  • As a cyclist in NYC the complaint that bikes are weaving through cars is hilarious.

    Of course they are. Cars are almost always stuck in traffic while bikes move faster.

    I can make my 12ish mile commute in 45 minutes. Until the bridge I spend every mile of that commute passing cars.

    That’s all besides the point though: there shouldn’t be personal passenger vehicles in NYC. Business vehicles sure. A few taxis are personal vehicles because of Uber - sure. But there should be 0 street parking and heavy restrictions on where drivers are allowed to go. We need to take back our streets.


  • Not terribly surprised. When I tried the app out I didn’t really get the appeal. It was like adding a comments section to existing news feeds and didn’t provide enough tailoring or algorithmic understanding of reading habits to be a compelling offering.

    Besides the fact that they were using a chrome embedded browser, meaning I couldn’t even ad block on the sites I visited: which made the reading experience nearly impossible.
