General Motors kills another electric car
Admittedly I don't drive a tiny car, but it's not what I would call large. Anyway, Nick Heer is right:
we end up with a sea of samey SUVs, crossovers, and trucks, all of which are too big and many to the extent a separate license should be required to drive them. They make the roads more dangerous for others, which drives some people to buy a similar-sized vehicle for their own safety perception. It is madness.

GM, CarPlay and iPhones
A bit of a follow up on a previous post regarding GM's decision to drop CarPlay.
I talked about when the 3rd generation of CarPlay was announced at last year's WWDC and John Gruber nailed it:
I wonder how much of a factor it is that Apple has spent the last decade not-so-secretly working on creating its own line of cars? There's no way GM would ever integrate a software system from, say, Ford or Honda. But so why integrate CarPlay, which comes from a company that seemingly wants to compete with existing automakers? Apple's own car ambitions make CarPlay integration, to some extent, seem like a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Floor796 is an ever-expanding animation scene showing the life of the 796th floor of the huge space station! The goal of the project is to create as huge animation as possible, with many references to movies, games, anime and memes.
Already so much to see, some squares are interactive and you can click and share direct links to animations.
