In the 70s there were massive protests in the Netherlands called "Stop the Child Murder". People were used to safe streets where children could cycle independently to school, go to sports clubs and hang out with their friends arou

Interestingly, Fujifilm has pivoted to a like a dozen other industries successfully and it's now a full blown conglomerate.

They did the same thing in Amsterdam. There were a lot complaints at the beginning, but the city became much nicer in the end. Immediate improvement was the reduction of noise. Studies have shown that there was only a 5% increase of travel

I don’t think it is just about awareness. Americans have simply accepted that cars are dangerous and thus traffic is dangerous and people have adjusted their whole lifestyle around it. For example, it’s normal to drive your kids everywhere.

Interesting thing is that cars are never considered to be threat to public safety. People have simply accepted that cycling/walking is unsafe (because of cars), so parents have to drive their kids everywhere. During the 70s in the Neth

In Asia rail companies are also real estate investors. They invest in property around the stations and capture a lot more of the value that a rail line brings to the neighbourhood. I believe America had a similar thing with rail towns. Wher

Vietnam has so much street food and coffee shops that McD and Starbucks cannot compete. That being said, Vietnamese zoning is pure anarchy and it would be too much for any Western country.

Requiring proof that you have a parking spot should not be an issue. If you have a car, you need to put it somewhere right? Parking is generally private in Japan, so it comes at a premium. In western countries people expect that the governm

So you are betting on a quick regime change? Perhaps a 3 day special military operation? What if that does not happen?

Instead of trying to make p-values work. What if we just stopped teaching p-values and confidence intervals, and just teach Bayesian credible intervals and log odds ratios? Are there problems that can only be solved with p-values?

It is not that cars are not useful. It's that people want to live in nice cities and too much car infrastructure ruin cities. You can't have both. You can't enjoy a nice terras next to a busy road. Or kids cannot safely cycle

Imo too much of environmental discussions are focused around climate change, which causes an automatic allergic reaction in roughly half the population. Much better is to focus on things everyone already agrees on. More plants is better, cl

This is a great way to arrest someone when you need to get rid of them. When they work for you, you turn a blind eye and let them do what they want. When you want to get rid of them, because they for example are disloyal, you start an inves

If you go to Asia, there are far more German cars than American. They buy Asian cars for value and German cars for luxury. American cars are simply not competitive.

Tesla is one of the few car companies that receive infinite VC money. European cars are more competitive then American. There is a reason why Trump is complaining that no country is buying in American cars. There are far more European cars
