When Apple Pay first started to become common, I looked hard at it through the lens of my own retail payment processing experience. One of the things that impressed me most about it at the time was just how rooted in industry standards it was. None of it from the radio back was Apple-specific at all at the time, and by my read of this piece, that has held up through the present.

At the time, I recall a few merchants who were intentionally accepting card-based tap-to-pay needing to alter their systems because they found themselves accidentally accepting the very standards-based Apple tap-to-pay, and they didn't want to. (CVS comes specifically to mind... IIRC they were part of a competing scheme, and they wanted the fact that their competing scheme was accepted at their retail locations to help differentiate that scheme from Apple Pay.)

I'm goad the author took the time to do a more current review in this context, because when the "only Apple Pay does this" mythology started to emerge recently, I was scratching my head, wondering if something had changed since I had last gotten to look.

One might consider that it would give something for these farmers to subsist on that didn't enrich the Taliban. With that issue settled and stable, you could make inroads elsewhere without inadvertently filling up the enemy's coffers.
> Apple did a great job mainstreaming digital wallets like this, what they do is not unique in the industry.

I may misremember, but I think Apple Pay was pretty unique when it first launched, which is why it was supported at so few places. Other phone payment systems (like I think the original Samsung Pay) just sent the card number straight to the machine.
> Once those are fixed, I'd embrace congestion pricing.

Isn't congestion pricing being used to finance the MTA? I don't understand your complaint here, it seems like they're doing exactly what you want.
Whenever I’ve parked in central london it’s been £50 for the day, the congestion charge is meaningless compared with the cost of petrol and parking.
No way, dude. We have a car parked in a garage, and we take the Lyft ebikes to go to GGP. It's faster from SOMA to take the bikes than the cars. Primarily because you can park at the other end really easily. Same with the Mission. If you add parking time, almost every SF location is better by Lyft ebike.

Have lived here over a decade, with car, motorcycle, bike, and ridden Muni+Bart. I'd never use the buses (way too slow) but ebikes are pure gold in the city.

I think you should reconsider your judgement on the EU ruling being good.

If you can’t argue the EU ruling is bad (and not because Apple is greedy or shortsighted etc), you are missing something.

Apple has a vision - the EU has a vision and they do not align.

The EU is poor. It has been mismanaging itself for years: they should be doing better than they are. Is this caused by outside vectors or the leadership, or maybe the structure (too many cooks in EU kitchen)?

Is the vision of the world the EU wants 15-25 years out strong?

Is the world the EU would create good for the EU - 30 years out? I’d argue it’d be a comfortable one. But a poor and weaker one.

I’m not trying to defend Apple. I’m trying to say that the EU leadership is likely bad - my hunch is anyone truly good would work in the state department of the respective nation.

Kinda like how UN ambassadors for the US are never our best - our best maybe might once in a blue moon take the post like a retirement phase.

People pay attention to explicit costs. Sometimes irrationally so. e.g. Sales of Tesla Model S cars were predicted to decrease with gas prices. Even though a $500/year swing in fuel cost does not meaningfully change total cost of ownership on a $70,000 car.

Just curious, how good is Jo Boaler at math? I guess she can do SAT, but can she go beyond that?

BTW, her central thesis that kids can learn math by doing exploratory group projects is insane. Besides, why would I waste time "rediscover" Euclidean geometry when I can learn its most modern form in a fraction of time?

What's more interesting is, it baffles me why people listen to Boaler in the first place instead of real mathematicians and math educators like Hung-Hsi Wu.

It doesn't have to be 100%, but nobody wants to invest a ton of time/energy into a project just to hit a wall a little ways down the road when something at the very core of it breaks or becomes unmaintained. Of course it would be nice for users of such projects to help and contribute, but this isn't always practical. Not because the users are being entitled assholes, but often times they aren't even the same skillsets, and I think this is especially true of some of this complicated, low-level UI stuff. If I'm a user of PyGObject writing GTK apps in Python, I'm not necessarily capable of contributing to the underlying C bindings, even if I wanted to be helpful.

This dynamic presents a legitimate problem for pretty much any open source project that aims to abstract away something very complex to enable more developers to use it. Any project that does this is going to have more developers relying on it than are capable of contributing to it.

You should never feel entitled to continued development of a project you don't contribute to, and you should always assess the community around tools you want to use in order to make good decisions. But this doesn't mean you can't be super frustrated if something you rely on goes dormant. I personally avoid using any library/package that doesn't appear to be very active, but nothing is foolproof. Even a seemingly healthy project die can fairly quickly in certain circumstances.
I'd say it's the opposite. I've never heard quicksort referred to as a O(n^2) algorithm for example, always as an O(n log n) algorithm with O(n^2) worst-case. Maybe in an interview you would explicitly say average-case, but I think that's more to show the interviewers that you realize that a single algorithm can have multiple big-Os.
I'd like it more if it was just the clock window, without all the surrounding stuff.

I think this is a bit like Ticketmaster trying to claw back some profit from scalpers. Every car commuter into the city needs a parking spot. Therefore parking garages benefit from the natural demand outstripping supply. And as driving demand rises further, garages can raise their rates (and they most definitely have.) $15 extra dollars per day to drive will reduce the demand, in turn lowering garage prices. Not saying they will drop by exactly $15 but the point is, an external party was able to benefit from the high demand, and now at least some of that goes to the city instead.

Lots of praise for this man. He was obviously very influential. His theory enabled the broad paternalistic state we are all suffering from today. Too many policy makers read his book and thought they could tax every person into "good" behavior. That's way beyond the scope of how governments should be involved.

Now that "soft paternalism" has been so successful, the same policymakers are pivoting into hard paternalism .

I learned a lot from Thinking Fast and Slow, but it's also a cynical book. In the same vein as Skinner's behavioralist view of people.

Principles must always come first.
Lots of the car injuries are to pedestrians and bikers, too, and while you're more in control of your risk profile, the risk profile remains significantly higher no matter how much you control it.

As for safety...

> In mid-2022, there was about one violent crime per one million rides on the subway, according to a New York Times analysis. Since then, the overall crime rate has fallen and ridership has increased, making the likelihood of being a victim of a violent crime even more remote. Last year, overall crime in the transit system fell nearly 3 percent compared with 2022 as the number of daily riders rose 14 percent.

The actual data shows the stations and trains are no more or less safe than any other public area. It's really just perception. [1] So I guess, don't ever go out in public?

> Maybe you don't care, but I'd prefer my little sister drive than take the train at night.

Let's stick to facts and leave the emotions to the side for a minute.

Less than 2% of major crime in NYC happens on the subway. [2] And crime rates on the subway specifically are falling.

Here's the MTA crime report for 2022. Remember to divide these by two billion. [3] Then compare to the odds of getting hit by a car, or while in a car.

But once you fact-check him a few times, then you won't be able to trust that his sources support his points anymore, which then raises the question: Is there ANY evidence that supports what Gladwell is trying to say?

If the best evidence that Gladwell could find to support his points, don't support his points, then it really makes me question the utility of trying to find evidence to support Gladwell's points.

It may be that, the reason why no subject matter expert makes the points that Gladwell does is because Gladwell's points are either wrong or not even wrong.
Shutting down life as we know it is not a realistic solution, no matter how much you whine about it. Everything except subsistence farming now requires fossil fuels. It is not strategically possible for everyone to go back to that without massive depopulation. If the elites really believed this was necessary to save the planet, they would murder most of the world's population. I can't say that isn't in the cards, but it isn't obviously happening. You should be glad that people with more information and power than us do not believe the worst-case scenario crap they push on the masses.

Don't Flatpak apps run in "containers" already? They're not exactly like Podman but are containerized nevertheless. This should probably work better for you.

I understand that Qubes targets a different threat model.
It should be trivial of you to provide examples of this, if you are so confident in your claims. You bring the point up, the onus is on you to at least provide an example of this claim.

Most people driving in are not poor - if you’re truly poor, you can’t afford the cost of car ownership at all, and if you’re in the lower income brackets you’re likely to take transit because it’s still a big chunk of your income – and the article notes that there are discounts for low-income drivers:

> As for discounts, low-income drivers who make less than $50,000 annually can apply to receive half off the daytime toll after their first 10 trips in a calendar month. In addition, low-income residents of the congestion zone who make less than $60,000 a year can apply for a state tax credit.
He didn’t leave because of black culture, he left because of crime. That crime could have been done by anybody.
Which works to the advantage of the city. They want to you stop to work your job (income tax), buy stuff (sales tax), participate on foot (low pollution). Not drive through (consumes tax dollars on roads, high pollution). In the long term if you move closer or change your commute mode they win too.
Another way you can phrase that is that the lion share of the tax will be on wealthy people, so it's a progressive tax.

I've seen conflicting studies - but in general I don't think poor people living around Manhattan have cars or are parking in Manhattan. Less than half of all people in NYC have cars.
I liked the demo! I have a couple of suggestions to make it a bit clearer -

A youtube video is likely better, your video had constant spam comments and downvotes cluttering the screen. Loom itself seems kind of junky.

If it takes a few minutes to generate the model, have something to say during this time. In youtube you could say 'skip forward to XX time' and overlay the timestamp, but I think showing real-time is _very impressive_ and useful for knowing how much effort I will need to expend.

I'd love to see an end-to-end example of 'here is some data about X or Y', 'I upload it and (after some time) here is my model files' followed by 'now I will use it to do ... something'. I have some example data I would like to try but I'm not really sure if it would work
It does until the ‘Federation’ splits into multiple competing blocs that auto-blocklist each other… Which typically happens within a few months.
> are there lots of people in NYC and surrounding area who must drive into the city for work and don't have convenient alternatives available?

Yes. Many poor people (think teachers, healthcare workers, services workers) have been priced out of living in areas that are commutable by MTA. You're looking at driving in or a 2-3 hour commute. People who think NYC's mass trans is 'the best in the U.S.' already live in Manhattan/close-in Brooklyn.

Don't get me wrong, it's great – if you're already paying $40k/year in rent anyway.
This is sadly another money grab by MTA. People somehow think this will help the public transportation. I would bet all my money on the opposite. Most likely nothing will improve. May be it will be spent on the pensions of many MTA workers who spend their days doing nothing.

As a big fan of the Dune books, and having just seen the second film, I found this to be quite interesting to hear from the author himself about his inspiration and how he thought about the story.
It should be easy to make it income related these days. Just have the transit authority submit a list of tolls passed to the tax authorities once a year and have the tax system work it out.

You see, in a proper early childrearing situation, you would be a) near your parents and inlaws ideally b) they would share in the burden of child-rearing.

We had kids later in life (33-ish) and I think if I were to do it again, I'd have moved quicker to having kids earlier (waited 2 years to marry and 3 years before having first kid).

More and more people are living closer to their parents - which opens up this possibility.
