I don't see how that chalk bag can be useful without 1. climbing shoes and 2. a harness and/or a crashpad. I guess he boulders barefoot at an indoor gym?

Does this mean that everyone has to eat lunch at the same time?

I strongly mind people having conversations about anything that is not work-related. If you want to talk about Game of Thrones or the latest sportsball game, take it outside.

Yep. Work in an office with communal[1] music, it's really bad for focus. I would say that this policy likely loses us money. [1] controlled by a clique, really

The absolute worst is when someone in management (who generally arrive after me) interrupt me to ask about something irrelevant to the company, like my weekend, sportsball, or whether I watched a TV show. I was focused, hard at work making

In a salary-negotiation-banned situation, are you also typically prohibited from exchanging salary for vacation, while maintaining the same perceived total compensation?

If you're writing diagnosis software, your approach to sorting should be "use sort() ". Sorting is not your core competency, diagnosis is.

The idea of a doctor who is unsure giving an answer instead of taking time to research is scary. Maybe that's why misdiagnosis is so common: http://www.ncpa.org/sub/dpd/index.php?Article_ID=23148

> Founders can use tools like Culture Amp to do anonymous surveys. I wouldn't respond to one of those truthfully - I give four or five stars on everything, and never write any complaints in the free-form text fields. If possible, I

OSS mailing lists shouldn't be considered the same thing because I can send mail to them, and anyone else can as well. They are discussion forums carried out via email. Mailing lists in the Mailchimp sense are just unwanted advertisi

I have never signed up for a mailing list[1], e.g. gone to a "sign up for my newsletter" page and clicked "I would like to subscribe to your newsletter". I've been signed up for them implicitly after making a purcha

This is solved by bollards.

Yes, but at-grade light rail isn't an alternative to subways, it's an alternative to buses. The M23 et.al. barely hit ten mph.
227.
by chris_7 10y ago
From the photos, it looks like bollards would have solved most of these? It's not really a dedicated lane if drivers can just wander into it.

I always click "the emails are spam and should be reported" (is that Mailchimp? not sure) when given a choice. Not sure if it really does anything.

> The presence of buses inherently makes other forms of transportation worse. Buses will often kill cyclists. Buses intrude on crosswalks and honk their horns at people who dare cross the light. It sure does! That's why we need more

That's basically just legalizing the current behavior!

If this was important to you, why not purchase land with a private spot, instead of presuming continued free private use of a public resource?

The inability to build densely due to parking requirements is one of the things that makes neighborhoods pedestrian/bike commute hostile in the first place. If parking is truly an issue, the market can of course solve it with private p

Not a Portland resident, but I'd assume it reduces the blight of parking lots and makes neighborhoods more walkable?

> spending $1.1 billion to add lanes to the 405 freeway in LA isn't a gift from god Is this a thing they're actually doing? Surely induced demand is well-known by now?

Really a matter of terminology, but there's a clear separation between underground heavy rail (all of the New York City Subway) and underground light rail. You can see this division in Boston and San Francisco. Heavy rail has much more

New Yorkers don't, like, buy cars in the winter and sell them in the summer. Why would that matter?

This can partially be fixed by significantly expanding the sidewalks on the avenues (especially in Midtown). Take them down to 1 bus/emergency lane, 1 private car lane, and some loading zones (where there aren't bus stops), which

What's wrong with at-grade rail, presuming signal priority and dedicated lanes? Works fine in Geneva, Amsterdam, etc.

With respect to emergency services, NYC ambulances and fire trucks get stuck in the traffic of private cars/taxis all of the time. If there were less cars, that wouldn't happen. With respect to deliveries, if the sides of streets

The presense of drivers inherently make other forms of transportation worse. Drivers often kill cyclists (seemingly for the fun of it, sometimes, see the case of Matthew Van Ohlen). Drivers intrude on crosswalks, and honk their car's a
