Are you using marketing statements as evidence of... Anything?
That's almost never a good idea.

That quote isn't referring solely to this specific intersection design.
But yes it's also safer for bicycles and pedestrians. Just not as safe as not using cars.

And spending $25 million on a 25th train instead, wouldn't make this interchange 60% safer. Or even 5% safer.

Again. It's better. Nobody claims it's perfect.

None of which are problems they're actually trying to tackle.
They improve traffic a bit (not solve), and are substantially safer. They're only meant to do those 2 things, and they're good at it. Nobody thinks a single intersection idea will fix transportation as we know it.

That's just your status quo bias.
This video explains how it's remarkably better.

A search index isn't a public facing search engine or service.
They're building a common database for them to both use, as well as others.

So trying to beat Brave or any other search provider, isn't the goal of this project.
It's about creating a new index, Brave, or Bing, or other search providers could use if they wanted.

Oh! Now I get it. You're talking about something I wasn't. It's true none of that has anything to do with the rules specifically, like I thought. But instead, you want to talk about some broader point we weren't thinking or talking about. Okay. Yes your right. It matters to the larger situation, beyond the scope of our immediate discussion. Thank you for explaining.

I'm not sure how any that matters to any campaign finance rules that might prevent Biden from giving his war chest to another candate?

People don't even take turns in a circular firing squad.
I have no idea what you're talking about any more.

Neutrality is about not treating some forms of data different than others.
Data caps are still neutral. They don't care what kind of data you use, only how much.

That's not to say they aren't a problem. Just a different one.

It's not an argument. It's an excuse.
A post-hoc justification, given as a robotic response to my explaining how it's false.
In this exchange it's literal nonsense.

This is objectively FUBR. But is Fuck Cars against ambulances?
I'm not against ambulances!

That could be.
That's not what I was thinking.
Thinking again, that seems quite likely.

 

Kagi AI Summary

The New Mexico Coalition to End Homelessness organizes an annual point-in-time count of the homeless population in Albuquerque. Last year's count found over 2,300 homeless individuals. Volunteers will canvass the city on Tuesday to survey unsheltered people and those in shelters. The count provides data required for federal funding and gives officials a sense of needs. However, it is acknowledged to be an imperfect undercount, as it depends on conditions and willingness to participate. Notably, the 2023 nationwide report found that New Mexico saw the largest increase in homelessness at 57% over the past year, along with high rates of unsheltered veterans and chronic homelessness.

 

Kagi AI Summary:
The passage lists the addresses of various food establishments in Albuquerque, New Mexico that have recently been downgraded due to health code violations. Many issues were observed like rodent droppings throughout facilities, food debris built up under kitchen equipment, and employees not properly washing their hands. Major violations included lack of date labeling on food items, food stored at improper temperatures, and chlorine sanitizer buckets lacking test strips. Several restaurants had gaps in external doors and walls allowing pest entry. Overall, the list shows that many popular food locations were cited for health code violations and risks to customers if issues are not addressed properly.

 

Kagi AI Summary:
The merger between PNM Resources and AVANGRID has been officially cancelled after three years of negotiations. While the $8.3 billion deal had overcome initial opposition, the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission ultimately rejected it in 2021 due to concerns raised by advocacy group New Energy Economy. AVANGRID appealed the decision but the court did not rule in time. With the deadline expired at the end of 2023, AVANGRID chose to withdraw from the merger. PNM had proposed extending the agreement until a court decision was made but AVANGRID declined. As a standalone company, PNM remains committed to transitioning to 100% renewable energy for its customers with or without AVANGRID's investment.
