@cammsyn it’s the right thing to do, cost-wise, and people massively blow up the speed penalty which will probably be near zero
wow it seems like they really are going to go all-in on Stadler Flirts. Total Alon Levy victory
Self Driving Cars Not Yet Cheaper,,,
“The future is Waymo,” they said. “Uber can’t compete on price,” they said.
@rpmm24 hurts, of course, that most subway systems close way too early Last train should be like 15 minutes after the latest-open bars close (especially since WMATA now does total shutdowns for maintenance anyways they have no excuses)
Is everyone mad about the cost of living because they’re using four (4) Ubers in a single night
me at 12:47am in uber number three on the way to bar number seven after agreeing to meet my buddy for “one drink” after work
Yeah so I'm going to be honest LA Metro is not *super* useful because LA is so large but at 2 hours to go 40 miles the train is actually faster for this trip
Nice! Only a 2 hour 39 mile drive home to start the weekend

@amazonmilkfrog @Chicago2100 That seems very in keeping with the stop spacing on the Kennedy section?
@Chicago2100 Getting fully up to speed on the airport people mover situation requires like a thousand pages of federal regulation reading. It's a really strange situation Or you could like ask claude or something. But airport authorities are structurally very different from transit agencies.
Woah

@AZinCLE a few of my teenage years in the northeast were spent in the suburbs and without a hint of irony i’d say there are several days per year where tons of people would opt for the thousand dollars

@Aden_Yacobi wow lmfao uh whoops? Okay yeah back to previous position, it's a small fraction of a human, maybe 0.1 instead of 0.3 per year at the 15% market share level but I was at least in the right OOM
@Aden_Yacobi is this number normalized?
@LeahLibresco @mattyglesias How would you measure the generalized propensity for people to do this only if more expensive AVs are available but who would refuse to do this using a cheaper Uber?
@foronionfutures @CNLiberalism @mean_field_zane alas I live in Washington DC,
University of Chicago Students to Protest at Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Demand End to Federal Ban on Onion Futures Student-led group For Our Futures will rally Monday morning to call for repeal of the 1958 Onion Futures Act On Monday, October 19, at 8:30 a.m., members of For Our Futures, a student-led organization from @UChicago, will gather outside the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (@CMEGroup) headquarters to demand the repeal of the Onion Futures Act of 1958, a nearly 70-year-old federal law prohibiting futures trading in onions. The Onion Futures Act, enacted following allegations of market manipulation in the 1950s, singled out onions for a prohibition on futures contracts that remains in effect today. For Our Futures is calling on Congress to repeal the ban and restore the ability of onion growers, buyers, and traders to participate in a regulated futures market. Onions remain the only commodity banned from futures trading in the United States. The protest will feature a giant inflatable onion costume, protest signs, and dozens of students, and will take place outside the headquarters of CME Group, one of the world's largest derivatives marketplaces and the historic center of American onion futures trading.
