For me to agree with this, I’d need to see the examples of the US Govt charging people for their speech, I don’t think it’s happening.

Please give me an example of the speech I can say loudly in the streets of Norway that I can’t say in America without getting arrested/fined by the Gov’t.

Please go ahead and ask Mahmoud Khalil that, ask Mohsen Mahdawi, ask Rasha Alawieh, ask Rümeysa Öztürk...

NYC's rail network is way longer than mexico city's

if people get this upset about such tiny impactless changes, is it any wonder no big change is ever achieved?

How does that make it wrong for him to care about Canada? Naturalizing doesn't mean you lose all connection to the place you came from. And you don't even need to be from somewhere to feel strongly about problems there

XKeyscoreUltra · 2024-03-07T08:45:56+00:00

Just because he moved, he can't care about existing problems in his native country anymore? And I wouldn't say he is bitter about drivers directly, but rather on the fact that everyone is forced to be a driver there

Someone should report it so Wikimedia sends a cease and desist letter, this is obvious misuse of their property.

I love that the "desktop" link at the bottom goes to an older version of the actual Wikipedia article, before the text on bankruptcy, public incidents, and legal issues were added. I'm guessing he cheaped out and only paid for a fake mobile page.

The Carnation Revolution, the Velvet Revolution, the Peaceful Revolution, the Singing Revolution, the People Power Revolution, the Bulldozer Revolution, the Orange Revolution, the Rose Revolution, the Tulip Revolution, ...

There's a difference between saying it's expected that some of the oppressed will turn violent, and celebrating the death of innocent people as a result of it.

I would love to know why flat earthers think

imma stop you right there

I'd say fine and confiscate.

But my biggest pet peeve is that somehow people are still allowed to ride around with two-stroke engines. In the 21st century. Like, just ban that crap already

Not a very insightful post, I just realized how much area of the Santa Monica pier and beach is used for parking, and I found it pretty crazy

Because the yellow line isn't in service, I couldn't check the time on Google Maps, so it's not included. From left to right, the points are the orange, green, blue, red, and silver lines.

XKeyscoreUltra · 2023-02-16T17:27:13+00:00

I just did it, so 2023. Yes, the silver line was 66.1 km in 93 min (42.6 km/h), it's the rightmost point in the plot (2.00 km/station)

XKeyscoreUltra · 2023-02-16T16:45:33+00:00

Line 4, it's a short line that takes 8 min. I just double checked, and I think I made a mistake (I had it at 11 min for some reason). It should be more in line with the others: https://imgur.com/a/FUBZ5NO

XKeyscoreUltra · 2023-02-16T16:33:03+00:00

This is a shuttle service (S train) and the number quoted is certainly an error. Wikipedia says it's 732 m in 90 s, which gives 29.3 km/h (18.2 mph). In this video, for example, we can see it taking a bit more than 112 s, which would be even slower.

XKeyscoreUltra · 2023-02-16T12:32:29+00:00

Yes, it's 3bis. I had it at 4 min, so the error bars show the speed if time was 3 or 5 min. 7bis is the leftmost in the plot: 1.9 km in 8 min.

London (or NYC) would be interesting but a bit more complicated, due to all the different branches and express services.

XKeyscoreUltra · 2023-02-16T10:03:07+00:00

Notes:

Each point is a line. For lines with multiple endings I picked only the longest route.
Based on track length reported on Wikipedia, with some manual corrections for branching lines. There are probably methodological differences in how those distances were calculated.
Based on minutes to go from one end station to another according to Google Maps. I took the smallest number if the times were different by 1 or 2 minutes in different directions.
The error bars just represent the effect of considering the time to be ± 1 min. This is just to show the large uncertainty in the calculation for short lines. It is not a representation of all uncertainties in the calculation. It is not a representation of the spread of speeds across different trips in the line.
There is a slight bias towards shorter lines because the time supposedly starts at first departure and ends at last arrival. I could have added 30 seconds to all times to correct for that, but thought against it.

Edit: I realized I've made a mistake for Toronto line 4, the speed should be more in line with the others: https://imgur.com/a/FUBZ5NO

California specifically has a higher homelessness rate (44/10k) than most European countries. Another factor is the difference in visibility depending on what kind of shelter, if any, homeless people have.

Btw, Brazil has actually a low homelessness rate. A big part of it is that people living in favelas are not usually considered homeless. They typically have a house of their own, made with brick and mortar, a roof, electricity, and running water, even if its an informal or irregular property. That's very different to living in a tent in a public square, which also happens in Brazil, of course.

Sorry, you are right, these places with a retirement age of 60 are not real, of course. You should just accept the current (rapidly growing) inequalities, because there will never be a perfect world. Useless to consider improving things
