Let's not downplay how fast 20mph is on the sidewalk. When you're expecting people to be moving at 4mph, 5 times that is ridiculously fast.

Additionally, according to your article, they are capped at 28mph. Which is stupid fast on a sidewalk.

Because they aren't talking about just any-old drones, it's about how they've become so cheap. So saying "well, drone technology is old so it's funny to see them calling it the future!" shows you didn't read the article.

It's funny how often I come into the comments and read something that belittles the article, when they clearly didn't read the article because they are getting basic facts wrong.

For those while care what the article actually says, someone copy pasted it below. But let this post be a reminder that the vast majority of responses to the article are simply people applying their prejudices and assumptions to the headline.

Thanks for the citation, I'll look into it.

I watched most of the video, it's primarily about safety. It's says the growth is mainly due to the regulations not applying the same to light trucks, which SUVs are classified as. This seems to contradict the claim that I was asking about.

If there is something about the state subsidizing the vehicles and I missed it, I would appreciate a time stamp. Noone needs to convince me that suvs are unsafe and an environmental disaster.

Taking a guess, but it would lead to people replacing their tires less often, making cars more prone to accidents, and thus probably being counterproductive and more dangerous.

It should be linked to what a driver has to do (e.g. registration) so they can't try to minimize the cost by delaying it, especially with maintenance.

That’s because the USA subsidizes bigger trucks as “work vehicles”.

Can you cite this? Don't get me wrong, I understand that if it's actually a work vehicle you probably get some tax credits/breaks, but I highly doubt many consumers are getting these breaks for buying large vehicles.

best of what the 90s or whatever had to offer.

Yo, you best stop talking about my 90s music like it's old. Save that for the 70s and earlier music. You know the stuff that happened before I was born.

I guess we just use a very stripped down version of jira, because it's really just enter an issue, brief explanation, and further documentation to help whoever comes to fix it solve it faster. If it takes me longer than 5 minutes to create a ticket that means I've spent way longer than usual.

I think of it as a good place to keep a record of know issues or desired improvements, so they don't get forgotten.

Funny I find jira to be very useful for a nice centralized location of where we keep issues that weve come across and will, at some point, handle, but are not going to get to now.

Other than our team lead, I don't think any of our managers even look at it.

I've seen it enough both ways to disagree with one being the standard.

So you accept that there can be a minimum range, but they should just hide it.
