Pie charts have one valid purpose, in my view: showing how insignificant a part of something is relative to the whole.

So you’re comparing the total visitors in January to those counted in other months, and perhaps observing which months have the most visitor traffic.

Thanks for the info. I hope you told PG&E not to kill people, if we’re all giving each other advice :-)

You’d just need to tell the car, "make sure I'm charged up by 7AM tomorrow" and it would optimize charging for grid reliability and your own cost.

It’s the difference between “TO limit power use between 4 and 9 PM” and “limit power use TO between 4 and 9 PM.” Easy mistake to make.

I’m pretty sure you mean NOT to charge between 4 and 9 PM. That’s when our power is most expensive and dirtiest relative to demand. Waiting until after 9 means getting out of the peak.

Exactly! I don’t want to push this all onto capitalism writ large (it’s a decent way of allocating certain resources within strict limits), but this whole notion of shareholder/management capitalism which really took off with Neutron Jack is bringing us to a perilous point.

OK, this is probably just a problem with Vox not bothering to translate the PDF (it is in German...), but a 3% decrease in car trips is much different from a 3% decrease in congestion.

Yeah, I agree 100% on this point. It’s such a condescending response, the whole “you’d think differently if it happened to someone you know.” Come on, we’re human beings, we can sympathize and empathize. Those are core evolutionary traits.

Also like creating a huge rental housing shortage where one in every ten rentable units is illegally off-market.

Or, to keep the theme, provincial?

Was this a member of government or a professional hockey player?

3.5.

Ok, so I’m doing the thing of commenting before listening, but:

Geologically? Do we have drivers from the mantle playing?

Bott’s dots are not reflective. The reflectors aren’t round.

Hey, a transportation solution that really only addresses major cities. What a surprise.

Well, this can be summarized as follows:

We should probably subsidize car ownership, then. Make it cheaper if it’s the better option for people.

It’s because a lot of public transit advocates aren’t really advocating for public transit in a vacuum - they’re advocating for urbanism writ large and see the personal car as the enemy of dense cities.
