I remember it being unpopular, but haven't seen results on the NYC one specifically. Wikipedia has a roundup of results on a few similar implementations, though, and they seem to somewhat work: https://en.wikipedia.org&#x2F

100% agree on the non-separation of "home" and "work" being terrible. It's easy to say "just don't work after 5/6/whatever" but in practice not having a physical separation between "th

I disagree. The government could easily move the needle if it had the guts to implement nationwide financial changes that would actually make a difference on food contents - tax sugary foods & drinks, implement a sugar daily % value, e

Personally, I think inheritance is the ultimate expression of success = luck and should be capped hard with the remainder flowing back into support funds for things that help re-balance opportunities. However, most people I've broug

I don't like working from home, but my day mostly consists of being on calls/video chats and discussing a lot of information that shouldn't be overheard by others. I want a private office option that doesn't cost a thou

There's a decent (though high level) explanation here: https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/news/2017/07/04/how-ipho... It's actually kind of hard to articulate how bad things were in

The cost of the ISS was not just the launches. The modules themselves were massively expensive to design, build, and test before they ever made it into a payload bay. For example, the Tranquility + Cupola modules together cost $400M just to

Regardless of where you stand on whether this is the ideal truck for your particular use case, it's worth noting that Ford really nailed the general market aspect of this truck. It filled all 200,000 preorders in a few months, and has

You have yet to get coronavirus. There’s a pretty good chance that you will before the year is out. Omicron is extremely infectious even among the fully vaccinated. For example, among my friends group all of us are fully vaccinated and bo

I think it's a relative context thing. For example, Hayabusa2 returned an asteroid sample to earth for ~$150M, Perseverance is chugging around on Mars for ~$2.9B, Cassini cost about $3.9B (not sure if that's inflation-adjusted),

Same experience for me as well - fantastic if I'm extremely tired and need to be awake and semi-productive for an entire day, but does basically nothing for focus. Not even remotely comparable to Adderall. Also like others have menti

I would be willing to bet a large amount of money that the large majority of successful businesses are either bootstrapped or use traditional loans as funding. The stats don't work out any other way - several hundred thousand new busi

One would hope that by 2050 energy storage and/or long-range transmission will be a non-issue for renewables, rendering this argument moot.

Not really. Berkshire's general model is to buy mature businesses that are either troubled or undervalued and then "fix" them to reach a higher valuation within their overall portfolio. That's somewhat different than d

I've been hit by a cyclist failing to yield in a crosswalk. I've been hit by zero stationary cars. How are they different?

> Using your phone in a stationary queue likely correlates with use while moving I don't agree with this statement whatsoever.

by mdorazio 5y ago
I used to cycle all the time, and the only times a stationary car endangered me was when the driver failed to check before opening their door. That's my problem here - this guy isn't catching drivers on phones while moving.

Alright, I'm going to say it - this guy is just a dick and not helping. The majority of the videos on his channel are of him rolling up on stationary cars and giving himself a justice boner because he caught a driver using their phone
