  But… how else am I going to connect my toothbrush to my smarthome…?

  Just kidding, I use home assistant and my oral-b toothbrush broadcasts using BLE, which Is capture using the oral-b integration. You don’t need to be logged in

  I agree. It’s super dumb to buy IOT toothbrushes that require you to be logged in. Luckily I’m not one of those people, so that doesn’t apply to me. Phew…

  And do you suppose the banister would be installed if the mattresses were at the bottom?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to petty lane⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Or the road design doesn’t facilitate compliance with the speed limit. This is how policy and guidance on road infrastructure talks about these issues.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to petty lane⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not so great for people walking or cycling though. Higher speeds mean more serious and fatal collisions.

  Where these modes of transport mix, 20mph is becoming the default choice in western European countries, there is a global declaration on this. If roads feel like they’re made for higher streets: that’s bad infrastructure design.

  But that’s okay. Accidents are just that—unavoidable and random. There’s absolutely nothing else that can be done, so we might as well shrug and accept our fate. When a poor kid gets flattened by an SUV, the only reasonable response is to sigh, feel sad for a moment, and then move on. After all, questioning the design of our roads or the size of our vehicles would be an affront to the gods of chance and the sacred right to drive anywhere, anytime.

  Europeans might obsess over safety, but we know better: the universe writes its own traffic plan, and sometimes the ink is a little redder than we’d like…

  Absolutely. A cycle can kill someone if they are unfortunately. But a car can kill dozens of people at the same time.

  In terms of policy and policing it makes sense to look at outcomes. Heavily policing drunk cycling would result in more drunk driving, which would end up killing more people. So however much drunk cycling is policed, drunk driving should be policed significantly more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let people enjoy things 🙄⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Given the potential to do harm, driving is a privilege. Personal views on whether one can drive under the influence of substances are irrelevant as vulnerable road users would be exposed to much more risk than the driver. Bystanders pay the risk that’s taken by the driver.

  It would be good if societies would work in a way that acknowledges that not everyone can/should drive or owns a car. This would mean better public transport, improved zoning, better facilities for walking and cycling.

  And I thought I was the only person who had this problem! I have large hands, so lots of water splashes in my fave when using of these (•_•)

  But its mechanism requires a deep understanding of your target and makes you empathetic to their needs and desires. Ultimately, you are just really good at reading people and empowering them to stand up for themselves.

  The provision of parking is expensive, so it used to be subsidized significantly. Many people go to the hospital by public transport. It wouldn’t be fair to them that there’d be less money available for healthcare services because the NHS is subsidizing parking.

  How can you say Six Sigma is bullshit?

  It’s literally just a method of identifying a problem, measuring and analyzing its impact, and implementing a lasting solution.

  The difference between the six sigma method and traditional organizations is that:

  • Six sigma gives power to experts (instead of middle managers), * It involves staff who are actually doing the work
  • It tests solutions before they’re implemented
  • It acknowledges that many things can’t be forced top-down by the boss
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨😲😲⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You say that probably because many components in it look like common sense.

  “Duh, of course the response to a problem should be to rectify it” (simplifying slightly)

  Lots of companies don’t though. Or they jump to a conclusion about the best solution. Or some middle manager decides he knows what’s best and then proceeds to break things.

  It’s quite useful to have a philosophy that gives authority to non-traditional but logical steps.

  I mean, that’s what people do with models and methodologies right? In my language English terms are used when using an English methodology.

  Kaizen comes from Japan, was developed in Japan, and it was quite successful there. It’s not that strange to copy it word for word.

  The idea behind it is quite different from what tends to happen in traditional Western companies. Since companies want to be better than their competitors and organizational change is hard, it makes sense to look for ready-made tools, rather than try to reinvent the wheel.

  Of course, since (organizational) change makes many employees nervous, depending on how the organization goes about it Kaizen could get a bad name.
