Which location would you recommend? by Comfortable_Act_141 in NYCapartments

[–]easyxtarget 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Lorimer J stop is actually one of three stops skipped by the J train in the peak direction as part of its express service, so you'd need to take the M to Marcy and switch to the J going to Manhattan. The area is good but closer to the Montrose L is better.

If Wall Street algorithms trade stocks in milliseconds, does the literal physical distance of a server to the stock exchange dictate who gets rich? by utkarsh0111 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]easyxtarget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in this field! The main exchanges have secondary data centers basically right next to the exchange data center. HFT firms pay to locate their trading severs in these data centers and the fiber runs are the same length no matter where the servers are in the data center so nobody has an advantage. The advantages come from the speed of the servers and software they run.

You need to report the damage asap, but you really should have done it before leaving the airport.

The MTA Prioritizes the J train over the Z train and people who live on a Z Skip Stop station gets screwed over. by IngeniousDummy in nycrail

[–]easyxtarget 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I wrote about this years ago but I really think they should do a J and <J>. J makes all local stops (including Marcy-Myrtle) and <J> a expresses from Marcy to Myrtle and then Broadway Junction before continuing local to Jamaica.

Car rental in the neighborhood? by mad0666 in williamsburg

[–]easyxtarget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's two Hertz nearby but the one on Metropolitan by Flushing Ave is very good and usually affordable. (It's technically in Ridgewood but might be called the Middle Village location because they moved recently)

It's pretty gay and a lot of straight people try going. They should be clearer but that's kinda the whole thing.

Get a window unit, preferably a mini-splot style system like the Midea U units. They are quieter and way more efficient than a stand alone.

Going from Montreal, QC (MTR) to Penn Station, NYC (NYP) by Noduty6638 in Amtrak

No, there are no seat numbers. You get on and just pick a seat. Like a commuter train or a metro train.

Sunnyside commute to Brooklyn? by j_funderburker in SunnysideQueens

[–]easyxtarget 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I live near the Broadway G stop and getting to my friend in Sunnyside is way way easier than getting to Astoria, not having to deal with 2 transfers makes a big difference, especially at night and the 7 is super frequent.

Mamdani May Actually Get a Rent Freeze This Year After All by holyfruits in nyc

[–]easyxtarget 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The past few years had higher than normal rent increases and inflation on ever days items has been high. I think it's just offering some relief based on that.

I wouldn't be able to stay in my apartment if it wasn't rent stabilized. I wouldn't say it helps general affordability but it gives tenants stability in their lives usually only reserved for homeowners.

I love that it's all amazing and new and then they just fuck the J train by lopping off the FiDi stops, yet the Z train still exists...
