The entire concept that induced demand means there's no benefit to increased capacity seems so silly to me, and it seems to skate by with little scrutiny in the urban planning world. To analogize to technology, this is like saying &quo

Nah. Everywhere I've ever worked, you can tell any boss things they don't want to hear. What you have to do is do it respectfully . I've told directors and VPs multiple levels up from me that I thought they were wrong about

Right, AFAIK they were prevented from posting by one of those interstitials demanding that they delete a specific tweet in order to access their account. Still no new posts from the account so presumably that is still the case.

This seems like a very Big Coastal Metro-centric view that is probably true in those areas but doesn't capture what's happening elsewhere. Home prices in Metro Detroit, for example, used to be quite reasonable and have recently ex

I imagine the quality is pretty low with the number of menu items that single batch of cooks is trying to make. When you read about struggling restaurants trying to make a comeback, a common theme is an attempt at simplifying the menu so th

Yeah... I always develop against the latest Python available and have probably run into 1 package in my career with a version incompatibility, and that was with a C API portion. 20-40% is not correct.

In my case I paid the balance online and picked "Notice of Proposed Assessment" as the payment type. When I asked the chat agent why it was in suspense, that was their explanation.

Actually ran into something similar this past week. FTB sent me a Notice of Proposed Assessment related to my 2017(!) return. Apparently I had taken a deduction that the FTB decided was invalid. After researching and concluding the deductio

Glad to see others are also frustrated with Google's extremely excessive "security" gimmicks. The one that I run into sometimes: in order to do "Find My Phone" for my wife's phone, I try to sign in as her. In o

Given the apparently low efficacy of the current batch of vaccines in preventing infection and transmission, I'm not sure that it's any harder for variants to occur in, say, New Mexico than South Africa. If the case rates are high

That's not really a reliable/actionable signal overall - my previous employer had like 20,000 employees NATed behind a single IP.

Almost every time I start a new job I find a list of "blacklisted IPs" in the firewall and no one seems to know from whence they came, they've just always been there. It's a perfectly reasonable short term solution in so

This kind of sounds to me like "you can stop smoking by not buying anymore cigarettes". True, but glosses over the addictive aspects which led to cigarettes being regulated as they are. And this isn't an accidental property o
