It’s sad and unfortunate but tons of parents drop their kids in front of a tv or iPad too. They’ll get the relationship with their kids that they deserve.

This is covered by existing laws and licenses you just need attorneys to enforce. I don’t understand why people think complexity can somehow avoid being a derivative work.

MBTA was sued and they’ve done and continue to do accessibility upgrades, very substantial changes for elevator and platform overhauls. MTA subway is hugely inaccessible

Send the raw data + metadata to the customer with some sort of cryptographic signature and they can then upload it on demand for analysis. We have a lot of cryptography solves for users holding their own data but no one uses it.

I yelled at a teenage driver (after he parked) for passing dangerously fast in a residential zone - he retorted that he was trying to get to his friend’s funeral … who was the driver in a speeding accident. You can’t make this shit up.

Everyone on the road should know and be following the rules as closely as they can, reality says people will make mistakes anyways so allowing for anything more lenient is just irresponsible.

That’s what I mean, there is no standard so manufacturers aren’t going to voluntarily make the baseline better.

The single worst thing about companies putting all their product information on public websites is going to their retail store and having to sit through an employee navigating the exact same site you have access to, but 100x slower.

I love how we build the most indirect slowest routes for bicycles. Somerville to the beach should go through Charlestown to East Boston.

Massachusetts has virtually zero car industry, little oil&gas industry , why do we continue to go down the auto path. Fund trains, trams, subways, now is the time. Raise the gas tax and fund more public transportation. Get cars off the road.

Ok, but isn’t fair housing the presence of an elevator and ADA layering on size requirements?
110
cjwl @cjwl.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
Isn’t it both? ADA also regulates elevators, get rid of the building codes and you still have to comply for accessibility. I’ve used elevators in Europe which won’t even fit a wheelchair.

cjwl @cjwl.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
It’s kind of interesting how accessibility in Europe is much more improvised than the US but is better than nothing due to ADA all or nothing regulations on retrofits.

Biking infrastructure is transportation, if the municipality keeps it clear of ice and snow it’s usable ——— just like the auto roads!!

Houses have this problem too! any sort of gathering sends co2 way up. candles are brutal for co2, flame burners and ovens also brutal. We have a monitor in the main area and open windows regularly.
