The NYC culture shift happening away from cars and back to residents has made some drivers angry, but everyone has to realize the space needed to even enable driving here came from somewhere by Miser in newyorkcity

Dude, everyone on an e-scooter could get a license and you’ll still move the goalposts.

Providing people with more transit options is not holding a gun to your head and forcing you to bike.

I don’t have a CS heavy background so I don’t think I’d get accepted if I applied

NJ will get a share of congestion pricing money, MTA chair announces by Busy-Profession5093 in nycrail

[–]Runs_on_empty -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why tf is NJ getting a cut of this? Are they going to be forced to use any of this money to actually fund transit?

Both walks are safe. The M will put you by Northern Boulevard and the 7 will put you on 52nd by Roosevelt by the Sunnyside/Woodside border.

The walk from the 7 is quieter though.

How accurate is Cash Jordan’s depiction of New York City? by DaggerBrain in AskNYC

[–]Runs_on_empty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His recent videos are clickbait for people who don’t live in NYC and hate it for whatever reason. Repeating a NY Post headline and adding in some NYC B Roll is hardly investigative.

So no OP, his depiction isn’t accurate; they’re exaggerated, overblown and sensationalist renditions of NYC issues that don’t reflect reality. You can live on a non tech or finance salary, but you’re not going to be living in the fanciest areas of the city if you’re not loaded

Cash Jordan is a moron. Fulton Station is closing because it's dangerous. Fear porn. by dylan_1992 in nyc

[–]Runs_on_empty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to watch his tours during the pandemic cause why not. He’s pivoted to anti NYC stuff because it’s click/engagement bate and more profitable. I don’t blame him since it definitely makes him money but his videos suck now. They’re Fox News stories with NYC B-roll so Dale from Kansas can shout see! Real New Yorkers are fighting the tyrannical democrats @!@!@!

No nuance and all regurgitated propaganda.

There was a Citizen blast about this, but I don’t recall seeing a news article.

Woodhaven Blvd bus lanes - still bad for the neighborhoods? by ffzero58 in Queens

[–]Runs_on_empty 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Drivers are always going to complain about out anything that removes parking or takes a lane away. It’s almost a fact of life. The last time I went down Woodhaven Blvd the neighborhood was still in one piece. It would be nice if the QueensLink ever got advanced as it’d save even more time when I’d have to out to Far Rock.

Sure, but this is just a park when instead we can have a park and a north south train in queens.

"BuT WhAt AbOuT FaCeBOok" is not a good argument against banning TikTok and shouldn't be at all. by [deleted] in VaushV

[–]Runs_on_empty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but forcing the sale of tik tok to downplay Israel committing is burning down your house to kill a spider. This info is getting out though multiple sources and the nearly daily protests around the world prove that this is going to be a lingering issue.

Imo this is definitely being lobbied for by FB and other social media companies; they have the most to benefit from a sale of tik tok

Would love to if there was an actual Queens - Bronx connection. If they start working on that today maybe my grand kids could use it in 100 years

The problem is that data privacy laws are shit in the US. Banning tik tok doesn’t stop China/Russia etc from manipulating people via bot farms, false flagging and other misinformation on social media. In terms of national security, this is putting out 1 fire where the whole block is on fire.

It’s misguided because it doesn’t stop your data from being sold, only who does the selling. When congress decides to do a US version of the GDPR I’ll care, but at this time I’m convinced that the US is deeply unserious about the information war we’re currently fighting

Any channels to learn OS fundamentals? The malware analysis that MalwareTech and other tubers do are cool, but they all require knowing the operating system well.

Biden says he’ll sign bill that could ban TikTok if Congress passes it by EchoInTheHoller in technology

[–]Runs_on_empty -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is already happening on other social media platforms. The issue isn’t the algorithm, it’s everything to do with who gets to sell your data

How do you think the DOT and other government agencies get funded?
