  • You should be higher on the list. It’s a complex problem with a lot of moving parts - while the emotional support truck designs certainly have a fault in accidents due to physics and blind spots, people not paying attention and crossing the road with the assumption traffic will stop for them, or the lack of awareness of traffic when crossing, has taken many lives as well.

    We should control what we can - limit crossings to safer zones (crosswalks, dedicated traffic light crosswalks, crossing bridges, tunnels or underpass), require visibility rules for vehicle safety (reverse cameras, blind spot detectors, automatic emergency braking is what we have, we need driver visibility requirements better defined), separate vehicle and pedestrian traffic physically (barriers, natural and/or artificial), and teach driving and walking lessons to kids in school so they learn how to do these things, instead of letting the school of hard knocks teach them.

  • Browsing extensions are being discovered by directly probing them - over 6,200 of them - and they are particular extensions tied to religious, political, and neurodivergent use cases. This is more than just browser fingerprinting - it is breaching the privacy of the user and profiling them in ways deemed illegal in the EU (GDPR) and even California. That doesn’t include the tracking cookies, either.
