Another financial point with impact on birth rates and demographics.
It is now very difficult (I can count with my fingers) to find a <100k car that can have 3 child seats in a row. Or that can sit 7 people that is not a SUV pedestrian child killer.

Would be interesting to create some form of model of that and see how accurately you could 'guess' gliglycemia levels for a specific individual just by knowing biometric info and accurate food intake.
As in could you potentially appify your newly acquired intuition?
ASIL is just a risk classification scheme from A to D, with D being the highest risk of initial hazard.
TUD SUD certified that Drive OS is ISO-26262 complaint and that it can be used for a safety-critical application up to the highest risk context of ASIL-D (Think activating brakes on a AEB system, or deploying airbags).
I understand the value proposition of Formal Verification with Spark.
But for me the killer features with Ada, thinking specifically of embedded systems is:
- The expressiveness you gain with Ada's Type System
- The Ravenscar profile (very impressive work from a small group of folks in the IRTAW group)

The speed and flawlessness is quite impressive considering it is being resolved with what I imagine is noisy inertial data and a motion blurred CCD camera.
As in if you propose a law in a general area and gets shot down you cannot simply rewrite it slightly and once again pitch through attrition.
Something like 4 strikes and you can never bring it back to vote or for every proposal you lose a vote you cannot repackage the same core for the next 10 years.
I can't find a quote but one trivia bit from 'diesel gate' is that the execs were aware of the neurotoxicity of NO2 and other substances that were found in higher concentration in diesel exhaust.
Slower at creating what? With just great tooling there is still a real risk of creating the wrong thing just very fast.
OP's point is that it is a thinking tool more so than a creating tool.
This kind of goes into the whole research field of António Damásio on consciousness.
We can easily assess if a human is conscious from a medical point of view. But do we have a deterministic test to prove an abstract entity is conscious?
Theoretically you could embed images in markdown with 'data:' scheme. But I am unless it is very small images it will probably not be very efficient to embedded the data in a text file.
I was surprised (and then sad) at the realization that Bill Watterson is fading from the cultural ethos as I age.
My experience is that we had to hire consultants from big corp consultancy firms just to guide us through the documentation needed and the application process.
You won, you can provide for you and for your whole bloodline if you so choose. You can choose your adventure, go fully epicurean or fund Humanity impacting projects. Yet they keep going and going unable to exit the carrousel.
That portraits a child as someone that you need to protect from suffering at all costs. If your parents were to make the same argument towards you, as an adult, you would argue that it is perhaps condescending and removes somewhat your own agency.
There is a _chance_ that any children that you bring into this world become not only an adult but an agent for (positive) change.
A real interesting data point that made reconsider some of my assumptions on birth rates in developed nations is Israel.
There is a really interesting piece (albeit with a conservative bias) that can articulate this far better than I can. [0]

This greatly depends on work culture and ARL's - adulthood readiness levels.
Many people are not graceful with open criticism even if done privately and constructively.
Without falling into stereotypes culture still matters specially in an international setting. Some cultures expect a lot of innuendo and indirection, for example in British or Japanese work environments. West coast US typically expects a lot of positive praise even when pointing out negatives. Whereas others like the Dutch expect more direct or even literal speech.
Infotainment systems are a race to the bottom on BOM+SW price point. ADAS OEM's understand that there is a human cost, liability, and reputational cost for failure.
The real risk with these monoliths is when companies start to remove the distributed/redundant nature of safety critical systems, in order to reduce hardware costs.
There are multiple very good reasons for a distributed system in a car. However, irrespective of how clever your architecture is, there is only one good reason for centralized systems in a car and that is cost. It benefits no one but shareholders and C-suite.
OTA updates are sold as a key benefit but again it's marketing, they only reduce costs for the manufacturers and effectively remove a lot of the penalties of recalls. I would argue that difficult/costly recalls put pressure on manufacturers for 'first time right' design, OTA favours happy-go-lucky software.
ourworldindata.org Has a really good infograph on this:

What is interesting is the large disparity between several industrialized nations.
For example Kuwait, US, Canada, Australia are significantly different from Switzerland, France, Germany, Denmark. And all would technically be considered wealthy industrialized nations.
For the curious wanting to go down this rabbit hole here seems to be an ESA archive dataset of 'GAIA Data Release 3' (released 3 June 2022) :
I have a PL 330 as my 'is there anybody out there' armaggedon world radio receiver. I also sometimes use it just for kicks to hear radio from somewhere unreasonably far away from me.
You can find a lot of pros and cons across the different models in their offering with plenty of online discussion as well.
Also do take pictures of the mundane and everyday life, I actually started leaving a go pro in the corner of the room during lazy Sunday pancakes, or school runs, or occasional in the evening to catch interesting conversations with my kids when they are more mellow just before bedtime.
When I was younger I only really had pictures of travel and holidays and days/nights out. There is so much beauty in everyday stuff around the home and around your city. Your daily 'routine', is as much part of your life as the interrail you did in your 20's.
However in certain aspects of preservation of History (for example if deemed high value at a national level) we should also expect national archives to duplicate the effort to preserve this and other information with historic value.
