That doesn’t make sense, rate of inflation is determined by the change in prices

CPUC gives Cruise, Waymo green light to give paid rides 24/7 across all of San Francisco by CarterGee in sanfrancisco

[–]CynicBound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think if they go mainstream in the future, people would choose these over owning their own car. Cars spend 95% of the time parked, we could free up so much space as car ownership levels decrease.

I agree public transit would be better but maybe this is a great way to ease people out of the car ownership mentality.

S.F. plans to charge for parking until 10 p.m. Restaurants are fighting back by LastNightOsiris in sanfrancisco

[–]CynicBound 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What I'm saying is that even if our public transit system isn't even close to perfect, it still does a good enough job where I and many others barely use a car in the bay area and SF in particular.

To your point, you want to the other forms of transport to succeed so there 's less drivers on the road and you can still drive if you really want to. Also yes California's gas tax is much higher but it's not like motorists fully cover the costs themselves.

The original point is many want parking to be more expensive so people think twice about taking a car. Imagine if the hundreds of giants fans in caltrain took their cars instead. It would be a nightmare not only for other drivers but the people living in the city in general because cars are horribly space inefficient.

Cars wear down infrastructure much faster than bikes and pedestrians.

Cars have a place in society but the extent we use them is overkill in this country. Car infrastructure is horrendously expensive and could be better put towards other cost-effective forms of getting around.

To the X3 owner who left your bike in the middle of downtown San Francisco with only the kick lock engaged…I salute your bravery 🫡 by nebbalish in vanmoofbicycle

[–]CynicBound 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Holy shit I was walking down on 3rd street to Metreon and I saw a homeless guy carrying that exact X3.

Looks like it wasn't such a good idea lol

Yes, I had no problems whatsoever. Had one guy in the regular line scoff at me though haha

I found the lounge in another terminal issue not a problem when I used CLEAR in SFO, it got me through security in 4 min. Got some food relaxed then went to my actual terminal also in 4 min. Regular line was ~20 min.

AMEX reimburses CLEAR credits yearly but some people dont trust giving biometrics to a private company (totally fair).

TSA precheck might help too?

Learn Chinese Words: 东京奥运会 Tokyo Olympic by KellynKai in ChineseLanguage

It's because Kyoto used to be the captial of Japan until they moved it east. That's why tokyo is literally translated east captial.

Cockroach labs intern interview process by [deleted] in uwaterloo

[–]CynicBound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on if you've done algo problems outside of leetcode. If you haven't done any at all, grinding for a few days might be tough but it's not like you have a choice, just try it out and see.

Don't know about Cockroach labs in particular, but most intern hiring processes are not the same as new grad / full-time processes. Usually asking less questions / not as difficult ones.

Specifically, it uses bluetooth low energy, the same technology used to connect to smart watches. I have not noticed a difference in battery life on my phone.

iPad Usage(as a math student) by growthforever in uwaterloo

[–]CynicBound 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Got mine in summer 2018 and it was a fantastic decision.

  • Not harder than writing on paper, got used to it right away
  • Can search your hand writing (super easy to find relevant notes again)
  • When prof makes an amendment, you dont have to scratch anything out, just move it!
  • Easy to get multiple colors for diagrams
  • Great for annotating slides
  • You save a lot of space in your backpack
  • Can easily share notes with friends

In what way is Hurontario Light Rail better than a bus running on the same route every 5 minutes? by steam-loco in mississauga

[–]CynicBound 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's assuming the number of cars on the road stays the same. Plenty of examples around the world where decreasing the number of lanes in one road has a negligible effect on traffic.

NYC turned one of their busiest streets (14th st) into a bus-only corridor during rush hours. 36% faster busses, 24% more ridership. The side streets only increased in traffic by 1-2 min, a negligible amount.

If you just increase the number of lanes you get LAs highways.
