Funny, I was researching DDIs not too long ago. I like the idea. It reduces the number of light phases to two. We’ll see if they execute the concept correctly.
Colorado may get its first safe-minded “diverging diamond interchange” - The Denver Post.
This once again inspires me to remind you to USE S/MIME ENCRYPTION on any email you send that may have sensitive information in it. And by “sensitive information,” I mean information that you don’t want other people or companies to know about FOREVER.
Using email with S/MIME encryption is like having a safe deposit box at your bank. They store the items in a box in their vault (the encrypted email on their server) but it takes both of your keys to open it (theirs = server access, yours = private S/MIME decryption key). They know you have a box in their vault but they do not know the contents. Except whenever you don’t use S/MIME email encryption, it’s like allowing anyone at the bank to open your safe deposit box at any time and without your key. And I’m willing to wager that you almost never use S/MIME encryption on your sensitive emails.
I agree 100%. However I propose to take it one step further and introduce the jumping ovation. As the standing ovation has become so commonplace as to devalue its original meaning, we should introduce a new form of ovation that not only goes above and beyond the s.o. but also forces the audience member to evaluate the personal cost of said ovation by asking himself, “do I really want to put the effort into jumping for this performance? Was it that good?”
Here’s the answer for long trips or continuous driving: even faster than filling up a gas tank!

Hermes reached 200,000 miles this morning!
It changed over literally as I turned into my work’s parking lot this morning.
Um, I’m sorry… what?
I looked at the maintenance schedule for the 2012 Mitsubushi i. I will summarize the entire thing right here:
Replace cabin air purifier filter every year.
Replace the brake fluid every three years.
Replace the motor coolant and heater fluid every 20 years.
The end.
What are you thinking, Toyota? $50K for your new RAV4 EV? This sounds like the last time California forced you into making electric vehicles. Forbes is right, you don’t care. (I imagine your partnership with Tesla has something to do with the price point.) It’s been ten years since the first-generation RAV4 EV. It sounds like once you discontinued that model, you sat around and didn’t actually develop the technology. 100-mile range? Again? And tell me again, please, what’s up with the price tag?
Nissan has you beat and they’re way ahead of you in the game. I admire them for taking a big risk on electric cars. Heck, even Mitsubishi looks better; even if their car is a bit funnier-looking, it still doesn’t cost 50,000 smackeroos*. The i also happens to be the most affordable new EV so far. Hats off to them. (Personally I’m looking forward to seeing the Golf EV in action in a couple years.)
