This is a big company problem. When companies grow, they eschew the folks who helped build it from the ground up and are intimately familiar with the business, products and customers in favor of people who have "worked at big companies". But in most cases, they didn't actually build them. So all they have to offer is the "big company baggage" that they were exposed to previously.

You can imagine how it usually works out ... after a few years of zero or negative progress, they'll move on to somewhere else, claiming victory on their LinkedIn profiles. Meanwhile the employees who actually built the company continue to get passed over in favor of another round of impostors.

So actually, staying at the same company for a long time probably means you're trapped by a glass ceiling and not promoted very far as you'll "never have had the big company experience that we need". Meanwhile, the company starts to stagnate.

How much farther can you move the goalposts? We're already almost on another planet.

You ignored almost everything in my original comment and hyper-focused on accuracy. Then, when confronted with the fact that every single example benchmark you provided is a measure of accuracy, you now say "well, it's not a benchmark about a specific person in norway". Obviously not!

The MATH benchmark doesn't ask "what is 2+2", either. Your argument is "well, math-focused models aren't expected to accurately answer 2+2 because it isn't in the MATH benchmark". It's ridiculous.
Too late, top thread is (was?) already the deranged take that making it easier, more convenient, and safer to take the subway while improving both pedestrian and auto safety by reducing congestion penalizes the poor.
> I don't see anything narcissistic about being a normal human being with natural empathy for the people they work with.

I agree but that's not what I said. What I said was it's "unhelpful, or even narcissistic", for a manager to think that being empathetic as a manager is more emotionally taxing than an IC.

> Managing people does require emotional stability and self control, though.

It does. That's just being professional though. Being a good coworker in general requires emotional stability and self control. I'm not sure if you're trying to argue that a manager has to have much greater ability to do those than an IC since you seem to avoid saying that directly.

> ICs tend to automatically defer to their managers. Sometimes, this leads the ICs to misinterpret tiny reactions from their managers in completely unintended ways. I find that negative, emotionally charged reactions from managers are especially likely to lead to unintended reactions from their ICs.

Uh, the reverse sounds just about as true? I'm honestly not sure what the argument there is.

> As an IC you try to not bring your personal life ups and does to the job. This is even more important as a manager.

It's unclear from what you said why it's more important as a manager -- that's just what every professional should do at a workplace. Can you please elaborate?

Yes, but same logic can be applied to EVs.

Someone that that switches to EV today will pass that EV to a second owner down the line. The sooner the fleet starts switching to electric, the sooner the carbon emissions, primary energy needs, gas usage and particle emissions dive.

my experience is that people say it increased 2x times. You can say it increased by 100%.
The part that is narcissistic is believing your empathy is uniquely taking a toll on you.
Not my personal experience, but a team adjacent to me. Congrats on your smooth migration.
This is not surprising at all to the people who have looked at other cities that have implemented it. These were all expected outcomes, and I'm glad the expectations turned into reality.
One thing I'd like to add in is that to take public transit in NYC, you have to pay $2.90 a ride (with some exceptions). So for a commuter from the Bronx who works downtown, their daily fee is $5.80. A $9 a day fee to get into downtown with a car seems like a fair deal.
> you could also ask the uberwealthy to pony up instead

Then you don’t need monetary policy. Saying it cannot happen at the state or local level is basically admitting it isn’t solvent or requires a population filter to keep the wasteful people out.

But now you're dealing with probabilities, weighed against the certainty of the original EV purchaser emitting less.

Try this: if everyone in the US suddenly purchased EVs, and ditched their ICE cars, flooding the market with old ICE vehicles, would emissions decrease in the world or increase? I think it's pretty clear that the vast majority of the old ICE vehicles would be junked, and there'd be marginally more vehicle-miles-travelled, so the huge wins of everyone using EVs would counteract any increase in vehicle miles from suddenly having cheaper ICE available around the world.

So I would argue that the single person doing that action would have the general same trend as if everyone did it.
It was great when I was visiting China. I only tried it because Google Maps was unavailable (nothing Google worked at all except push notifications, because those come from Apple), and was pleasantly surprised. Every train station and mall had detailed maps.

Apple Maps is also pretty good here in Canada, although I would never trust it to tell me with any accuracy what a given business's hours are, or whether it even still exists. Google is much better at that.
It also ignores the fact that people driving in Manhattan are disproportionately among the richest people in NYC.

The fed does have the ability to control monetary policy.

This is akin to why some problems in the EU - individual countries gave up monetary policy rights, which means they have to do what Germany wants w.r.t. the euro. They can't control interest rates like the US Fed can, can't expand or contract money supply, and have fewer tools to deal with problems that arise.

Imagine if NYC couldn't build buildings over 1 story because of a state law. That would complicate adding new residents. It might work for awhile and they could get creative, but eventually it would become untenable.

This is not all to say that there aren't any problems with UBI specifically. We haven't really tested that level of socialism anywhere with still trying to also do free market and no planned economy.

It could well be that a lot of stuff wouldn't get done, or at least not done as much. There's a lot of shit jobs that are done for cheaper now because people gotta eat & put a roof over their head.

Unless you do a U"B"I solution which isn't actually covering the basics, but is lower than necessary.
A commercial dishwasher does not wash "3D debris" like a home dishwasher does, it's a reserve of boiling water and fairly caustic chemical cleaners that removes lipid films and sterilizes the surfaces, and it does this in a matter of minutes. From what I can tell basically every restaurant employs people to wash/rinse dishes prior to this final step, using a high pressure nozzle, bleach or quat rags, and a series of sinks. The people who end up employed in this role and who actually show up every day are frequently given a lot of leeway as far as eccentricities, history, and interpersonal problems (Nazi facial tattoos and a felony history? Can you start Tuesday?), because nobody else wants to do it.
I have personally watched very rich people spend 30 mins circling and looking for a meter spot in Manhattan, which saved them ~$15 at a cost of ~$50 worth of their time. (I was also in the car having my time wasted, so the true cost was higher.)

People are not good at making rational decisions when hit with nominal fees.
I mean in general introducing and ramping up fees for basic public services to get poor people to use them less, and getting thus better service for us better off. Imagine how nice e.g. libraries would be with loitering pricing.

I don't own, or plan to own, a car, but I still oppose congestion charges based on the marketization of basic public goods.
Generally speaking, employers aren’t even allowed to pay employee commuting expenses (other than via taxable wages) in America.

Right, because New York is not car-centric (bike lanes, very dense, few gas stations)

"Bit of a walk" is a nice way of saying it but in reality it means you are very limited with things like shopping. You're kind of stuck with the nearest walkable grocer. If you're luck enough to live by a cheap ones like Trader Joes, they are ridiculously crowded so you're paying in a different form. Or you can try your luck with Bodegas but they're often sell expired food, are overpriced and rarely have anything fresh . Then you're stuck with how much you can carry or try to use one of those granny pushers. Kids could be very difficult to wrangle as well and there are plenty of unpleasant things you have to explain to them or ignore. It's very dehumanizing

My point is that having a car is nice and I want people to have nice things. They don't belong everywhere, like NY. But overall I don't understand this push to public transportation for the sake of public transportation.

And then there's the third super-special category of shared data with no central server, and where only certain users should be allowed to perform certain operations. This comes up most often in p2p networks, censorship resistance etc.

In most cases, the easiest approach there is just "slap a blockchain on it", as a good and modern (think Ethereum, not Bitcoin) blockchain essentially "abstracts away" the decentralization and mostly acts like a centralized computer to higher layers.

That is certainly not the only viable approach, and I wish we looked at others more. For example, a decentralized DNS-like system, without an attached cryptocurrency, but with global consensus on what a given name points to, would be extremely useful. I'm not convinced that such a thing is possible, you need some way of preventing one bad actor from grabbing all the names, and monetary compensation seems like the easiest one, but we should be looking in this direction a lot more.
I wanted to offer that (if you are "C handy") writing your own shell is a super informative exercise. We had to write our own shell in my operating system class at GT and I actually got it working well enough that I could "exec ./myshell" and use it for some day to day stuff. I felt empowered

How many poor people do you think are driving into Manhattan frequently?

What about the poor people who live in Manhattan, who are negatively affected by increased pollution from increased traffic in their neighborhoods?

What about the poor people that will have better access to public transit, with the funding derived from the congestion zones?
In the realm of minor inconveniences, I'd rather get nearly kicked in the head by a subway dancer or deal with seeing a homeless person than get into a fender bender and have to deal with insurance, body work, etc.

I think you might be overcomplicating the problem in a way that actually makes it harder to solve, not easier. AI governance and optimizing business processes sounds cool and all, but we don’t need to "engineer" a way to address poverty. We already have a simple, effective, well researched solution...just give people money.

We need to be careful of this notion that social ills caused by prioritizing "growth" over people are intractable problems that require us to throw technology at them. It's often a convenient smokescreen from those that don't want the problems addressed at all. And we do their work for them if we play along.

I have heard that scientists estimate at something like 99.9% of all species that ever lived have ZERO evidence left in the fossil record.

While I think that a great many things can be learned by studying the relative few fossils discovered; making broad assumptions about ecosystems based on limited evidence seems like a bit of a stretch.

Actually the evidence is that a vast majority would not. For studies, look to the article's recommendation, GiveDirectly, which has worked with academics to study this question.
There’s actually a formal term for this—it's called a day-fine system. Switzerland uses it, and fines are calculated based on the offender's daily income, with the number of days determined by the severity of the crime. It ensures penalties are proportional to income, making fines meaningful across all income levels.
This specific example, https://jsfiddle.net, is not a monopoly and has many suitable replacements (e.g. https://livecodes.io/, https://liveweave.com). While in some cases (like YouTube vs alternatives) there are clear advantages to the former, in this case I don't even think that holds (I imagine most people only use JsFiddle to interactively build client-side webpages then share them via a link).

That people pay for JsFiddle (although do they? Maybe this is another "unprofitable" company) is a testament to...the fact that humans are not rational actors. Even in a "perfect" (competitive and easy to enter) market, a brand's quality can tank and they'll continue to get sales, despite objectively superior alternatives, simply because of brand recognition.

I doubt regulation can solve this. Try to imagine a ban on "enshittification". How do you measure it? How do you enforce it? How much does it cost to measure and enforce it? What if a company has "enshittify" because they're losing money? What if that company deliberately entered the market losing money, to gain brand recognition so they could recoup via "enshittification" later? What about small would-be companies that decide not to enter the market because this regulation is too complex and potential consequences (they think may someday apply to them because it's so complex) are too severe?

Instead, I believe the best solution is to try to be a smarter consumer yourself, and convince others to if possible; and if you can, start a company where you deliberately try to maintain quality even though it will sometimes directly contradict increasing profit (because humans aren't rational actors, enshittification won't lose you too many customers; and yet, there are companies that seem to avoid it and still make $millions+).
> the prevalence of such attitudes is a fundamental aspect of human nature that we have to reckon with

If a proposal requires changing human nature, it’s safe to dismiss. I’m saying that your argument for why UBI is dismissed is itself an argument for dismissing it.

The _really_ rich don't even drive themselves. It really doesn't effect them that much.

A tax doesn't have to hit just the poorest people to effect the poor. This probably hits middle-upper middle the hardest, and anyone taking a hired car (like a cab) as well* (There's a chance that sort of fee is elsewhere, like the medallion registration).

The correct place to levy the fee is on demand sources that draw people into the area at given times. Reduced fees should be offered to business that schedule shifts earlier or later to avoid the congestion windows.

No need to bring WWI into it. Back in the 1980s we visited Canada on a family road trip. My Dad showed his license. That was it.

In 1991 I drove from Buffalo to Detroit along the QEW in Canada. Only had a license.

In 1993 I walked from El Paso into Mexico, then walked back. All I had with me was my license. Didn't need to show any id to enter Mexico.

That's all after the decline of robust social benefits which the US had in the 1950s-1970s.

Are there any intra-city trains that have fare classes? Inter-city trains sell plenty of first-class tickets for the same value proposition, but I've never seen it on public transit (although I've only ever seen transit in North America and Europe).
Can't find the article now, but before the cameras turned on in NYC I saw a prediction based on congestion pricing elsewhere that:

1. Even the reduced $9 toll would have a larger-than-anticipated impact

2. Increasing the toll to $15 would have a smaller-than-anticipated impact

i.e. the presence or absence of a toll matters more than the dollar amount (obviously to a limit)

We'll see about #2 when it increases to $12 in 2028 but #1 seems spot on!
