This is really a job for the legislature, not the courts. We all have an intuitive sense that something about Getty's behavior is morally wrong. But what is wrong about it isn't very well-defined. Creating those legal definitions is a big part of the legislature's job.
Thing that solves those issues are battery powered locomotives. This idea generally invites disbelief but when you run the numbers it works because the power to weight requirements drop as vehicles get larger.

The result you can use overhead lines where safe, cheap and convenient and avoid them where they are not, like rail switching yards.

Cheap soybeans makes meat cheaper, but the production of meat is inherently inefficient. If the production of meat substitutes from soy could be made more efficient than the production of meat from soy, then de facto soy subsidies would disincentivize the consumption of meat.
Irrelevant? Having the land to generate the dollars to begin the information economy sure was helpful...
I think this also has to do with EU cities being much older, and "grew up" prior to automobiles even existing/being wide-spread. American cities/sprawls are designed around the automobile (and maybe some sick idea of "the american dream" pushed by early industrialists)
At least the 1.0 version was very expensive. Roughly the same mass would cost twice as much. That would be one reason not to prefer it.
>You seem to be saying that unless a significant fraction of their students end up at FAANG companies then recruiters will not care whether "Lambda School" is on a resume.

To be a top tier bootcamp, a significant amount of your students would need to end up at FAANG companies because that's what top tier means, but you could run an effective bootcamp that wasn't top tier.

However bootcamps have a bad reputation because there are too many terrible bootcamps. Therefore to cut through that noise, as of right now, your bootcamp needs to be top tier.

>Is there anything Lambda could do to change your mind on this point? For example, suppose they submitted their graduates' CVs to 100 job ads, but for 50 randomly chosen ads removed any reference to Lambda from the CV, then reported a significant difference in response rate...?

Sure, assuming an outside independent group did the test, and you replaced 9 months at Lambda School with 9 months of equivalent experience, but that's not going to happen anytime soon. Reputation is just people's perception, and right now outside of a few elite bootcamps, the perception is that bootcamps in general are mostly a neutral to negative signal.

>Similarly, might an A/B test persuade you on this point? Suppose Lambda identified 100 applicants who met their admission criteria, but 50 were rejected at random, then Lambda reported a significant difference in the median income of each group over the next two years...?

Sure again assuming an independent group conducted this test, so I wasn't just taking Lambda's word that the recruits were rejected at random.

But what's the point of this? No test like that is ever going to happen.
Indeed. I think TFA is opposed to non-negotiable externally imposed deadlines, which is not really news.

I think it's putting the cart before the horse. Improve the public transit first. I also have very little confidence that congestion pricing revenue would be spent wisely.

Basically International Relations Theory ignores something you can call "Theory of Civilisations". There is a lot of such theories but most of them are one sided. We can quickly distinguish few groups:

Biological theories - in such theories biology is key factor. For example: scientific racism (Arthur de Gobineau), Social Darwinism (Herbert Spencer), or theories where you treat civilisations like a living organism that always have to go through 3 phases: youth/development, adulthood/prosperity, senility/decline (for example Oswald Spengler theory).

Economical theories - economy as key factor. For example: Liberalism, Marxism, etc. Right now those theories are very popular, a lot of people assume that there is actually one big human civilisation and differences are just in economic level of each country/region/group.

Ideological theories - ideology/religion as key factor. Examples: Christianity, Islam, Freemasonry, Cultural Marxism, etc.

There were also attempts to merge all of those aspects: Toynbee, Koneczny (someone mention his work in one of the comments), Huntington (personally I think he ineptly copied Koneczny work).

Because of Pax Americana after WWII most people start belive that liberal democracy and capitalism was finall destination of all civilisations (Fukuyama famous book: "End of history"). But right now with rise of China and their model of state/economy/politics people start looking for much broader theories.
Well, that makes sense.
It seems a lot of people here have never been to a larger city during rush our. Our traffic is nothing compared to say, LA or SF.

That's definitely the case for me. After a long break in playing games where I thought games are just not for me anymore, I rediscovered that I actually still like spending lots of time with them. It just has to be the right games, and those differ from the games I enjoyed when I was young (the sets are dissimilar, but not entirely disjunct).
The DX7 was 6 operators, and the module in the CX5M (I had one) was 4 operators, like the DX21. It used the YM2151 sound chip, which was also present in a number of video games.

OKRs can be great, or they can result in releasing software that isn't ready yet (see Google's Buzz for context).

Missed the edit:

> Socialism and capitalism are not opposite ends of a yardstick. I am _not talking about socialism_. Limiting the ability to own property or trade _is the same thing_ as limiting freedom. One has literally limited the abilities of another. These are not opinions, but rather _pure deduction lead to a non-controversial point_.

You have a definition of capitalism that has very little to do with any sort of modern (.. like, post 1800's) political theory... so we're obviously not going to get anywhere.

It worked for me specifically in that context, but I didn't have a desire to do much with it in ensuing years as it seemed to have a deleterious effect on my creative capacity (important for work I do like) + did have a negative impact on my ability to sleep and made me really hyper.

The grinding happened for me too but didn't bother me much, I just chewed gum. Could see how doing that on a daily basis would be a drag.

Many things that are done in biology (and medicine to some extent) are way simpler than they seem because much of it was figured out a long time ago using tools that scientists/doctors had at hand.

We grow cells in what is essentially sugar water + some growth factors that we get from cow serum (b/c America has lots of cows). Google tissue culture 101 videos on youtube to get an idea of how it all works. You can't (and don't want) to inject the animals with all that fluid + protein (it can be liters), so you transfer the cells into tubes and spin them in a centrifuge (~300 x g). Spinning them will bring them to the bottom of the tube and they will form a pellet. The pellet sticks to the bottom as you literally dump the fluid out. Now you can resuspend the cells in a few microliters of a saline solution and inject them into the mice.

For example, cells growing in an incubator usually need to be at a density of 200k-1e6/ml so that they have enough nutrients and waste doesn't build up too quickly. For 5e6 cells, that would be 5-25ml of fluid, which is WAY too much to inject into a mouse, so you have to concentrate the cells into a much smaller volume before you can inject. I will typically inject mice with 100µl of fluid containing 5e6 cells.

In terms of injection, you can google subcutaneous injections in mice to see how it's done. It's the same as if you've ever had a tuberculosis skin test or a minor operation where they injected you with lidocaine locally (or what your dentist does). The cancer cells are injected into the space right under the skin.

An SF landlord has 14 days to provide a key after being asked in writing. It's acceptable to deny the request for unlawful occupancy, but not for giving a family member, houseguest, or service worker access to your home.

For reference: https://sfrb.org/section-3713-keys

If they claim unlawful occupancy, you can invoke the Kim 2.0 amendments of the rent ordinance which basically prevent an SF landlord from denying you the roommates of your choice.

If a landlord denies a roommate under the Kim 2.0 amendments, you can almost certainly get your rent cut in half by petitioning the rent board.

Lessons from NYC’s Congestion Pricing
Manager for several years here.

A few months ago, a direct report of mine got a promotion. I casually asked him to stop by my office.

I had forgotten that there was some turbulence elsewhere in the organization, and it turned out that he thought he was being laid off. I usually remember to say "it's good news" before this kind of spontaneous "drop by" request, but I forgot that time.

Argh, send me back to manager camp.
I disagree. Pretty much any economist will tell you that the best way to reduce consumption of a good is to increase its price.

By implementing congestion charges only those with a good enough reason to drive will do so, and give an incentive to use alternatives.

Will this disproportionally affect people with less money? Yeah, in the same way that everything that gets more expensive affects people with less money. People with less money have less of it to spend on things. They are now incentivized to find alternatives, creating demand for alternatives, therefore creating supply of alternatives.

If people still decide they want to burn more of their money driving, they are welcome to do so. No one is telling anyone how to spend their money. We are simply adjusting the price of a good to price in things that aren’t taken into account (traffic).

People arguing that congestion charges dispropropprtioanlly affect the poor often also support pricing in the true cost of other things, like carbon emissions and plastic bags. Are you saying you wouldn’t support a tax on plastic? Or emissions? Cap and trade? Those things also increase the prices of things we want to discourage the consumption of and also probably affect people with lower incomes disproportiaonately. You can’t have it both ways.
Taco Bell and Burger King are two of the only chains when traveling who will (reliably) vegan/halal certify. Makes sense why we're seeing this adoption from BK early.
It really isn't a distribution problem, although it is tempting to look at it that way. But I think you are neglecting human behavior.

It would seem that what is happening is that the majority of women are competing for the attention of a small minority of men. The goal of the players is not to make sure that the most people have sex.
That "handful" you perceive are way more than the number of people in cars using the same space.

A bicycle needs less than a quarter as much space on the road as a car does, it seems there are fewer of them because they are physically smaller.
Planes only make one stop at the final destination.

The high-speed train between New York and Boston could make two or three stops, for example.

I think 9 million people travel between San Francisco and Los Angeles every year. Wouldn’t that be best served by trains?

As the US grows from 350,000,000 to 450,000,000 people, should we add a few more trains every day, or a few dozen airplanes?

What matters is people's perception of how much a program can boost their income.

Perception and reality often diverge--particularly when there is significant information asymmetry. Accreditation doesn't fix this problem, but it alleviates it by providing minimum standards and consistent metrics to allow more comparison.
It would be kinda cool to see a long train split in half , front and back taking different routes.

That happens all the time here, in Spain. Some trains from Madrid to Andalusia travels to Seville with two locomotives, one in the front, another one in the rear. Then half the train goes on to Cádiz, half to Huelva. Oh, and it's sometimes very long, forty passengers cars + 2 locom. + several restaurant cars.

I guess the same happens with other routes. It's all electric, of course. Rail here is cheap, very confortable and fast, 250 km/H in all high-speed network.

Edit: actually, now that I come to think about it, it seems most high-speed trains have locomotives in both ends. Maybe so they don't have to turn around? The splitted train could use four then.

No they don't. Less than 45% of New Yorkers own a car, and less than 20% commute by car. They are a small minority in the city economy, and there is no reason the rest of us need to subsidize their convenience with free parking and exclusive access to 90% of street width.

Higher fuel taxes would aid congestion without additional toll infrastructure and reduce the money sent to dictatorships at the same time. That revenue could be used to fix/expand public transport.

That seems US specific. Of course it wouldn't make sense to use the batteries for that case, but maybe it would be cheaper for you than electrifying the network.

Batteries are now a viable option. They can pull power from the overhead lines or third rail when available and run on batteries when power isn't available. The LiFePO4 batteries are a drop-in replacement for existing diesel generators, so producing them is easy.

Frankly because it would be extremely unpopular. Even in the right wing places, where there is a correlation to less favorable views of marijuana, there's a high correlation to belief that states rights should trump federal rights. Really they believe that the fed should be minimal and things mostly run by the states.
Trucking pays for fuel costs in addition to a road use tax I believe, I know they tear up roads, especially overloaded dump trucks etc, but without an alternative there’s really no better option. If and when they go electric, then you’ll start to see some legislation around miles driven etc which I believe California has looked into since they aren’t getting the federal or state tax rev share off of the fuel itself coming out of pumps.
