Dobri sounds awesome. Does his name mean something like "good" in Bulgarian?

Yup, Dobur - good. And there fore Dobri, the name comes from that word and it means good. :) He is an awesome man!
senerra
Yes, it means exactly "good" :)
boredtotheextreme
I believe it's morning or day or something similar. Most Slavic languages have some variant of that word.
rossmum
You're thinking of "dobri den" (Russian) and counterparts from the other Slavic languages, "good day". Dobro means good, den is day.
lyeNarsenic
Google Translate said "good" but I didn't trust it, which is why I asked. A guy doing good deeds named "good" seemed unlikely. :)

In case of power failures it flies up and breaks out of the roof.

pretty easily done, Electromagnetic current to locks holding pressured industrial bolts back, current is lost, locks fail bolts deploy stop

Of course they will have UPS and an emergency power unit. Also every cabin will have its own braking clamps.

In all honesty, how is that at all practical? Moving walkways are much more efficient for going sideways.

Non-electromagnets and mechanical failsafes. Still, yeah, outside of replacing something like an airport tram, not sure how practical it is.

Google magnetic brakes. They work with permanent magnets, and are perfectly safe.
silaswanders
Yes. But I can feel it when it does. It's my 6th sense. Also I'd be plummeting to my fucking death. Nbd.
TheNr24
No one here has given you the actual answer. It's so elevators can move out of the main shaft to let people out and other cabins pass (1/?)
TheNr24
Up until now the most cabins in a single shaft is 2, this idea allows for a virtually unlimited number of cabins to share one shaft. (2/?)
TheNr24
A building would have 2 shafts, one for going up, one for going down. Check their video for how it would work: https://youtu.be/KUa8M0H9J5o
crankyoldgeezer
As an architect it would be great to have smaller building cores with less shaftways, however horizontal runs may block egress paths 1/2
crankyoldgeezer
As we still need to get people to stairwells in emergencies before they inhale too much smoke limiting the distance they can run.

While you have a point, slavery in Ancient Rome was more similar to a loan system than the brutal American slavery. So it is different.

Also, why are we calling it "American slavery"? Europe had the same thing right? I know England did.

then again, I live in Europe, what do I know.
Segovax
Don't think that Roman slavery was less brutal. Look at their mines and massive plantations.
Antfarmz
Look at our coal mines and textile mills in the 1900's.
Antfarmz
On top of that, there was nowhere near the ingrained culture of slavery that American slavery had. Slaves were treated as equals once free.
Segovax
Well, Roman law changed to accommodate that over time. I don't believe that was always the case.
Antfarmz
You're missing my point. It's not just about what was law. The systematic way American slave owners trained their slaves to not only obey 1

It's hard to really make sweeping generalizations about life in the Roman empire, yes. It lasted a VERY long time.
