The problem they are addressing is the MTA not having enough money. The solution is finding a politically acceptable way to address that. They’ve already raised subway fares.

Come on, that’s just today’s Lysenkoism. We can talk like adults here.

Retail theft is up 64% in my city, and we had to install frosted window film after some break-ins. I don’t think it’s a joke.

This story is about a dude who drove 30–40 hours to kill somebody and still had a quarter ounce of meth left in his Jeep when he got caught. He should serve some time.

I skimmed it. I don’t think carve-outs and exemptions for government use are a great idea and seem more likely to keep the public ignorant. The structure of the AI board seems pretty messed up—it gives some people in national governments di

Sageman’s “bunch of guys” theory has really won out now that anybody can interact with terrorists on social media. You can’t run a big terrorist organization made up of people seeking revenge because they’re power-seeking and will replace y

If I can do 10x more work in the same amount of time I can probably charge way more money for my time. Sounds like a great deal.

The administration neglects to mention that the march-in rights are subject to judicial review. Here’s Birch Bayh and Bob Dole clarifying that the march-in rights in the Bayh-Dole Act do not grant the White House this authority based on pri

FYI China needs to import food. The alternative is famine for hundreds of millions of people, not bucolic rice farming.

The appropriations bill example also looks right—the insertion doesn’t stylistically match the rest of the document. I’m much more skeptical of evaluations if this is how the sausage gets made. Feels like bullshit artistry.

In the US it’s called constructive discharge. Good luck convincing a judge that asking a $400k/yr employee to show up to the office is so unreasonable that you were forced to quit.

Well yeah it’s called regulatory capital for a reason. Banks are happy to provide token services in exchange for mispriced loans from retail to support their nonretail biz. It’s cool I can walk into a BoA branch in my neighborhood; in excha

I mean yeah. To get anything through the FDA you have to hire these “FDA consultants”—former FDA employees—who mostly chill out on your payroll. The FDA sends random questions about whatever you’re doing every once in a while and you have t

Article fails to disclose Alex de Vries actually works at the DNB—the Dutch central bank. Seems to be a propaganda piece aimed at dissuading younger people from exploring alternative financial systems by tying their use to climate change. I

I think Apple (especially under Jobs) had it right that customers don’t really give a shit about how hard or long you’ve worked on a problem or area.

There’s also the mechanics working at these garages. The timing and ferocity of this action is strange to me as an outsider considering Tesla’s been in Sweden for a decade. If Tesla mechanics received stock in 2013, some of them probably go

It’s already pretty much the law. You can submit your complaints to the Office of Anti-Boycott Compliance [1]. Foreign governments can’t force government contractors to comply with boycotts. This bill AFAIK simply closes the loophole of Pal

I don’t think that fits with how people on this side of the pond think about immigration.

Ironically, the article talks about how 10% of something is a controlling interest and part of the reason the plaintiffs wound up in court.

I would disagree. Our form of classical liberalism requires those wielding the baton of power to do a better job. The state serves the individual. Private enterprises anticipating the political needs of a central government was a tenet of M

I don’t know about NASA, but in my few encounters with stuff at the federal level the people involved seemed way more concerned with interagency battles than anything related to the mission. To the point where it the top priority was to fuc

Didn’t Yudkowsky coin the term “effective altruism”? The author’s not saying the two groups are the same, but that Yudkowsky’s community called themselves one thing and then later, another thing.

World ID is great. I like logging into stuff without verifying my email, linking my GitHub/Twitter/whatever, or solving a bunch of CAPTCHAs when I’m on a VPN.

I dunno, reading to the end the union rep guy sounds a little nervous. Are any Tesla workers on strike? What if people like Tesla’s benefits more than the union’s? Didn’t a lot of Tesla workers do well with equity compensation?

Don’t land trusts just lock people out of their home equity? Since we’ve rigged the housing market to be up-only and the main source of household wealth, it’s probably best for New Yorkers to build lots and lots of normal homes that people

It was a campaign issue in 2016. The current administration rolled back the orders, delaying implementation. The current plan calls first for an inventory to be completed October 2024. Eight years later, the pipes will still be there.

It’s generally known that American politics is broadcast overseas to promote democracy and peace, especially since the 90s in Europe. We don’t really care as long as you keep holding elections and not starting wars.

The medical certificate usually has an immediate cause and a spot to write underlying causes. It goes to the local government and is used for things like life insurance, lawsuits, etc. If there’s a concern at the policy level, usually you’d
