An issue that most people are not aware is the possible switchover to ATSC 3.0 and the sunsetting of ATSC 1.0 for OTA broadcasts in the US. The main problem is ATSC 3.0 has DRM encryption when 1.0 did not. When ATSC 1.0 is retired, all older TVs will need a new device to decrypt OTA signals. Complicating this transition is the ATSC 3.0 deployment has been poorly and stupidly managed. It was rolled out last year with zero compliant and "authorized" boxes. As such many new TVs especially budget ones do not have the decryption hardware because the standards body took so long to authorize devices/manufacturers.

Does it make more work than it saves, or will it replace character artists and level designers?

Well, large trucks have 1.3-1.4 accidents per 100 million vehicle miles, vs 1.5-1.6 for passenger cars, so... better than everything else on the road?

Also, maybe if we are a little better at stopping illegal and illiterate drivers that might improve even more.

Is anyone MAKING you work there?

Fucking walk away. Jesus, why is this hard?

Boss: "Do this thing I want"
Employee: "No"
Boss "We will fire you"
Employee "OK" ...I get it leaving a job is scary. But I'm not super-buying that as these are STARTUPS. You haven't been there 5 years or more.

No, what's happening here I suspect is that people are lured into a job that's too good to be true.
If that's the case, and you were hired under a set of understandings and they CHANGE the understandings midstream, then you have an actionable claim. Companies can't change the rules without offering fair compensation.

Well said ...

Mod parent up more!

My employer already knows whether i am in the office or wfh.
Most other jobs seem like they would as well.

Uh, no. Center of gravity isn't related to how high the driver sits.

Ah, I see, you think they should use low-floor buses. Those are a lot more expensive, have higher maintenance costs (especially the kneeling ones), require flatter terrain (buses don't go offroading, but where I live they can't stay on the pavement all the time and also have to contend with deep snow), and give up seating capacity because the wheel wells and rear engine intrude into the seating are. Their only real advantage is accessibility. City bus systems can't predict where disabled people will be, so all buses have to be accessible.

School districts, on the other hand, do know where the disabled kids are so it's much more cost effective to buy and operate less expensive buses for moving the 95% of the kids who can climb stairs and to operate a separate fleet of smaller buses equipped for accessibility to pick up the disabled kids. So, they save the money on buses and spend it instead on teachers and classrooms.

As a taxpayer and a parent and grandparent, I think that's the right choice.

Dude, your confirmation bias is running circles around you.

Okay... but what does that have to do with the center of gravity? And those sticks are just as important for rear-engine buses as for front-engine buses, though they probably don't have to be quite as long.

In Utah I don't think I've seen one of those for at least 20 years, and they were rare before that.

No, you don't. I'm sure I follow that a lot closer than you do. Any claims that the federal judiciary is already captured are just silly. SCOTUS is an issue, but look at all of the rulings against Trump. Even the appellate opinions that the news calls as in favor of Trump are basically all just staying the district injunctions until the merits are decided, and if you read the opinions, not just the headlines, you'll see they're almost always extremely skeptical on the merits.

Honestly, even SCOTUS isn't quite as captured as a lot of people on both sides think. They also seem to be giving Trump his way on the procedural issues, but almost always come down against him on the merits.

The ~900 federal judges in the system are almost universally apolitical, thoughtful and fair. There are exceptions, and Trump is working to get more of them in there, but the judiciary is very far from captured.

Hey if Star Citizen has proven, people will pay $27,000 for items in a game that has never been finished.

Based on what I have seen from the current CEO, long term planning is not his focus as much as short term investor gains. After all the last CEO spent a lot of time and effort trying to get back Intel on solid engineering. But those efforts close too much and did not provide immediate returns so he was fired, I expect those CPU gains to run out next year and the CEO wonders why AMD and Apple are kicking Intel's butt again when it comes to processors.

Interesting. What stick are you talking about? I'm talking about the thin plastic tube that hinges out from the front passenger corner and blocks kids from being able to walk in front of the bus. It clearly can't have anything to do with center of gravity or stability; you can bend it with one finger (it springs back).

Also, all the buses where I live (in the US) are rear engine and have flat fronts.

You didn't actually read the method, I think. In order for corruption to "build up around it", the entire (or at least most of) the federal judiciary would have to be corrupted. While that's not impossible, if it happens we'd have much bigger problems than pardons. And the fact that the judiciary isn't already irredeemably corrupt is strong counter-evidence, because the benefits of corrupting the courts are far bigger than the benefits of corrupting the pardon system.
