For now, their Nashville test cars seem to be stored in a lot that's basically unused otherwise (I'm not even sure what building it belongs to). I drive by it occasionally. It's not the cheapest part of town, but it's probably pretty affordable.

> but we all know trains and trams are the better tech

Great, but I'm actually in Nashville and I know there's about zero chance we get a (real) train, and that the train stops would definitely be no closer than the bus stop that's already inconvenient enough to not be worth it. The bus system used to (I think they still have it in one area) have a program where you could get free Uber/Lyft rides to/from bus stops, and cheaper autonomous rides could definitely make that more feasible to continue offering.

The Waymo vehicles I've been in were electric. If electric cars are "oil protectionism", then you can probably warp trains into it too (the bus certainly would be).

Unfortunately, our airport traffic is getting a Tesla Tunnel instead of a real train.

There's an Archive Team project for the government, although it's just trying to get as much of a snapshot as possible: https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/US_Government Detecting changes across all pages in real time is going to be difficult to accomplish.

You can use a combination of the website capture data available in the Internet Archive along with what the Internet Archive and ArchiveTeam crawl to analyze and track when page status changes (both content and http codes, 200->4xx for example). Look for the diffs across the .govs of interest. Crawling continues.

There's another way it will be gamed without having to close or move anything:

> (e) “High-frequency commuter rail” means a commuter rail service operating a total of at least 48 trains per day across both directions, > (r) “Very high frequency commuter rail” means a commuter rail service with a total of at least 72 trains per day across both directions

I bet some schedules will be changed to fall below these requirements.

> The problem is that most of the time people make cities less car-friendly, but don't improve public transport,

That's my complaint too. We've added plenty of things to make driving worse where I am, but there's no real alternative presented. I can walk a mile to a bus stop in the sun where the bus may or may not show up for an hour (they promise they will improve it eventually) and will then drop me off somewhere I still have to walk most of a mile from. They made the road to the bus stop a bit worse to walk on and I gave up.

I would love to not have to drive. But I'm not really given the option, I'm just given less parking so that there's a nice bike lane I can jump into when someone comes barrelling down the sidewalk.

I'd be more excited if it was by Harry Mudd.

Not exactly the topic, but it had a link to the Symbols for Legacy Computing block and its supplement, which have some really neat stuff in them.

For some reason it's really common to call this kind of project a "Doom clone" despite it not having the features that made Doom notable at the time. Honestly, it's impressive enough that it doesn't need to be tied to being a "[90s game] clone".

There was a time when any FPS game was referred to as a Doom-a-like or Doom clone. Heck, eventually even tihngs with a first person view but no shooting, or that pre-dated Doom (Doom was a step change in a few ways but it certainly wasn't the first FPS, I remember some more primative attempts as far back as the mid-to-late 80s). The current referring-to-everything-as-a-doom-clone is basically an extension of that.

Glad to see this, it was always mildly annoying when someone would send you the mobile version.
