Yeah, I agree. I'm not actually against more car-free neighbourhoods, in fact we could do with more. Also more congestion charges, and other kinds of pay as you go road fees. I just really dislike the intellectual dishonesty of headlin

IF you live in a city with enough density that public transport beats the car most of the time, and IF your job is in that same area too, then yes, going car-free can save time. But you need several hundreds of thousands people in the s

I'm not talking about "everything". I'm talking about jobs. Your job. Is your job so generic that almost everybody in your country can do it? Because that's what you would need for this to be realistic. Everybody li

Well, I'm an N of 1 too :-) I'm lucky to live in a place that gives me plenty of options. And I have a tech workers idea of tenure, in that I change jobs every few years. So I've done them all. Cycling to work is the best. Wh

There's probably also a bit of selection bias going on. People who prefer car usage will be less likely to go live in places where car ownership is difficult. The longer a city is "car-free" the more of that bias will accumul

If the cost-savings is worth it compared to the problems... I mean, that's how we do it with humans. It's quite a common occurrence to keep a part of a business process human because automating it would we too expense due to edge

This has been my favourite approach as well. Once you label something, you get discussions about what is and isn't the label. Once you label something, the debate on semantics starts and the discussion of the problem stops. At the same

I liked that book too. One problem I have with it, and with many similar books, is that it tells managers to move to a less directive way of steering people. This is very good for quite a lot of existing managers. But it's not very goo

The time part is absolutely a disclosure of information. That can be fine, or it may not be. In the latter case that's called a leak. You need to consider that every time you decide to use a time-based identifier like UUIDv7. UUIDv4 co

I don't know. The leaking of information via time-based identifiers always strikes me as an annoying trade-off to work around an implementation detail in certain database engines. Sometimes you have to do it, but it shouldn't be a

Mutation testing can help with that. With mutation testing the program is changed automatically in small ways to see if that makes a test fail. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutation_testing That said, any metric is on

That chart doesn't support your claim that higher household income isn't reflected in happiness scores. Multiple factors are at play in those scores. The report mentions a few, but I couldn't find how much each correlates wit

Those are very subjective "negative effects". And it is perfectly possible that the American people is perfectly willing to accept those in exchange for the 50% extra household income compared to Germany. I know I would.

Morals are subjective. Some people care more about the correctness of math than about blaspheming, and for others it's the other way around. Me, I think forcing morals on others is pretty immoral. Use your morals to restrict your own b

There's a three-pronged approach when dealing with it: - Pad. - Communicate risks. - Communicate assumptions. Then when assumptions are wrong, immediately communicate that this will change the estimate. When risks hit, communicate that
