@jasonc_nc @LinkofSunshine not necessarily, different cities have different commuting flows therefore it's incorrect to compare cities by average (geographic) commute time than by average (commuters) commuting time

@LinkofSunshine So you’re saying the most common use case in a dense city is more like around your general neighborhood vs choosing to visit the furthest point away from you each day?

It's a cool paper, but the assumption that people are equally likely to start and end at any given point makes this kind of useless imo? It just rewards smaller cities like Paris, most trips in NYC are midtown to midtown instead of random people going to Staten Island

Very interesting new study finding that *even in large European cities*, in most places it is easier to access opportunities by car than by public transport arxiv.org/pdf/2604.01019 The exceptions are Paris, Zurich and the innermost parts of Milan and Barcelona

@StefanFrancisci a lower population isn't the problem, a declining population drains government finances, though. a rising population means that future generations can more easily fund today's expenditures

@jacopogiliberto il 95% della plastica in mare viene da paesi orientali e arriva qui dopo anni di viaggio, l'altro 5% arriva da piene dei fiumi che puliscono sponde e da distrazioni umane, in compenso però il meccanismo di aggancio ha aumentato del 10% la plastica usata nei tappi, l'UE è geniale!

farò incazzare molti ma, dopo quasi due anni e fatta l'abitudine, sì, il tappo europeo attaccato al collo della bottiglia è meglio.

@Piedo69 @AZinCLE the biggest issue Florence has is crossing the center, it's peripheral transit and bike access is quite decent. colle strade e folle che ci sono in centro bici sono scomodissime

@The_Davos_Man ice cream, plentiful housing and a yimby attitude, anti-communism, arts and infrastructure (though their impact was probably a net negative on both they still left behind lots)

@ShumBaloo @SantiPerales76 @mannieigwe "Low Grade" c'mon, pompeu fabra, bocconi, Insead are all better economics schools than Warwick and better business schools than LBS . so no, British students arent just sunbathing, but are actually getting a world class education better than what they could've gotten at home

So, Britain would have to pay the EU £570m next year, followed by £840m in future years for the privilege of joining this scheme. The Turing scheme is more targeted, cheaper (£110m per year), has broader global reach and only funds British talent. Tell me something Erasmus+ offers British students that Turing doesn't.

@Firetruck_125 @ChimeraX2021 "wasting taxpayer money" and "moneymaking ploy [for the government]" in the same sentence and you genuinely don't understand why you're wrong

@ChimeraX2021 I find reducing a speed limit by only 10mph on a rural road, then wasting taxpayer money on installing overly invasive surveillance equipment to enforce it as a moneymaking ploy objectionable. At no point did I say I wanted to break the law

@giulio_mattioli @GenevaInvestor but why is it 8hr 45 for rome - Paris? Turin to Rome is 4hr rn and hopefully will go down if we finally allow higher speeds, Turin to Paris will be 3 hours once the HSR is complete

I often punch left. I am, on fiscal matters, rather conservative — although I like welfare for the poor, I’d like to cut it for seniors and veterans. But for all that, I *hate* the modern conservative movement. I want it extirpated from the earth.
