it's not great, incidentally, that *both* China and America have lost a bunch of their key financial and regulatory talent in the last two years, albeit that the American damage is more wide-ranging and stupider.

In honor of the now-fired (seriously, what the fuck) Oriole Bird, please enjoy the greatest piece of Orioles-related art that will ever exist

4-panel cartoon of the Oriole Bird, mascot of the Baltimore Orioles

Panel 1: A weirdly humanoid bird wearing a baseball cap and holding a bat says "Hello. I'm the Baltimore Oriole!"

Panel 2: The Oriole hits a baseball, saying "I love to play baseball"

Panel 3: The Oriole is bending over, looking back over his shoulder toward the viewer, saying "All my bathroom stuff comes out of one hole. My cloaca"

Panel 4: A closer view of the Oriole who is looking straight at the viewer. The Oriole says "THEY SAID I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO
TALK ABOUT MY CLOACA BUT WHAT CAN THEY DO, KILL MY SON?
IT TURNS OUT HE WAS JUST A BEACH BALL PAINTED WHITE. NOT A
REAL EGG AT ALL! I TRULY AM THE LAST OF MY KIND!"

it is very cool (read: very not cool) that "What if the entire regional economy immediately exploded?" is a ballot measure in the bay area because we are in the 'touching the hot stove' era of american history. if you live in the bay area you should vote for the regional transit measure.

The ballot initiative would raise the sales tax rate by 0.5 percentage points in San Mateo, Santa Clara, Contra Costa and Alameda counties and by 1 percentage point in San Francisco, and is expected to generate roughly $980 million annually for the next 14 years to sustain bus, train, metro and ferry lines.

Many of the region’s transit agencies have already proposed contingency plans if the measure fails. BART said it would likely have to end service at 9 p.m. instead of at midnight, reduce train frequencies to 30 minutes and move from five-line to three-line service outside of peak commute hours. Caltrain has proposed eliminating weekend services, closing more than a third of stations and ending operations around 9 p.m. instead of 1 a.m. AC Transit is looking at reducing service by 16%, while Muni said it could eliminate up to 20 routes, cut service by at least 30% and end regular evening service.

The fiscal cliff facing transit agencies was triggered by the decline in ridership due to the pandemic and hit agencies heavily dependent on fare revenues, like BART, the hardest.

SPUR, a nonprofit policy think tank sponsoring the measure, released a report last month that found that if the measure and San Francisco’s Proposition H fail, traffic delays on the Bay Bridge could increase by 33 minutes heading west in the morning and 43 minutes heading east in the evening. Caldecott Tunnel traffic could see delays of an additional 20 minutes in the morning and 27 minutes during the evening commute. Congestion could also worsen along Interstate 580, Interstate 680 and U.S. 101, the report found.

Exactly this. And in fact, many models *have* been created this way, and decades of prior machine learning systems *were* created this way, consensually. These things are choices! People are STILL working this way! It’s not just that a better world is possible — it already EXISTS. We can nurture it.
