A Scalable Framework for Safety Assurance of Self-Driving Vehicles based on Assurance 2.0
Assurance 2.0 is a modern framework developed to address the assurance challenges of increasingly complex, adaptive, and autonomous systems. Building on the traditional Claims-Argument-Evidence (CAE) model, it introduces reusable assurance theories and explicit counterarguments (defeaters) to enhance rigor, transparency, and adaptability. It supports continuous, incremental assurance, enabling innovation without compromising safety. However, limitations persist in confidence measurement, residu…

What happens when stakeholders along the #supply chain join forces to eliminate #genderbased violence? Find out how investigations by an NGO led to a unique labor impact story in my latest feature for Triple Pundit.

For any of my comrades who are using SNAP, I wish I had something better to say than "if you crush 4 buckeyes with a hammer and tie the pulp in a sock you can wash a good sized load of laundry." English Ivy also has saponins, but I've never been able to make soap from it myself.
Ivy is everywhere. Buckeyes (Horse Chestnuts) are common in city parks (there are a ton in Seattle).
Yucca is also a good source of saponins, but it also has silica. That makes it a good scrubby soap. You can find these plants all over they're pretty common to find in yards.
If you can find acorns still (it's a bit late, but who knows), acorn grits are great and something you can survive on for a bit. Acorns need processing (it's easy to look up, but feel free to ask or check out one or Black Forager's videos on it).
If you've been following me for a bit, you probably already know all this. But if you don't, I hope it helps.
Any other forager folks are welcome to drop hints here that might be useful to folks in the city.
