We are talking about buses there though.

There was however a relatively large software effort taking place before the launch. At least in terms of software velocity. Perhaps I was naive, but I expected that to continue. Instead it just stopped and Bunnie moved over to some other project iirc.

I bought the first NeTV back in ~2011, via Adafruit. I am not saying that any promises were breached, but I did feel that the platform was abandondoned pretty soon after the boards were made available for sale.

So, I guess what I'm saying is: don't buy this board for thinking they'll continue to develop the software after you buy it. If you buy it, make sure it is for what the software is today.

I clicked this thinking it be would something related to the 5050 LED RGB chip. I feel cheated.

I live in Scandinavia where public bus systems are plentiful, heavily subsized (with my taxes...) and reasonably on schedule.

The things that make me avoid them and instead use my car:

- You get sick by using them. The passenger density is way too high and invariably you'll end end up having a seat neighbor with some cold or flu virus.

- There is no privacy at all during rush time - it's super packed and just a horribly stressed environment. I don't want to sit squashed up to some random stranger.

The solution to all of this is obvious: Instead of 2+2 seat arrangements, look at business class seat configurations. Or just make the buses longer, and go with 1+1 seat configs.

I just went through a phone interview with a candidate today who did this. He had pre-shared a 36-page presentation of his career/goals/etc.

I spent some time studying this presentation ahead of the interview and thought he was thoughtful and that this indicated an attention to clear communication.

Then we started the interview. I told him I had read his presentation in detail and commended him on the homework. He then super-politely asked if he could spend ten minutes to quickly go through it to add some more details, via a shared screen service. "Sure, why not?"

40 minutes later I finally cut him off, two thirds into the presentation. I came away from this thinking he was trying to control the communication, perhaps stearing me away from probing at his weaknesses rather than thinking he was a proactive comminicator.

Please don't do this.
