I'm in Vegas. I see bike lanes. I see transit lanes. I see sidewalks.

I also see six lane roads through residential neighbourhoods.

As much as transportation experts talk about dignity, EDI, engineering safe environments, if we build it they will come. I think what's missing is land use planning.

We can provide the safest space, build the best sidewalks, bike lanes, or whatever, but if it faster to drive, and it's more comfortable. That's exactly what people are going to do.

I use to be naive, judging people, for not cycling or walking more. Heck I use to bike through industrial parks against transport trucks, rain, wind, and snow thinking I was doing the world good. And I'm doing my part to show people this way of moving around is possible. You know what I missed, I was time rich during that period in my life. Those others weren't and they want to be comfortable.

If you want people to walk, bike, or not take a car, make the travel time on parity with taking the car, and you'll probably get a better result. Dignity - EDI, ugh.

The transition over to the Spotify platform was a decrease in user experience.

Downgrade with video integration. Downgrade with search ability on audio. Buggy resume feature for both AV.

I get why he did it. YouTube was doing some weird speech shit at the height of Trump and COVID. It's wasn't like the minions at Spotify didn't try. Seems like the higher ups at Spotify is giving Joe more freedom.

I definitely consume less of Rogan's podcasts since the switch. But I do seek him out whenever a clip on YouTube pops up and strikes my interest.

Runbox user as well. Their support is quite responsive and helpful when needing to troubleshoot. Security is great, number of alias available for the price can't be beat. I agree the UI is terrible in the browser, even their latest "Runbox 7" is slow and sluggish.

I was at a vehicle AI conference early this month discussing how AI will only output based on the quality of its inputs. And the fear coming out of that conference was if space wasn't correctly dedicated or allocated, the AI will optimize the systems as much as it can to squeeze out every single ounce of efficiency.

Qualitative items such as the ones listed are important for customer focused environments, however, I'm not sure if AI can account for such factors.

This post is quite timely.
