At the end of the day, metro is always going to be cheaper overall than cars as a mode of travel.

Think about it. Let's take the bay area as an example. We have 7 million people or so. I would wager cars per capita is like 0.8 or something but let's round down to 5 million cars in the bay. Car ownership is about 9k per year. So that's about 45 billion a year in car ownership costs alone.

Now, let's say we built a good metro/ public transit in the bay, such that a family doesn't need a car, but some will still have them. So maybe there are still a million cars, saving us about 35 billion a year.

Operating costs for NYC metro are about 400 million a year. Let's say the bay is 20x more expensive and spends 8 billion a year on operating costs for a truly world-class transit system.

That means every year we'd save about 20 billion by using transit. So even if the capitol cost of building out a good transit system in the bay is 300 billion, we'd be saving money in just 15 years.

And of course this completely discounts the astonishing negative externalities of cars w.r.t land use and economic value.

The math is just not going to work out in favor of cars. The development model is trash. And of course it's trash when you think about how it scales. Every person needs a car! Every person needs an extremely complex, expensive machine that consumes vastly more energy than the alternative! A subway car presumably services thousands of people a day. The average car services one person.

Car manufacturers have been exceedingly successful at gaslighting Americans for the better part of a century. A little critical thinking can help
That would be more like group chats. You hear the people close to you. Social media is different where a small group are screaming very loud and drown out the majority.
>> Progressives and the radical right don't think so, and they've certainly had tons of influence on government.

> Those aren't 100% of the electorate. This loops back to the point that democracy is failing when the bulk of the electorate no longer bother to vote.

You said voting has no influence; I gave evidence of people who vote and have changed things dramatically.
So about 10x more expensive per person hmm
No. I'm an expat in Switzerland and dealing with the government and other institutions has been great - can't even call it a bureaucracy.

But you can't know something you've never personally experienced. You're collapsing that which you can experience with that which you can't and assuming that because there are things unknown that are possible to experience they are the same as things that are unknown that you can't experience. That's a very different type of knowing.

It is certainly more accurate to say that one may believe in something to be true, but one can't know.
“The great resignation”, “quiet quitting” and now “social quitting” are all instances of the media turning tiny observed trends or even normal operations in to some great names social shift when the reality is not much has changed.

You're right, I didn't ask these follow-on questions, probably because it's scary to think about them! The organization would survive either way, but it would feel like a pretty big failure to have nuked B2C revenue and then regretted it. But making business decisions based on emotional considerations probably isn't the wisest way to go.

I guess what I really need is to talk to someone who's had to make this call in the past and get a sense of how scary this should be, and how to know when I've asked all the important follow-on questions. I imagine it's the sort of thing that one gets braver/better at after having just done it once or twice.
My family is currently trying to get title to a property that should be inherited and the amount of buyouts and legal squabbles it requires just so we can repair this decrepit old building is astounding.

My guess is most families that emigrated to the US and have some inheritance right to property back in Portugal do not care to go through this legwork.

The underlying paper at https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2022.11.024 says:

> Gene flow from the British-Irish Isles during this period seems to have had a lasting impact on the gene pool in most parts of Scandinavia. This is perhaps not surprising, given the extent of Norse activities in the British-Irish Isles, starting in the 8th century with recurrent raids and culminating in the 11th century North Sea Empire, the personal union that united the kingdoms of Denmark, Norway, and England. The circumstances and fate of people of British-Irish ancestry who arrived in Scandinavia at this time are likely to have been variable, ranging from the forced migration of slaves to the voluntary immigration of more high-ranking individuals such as Christian missionaries and monks.

Also perhaps relevant:

> the results shown in Figure 5 provide at least tentative evidence that gene flow into Scandinavia of eastern Baltic ancestry and, to a lesser extent, also British-Irish ancestry was female biased.

This might be overseas Scandinavian males coming home with new wives. Or sex slaves/concubines. Or something else. Ask a historian.

I think there's a difference between looking for a thing to solve a specific problem without knowing what it is or the right search terms, and not looking for anything specific at all.

To be more concrete, the former might be "my sink is leaking and I need a washer or nut or something for this pipe joint, but I don't know what they're called", vs "I want a more preppy look for a party this weekend".

The former has a correct answer, the customer may just not know exactly how to ask for it. The latter is not just subjective in the search terms, but subjective in the solution to the actual problem, and could take many forms, across many categories, including several at once.

> Do you have a consent problem with surveillance videos?

Ubiquitous CCTV cameras certainly bring issues of privacy, as well as what they should be used for.

One example is Smart Streetlights, which were initially promoted as energy saving lights that would help to measure and manage traffic and pollution, but quickly turned into dragnet police surveillance systems, initially for solving violent crimes but ultimately including property crimes such as vandalism, illegal dumping, and destruction of city property[1], and for protest surveillance [2].

Sending git patches on a mailing list works I guess (after all, it works well enough for the Linux kernel), but yeah it's a bit crude of a tool…
You immigrate (verb) into a country. That makes you an immigrant (noun) of your new country.

You emigrate (verb) out of a country. That makes you an emigrant (noun) of your old country.

You expatriate (verb) to a country, from your homeland. You are an expatriate (noun) (aka expat) if you live in a country other than your native one.

For example, an American-born man who moved to Germany for part of their career and is living in Vietnam for retirement would be an American expat, who immigrated to Vietnam and emigrated from Germany.

You are often all 3 of them at once, depending on perspective. Colloquially, expats usually emigrate out of their homeland for specific reasons, usually either climate, culture, taxes. Eg. someone would expatriate to Portugal to take advantage of the tax scheme (this article), or maybe expatriate to Mexico for 'better' weather, or maybe expatriates to Paris for the cultural experience.

It is often assumed or implied that an expat has no intention of "integrating" in the culture of their host nation. Eg. an American in Mexico that moved for the weather wouldn't raise children there or apply for citizenship, but simply enjoy retiring on the beach and taking advantage of the cheaper CoL. They may still primarily speak English and seek out fellow Americans-in-mexico to socialize with instead of the locals. Conversely, a full Mexican family (parents+kids) that moved to America "for a better life" may not be considered an expat, since they intend to become citizens of America and raise their family as Americans. That is why expats sometimes have a poor reputation in their host nation, compared to other "immigrants".

> I think, and might be wrong, that the "Buddha" was not really much different from any other prophet. A highly deranged individual

That's a pretty wild leap to make from your observations. So wild, in fact, that I'd say you really wanted to make it rather than caring about the facts. Why would the imperfect nature of modern Buddism as practiced in Cambodia be proof that the Buddha was "deranged"?

Why would the behavior of any living person be proof of the mental state of someone who died thousands of years ago, for that matter?
I feel like I have a pretty good understanding of git, but the problems these helpers are trying to solve make my head spin.

> git rebase --interactive can only repair linear series of commits, not trees. If you modify a commit with multiple children, then you have to be sure to rebase all of the other children commits appropriately.

Can someone explain (preferably with a sequence of git commands) how you end up in such a situation? When would you end up modifying a commit with multiple children?

Is this for a case where a bunch of people branch from master@HEAD (lets call this A), then you need to modify A, so you then need to rebase each branch that branched from A individually?

I guess the workflows I'm used too explicitly try to avoid doing things that cause the problems that these helpers try to solve. I'm so used to thinking in this current mode that I find it hard to imagine when these problems would arise.

'git undo' terrifies me though. I really hate when there's lots of magic going on and I don't know what state my git repo will end up when I run a command. I rather run N commands, where I'm pretty confident what will happen in each stage, than one command that just 'fixes' things. Because if it fails to fix something, I'll be in some unknown state without understanding how I got into it.

I think we can safely say that the suburban experiment (and the car-dependent experiment) have failed completely.

I was recently in Taipei. I stayed in New Taipei City, which is not the center of town. And yet, within a 10 minute walk there was (1) a very large, beautiful park (2) all the shops, food, barbers, medical clinics, etc you could ever need (3) a metro station.

From that station I could get to most anywhere in Taipei & New Taipei, a metro area of 7 million, in under an hour. I could ride it 3 stops and board a high speed train 200 miles away, fully the other end of the country, in less than 90 minutes. In the month I was there, we probably rode transit 150 times, and only one train was ever late. By 4 minutes.

What we've done in America is a complete disaster. Instead of being able to simply walk out your front door and get groceries, walk your kid to school, walk to the doctor, walk to the restaurant, we have to get in a car and drive FOR LONGER than the walk!
It would be the perfect scenario, I think people would pre-pay.

> It used to be that iPhones made great, tasteful photos by default. That was why people bought them.

I think most people buy iPhones because it's a status symbol or because it's what they are accustomed to. Certainly not because of feature A or B, and most definitely not if that feature is "tasteful photos", whatever that means (whose taste?).

But there is a small vocal minority which cares about picture quality, that is true. Totally irrelevant to apple's bottom line though.

Vibe shift is just another term for a change in elite aspirant opinion. The vibe is localized to highly trend conscious social and professional milieus. These scenes are often regarded as a cultural vanguard, but are in fact often detached from the majority of the population, and are less harbingers of broad shifts in public opinion, and more simple reporters on their own microclimates. That is all to say, the hard numbers might not materialize for some time, if at all, and not for the reasons presently stated.
