It’s disingenuous to say rural areas are too poor to install public transportation. It’s that there’s too much to install (too much space) for any given user. Just economics of rural areas. It doesn’t make sense unless we can significantly reduce the capital investment and running costs of public transport.

Hard disagree. People are far more cunning and twist the news more than an AI ever could. AI would in most cases remove bias and improve understanding among their audience. Case in point: current.report

Yeah well put. It should be said that regulations OFTEN cite certifications from non-regulatory bodies. Regulators are often legislators and executors, not scientists that understand the rationales behind good practice. Certification bodies (like UL, as one example, or SAE for automotive) have the scientists to do the requirements.

Important article. Why is it posted on fediverse

I feel the need to step in here. Certification != regulation. Regulation means there is a body that can enforce the requirements with monetary or other damaging repercussions. What Oceangate faced were certifications and their decision to side-step them were met with no repercussions except their reputation with those who wouldn’t ever want to step inside their sub anyways.

Point is - regulations would have prevented this, but there are none.

Yeah probably not what you’re looking for but Out There on Android is a sleeper. Think The Martian (yeah the novel) mixed with No Man’s Sky. Some free and open elements with a journal-driven story progression. Difficult as well.
