You are right, some EVs cut corners and don't activate the brake lights in these situations:

I loved their commercial with now-disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong at the time for its rebellious competitive spirit:

It was purely a commercial for the brand - Nike didn't sell any noteworthy cycling products.


Many shoe manufacturers do this with running groups, it's good marketing.

Unfortunately my oddly-shaped feet means I've had more bad than good experiences when trying to run a few miles in new shoes.


It's fine for a passenger, especially in the back seat. But as a driver, it adds a potentially bright source of light right at the top of your vision, and that can be annoying as hell. I covered my roof and I felt more relaxed since my eyes didn't have to adjust if I accidentally looked too far upwards.

Indoors, we avoid lighting a room with single bright overhead source of light. But this glass roof fad adds it to cars.


What make and model? I have not sat in a modern car where this have been a problem, ever. I drive a model 3 Tesla with glass roof and there is simple no issues with Sun glare from the sunsglasses like filter on the glass roof.

Indoors most people indeed love windows, even moreso if they are roof windows. I agree dont hang a spotlight in your face, but that is hadly the same as the Sun, otherwise how do people their houses walking, running biking without roofs?


Customs and Border Patrol has been granted huge budget increases this year.

Bureaucracies generally need to spend all their entire budget to show that they "need" it to avoid losing it next year, so they are certainly going to spend it. (Also, expect increased corruption)


The content creator is using "Flock" as a shorthand for all surveillance cameras, which muddies the conversation.

Which is why I think traditional media outlets are much more trustworthy than random influencers when it comes to news reporting. They don't have a perfect record but have standards and ethics. Sadly it's not worth anything these days.

they have none of the above, they're still a little more accurate on average than a content creator though

Carfax also can report estimated mileage, but it might have a different flag in the system that allows override.

I've been handed a Carfax on my own car that has a reported mileage much greater than the actual mileage on the car, and the car has not been out of my possession.


Yes, it goes beyond Trump. A single election could be understood as a accident. A second election shows that it's not a mistake. And the US's lack of controls like recalls, impeachment, or snap elections shows its political system is much less democratic and responsive than it claims.

Here is a direct news link to the actual incident: https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/news/springdale-girls-cou...

The article has no mention of Flock

The details are they were caught with surveillance cameras, we don't know which provider.

Flock may not actually be involved. YouTube video titles are often lying clickbait, and the video description starts off with "Flock and other surveillance cameras..."

Might as well call them Kleenex surveillance cameras. The point stands.

No, people should say accurate things. If Flock was not actually invovled then it is just useless clickbait. Give your time to someone else who can report accurately.

Yeah read the full article and no mention of flock.

This newer incident likely won't be as controversial since the riders had actual weapons, not toys; and no claim that the Waymo "imprisoned" the riders, as many people seem to have previously hallucinated.
