ways.

Safer roadways are not where we remove barriers for cars, but put up barriers to make traffic flow more efficiently and effectively.

ie. Barriers are things like signaled intersections, crosswalks, curbs, curb extensions, bollards, painted lanes, raised sidewalks, raised cycling paths, planters.

If you were the only person in a vehicle on the road stopped by a signaled intersection its probably very inconvenient for you, and you may ask for the signal to be removed as its a barrier. But if you add in the other vehicle traffic that uses the road with you, that signal now serves a very specific purpose to make your commute more efficient and safe. Without that signal, that exact same intersection would now be completely gridlocked with probably a few collisions, meaning you would get no where quick.

Could these have been done a lot better with greater design intent? Absolutely! Here are some great examples from a neighbourhood in Vienna.

Safer and more plessent streets (and roads) are about controlling the flow of traffic. Creating barriers is what makes roadways more efficent, its not about removing all barriers.

Looked like Toronto to me too. Very similar design to the Gardiner Expressway going through downtown Toronto between the waterfront and CN Tower.

I am guessing Shanghai China.

We don’t need AI to design nightmares like this for us. We do it to ourselves.

What if you take the red pill and its just another simulation?

I would recommended people watch Pantheon on AMC. Two great seasons and it dives into some interesting “are we living in a simulation questions”.

Comes down to personal preferences really. Personally I have been running truenas since the freebsd days and its always been on bare metal. There would be no reason you could not virtualize it, and I have seen it done.

I do run a pfsense virtualized on my proxmox VM machine. It runs great once I figured out all the hardware pass through settings. I do the same with GPU pass through for a retro gaming machine on the same proxmox machine.

The only thing I dont like is that when you reboot your proxmox machine the PCI devices dont retain their mapping ids. So a PCI NIC card I have in the machine causes the pfsense machine not to start.

The one thing to take into account with Unraid vs TrueNAS is the difference between how they do RAID. Unraid always drives of different sizes in its setup, but it does not provide the same redundancy as TrueNAS. Truenas requires disk be the same size inside a vdev, but you can have multiple vdevs in one large pool. One vdev can be 5 drives of 10tb and the other vdev can be 5 drives of 2tb. You can always swap any drive in truenas with a larger drive, but it will only be as big as the smallest disk in the vdev.

Intel Core i5 CPU 750 @ 2.67GHz with 16gb ram 165TB of storage. Motherboard is a Asus Delux 10+ years old. And a 10gb NIC. All inside a fractal Design XL case.

The hardware is by all means not top of the line, but you dont need much for a NAS.

I personally run truenas on a standalone system to act as my NAS network wide. It never goes offline and is up near 24/7 except when I need to pull a dead drive.

Unraid is my go to right now for self hosting as its learning curve for docker containers is fairly easy. I find I reboot the system from time to time so its not something I use for a daily NAS solution.

Proxmox I run as well on a standalone system. This is my go to for VM instances. Really easy to spin up any OS I would need for any purpose. I run things like home assistant for example on this machine. And its uptime is 24/7.

Each operating system has its advantages, and all three could potentially do the same things. Though I do find a containered approche prevents long periods of downtime if one system goes offline.

No worries, VMware or some of the other virtualization software’s should work in this case as most other comments pointed out. Probably the most simple and straight to the point.

If you have the urge to tinker, another potential item or route you can look at is a proxmox machine. You can run multiple VMs in tandem at the same time. This would run on a standalone machine.

You would then be able to remote desktop into any virtualized OS on your home network. You can use a software like parsec which I like to access each machine from a clean interface.

I run a Hackintosh’s dual booting Mac OS and Windows. So you solution is not insane as some have pointed out.

What I would suggest is maybe running a NAS on your local network to act as your share. Obviously this won’t help if you dont store your working files on your NAS, but its an idea. I know no way to directly share between the two machines as they are technically not on at the same time.

I would also argue “intent” needs to be taken into account, otherwise the general public would just be walking around destroying public and private property.

For example if a person walks or rushes through a door, and somehow the door falls off or breaks. Then that person should not be responsible for the damage, this would just be standard “wear and tear”.

If that same individual intended to break the same example door with physical force, such as smash the glass, or rip the door off the hinges, then this would be property damage.

Anyways, in no way should a worker have to kneel and beg in any situation, especially when they fear losing their job if they dont make the next delivery.

This article IMO shows a lack of worker protections and on job support within the gig economy. Workers should not have this fear, especially for minimum wage. If something happens to a worker during their shift they should have a direct support line, with support staff ready to assist.

I would go for a mosquito bite, and hope to recive teleportation. Though I do hope to keep my clothes when I teleport.

Eternity is good.

To name a few others, Liftoff, Thunder, Jerboa, Voyager are worth a look.
