Particularly alarming is the way that a distribution that was previously roughly gaussian has developed a fat right-hand tail.

A big problem with the AI forecasting discourse is that people ask “when will AI replace X job?” When in reality, AI will slowly replace a bunch of the sub-skills needed to do the job, but rarely all of them.

Keep in mind that the price of diesel will put many truck drivers out business. Less trucks will delay delivery and increase pressure on goods. The cost of everything will increase. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Drivers complain if you take traffic lanes away for transit or cycling, they’ll complain if you make the side streets safer for pedestrians and cyclists. You can’t win with the carbrained.

Two extraordinary charts from today’s PISA test results: 1) School test scores continue to collapse internationally, underscoring how this is no longer a Covid effect but sustained decline. Those falls in reading and maths are equivalent to about two years of lost schooling.

This is why I think the Bike Bus movement is one of the most subversive and joyful advocacy tools in safe streets, mobility, climate and a lot of other areas. People can't help but smile when they see kids roll by and it often provokes them into thinking differently about their own kids and lives.

We can keep saying we’ll just take the lane now, but that misses the point. Bike lanes aren’t just for people who are comfortable mixing with traffic. The Bloor St bike lanes allowed my kid to ride to and from school for grades 7 & 8. #BikeTO #ONPoli

Lots of face kicking. The bike lanes won't be replaced with a car lane - they'll become parking. That "side street route" (that doesn't exist) will require the removal of on-street parking & traffic calming to slow down motor vehicle traffic. The entire province is paying for it, not Toronto.

A way to mess up Ford is to just make all the new car lanes permanent parking. So there's not actually any new driving lanes. Also means they'll be easy to convert back once he's gone.

The idea that everyone owns their own means of transportation is a very new one. Many think that before cars, everyone owned a horse. That’s not true. At the turn of the 20th century, most cities only had one horse for every 20 people so. Many of those horses pulled public streetcars.

In this 23-second video, this bus passes ten cars, which is about 10-15 individual people. There’s more than that just waiting at the bus stop. If you put everyone in this bus into their own car lane, the line of cars would stretch over half a kilometer (about 1/3 of a mile).

One thing about speed cameras: they're mainly a tax on people who DON'T live in your city (and also they boost safety *mostly for residents* by changing those people's behavior). Kind of a win-win-win for local government.

Since everyone’s arguing about speed cameras, let’s keep a couple facts in mind: 1) Research show that camera enforcement is much more popular than the media implies – in suburbs as well as cities. Lesson: Don’t conflate a few angry car owners with “public opinion.” (cont'd)

bloomberg.com

Automated Traffic Enforcement Is More Popular Than You Think

Cameras that ticket drivers who run red lights and speed are effective and widely popular with city residents. So why are they banned in so many places?

Hey #BikeTO I will 100% the lane when the bike lanes come out, but we need to remember iit’s a practice that assumes privilege. I love bike lanes but I don’t need them as much as the kid who can’t bike to school anymore because it’s no longer safe, or the adult who just gave up learning to ride.

I'm not the first person to say this, but the bike industry in the U.S. is really missing a huge opportunity by not aggressively defending and promoting e-bikes. I think this is largely the result of it being an industry built on recreational cycling and not transit riding.

I love bike share. What an amazing idea. You take a bike wherever and whenever you want. And leave it wherever you want. It’s not the fastest or most fitted bike to you. But it’s incredible flexibility. Bike to transit and not worry about theft. Go for a run and bike back. See rain, take a bike.

So tired of having to sign a petition or go to a rally every six months just to keep a single bike lane from getting turned back into on-street parking spots because people from the suburbs want to drive right above a subway line across the city.

Something I'll never understand - if I want to make substantial enough changes to my house, it has to go through a neighbourhood consultation process, but someone on my block can buy a vehicle that significantly increases the chances one of my kids gets run over.
