I don't think you understand. Congestion pricing explicitly exposes the costs of the streets. Price spikes due to congestion create market signals for competition to come in and make it cheaper.

Right now, you have no clue where your taxes go, nor do you get a cent by cent breakdown of how much went to each cost.

There is an enormous amount of economic waste in state and federal budgets before considering 10yr government contracts where incumbents almost always win because of the exorbitant amount of one off acomodations made during the previous decade, but most u.s. government contract bids by law require to entertain 3 bidders before most of the time choosing the same one.

Also, by the way, uber works this way. The price will go up for 5 drivers when 100 people need the same 5 drivers as opposed to if 3 or 5 people need them. Alot of economic incentives are made here:

1. More drivers will come to the space because the pay is good.

2. People who can't afford it arent going to pay this congestion price making it possible for drivers to even attempt to prioritise etc. It also helps drivers prioritise. Do they really need to drive. It also helps competition come in and make up this economic gap if there is one.

Also, NY energy pricing market, as well as California, Texas and MISO region all operate on real time energy markets using "congestion costs" as one of the frameworks to expose pricing based on demand.

The only difference is:

1. You actually get to see an objective algorithmic breakdown of WHY the cost is what is. Try asking the government for that now for street costs....ha

2. The transparent pricing exposes market signals for competition to come compete, for a lower price, making a more economic system

both which over time

1. lower prices for consumers (in this case people who use the streets)

2. Create a more efficient system (if a road system is inefficient, and that is the root cause) as a result of 1.

In the long run, this is a positive move in the right direction towards governments being more transparent about where costs are allocated. It's a far cry from being able to vote by knowing where your tax money actually goes, but it's a step in the right direction and it doesnt completely divorce government from competition to keep exorbitant costs in check on the government side.
In the UK, and I think the EU generally, anyone including the manufacturer can sell to the public.

When Daewoo entered the UK market they made a big deal about not having franchise dealerships or commissioned salespeople. After a few years, the Daewoo owned showrooms were replaced with traditional dealerships.

Companies outside of traditional franchises haven’t cropped up selling brand new cars. New car sales happen through dealerships. Online sales, through specialists like jamjar.com, never took off.

None of this says franchised dealerships are perfect nor that they’re the same between the UK and US. However, in a place without restrictions on who sells new cars there has been no significant change in the model.

If they live in a place with walking access to a shuttle (and enough walking distance amenities that they don't need a car), they're paying a lot in rent.

I wager you're paying more for car insurance than you spend on gas - car insurance is more expensive in the Bay Area than the rest of the country.

The price of gas certainly affects the contingent workers (guards, cooks, cleaners) whose work schedules don't line up with the shuttles.

> How can a dollar taken from me by the government and given to a poor person generate a positive cash flow overall?

Changes to th velocity of money in different uses. Dollars aren't consumed when spent, they keep circulating.

> Step 4. My dollar is used to pay the administrative and bureaucratic needs of the system, god bless them if they can do it for less than thirty cents (after healthcare, salaries, fringe benefits, building costs, etc.) my dollar is down to $0.70.

No, it's still a dollar, because spending it transfers it to other people, rather than destroying it. And, with government spending, at the first hop essentially all of that $0.30 is still in the domestic economy.

> Step 4. The money is given to a person in the lower quartile who then spends the $0.70.

Also, again, largely in the domestic economy, and in places where it has a higher velocity in the domestic economy than it would if a richer person spent it.

And that's where the gain in total economic activity comes from.

> If the economists were honest with that statistic, they would admit it is not the percent increase but the turn around time to spend the money

That's exactly what economists say produces the return to the economy / increase in economy activity that GP discusses.

This is Econ 101 stuff.

> or a pull forward to quickly juice the economy.

It's not a pull forward. (There are ways you can do that, too, but downward redistribution isn't really one of them.)
The US felt extremely threatened by Japanese manufacturing in the 80s and in fact most of the world had this cultural idea of Japan becoming the dominant global technology force. As a consequence the US government imposed a 100% tariff on Japanese electronics, accused the country of "currency manipulation" (sound familiar?). And on the topic of IP Japanese faced the very same copycat accusations that China does now.

Let's just take this fortune article from 1987 as an example:

http://archive.fortune.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive...

Try and replace every occurence of Japan with China and see how it sounds.

It even seeped into fiction. There's a reason neo-tokyo imagery is at the forefront of Gibson-era sci-fi.

Epic Games ... plans on doling out $100,000,000 in prize money across 2019.

The Fortnite World Cup will pit players against each other for a $1 million prize pool each week. Then, from June 26-28, the top 100 solo players and top 50 duo teams will duke it out in New York. Every player will leave the finals with at least $50,000 of the $30 million prize pool, while the solo champion will net themselves $3 million.

Yep, if you like Perl you've got to spend some time with Ruby. It shares a heritage. Many of the people I used to Perl with moved over and were (and are) very happy. That said many of the "perl-isms" in Ruby are looked down upon by the community, but you can still use them ;-)

The short story is that when news about the incident first emerged, it was lacking the context about the Black Hebrew Nationalists antagonizing the boys. Early coverage made it sound like the boys sought out Mr Phillips to antagonize him. When it turned out that he had inserted himself into the situation, rightly or wrongly, it changes a lot. This doesn't necessarily exonerate the teenagers--you might still find stuff to criticize about their behavior--but it does provide a more sympathetic context, one that was missing with the initial press coverage.

So yes, whatever your final takeaway, the initial coverage was incomplete and people did form and share very strong opinions based on that incomplete coverage. Once more information came out, many people changed their minds while others stuck by their initial takes. Had the coverage been more complete before people starting making opinions, we might have avoided a lot of unnecessary kerfuffle over this.

Fair enough. There's always the alternative angle of, “Recently, I was asked if I was going to fire an employee who made a mistake that cost the company $600,000. “No”, I replied. “I just spent $600,000 training him – why would I want somebody to hire his experience?” [0]

>Their competition actually does know how to build cars to spec

That's the problem: the competitors are trying to "build a car, except with electric drivetrain". This gave us Nissan Leafs and BMW i3s. There's nothing "sexy" (appealing) about those cars. Contrast them with the 2008 Tesla Roadster, and every subsequent model: due to the awe factor, people queue to buy them, in spite of the glaring manufacturing deficiencies. You essentially contrasted potential vis-a-vis actual queues of people with bundles of cash in hand. When was the last time you saw a month-long queue at your local dealership?

Those manufacturers desperately need to un-learn how to build cars, to be able to build their own take on Tesla. Also, at the same time, how to ditch the dealership model[1] that's enshrined both via tight web of interdependences and also via law in multiple states.

They did so repeatedly.

The bulletin completely fails to note that if you don't time the STAB CUTOUT immediately after you use manual electronic control but instead the MCAS acts again before you cutout, you're left trying to manually trim the stabilizers in a situation where the elevators are putting so much force on the jackscrew that manual stabilizer trim may be impossible.

Your line of thinking is perfectly valid and that seems to be the defense argument, but overall the article seems to suggest that it was well organized. Someone in China was sending constant shipments of phones to them at various locations, and they would send back the real replacement phones and then get paid via one of the guys's mom. As you say, it's still possible that they legitimately believed the phones were just broken and they were helping facilitate repairs but to me it's a little hard to believe given how organized it was.
This seems like more sales hype out of IBM. Is the "secret sauce" that the AI is using, simply a search history monitor to see if employees are on job search websites? Or maybe 95 percent of IBM employees want to quit any way.

Because for anything you wanted to do there were 6 different ways to do it in Perl, making it rather hard to learn Perl.

Perl also looks like line noise, which makes it hard to read.

PHP also won because you can take a .html file add <?=$x+1?> and it's a valid PHP program. Perl was harder.

There is a fourth control of course which comes into play when nothing else will give room: quality. You can take many shortcuts to deliver in time, full scope, with the resources available. But the result will be buggy and/or unmaintainable.

Surprising amount of companies choose this path, I guess most without realizing it.
The only challenge here is that you can't bring out other fields from the table.

Building on my previous example:

insert into testing values (8, 2, 'stuff');
select distinct grp, first_value(id) over (partition by grp order by id) as rn, other from testing;

This returns two rows for grp = 2, whereas adding the 'other' column to my first attempt (both in the CTE and the main query) works as expected and only returns one row for each grp.

This would work properly within the CTE, but then you're joining to the CTE instead of just querying it. There are many ways to solve this problem.

My ideal solution would be something like this that gets rid of the CTE:

select grp, id, row_number() over (partition by grp order by id) as rn, other from testing where rn = 1

But that doesn't work. Oracle only allows window functions in the SELECT clause, not in the WHERE clause, plus you can't reference the column alias anyway.
PHP won because it was easy to install and restrict (by memory usage) on shared servers, as well as the fact that writing a PHP script was as simple as renaming an .html file to .php so web designers who wanted some dynamic functionality could use it really easily.

As bad as some aspects of PHP were, making it so trivial to install and make available on a server was a brilliant move that lots of languages could still learn from today.

I don't want to pay Amazon anything, I want to pay Linode/Digital Ocean 5 or 10 or 20 dollars per month and I can do the rest myself pretty well. My personal projects will never ever going to reach Google's scale and seeing that they don't bring me anything (they're not intended to) I'm not that eager to pay an order a magnitude more to a company like Amazon or Google in order to host those projects.

I doubt it's usually for the resume, per se. But I do think peer pressure is a very strong force, as are aspirations. Most of us would rather be able to tell our friends, "We're using this huge and complicated but massively scalable Kafka cluster", than, "Yeah, our message queue is a database table. No, it isn't web scale. No, we don't anticipate ever growing large enough for that to become a problem."

Also, we like playing with new toys. Solving the same old problems the same old way we were doing it 20 years ago just isn't sexy.

I just took a look at the take-off procedure in the checklist, and it lists that one should extend flaps before and during take-off/ascent. The checklist says that one should start retracting the flaps at 1000'AGL, the altitude where they seem to have started having problems.

MCAS is disabled while flaps are extended. It would have activated the second they retracted the flaps.

It's worth pointing out that CT is extremely sensitive for calcium and hence bone, so that bones could be scanned at a lower Xray dose than soft tissue. 30 seconds of Googling showed a study where a whole body CT bone survey was carried out using 4.1 mSv, or about 200 chest xrays. If you're not looking for fine detail in the bones, an even lower dose might suffice.
Arguably a fundamental problem with these planes is that they have a bit too much automation, which runs directly contrary to the historical attitude of Boeing that 'pilots are always in control'. So this is a surprising change for a long-time Boeing pilot.

If you want to see what it's like with far more automation, look at Airbus. They have a fundamentally different philosophy on computer controlled aviation. They also don't have a perfect record, there have been Airbus crashes due to malfunctioning automation.

But the article doesn't even say that they heard the investigators say that. At best it's hearsay and gossip of n-th degree, at worst it's outright misrepresentation of the facts.

Look at the weasel words: "according to government officials and others familiar with their simmering frustrations."

Who are government officials in this usage? And what qualifies someone as "familiar" with the matter? How many people work as a government official in some capacity and could claim some vague familiarity with the Mueller report? Does a park ranger in Wyoming who follows political news qualify? It wouldn't be technically lying to cite them as a "government official familiar with the matter", right?
