I know the NYTimes thinks its charming, but this plaque embodies the arrogance and greed of wealthy landowners in NY who have opposed the construction of mass transit for over a hundred years.

It's gotten faster and is getting faster over time. It was much, much worse a year ago which makes me believe that the team is paying attention to speed. Compared to the main competitor mentioned here - Confluence - it is blazing fast.

Their actions have a moral cost and the people who pay those costs aren't the tech transplants, they're literally every other kind of person who slowly finds themselves unable to live in a place that is just as much their home as

Taxing the rich isn't about generating revenue to make something. It's a reallocation mechanism for dollars that already exist in the economy to things that we want as a body of people. If this seems radical, notice that this is a

I'll leave the tax plan aside to respond to this. As slow and creaky as the world is, when a government as powerful as the United States aggressively puts forth a vision for the world the systems of the world bend to make it work. Reme

I agree that we shouldn't make the tradeoff that London does. I'm a NY lifer and being out in London past 10pm makes me feel like I'm skulking around in a period drama. But bus rapid transit is real and many of the people who

I fall pretty close to the maximal end of the YIMBY spectrum but there are real tradeoffs between the 4-5 story walkups and giant towers. Central Paris has a residential density higher than NYC despite composed almost entirely of 4-5 story

hi claudia, I've really enjoyed reading your comments in HN the past few days. I'd love to learn more about how you think about the world - reading, learning, choosing your path. If you're interested, please send me an email.

It is an extremely slippery, the case law and enforcement are both murky and no one really knows what is going on. Here's Matt Levine again thinking about what insider trading even is and what constitutes privileged information: https

The UK (and currently EU) law is different. In the EU, even if the party dispensing the material non-public information does so with no benefit or even unknowingly and by accident it is still illegal to trade on that information. For a more

This is quite good. I wish it would go a little further and let them expound on why they settled on those choices, but I understand that's not the intention of that interview format.

This is a very fair response and I completely agree with you. In fact, I would argue that part of the negotiation that cities ought to do with Bird and Lime and others like it is to make any deploy conditional on the passage of and adherenc

I think the other responses summarize the problem quite accurately. In fact, I alluded to it when I mentioned the littering of cars. People who park cars believe in an inherent first claim to all roadside space above other users and they ar

Functionally this is the easiest problem in the world to solve. It's the same solution for scooters and dockless bikeshare. Take two parking spots in each block. Put beacons on the corners or some kind of signaling tape around the whol

GP might be referring to a Tylenol with Codeine that's only available with a prescription. I may be wrong however because codeine is still an opioid.

I've been developing an opinion lately that what we need is fewer roundups and "objective" reporting and more opinionated here's the end-to-end stack I use and I think is good and here are the tradeoffs. With a diversity

There is a very simple solution to this problem. Build more libraries or bigger libraries. A terrific example is the Jefferson Library in lower Manhattan. It is technically a children's library to the point where it's nearly impos

This is a fair argument and I will concede that if we're thinking about success as the getting high quality compliance for managerial games (which really does make up most entry level work in finance, consulting and tech) then hiring f

The idea that high school students have good habits that lead them to good colleges that lead to good work behavior is a laughable one. I say this as someone who won the "game" on every count with this. Near-perfect SAT score, per

Office jobs are not trustworthy. The model you should have for an office job is that it's basically a social game within which some actual work takes place. Most of the time people spend is maneuvering within the game. I say this as so

Under "SAFe Agile" POs quasi report into PMs. PMs own products that different scrum teams are developing. POs own the scrum teams and work with the PM to translate the PM's requirements into the scrum team.
