There are several factors:

* Labor costs and construction material costs have grown faster than inflation.

* There are more amenities in subways (such as handicapped access in stations) now than 100 years ago, and new construction accounts for them from the beginning.

* The underground infrastructure has become more crowded, which increases the number of pipes and the like that need to be relocated or avoided during construction.

* Planning and permitting requirements have increased, so you need to spend money showing, e.g., that you aren't harming any migratory fowl resting areas, or ensuring that you can expeditiously evacuate the station in case of an emergency.

* The agencies in charge have been doing worse and worse jobs at cost-control and project management.

The proposed price tag of the second phase of the 2nd Avenue subway is absolutely ludicrous--and so far, the MTA's justification [1] for the insane cost premiums is "fire codes." Seriously. For 10× over, say, Paris Metro construction costs. The public really needs to take MTA and the New York state government to task for allowing that sort of bullshit to stand.

OK, Thanks for clearing that up.
Schools should teach law, just like programming and music.
Now that I'm thinking about it: you could just limit a connection to ~30mbit permanently and remove any data limit.

30mbit is enough to stream 4K video, so there is currently no actual use-case for more bandwidth on mobile devices. Those who are 'abusing' the unlimited plan to replace their wired internet connection at home will now have a choice: 30mbit 'slow' internet from their mobile plan, or get a separate fiber/cable/adsl line for more bandwidth.

The base stations are very much capable of sharing their available bandwidth equally through TDM, so it wouldn't impact other users that much.

Again, I'm probably being naive here...
I'm not too sure about the specifics, but I have yet to be paired with a driver that has less than a 4.0 (although I don't watch to keenly). Most of them are 4.5+. I haven't rated anybody below a four
Maybe other models are different, but I was never able to get my XPS 9550’s TB3 to work in Ubuntu or Arch. If I could I’d have kept it but like you that was a dealbreaker for me.
Does it?

In Canada [1] -- looks like about 3 out of the top 10 models are "passenger cars".

In Australia [2] - it's the same thing. 3 out of 10 are passenger cars (and both have a top 2 being a pickup - although the .au spread isn't as wide as .ca)

Part of the reason for this: building roads extended Robert Moses’ personal power, building subways didn’t.

If you can think of something fucked up about NYC, odds are good it finds its way back to Moses somehow.
Yes, they are a higher for people with bad credit, but they are still reasonable compared to unsecured loans. And that was my point, not this social justice diversion.

And, yes, the rates do go up for people with a bad credit history. You can call them "the other half" but the simplest way for you to demonstrate your devotion to helping them is to quit writing comments and go lend your retirement savings to them. You seem to imply the banks are just overcharging out of some evil motive. Now is your chance to prove how wrong they are by cashing out your trust fund (you sound like a trustafarian) and loaning it out at "fair" rates.

Just remember that every default by "the other half" destroys hard earned capital of retirees. The low rates really hurt the older savers. They're part of the "other half" too.

Well, just to be clear, it is not my opinion that we should be issuing tickets to the drivers of pickup trucks with empty beds.

Do I think the massive proliferation of obviously-underutilized pickup trucks in America is a symptom of a particularly destructive and vapid brand of consumerism? Yes, I do.
You aren't responding to the person who said they wouldn't buy a mac.
You are correct that there was an inflection point: The Press started doing their jobs again.

Further, you don't have to have that many of the press are propagandists. You just need to experience Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect a few times and realize notice that 100% of the coverage is negative towards you, your work, your colleagues, and you get the above reaction.

Since I got downvoted let me elaborate: it isn’t relevant that the universe is a function. What matters is whether the universe can be modeled better as the composition of pure functions or as some stateful composition (e.g. interacting stateful objects).

Programming languages aren’t about the final result but about how you decompose the result into modular abstractions.
There are two things that drive the popularity of small SUVs/Crossovers in the US. First, gas is cheap: $2.50 a gallon vs ~$5.50 a gallon in the EU. One can get the benefit of more space and safety without paying an energy penalty. Second, the average household size is 3.1 in the US vs 2.3 in the EU. 22% of US households have 4 or more people. There is a demand for larger cars to carry more people.

So much this. Every recession that I remember studying in my economics classes had an actual market failure acting as a trigger that caused widespread panic which resulted in a recession.

The 2018 us stock market downturn comes to mind as a panic that didn't result in a recession because there was no actual market failure causing actual economic harm outside of pure speculation.

I’ve flagged your comment for non-constructive tone. Please be civil. Regarding,

> And how will that fix plastic pollution you leave everywhere from the tires on your car?

You literally just found out about this with the rest of us. Buses and bicycles are afflicted by the same problem, since tire technology is the same everywhere. I’m sure a new material can be found; there’s no need to forever condemn ground transport just because the current implementation of tires is faulty.
Why can't they do both?
To play devils advocate, a more fair system would charge you a flat fee to maintain the connection, and a price per gigabyte to use the pipes. The more that people use the pipes, the more money you can put toward investment in fatter pipes.
I agree with what you say, but the problem is rather specific to american culture. Being called names (like bigots) because you don't wanna use a singular "they" is a regular occurrence in the present time in US.

While you think a singular "they" is correct, one of your authorities (TOEFL) who gatekeeps prestige US universities doesn't agree with you.

Many (including me) don't care what you think (not in a bad way). You aren't authority who can punish us.

We want (1) great points on TOEFL (to get into various opportunities) and (2) to avoid hurting others (i.e. misgendering). This configuration is impossible at the moment.

I hope you don't suggest that we can misgender people as long as it's a TOEFL exam. It doesnt sound ok.
Yeah! Freedom. Paying CAD45 for 4GB, when in UK I had unlimited data for GBP10.

I think any investor would say that you can put that amount on your credit card(s). That’s not the answer you want to hear but it’s the truth (disclaimer: I’m a broke entrepreneur myself).
My feeling is most use Lastpass because it's free and they don't know about Bitwarden, or (for the techies) didn't hear that Bitwarden passed a third-party code audit.

Lastpass also has a bunch of features missing in Bitwarden, but they're largely long tail stuff. My biggest complaint is it doesn't support biometric authentication on desktop.

In this case, Pass is probably not the right solution for you. It's a bit hard to setup keys and then share them over Git... which is most likely a bit too complicated. This being said, QtPass is a GUI for Pass, but not the best when compared to stuff like Bitwarden (presumably, haven't used it) or Lastpass.
How people use e-anything in Manhattan already gives me a heart attack. These things are 100% silent, go 25 mph on a flat surface, and are illegal here without a license. In fact, I’d prefer a heart attack to being hit by one.
Same here in NYC -- I and many others bike commute year round. It's certainly true that numbers decrease in the depths of winter (though not in summer), but it's not correct to suggest that the weather is unsuitable for biking.

I'd much rather bike the same distance than walk it, in both extreme heat and extreme cold. When facing extreme heat, you get the nice breeze which cycling generates that you don't get when walking. In extreme cold, wear the right clothing and the heat generated from cycling will make you warmer than walking will.
I don't follow.

If we apply degrees of severity, urgency and closeness to the two problems the use of pronouns on programming websites does not rank as severe or urgent relative to...almost anything else in the universe.

The opposite is in the US, where it's become almost universal to put on flashers in heavy rain while still driving, or waving people ahead of you into traffic. Both are illegal and dangerous, yet people think it's the smart/nice thing to do. Both have been socially reinforced to the point where I don't know they can be corrected.
Oops, I misunderstood if you were looking to invest or receive investment.
I'm not sure about the internal culture, but externally they seem to stress the importance of only using public published interfaces and frameworks as API & ABI layers and not touching anything else as they won't guarantee any stability in private internals. (per their docs iirc)
>Well by some measures we did struggle a lot during these shifts. The last industrial revolution was a period of social unrest, featuring mass riots

Are you saying that automation doesn't necessarily cause joblessness but that it did cause riots?

The industrial revolution was a pretty nasty struggle for sure, but I'd argue that was more down to the enclosure movement - people being kicked off their land - than machines.

>As for what people ended up doing, new industries opened up

And your argument hinged upon the notion that this process has now somehow... stopped... why so?

>maybe this is just semantics but if automatic tractors frees people up to be hired for instagram video production, can one say that automatic tractors "created" the instagram video market?

A lot more than just instagram video market was created after the automation of farming. Frankly, I see the process of market creation being threatened more by wealth inequality than by automation.
You have just described how a lot of MVNO operators work.

In France, you can get an unlimited subscription for 20€ / month.

As far as I remember, no strings attached, no phone either unless you want to, unlimited voice, texts and data. There is some kind of data cap, it is pretty high and if you reach it, you don't have to pay anything, your speed might just be limited for the month (although it has never happened to me afaik).

It is also unlimited in many other countries.
It flat out does not snow that much in Paris. I live in NYC which gets more snow and there's rarely a single day per year where it snows enough to make biking impractical. It just doesn't actually snow that much, and when it does, it's cleared quickly.

On the very rare day where there's enough snow on the roads to make biking impossible, just don't bike on that day. Take the subway, or work from home, or whatever.
I tried a few similar sites recently and settled on Paprika[1]. Not a big fan of their pricing plan (pay per client) but they work OK otherwise and I think they're probably the most popular in the space.

How would you compare your service to theirs?

One immediate problem that springs to mind would be for the "they" pronoun which conjugates differently.
Ha. I started working on something similar recently. Many of the current sites are hard to use, so it seems the space could use some fresh contenders.

So kudos, it looks nice - I hope you find success.
Does that give you access to all the features, or do you still need to pay?

There's been an explosion in electric things in the past few years (scooters, skateboards, one-wheels, etc), they're mighty convenient for last mile transportation, and not particularly expensive.
> the brand is associated with the unemployed and refugees

Come on. There is no provider associated with the unemployed and refugees in France. 10€ pre-paid should get you unlimited call and texts and something like 1Go of data and no one will bat an eye.

Plans are actually quite cheap too. I pay 15€ for unlimited everything and you can get as low as 2€ for 2h of call, unlimited texts and 50Mo of data.
You don't realize how often in public places there are cameras recording you. Whether it's the password they see in the clear on your screen or you physically typing, it's a risk that you don't have when you use a copy/paste password manager.

> If your entire socioeconomic model is based on positive rates of return (retirement, pensions, investment income, etc), and you can no longer obtain those returns safely, things start to break down.

Which is why most companies in the US have moved to 401k plans as assuming risk free rate of returns is ridiculous.
If you are part of the identity group, and if you question what they say, they'll call you a traitor. It's thinly veiled fascism to say the least.

True in parts of NYC that cabs are street-hail-able. When I lived in downtown Brooklyn it was quite easy to street hail a cab and then use Curb to handle payment. But now that I live deeper in Brooklyn, there are basically no cabs to street hail on any street in walking distance, and using Curb to request a cab usually takes 10 minutes. Using Lyft takes more like 2-5 minutes.

Meanwhile, my office is on Canal Street, which seems to be basically filled with already booked cabs - while it's in a busy part of lower Manhattan, I have had no luck street hailing when I'm sick and need to get home. If you're in Midtown I definitely believe that street hailing is easier/faster than app hailing.
This is true about all walks of Apple software, sadly, from file syncing to Bonjour (mDNSresponder) to UI frameworks to developer tools to consumer applications. Apple developers rewrite software in a butterfingered way on a consistent basis, creating software that lacks any design, missing large chunks of functionality and often lacks any kind of polish or coherency.

Other problems in the dev culture accentuate this problem even further. It seems there is a complete lack of dependency graph between the software stacks; apple engineers who opt to rewrite a piece of software or functionality have no documentation or idea how the software is used or was originally intended to be used, be it inside Apple or otherwise, often causing serious design-level bugs, often resulting in major rollbacks. The lack of any QA work is also very apparent, especially in recent years, where simple bugs and glitches are allowed to go through, let alone major rewrites. The only tool to counter this is radar/feedback assistant, which are tools well documented in their inefficiency from current and ex Apple developers themselves.

I don't think this should solely fall on Apple developers, of course. As is often the case, such inherent problems in culture are due to lackluster management. This has been hinted at by many ex Apple engineers.

I'm a moderately happy user, no issues here. I switched from KeePass because the latter didn't have good browser integration, but if that got better since I last saw it, I wouldn't switch now.

Correcting away!

The energy of the Cf neutrons doesn't matter much, since after that first generation the neutrons will be ordinary U fission neutrons.

The comment about moderators/reflector is silly, since the purpose of those is to make k higher. One you know what k is, they are irrelevant.

The ratio of Cf burned to (Cf + U) is 1 - k, so unless k is very close to 1 you are going to use a hell of a lot of Cf. But if Cf is very close to 1, you need to control it anyway as fuel burns up, so you might as well just go critical. Cf buys you nothing.

Am easy start here in NYC - demand that serial driving offenders lose their licenses and face serious penalties if they violate than ban. If you systematically run red lights in this city you should face consequences. Until that happens a subset of awful people who don’t care will be deadly threats.
Thanks for the kind words. This indeed was a hack project that I would work on in front of the TV when I had time after work. It feels good to have it in a somewhat "showoff-able" state. I think what made me stick to this project as opposed to the number of other ones I've given up on is that this was something I was using throughout the entire development. So I've been building something that I want to use.
To your comment on the animation delay, I agree with you. I'll remove it in the next few days in favor of a better way to display the information.
I think it had more to do with cheap calls to various countries.

Haven't used the official server, but I've been using the official clients with bitwarden_rs without issues for the past week. So I'd guess its a complete reimplementation.
Are we sure that the subway is gonna be any better in those situations? At least you get a breeze. Here in NYC I find the subway (specifically the un-air-conditioned stations) much more unpleasant than biking.
Even with the so-called "public" APIs, the way Apple operates, there is no guarantee of any stability, as most iOS developers know. AppKit is much more stable than UIKit, but still nowhere near the stability that companies like Microsoft provide (including changing the name of a product—Windows 9->10—so that existing software does not break!).

If you are using features of the frameworks that are outside of the "happy path" for that year's keynote announcements, you can expect terrible bugs on a yearly basis. These bugs happen for the exact same reasons as stated in the GP.
As others have commented, yes you can by exporting as a CSV and then importing that into Bitwarden. Even the notes were successfully imported.

During this process, I also cleaned up my vault (some accounts had very long URLs saved as opposed to the base domain; e.g. https://www.foobar.com/signup&method=blah... => https://www.foobar.com) and discovered that a bunch of my entries had either empty usernames or empty passwords.
The article discusses rentier, which is pretty much the rent seeking discussed here. Renting an apartment isn't profiting off the monopolization of property either.
Nice work.

Since you've got this far I'll tell you about an idea I've had in the back of my mind for years:

1) Slurp in as many recipes as possible from the internet.

2) Create a way to build a Food Framework by having a whitelist, and/or black list of ingredients.

So, for example, a great way to eat if you have diabetes is plant based low fat.

In this case you could create that Food Framework by whitelisting all vegetables and grains.

Or let's say you wanted a paleo diet, then you could blacklist grains.

Or vegan, blacklist meat, dairy, eggs, etc.

Or no peanuts (for allergies etc)

3) Save your Food Framework and then the site only shows recipes based on that framework.

I like the idea because

1) It can appeal to lots of niche groups who don't have great options for something like that.

2) If you stick to the right food framework for you it could help you get healthy, loose weight, etc.

Anyway, great work. Features you have there are great already.

This was true in the original Model S/X, because a screen that size didn’t exist in automotive grade. They resorted to using an industrial grade screen which they qualified for use in the car, but it’s had the yellowing issue.

My understanding is all the new screens are tested to Grade 2 instead of Grade 4 like the original screens from Innolux.

A big flaw of modern society is the most experienced experts we rely on for industry regulations inevitably have a bias towards their industry.

Look in any industry and their regulating bodies and often it's a revolving door of key executives giving each other a slap on the wrist now and then and not effectively regulating or punishing clear wrongdoing.
