I feel like I have discovered a commuting tip: do not go to your office on the hour, instead aim for 20 past, or a quarter to.
Everybody tries to be there on the hour, and if you do, too, your commute will be crowded.
If I take my bike only 10 minutes later, the streets are notably emptier.
Is that actually a thing?

Boston Globe even failed to mention the cyclist was on the SIDEWALK when he was murdered by the driver, who drove his Mercedes SUV directly onto the sidewalk. If there were events like MIT commencement, there'd be easily crowds of people on the sidewalk, and the driver would kill many pedestrians.

Is it too much to ask cars to stay on the road?

Edit: capital letters SIDEWALK

The Boston Globe · Driver in fatal Cambridge cyclist crash to face chargesBy Shannon Larson, Spencer Buell

I remember the day I first heard about AI intox/Fake news. It was during my commute, around 2012, Google had seemingly invented a machine that "dreams".. People talk to their pets like if they were humans, so I can't beginning to imagine what people are going to think interacting with machines that actually generate text. Anthropomorphisation of machines should be forbidden by law.

Filing this under ”not-shocked-at-all".

@jrdepriest the candidate did the right thing: Don't work for #CommercialRealEstate / #OfficeFetishists aka. assholes.

  • Let the top brass know that the decision to force people to do #UnpaidLabour aka. #commute has costed them an applicant and let financial stakeholders and investors know that.

Without #accountability & #consequences, shit like this will continue.

  • Personally I see no value to even consider working #onsite unless it's evidently a necessity (i.e. some electronics lab / repair / manufacturing plant or onsite support for clients).

Cuz it is just a waste of time and resources.
