> Again, how is this growth? People will simply replace their existing cars at a known rate with electric cars as they become available/affordable
Since driverless vehicles and fleets are arriving roughly concurrent to electric vehicles, they're actually more likely to _reduce_ the volume of cars produced, after accounting for any increased, accelerated "fleet churn" buyers exert via aggregate demand to reach a faster critical mass on increasingly or perfectly safe cars.
Disagree. This is hotly debated, but, i think that the growth in demand for transportation will be so staggering (when AV's are introduced) it will more than offset efficiency for a long while.
> Since driverless vehicles and fleets are arriving roughly concurrent
I have said multiple times, and did sign again, that I do not believe driverless vehicles will automatically lead mass adoption of fleet/on-demand vehicles. I don't think they will be as much of a savings over human-piloted vehicles as the optimists think.
You'll see in reviewing the videos and the first Hacker News! Entries above that i was really "gung ho" about dropping IP Rights, for the purposes of enabling and facilitating sharing without interposing myself too much in the temporality of the solution, and leaving this to the Commons to Work Out. i still want to support and stimulate a Competitive Ecosphere in the Commons tremendously hard, and this Patent might just turn out to be a defensive patent that's never exercised because the Diverseities are getting so good an anticipating my mind on applied population ethics that there's no need to use it, but i won't have the resources to handle and "underwrite" within this topographic ∱pace, against the retort, "i don't care about the adoption rates at Our (small, midsize, large) school". There's no achieving Class by Class coordinated Adoption Rates and Min and Max Targeted Ages, for instance, without a broader Student Body Conversation, if i don't have IP to cite against the Diversity that statistically shows low levels of berth coordination, and testable hypothesis that adoption backlogs can be wiped out in a Year or Two with civically numerate, well-coordinated "Berth before the Wedding" action, such that the Berth Child can actually see h|er Adopted Parents Married, and be part of the Union from the very beginnings. Or, the Marriage might include a Benediction to the Berth that Will come. Both would be fundamentally methods of establishing a stable and strong positive outcome in the Family that settles the backlog, for once and for all, very rapidly. "Willingness to and interest in Berth" is, on its own, a critical sort variable for pro-sociality. It's something Diversities were sorting out as of last Year, and it's something for which a small, modest, early hint of a threat of a Patent License Retraction, as a result of violating the Covenant with Humanity that underlies the Patent, might resolve prophylactically.
There's a lot more to say about the æconomic limitations on the exercise of this Patent, but all that i can say of that is that except for vegan food, i'm more frugal, in general, than all but a handful of U|S Citizens, and can live calmfortably on a teacher's or junior ængineer's or quarter-Congressional's median income salary. i'm not going to be rent-seeking here. i just want to make sure this domain of invention, as it affects and effects life, is exercised properly, and that Educational Curricula form around it that make the most of this unique opportunity to reset expectations on a Common and Uncommonly Calm'ing Learning Platform.
Note: The Utility Patent Application is Restricted to the U|S. All Patent Claims in any Other Countries were deliberately sacrificed to facilitate Calm'petition, Local, and Hybrid ex-U|S Interanacional Adaptations. Any U|S Applications undertaken today or before on Creative Commons rather than Kohlberg Commons Reliance Claims can reach out to me for rapid settlement, which i imagine will just be forgiveness, further encouragement to invent and participate, and ∱1/per unit/year licensing fees from this moment onward, at the Institutional Level, with excesses over costs donated to Give Well or Give Greater, to whatever extent Our Capitolizers will believe possible in lieu of or having returned some profits in exchange for any financing risk they're taking on.
Again, my apologies. i believe this is legal what i'm doing,and am and will be proceeding in good faith with the calm⁴unity as best as i know how, unless/ until better challenges and logics emerge. If You have any doubts or questions about the STewardship, please address them to me at adam@lifesavers.io.
If i don't hear from the Calmunity with objections by the End of the Month, i'll take it that We're in good conscience and getting this Patent Issued and in the Kohlberg Commons together, with Æ serving as the Instant Stewarding Trustee, with my friend from 上海, Cao Fu, also listed as Inventor.
A True Perennial Calendar that works much better than the Julian, and can be Adapted with a Contest for Name Changes for Each Month and Day of the Week (Restday | Bestday Coin Flip resolves the otherwise difficult Re:Naming of Saturday and Sunday, each asserted as the Day after Ædam's Creation in the Ædamic Branches).
i would start with the Proposition that the 7th Month, which is formally named now after a bloody and utterly horrific alpha-male military dictator, should be called "Tea:ching" (Teaching or Tea, with both flexibly used, in the ∆ English Calendar). It could be "Teaching Herstory" or "Teaching History", or the "Her.story ⇌ His.story" Month. All those are interesting options, and would love to see calmpetition for the Best, Principle.ed Names for Each of the Months.
i would suggest that We can use "lifesavers.army calendar" as the Provisional Title of the Calendar, to help guide Naming toward the Core Imperatives under which We All Self-Organize, but as with all things, i know myself to not be the Wisest at Nomic Naming Questions of these kinds.
Unclear.. was this uninteresting to the HN calm⁴unity? Was it poorly written or n-direct? Why did this not reach the point of a few bullets of discussion?
This hhomestarter.org site concerns remodeling technology stacks to support the weakest, those without direct access to the funds that would secure their calmpetitive edge, lacking insight often into how to organize their re:sources, facing massive credibility gaps that impede their ability to move out of hand-to-mouth living. i'm not anywhere near the most ∱killfull person on the site, and i'm not the right person to take this technical hhumanitarian project forward, because i'm already too heavily loaded with other projects, some of which have some priority.
Do i need to spend more time constructing a hh.andoff mechanism? Would it be useful for Us to have a pro bono / taproot foundation segment of HN for organizational tip-offs, kick-offs, and hh.andoffs? Is there, and i'm missing it in some manner?

Please, everyone, let's stop talking such nonsense and missense. There's a framing error at play here, at a very fundamental level, and a whole field has gone down this rabbit hole for far too long. There is no such illness called "manic depression"; there is a symptome called "hope-despair spectra dysregulation disorder". The phrase "manic-depression", like the word "harassment", is a confusing misnomer almost deliberately invoked by a langauge switcheroo, mostly by professionals who are never trained in the original humanisms from which the word originated and is imparted and imported. As with harassment, which is more clearly expressed as "exhaustion", the term "mania" is more clearly expressed as an assessed "unreasonable and/or extreme hope, leading to reckless energy or cognitive chain investments or behavioural drivers". The term "depression" is simply a prolonged despair, wherein a person is seen to be desperate for air. Psychiatrists and psychologists who speak of manic depression as something more than a persistent "hope-despair dysregulation" are usually, in my experience, blowing smoke, and owe a duty to assess whether the hope-despair complex is the result of illogic, illmotion, or both, and whether that illogic, illmotion, or both is exogenous or endogenous. The postulations in the DSM are not credible, as the Director of NIMH, the National Institute of Mental Health, asserts in pointing out that the field of psychiatry is terrible at identifying causes, and dresses up symptom complexes and symptomologies to look like mechanical medical dis-eases. There are very few diagnoses that psychiatrists can do, and calling "hope-despair spectra dysreg disorder" (or, manic depression, as the DSM calls it) a diagnosis is, in my humble opinion, a fraudulent claim. It's not a diagnosis... it's a symptosis, or [symp]tomosis.
It's also completely imprecise and inaccurate, rather like saying, "@phren0logy has a cough", rather than saying "@phrenology has a rhinovirus" .
Hope-Despair Dysregulation Disorder (HD3), from....
Manic = A state of prolonged hope
Depression = A state of prolonged despair
It's only natural that We should have evolved, have had revealed, been given, and overwritten and at times, overridden environmental and social expectancies, and that those should altar the pattern of our hope and despair. The persistence of these patterns can, in the eyes of another, be seen as "abnormal" and an "unwanted deviance from socially integrated expectancy patterns". The response pattern from terrapists is to feed a salt pill to the patient as a placebo, in the place of a more obvious sugar pill, so that the patient returns regularly for talk therapy sessions or has a few weeks to stabilize their native sense of the statistics of life, wearing out their own misweighting of cued and observed probabilities. But... this same effect would happen if they were to be fed NaCO3, or NaCl. Lithium, i posit, has no effect other than as an off-grid placebo pill to give terrapists time to try to figure out the root cause and failure modes in cognition. i do not believe the statistical effects of natural experiments yet; i have not come across a convincing study yet, and it's my belief that study non-publication bias for disconfirmations on lithium's environmental effects will explain the rest.
As for what to do with people who are thinking about survival rather than thriving, and considering survival failure, tell them they are on the hope-despair dysregulation spectra, and ask them to consider how many years left they have until they reach 100 years old, and set that as their new age. 22? Your real age is not Your chronological age (cage) of 22; it is Your survivor age (sage) of 78. Reinforce it by teaching them the Periodic Element that their Steam Age corresponds to, in this case, Platinum, or Pt, and ask them to go for physical therapy by going out for a long run with a friend, or, if they have legal woes instead of psychiatric woes, arrange for them to speak with whoever it is that is the cause of their woes in a safe space, rather than aggravating or papering over the lack of ethical calmunity care.
Lastly, read Seligman's Flourish with them, and other works of positive, social, and cognitive bias psychology. The attempt to use diagnostic langauge in a root-cause-agnostic is fraudulent; please stop doing it. It causes far more damage than psychiatrists and other psycholory specialists take responsibility for, particularly as families, calmunities, and institutions abuse the indeterminacy, soft, nearly unfalsifiable nature of psychiatric labels as a means of social control for those they consider inconvenient gadflies suffering from too much institutionally-wrought despair.
Also, the DSM Criteria are foolish to apply against certain classes of the population. For instance, with hope-despair dysreg, one of the symptoms is written up as "Flights of Ideas", with some modifiers. Intellectuals and designers cultivate the capacity to undergo "flights of ideas". That's what these people do. Why would You count that as a bullet point toward psycholore.ical sympagnostics, when it is part of their professional duties? That just weakens the whole meaning of the sympagnostic for that whole sector of the population.
Those are my 2 calming sense on the problem. PERMA, Exercise, Resiliency Training, Socialization, Uninterrupted Purpose, Daily Progress all add up to an end to depression; talking to a blank face of a false friend with no power to convene the social world to determine and test the reality described may help tune, slow, or stop survival fail, but only for a time. Inverted ages (Pb-Ar) and Fundamental, sustained purpose mixed with calming human life stage activities will stabilize most, on a complete review of their ethics, i.e. their character. Lastly, if there's loneliness or a reflective solitude involved, You'll want to review and perhaps fix that as well, as the case requires.
Best wishes, everyone. Let me know if You're ever in need of a call to point out how many Years You'd be sacrificing should You go "Canary" prematurely. Reach out to me; i can help you Flag Sentinal instead of losing Your life to self-organized survival fails.

"The role of the police is to preserve a range of disorder that is enshrined in law, and thereby prevent violence against and stagnation of persons, properties, and cultures," would, I venture, be a nearer approximation of the truth.
