Sadly you'll have to checkout of more than just "online" life if you want to avoid "corporations trying to watch and make money from everything we do."

Newer model car's track your driving, and most manufactures sell it to insurance companies. I'm not sure I read it anywhere but I bet they sell your location data as well and not just driving habits.

For the longest time stores have loyalty discount programs to track your purchasing behavior.

The cellphone in your pocket...

You forgot the advice of "don't run outside from a building." In the US, most buildings are going to be fine structurally; however, the facade of the building or glass, etc., may fall off.

In other parts of the world, it'll depend on the local building codes and their enforcement.

Hm, very little to go off here. If you can see problem with your behavior, and it sounds like you can't fix it, you should seek out real help.

A post on hacker news doesn't seem the place for it. There are probably better support groups/forums to ask in.

There are probably many questions to answer that would help you determine what it is. A few that come to mind:

  * Is this new or have you always struggled with procrastination? 
  * Do you have (or have you had) other symptoms of ADHD? 
  * How was/is school? 
  * Do you have some subjects you thrive in and some you fail at, and nothing between? 
  * Have you started a new job or role at work?
  * Do you like it? 
  * Any other major life events? Fired, kid on the way, death in the family, my friend on discord stopped talking to me. 
  * Does the procrastination apply to almost everything? 
  * Are you doing something really hard, succeeding at that and can't make yourself do other hard things? 
  * Are you saturating your brain scrolling on the internet and it doesn't have room for anything else?

There is competitive rock climbing. Rock climbing isn't all about physical strength, you have to pick your route. Eventually some military robot company will want to prove that its combat bot can out perform humans on any terrain. And we'll see best humans vs matches that can match and a few years later beat their performance.

Of course the professional competitors don't have to worry about competing against a human that's cheating using a robot; the exoskeleton would be obvious.

But it isn't unimaginable that, in some distant future, nanobots could be inject to infiltrate our muscles and tendons, and then assemble in to fibers that would assimilate with them and look normal from the outside. Competitions are won by incredibly small percentages.

Good point about Bitwarden, and the more we can convert the better. I think we can catch more fly's with honey than vinegar.

What do you think about trying something like, "Good points about using a password manager. I think Bitwarden is better than 1password becuase it: is open source, it can be self hosted, and you could switch to a fork if they get shady."

Because you wouldn't be implicitly calling them ignorant this way, they're more likely to hear your message.

Even if it is doubled or quadrupled, does it matter? If just 0.05% of the us pop is intersex I think her argument is completely valid.

I know you didn't say, "Well because they're so much less of them we don't have to protect their rights." But why say that numbers too big? What's the point? Are you trying to discredit the speaker?

Whether or not that is your intent it does seem to be.

Propaganda isn't to convince the critical it is to give the morally corrupt an excuse not to think.

The point is they still could. As in the terms as written, after the push back, would allow it, but you have their word they're not going to.

It didn't load for me.

The ice shelves, not all of Antarctica, gained ice. I guess you could read the HN title and think, "see Antarctica must not be getting warmer if it gained ice." Where the shelves could have gained from the glaciers flowing faster off the land, and amount of ice could still have gone down.

"... you'll need to complete ... such as doors, windows, electrical, plumbing and finishes."

Lol

Yeah, as someone who follows her and thinks she's a good role model for my kid, and having enjoyed the video the day it came out; it doesn't really feel like it needs to be in this space.

An industrial robotic arm made for chemical processing? Now that belongs here.

Fire/ambulance/police are supposed to be exceptionally loud so they can get drivers attention and then they can get through. (I expect you know this already, but I'm making sure we're all on the same page.)

Over time cabins in vehicles have gotten more isolated with better sound systems. Outside has gotten generally louder. Both of these things mean the emergency sirens need to be even louder for it to get a drivers attention.

I'm not sure if it is because drivers don't hear/see them or if they just don't care anymore, but almost every time I see a firetruck with it's lights and sirens on lately, I see it have to come to a stop and wait, get on the even louder horn, before drivers start getting out of its way. This isn't down the whole length of the street or anything, just once or twice before it drives out of my view (several blocks). I don't think I ever saw in person this before 10 years ago.

As I've already gone down the urbanest/transportation rabbit hole and have watch every Not Just Bikes video and other stuff in that space, I have a different perspective than you. I do think I would have shared some of your views a few years ago.

We don't need to come up with solutions. Countries around the world have already. Some of the larger cities in the USA have started making these changes and seeing results.

The solutions don't need to be comprehensive. While an accepted comprehensive plan maybe nice it does put all the planning up front and makes the projects take a very long time. Doing small things that push people to take other transport options doesn't need to take forever. As many cities demonstrated during the pandemic.

In the USA I think the biggest issue will be political will. But the one thing I'd like to see take off is cities removing parking minimums for new businesses or construction. The minimums were arbitrarily set and stop people from building small businesses. The parking minimums spread things out and drive the need to do something other than walk. Strong Towns has a video on it that does a better job than I can.

In short I believe comprehensive guide to being to reduce cars in cities exist at this point.

It isn't one person chasing two rabbits... This metaphor... It would be like a team of people, who have to work in the dark, trying to get food.

No one knows what their chasing, because they can't see it. Somethings are too fast but they will not know until they try.

There may not be enough lithium to power everything. Batteries may never be light enough for aviation.

It sounds like malicious (but not really) compliance would quickly get this solved.

This would go something like an open letter to management and the public.

"Dear metro users and management,

On X date we will compile with the rules. We'll all stop using our phones. If our radios aren't working we're required to run the trains even slower to maintain safety. (Hopefully that's actually a rule.)

We understand this will effectively shutdown the metro, but it needs funding to operate safely. We cannot in good conscious continue endangering the lives of our passengers and ourselves."

The public will demand funding.
