This is fantastic, Antirender.

Upload an image of an architectural render and this will show you what it will really look like on a Tuesday in November.

Very nice addition!

I've updated my Bus Connects comparison tool to reflect the latest release of the map that just came out this month.

I feel like it's covered fairly frequently in the national press in Ireland, talking all about the logistics, methods of federalisation, how to make the unionists feel as welcome as possible, healthcare, pensions, civil service, changing of flags and anthems etc.

Europe as a whole has dropped the ball on this technology. Another tech wave passing us by.

The amount of self-driving taxi services globally is getting quite significant now.

This isn't science fiction anymore.

Absolutely.

I visited CycleSuperStore in Tallaght and even there, it seems they assume you'll drive and not cycle to the shop ๐Ÿคท

What do people think of Switzerland, Austria, Malta?

Seems like neutrality is a tactical tool that seems to benefit right now, and can be changed if need be.

I've often wondered if they even get that much money from these articles. They get clocks, but they're very low value advertising.

The value of a subscriber is surely much higher and this stuff doesn't gain subscribers I'd say.

Can't let something like that get in the way of the clicks.

I think researching and fact checking is directly opposed to Opinion pieces.

Honestly, I don't see much point of opinion pieces in 2025. There are so many ways to get your message out there, newspapers should aim for facts and trust imo.

You've probably got most of the people already, but I made a list here.

A new housing development in the Netherlands. By keeping car parking to the edges of the development it ensures that space directly outside homes is free for greenery, with space for residents to put seating, have community barbecues & where kids can safely play or ride bikes with their neighbours

Waymo to test in 10 new cities in 2025, starting with Las Vegas and San Diego Waymo is trying to shorten the length of time it takes to launch robotaxi operations.

Self-driving taxis have transitioned from the experimental to full commercial roll out state.

These will affect out entire transportation system, in good ways and bad.

You'd actually be surprised how complicated and expensive it could be to build a team to coordinate all that, and then get enough usage to justify that cost.

Even one content person and a part time developer to maintain it is already 200k a year.

Absolutely.

I've noticed that I'm more sensitive to this stuff since moving to Berlin, than when I was living in Dublin.

I've been following the cable cutting stuff closely. It's really wild what's going on.

Dangerous times.
