The correct solution here is road engineering so that the natural speed of the road is slower, rather than artificially slowing down traffic via a posted limit. This can be done by adding curves or thinning the road
I saw a lot of that while doing phone screens: People who were getting coached via earbuds, people who were frantically searching Google for answers, etc.
The 100% virtual hiring process means that it is much easier to sub out your interview as there’s no point in the process where you show up for an on-site, present your government issued ID, and then interview.
I don’t remember ever showing my id in onsites. In some of those big places one could def skate by having someone else interview and then show up on first day and nobody would notice. Ime id doesn’t come up until hr wants work authorization on your first day
Yeah, I worked for a large employer who complained about this happening when people were onsite all day. Different people interviewed and showed up for work.
This is nothing new, it's just a media blitz by status quo lovers.
NYC’s medallions did have a primary purpose; to control traffic.
Manhattan is tiny and taxis represent an outsize amount of traffic since they don’t park most of the day like a commuter car. Uber’s proliferation was associated with a general decline in traffic speeds.
But increasing throughput. Given how shitty US public transport is in general, maybe that's the right tradeoff. New York is one of the best, but still shitty by EU standards.
> New York is one of the best, but still shitty by EU standards.
If we're talking about concrete things like throughput, the MTA is one of only a few systems with round-the-clock operation, and I don't think anywhere else matches its scale and reach.
The filth of the stations are a legitimate complaint...but given that my primary interest is my transit system moving me from place to place, I'd take it over the majority of EU systems in a heartbeat.
I just recently visited NYC for a week after a few years away. Got in mid-week and was taking the subway around during the day, and thought wow it's really made huge improvements in reliability recently. Trains were all coming quickly and all lines were running. Then the weekend came around and half the lines were being re-routed and waits were much longer with lots of announced delays.
The city does a good job, especially by US standards, of making public transit a reliable, affordable way for people to go to and from work. But as far as getting around in day to day life outside of rush hour it is much worse and there's still a big need for Taxis or Uber. And I think with the increase in remote work recently this is more of an issue now than ever.
I do have to say I'm impressed by the Apple pay/NFC payment rollout though. No more flimsy Metrocards to worry about swiping and refilling is a nice improvement.

Skip the text and look at figure 1, 2, 3, 4.
The left column is the experimental data. The center column is the same image using a simulation. The right column is the same simulation showing the flow with arrows instead of shadows of red/blue.
Figure 1 is made with gold. It's the normal behavior. When the electrons go up in the central "tube", they also go up in the "ears". Red means to the right and blue to the left.
Figure 2 is made with a very very very pure superconductor. It's the strange new behaviors. When the electrons go up in the central "tube", they spin in the "ears". Note that the position of the red and blue parts are reversed. They only measured the red/blue values, and later fit the arrows in the simulation.
The best you would get is a diagram. In physics "observed" does not necessarily mean, in fact usually does not mean, seen in the sense of looking at the effect visually.
While "see" seems like the obvious default sensory analogy to use for "detect" with a SQUID, now that I think about it, maybe it's more a synaesthestic blend of seeing, feeling and hearing.
Pennsylvania seems to have started pushing towards that in the middle of last year:
"On Aug. 5, the Superior Court of Pennsylvania held for the first time that Pennsylvania's Medical Marijuana Act (MMA) allows an employee to sue his or her employer for taking an adverse employment action based on the employee's status as a certified user of medical marijuana."[1]
