The bridge serves a large swath of NYC (south Brooklyn, Staten island, the Rockaways) and Long Island. Dumbo and downtown manhattan are upscale areas. Were the city willing to invest in the project in a sane way, such as making a separate b

Most parents are not physically capable of operating such a contraption regularly. I would hate my life if I needed to lug my kids in that contraption when I want to take them to the park, doctor, grocery store, or any life activities. In a

How fast does demand grow? Does it ever stop or slow down? I know for a fact that far from every highway and road in America is congested: the majority are not. Even many if not most roads in metropolitan areas are not. So you can’t extrapo

It’s unfair to consider electric bikes as most bike lanes are explicitly not designed for them. They operate at a higher speed than regular pedal bikes and are more dangerous to pedestrians and cyclists. We may as well suggest that everyone

I am specifically considering removing traffic lanes on e.g. a bridge or a main thoroughfare in favor of bikes. This is common in New York where I live. One particularly egregious example is removing a lane of traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge

Public transit. A bus lane will carry many more people more efficiently. Cargo and emergency vehicles can also use this lane if necessary. Dedicated bike infrastructure such as protected bike lanes can generally only be used by bikes and ot

The reason bike lanes do not have demand induction effects is because there is inherently low demand. A majority of the population cannot use bicycles for long trips, and even those who can cannot use them for all trips. Bike lanes are able

I'd like to see a study across all road construction whether excessive induced demand is a guaranteed effect. In all articles related to it I only see examples cherry-picked where induced demand negated the effects of adding lanes. How

You mention in passing that consumer demand is important, but it's hard to overstate how important it is. This fact is regularly ignored by communist systems because it seems immoral. Consumer demand for stupid video games led directl

They never said which process the foundry services will provide, it's entirely possible they'll use the extremely mature 14nm++ process.

This is an incredible explanation! I'd love a deeper explanation of the uncertainty principle applied to the Doppler effect for radar that is mentioned in passing.

The huge advantage with an untaxed investment account is that you can actively move assets around and never pay capital gains. If you realize gains in a regular brokerage account then you have to pay for them at the end of the year. Not the

I think the core problem is that wine needs to be tweaked and adjusted for the applications which are running, and often running certain software requires strange things with winetricks. It’s not stable enough for a distro

For an 850K home at 15% down which is 127K, you need to have about 170K saved to comfortably buy the home. Even on a relatively modest tech industry salary or with a 2-income household at a salary of 60K (120K joint) without children this i

The editor UI is mostly implemented in the game engine, so dogfooding the web version of the engine for the editor will bring improvements in engine functionality and probably performance to all games.

I am not a tax expert, and I’m speaking from a U.S. perspective, but if the earnings are via stream donations (not ads), would that not be considered a small gift and not be taxable?

What I find interesting about coroutines is that they are relatively trivially achieved in hand-coded assembly using `jmp` and being careful about registers in a way that makes sense. `jmp`ing around is a pretty normal way to code in assemb

In order to limit buying the CDC pushed the lie that masks would not significantly affect the chance of catching COVID in a non-hospital setting. Then when that became too obviously wrong and PPE supply increased they changed their tune. Th
