@JD_Quinteror @SectorMovilidad @ClaudiaDiazAco1 Hola Juan David! Soy fundador de la empresa que las fábrica y financia.
Cualquier cosa, estamos a la disposición de trabajar por Bogotá y sus habitantes

Se puede! Gracias a los debates, a las quejas ciudadanas y a control de @SectorMovilidad @ClaudiaDiazAco1 libremente los rappitenderos están migrando a bicicletas eléctricas en lugar de motonetas contaminantes y peligrosas. Vale la pena batallar por Bogotá!

Youtube thinks I'm a short king who wants high-heels so I'll be noticed at the club

If I arranged factory tours of BYD in Shenzhen in 2025 (both auto and consumer electronics), would anyone in the U.S. Tech community want to join?

Ain't got no time for this [factually wrong] pessimism. Busy building a future of optimism.

What's hip in data visualization these days? I checked out after D3.

Big agree. Policy was articulated clearly but most people haven't seen the consequences common in Argentina (for example)
You think airports are fun now? Just imagine when people are coming into the US with iPhones sewn into their trenchcoats.

Having lived in Brazil, I find the debate over tariffs in my own country fascinating. “We want to protect American manufacturing jobs and bring factories back home.” OK, noble goal. But do you want to pay $90,000 for a full-size truck? $2,000 for an iPhone? There are tradeoffs

It is a shame that these are not being built locally.
Manufacturing is way more collaborative than people realize. Building locally means more tools and more talent. That makes it easier and cheaper for other manufacturers to build quality.

Twitter keeps pushing me back to the "for you" tab and aiming pro Trump content at me. Am I the only one?

Are there any apps that help you find and curate third spaces in prominent cities like NYC?
There are many days where I just want to break the monotony of daily environments but struggle to find spaces/events which are A+. It’s often just stumbling upon ones on Instagram or X.

It's happening. Client density is high enough and we're launching battery swapping at last.

@PattyLaya @WSJForero @business Loved the article! Would have liked it even more if we could have connected you with one of our clients in the area of the 93 who've switched to ebikes :) The days of ciclomotores are numbered

This Bloomberg story is so well done, drilling down deep to tell the story of Colombia's $5 billion Rappi delivery app and just how the company delivers stuff across a metropolis in 10 minutes. An IPO is in the works. bloomberg.com/news/features/… via @business

@sobradob Good on ya, man! Takes me back to when my profile pic was taken -- about halfway through one :)

@oswaldoaves @SectorMovilidad Cada vez que me toca transitar la 68 en bici pienso lo mismo.

@SectorMovilidad Sería chevere verlos en el 7 de agostos s los agentes de tránsito… ah cierto, no les gusta visitar este sitio

¡Las normas son para todos! 👊🏼
En la carrera quinta con calle 33 estos vehículos estaban parqueados sobre el andén 😡 ¡Un irrespeto al espacio público y a la seguridad de los peatones!
Nuestros Agentes Civiles de Tránsito llegaron al punto por aviso de la ciudadanía y realizaron el operativo de control que sancionó con comparendo a los conductores por estacionar en un lugar prohibido.
¡Todos aportamos a que Bogotá se mueva segura #BogotáMiCiudadMiCasa!

@FreeWillLe Astronaut meme: wait so the "public goods" are outside of the casino? / Always have been

Say this louder for the people in the back. For crypto to be valuable, you have to create value outside crypto
vitalik.eth@VitalikButerin
> the yield comes from borrowers, trading fees, etc Right, so this worries me. Because it feels like an ouroboros: the value of crypto tokens is that you can use them to earn yield which is paid for by... people trading crypto tokens. Even if the answer is something clear like eg. people getting 8% APR on USD are paid by people paying 8% APR to leverage ETH at 2x, it still means that the ongoing existence of the defi market is downstream of the existence of the ETH market, which means that while defi may be great it's fundamentally capped and can't be _the_ thing that brings crypto to another 10-100x adoption burst. Hence why I would love to see a story for where the yield is coming from, or could come from, that's rooted in something external. I have heard plausible candidates! eg. that there's fundamental structural reasons why crypto is durably more efficient at doing international currency trade. I would love to hear more though.

@MikeIsaac Mate, I don't even live in the country and I beat you to it by like two years. What have you been subsisting on?

just had my first "downtown office worker salad" maybe since pre-lockdown era
feeling a combination of wistful and crippling defeat

The angry commenters clearly don't have any family members who have been firefighters and dealt with the consequences of speeding first hand.
I don't know one who wouldn't take a dozen burning buildings over a motor vehicle call.
Sarah@Henryz_mom
People in the US routinely drive over the speed limit. They also view people who honor speed limits or drive slightly below as incompetent or a problem. Speed kills
