LMFAO welcome to New York. We have three major large scale airports, and none of them are connected to the subway. It would be comical if it wasn’t so sad.

Pretty sure you don’t need all these words to explain it. It’s just a way for people to signal that they’re rich and high status. Those kinds of things are inherently fairly fragile so one that has endured like this one is notable.

You’re just wrong. I live in NYC right next to the congestion zone and it would affect me greatly. I also have lived temporarily in London with a car. They’re very much similar plans. You clearly don’t like the NYC one which is fine, but th

What are you talking about the London congestion charge is analogous to the NYC one, covering the core central business district.

Perhaps there’s some sort of emerging trend in the usual community of rapacious sociopathic nerds out in San Mateo County that will soon take over the world but last I checked new music still fills stadiums. Not to mention that the most suc

How about this. Take away all the musicians and their music and see what Spotify and all its software developers are worth by themselves. Now do the opposite. Figured it out yet? Music is one of the most universal and important things in ou

It’s an odd sentence to be honest. Being the son of the founder of a business has been the strongest qualification for running that business for at least 3,000 years. On top of that he had worked in this same company for two years, had an I

Why would rent go down? There's a lot of factors at work. Since the default is rent spiraling upwards, a decrease in that rate would be a success by any standards.

As someone who lived through it, I am always surprised at how dismissive people are of the dotcom bubble and the changes that were underway. It’s been applied to crypto as an analogy and now here to “AI” though I think you actually mean LLM

The block definitely has a New York center of gravity in the American conception. The Manhattan street grid is very regular with “short blocks” and “long blocks” and vast swaths of the rest of the city use a very similar approach. There’s a

Whenever you see a public policy issue that seems to be based on totally ignoring logic consider immediately jumping to the word “trust” and analyzing things that way. People refuse to take a medicine despite the fact that science says it’s

I’m not in charge of Europe but if I was, I would consider being lectured by neoliberal icons like Fareed Zakaria and told that tech entrepreneurs would prefer that I stop regulating them to be a sign that I am definitely on the right track

Those guys lift weights constantly. Nearly every variant of professional athlete does, maybe a few exceptions for fully endurance based sports.

The other thing that changed is a couple billion more families are trying to get into the same American schools, and many of them have substantial money and resources plus determination to do it. That’s just wildly different than what it w

Ask yourself the reverse question now. Why can't it be true that the economics profession is wrong, or better yet "not even wrong" and not really even talking about anything that has real world applicability? Given the last f
