i was gonna make a joke about maybe people would ride trains if they could be isolated in their own little sterile room for the whole trip so they don't have any risk of interacting with the wrong kind of people but then i realized that's basically what hyperloop or musk's dumb tunnel company are advertising themselves as ffs

I'm part of a beta testing group and got an offer of $15/mo for a "research project" if I install an app that tracks smartphone usage. thought it might be Neilson or a research project so I checked it out and lol it's Facebook quote:By installing this software, you're giving us (Facebook) permission to collect data from your phone that will help us understand how you browse the internet, and how you use the features in the apps on your device. This data will only be used by Facebook, and won't be shared with unaffiliated third parties. nope nope nope

i assume the thing they're testing is "how little can we pay people to give us full unfettered access to everything about themselves"

I'd let them give me $15/mo to track my smartphone usage, google is already slurping every wifi i see and my phone location anyway and I use precisely three apps on my phone - twitter, audiobook player, and google maps

i know this thread loves their transit chat so here's a video about 1937-era traffic lights i stumbled on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKMtNLGGpUQ key takeaway for me is that traffic lights were incredibly loving confusing before they were standardized. depending on where you were in the country they could have between two and four lights, you could just slam right from green to red, yellow and green might come on at the same time, or if you're real lucky they could have something altogether different, like this loving bizarre... thing:

i dont even understand how your traffic lights are so hosed up that you give them thought its simple: - look at the perpendicular light & you know when its your light in 5 4 3 2

Lots of European countries have an extra yellow phase after red, before green, to let people get ready. It's incredibly stupid. America does traffic lights the right way. Random fun fact: I learned this about Euro traffic signals after I had some British students in my Arduino class, which has as one of its first projects "use six LEDs and a button to simulate an intersection with a pedestrian-controlled signal." I thought the kids were just loving it up until I noticed a pattern among all the exchange students and went and looked it up

H.P. Hovercraft posted:thats exactly what happens and why they arent used here mdot just installed a SPUI on my commute route. for the most part I absolutely love it and Id like to see more them. that being said, i think someone hosed up the light timing, as people coming out of or crossing the SPUI moving east and then making a northward left hand movement onto the next surface street regularly run afoul of the through west bound green light. i have an incredibly low opinion of other drivers, but even i refuse to believe that so many people would blow through a red light on a daily basis. that timing has to be off. hope you enjoyed. thats my traffic lights light story.
