I work in child car seat development and I can second that the main issue for our mechanical engineers is preventing neck injuries. Rearward-facing car seats really are a lot better on that front.

ADAC is indeed the main test, but even more difficult than getting a good ADAC score is passing the plus test[1], which focuses on neck spinal forces.

Can you guys produce easy to read installation and cleaning manuals and not something designed by legal department. I think I can handle complex stuff, but car seats are just next level.

ah yes! I knew I was forgetting something - the NCPS techs we talked to gushed about the AxKid that they had finally gotten imported to the US

I wish the Plus test included detacheable rear-facing seats too. we dropped quite a pretty penny on the Cybex Cloud T because of how well it scored elsewhere


You are correct, they state that on their website.

Anecdata of course, but my experience with Windows Hello is that it only works under perfect circumstances. Me just being positioned slightly differently in my chair is enough for it to not recognize me. As opposed to FaceID that has (for me) worked flawlessly for these past almost ten years.


This thread is full of people linking similar projects for different locations. The next step must be to combine it all to a global live map. Useful for... something, I'm sure.


We really need some open source project to manage all the shims across the world. Like in Seattle the WSDOT API has live ferry locations but they never made a GTFS feed for, so i made my own shim for it. I feel like there needs to be some way to make the data access easier for developers.


The nest step would be to map every human. Shouldn't be too hard, there are only 8B of us.


Guess Flock is trying that for the US as a POC ;)



We should also have a hierarchy:

Platinum - Real Live Location

Gold - Live as Estimated Where It Should Be From Last Observation

Silver - Live as Estimated According to Published Schedule

You Kidding Me? - Animated JavaScript...


I think subway rail systems do have "real live location", but whether that information is consistently provided to public distribution for use through apps is a question mark.

I suspect most systems are a mix of your platinum, gold and silver (and kidding me).


Lots of systems have some sort of real location data, but it can be... shaky.

In Dublin, train 'realtime location' is, AIUI, based on arrival at stations plus time-based estimate. This _usually_ works okay. Buses have transponders which register when they pass a stop. Or, ah, well, buses usually have transponders, and those transponders sometimes work. New buses sometimes lack them, as do very old buses used for covering capacity problems. If a bus without a transponder is used, they seem to just estimate where it is based on the schedule, which is useless. If a bus without a transponder is inserted out of schedule (they sometimes do this at peak time) it's totally invisible to the realtime system. Sometimes, the transponder isn't picked up, and then the bus will appear to hang around for a while and then abruptly teleport a few stops forward. Sometimes, a bus's transponder doesn't seem to start working when the bus starts up for the first few stops.

Still, it's better than when I was a kid, when you really just had the printed schedule, assuming the rain hadn't gotten to it.


Well, even if you don’t get your 50 cents back you usually have an incentive to leave the restroom when you’re done.


Does stretching the analogy help to ameliorate the difference betwixt a payment and a returnable deposit?


Be...twixt?


Yes, it's a word.


It's an archaic word.


It's one of my most favored of words.



IANAL, but that's not quite true right? As per your own citation, återgivningsrätten gives the right to use any piece of art (not in digital form) in conjunction with a piece of critical text.


Broken in Firefox.


Tried both Firefox latest and google chrome's latest desktop browser and does not run in either.


Works for me, Firefox 151.0 on Linux


Works in Firefox 150.0.3 (64-bit) on Linux.


Huh. It works for me in ff focus on mobile.


Isn't the simplest homelab humanly possible just... no homelab?


Seeing Miyazaki’s Pippi makes me so sad that we never got to see that movie. I’ve been reading a ton of Astrid Lindgren with my kid lately, and for many of them I see them in my mind’s eye as Myazaki films, and especially Pippi. Myazaki and Lindgren have a lot in common, I think, in how they tell stories from children’s perspectives. What we’ve got for Pippi movie adaptations instead are very poor things.
