Federation isn't something that can be added later. This has to be part of the protocol from the start.

For the first violation, they chose to go for 0.5% instead of the 10%. I’m not holding my breath.

That's equivalent to a parking fine for regular people. I know many people who would risk a parking fine if it means that they save a few minutes of searching for a parking spot.

You can buy just the motherboard of a Framework laptop and build something around that. There are even cases for them available to print.

anlumo , 1 year ago to Technology in The Velomobile: High-Tech Bike Or Low-Tech Car?

This might be very specific to the US. Here in Europe, SUVs aren’t nearly as prevalent, and trucks don’t drive on the same roads as cyclists do. In my experience, when I'm going 30km/h, I’m no longer a roadblock for cars.

However, bike paths aren’t designed for the kinds of speeds you'd get with that thing. I'm driving an e-bike, and I have to brake to a near standstill whenever I get to a bend in a bike path, because for some reason the planners think that bikes can turn on a dime. Also, in my city we have a lot of mixed bike/pedestrian paths, and pedestrians don’t appreciate it when you drive by with 30km/h within a few centimeters. I've also had people who froze like a deer in headlights when I approached.
