No, sorry I didn’t prove your point.
You just accidentally proved that you don’t know how averages work.

But everyone would get to their destinations even faster if everyone just walked up or down both sides of the escalator.

And the people who want to walk will get there slower.

If you’ve ever actually ridden London escalators for the Tube, you’ll realize that the left walking lane is often open even when huge volumes of people are waiting for the escalator. Because most people choose to wait & stand. That’s why the capacity goes up.

I have a new article for them, “Put your work clothes on first before you take a shower.” The article will start with, “less area to cover when you have to clean yourself. Shower just takes 30 seconds, instead of the 5+ minutes. Your clothes will be mostly dry by the time you get to work.”

Yeah, the authors of this study clearly don’t understand the “throughput vs latency” relationship. An apropos analogy would be watching movies at home. The standers on the right are people who order BluRays from Amazon while the people walking on the left are NetFlix streamers. While it is technically true that…

Did you guys have an editorial meeting and decided to write a pile of “Take a Undefendable Yet Firm Position on a Trivial Matter That Will Drive People to the Comments to Argue” articles? This it least the third in the series after “This Is the Proper Etiquette for Leaving a Hotel Room” and “Stop Burying Your Pets in…

I got three sentences in and thought “this applies to the exit escalators at World Trade Center and nowhere else in the world”. What a waste of bandwidth to load this “article”.

Standing may increase throughput, but it increases latency. It’s still faster on the individual level to walk up, and having that open lane for walkers allows them to have that maximum speed. You are encouraging people to restrict the ability for anyone to choose to move faster, in order to increase overall…

“It turns out that the huge amount of space that escalator-walkers need cancels out all the time they gain by walking. “

“There were curses that were blanked out...Do I have to sit with my kids and explain to them what’s going on?”

Yes, it’s called being a parent you stupid fuck.

This movie was a staple of 80's cable and made me the geek I am today.

Unfortunately, none of them are Cardi B, and we now have no choice but to think of this as “Cardi B’s Hustlers that they are all also in.”

So online required 24/7, no lending games, no used games, basically the original Xbox One Microsoft wanted to launch which then got shit on by everyone. Now the question is, will consumers shit on this, or eat it up even though they were against it years ago?

Just go to the laundromat. Much bigger, heavier duty machines that can take the weight and cut the time way down. And if you break the machine, it's not yours.

Red Vines suck, they taste weird and plasticy. But RV vs Twiz is a regional thing. My CA husband is RV all the way and I grew up in PA.

Five years to shutdown. Two years until active development ends.

Two.  They’ll have to justify the resources they committed, and two years qualifies as “the old college try.”

So are we betting one year or two years before Google gets bored and just shuts the whole thing down?

Staind?  Been a while since I’ve heard them.
