I think it may have even made sense when Uber & Lyft were a smaller percentage of the traffic, since arrivals is generally more of a mess because of (a) mistimed meetings and (b) trying to figure out where the other party is, so diverting 25% of arrivals to departures is good.

That seems like an understatement.
The through-running on many Tokyo subway lines seems like a more powerful version of this. Many regional trains *become* subways and run as normal subways in the subway line, and in some cases become another regional train at the other end.

@united your website seems confused about the time difference between San Francisco (SFO) and Sydney (SYD), and is showing incorrect "Travel Time" when I view a reservation. It thinks SFO to SYD is one hour longer than it really is, and SYD to SFO an hour shorter.

But I would argue that "you can't have a California lawyer design form-based legal advice for Californians and then have it distributed by a Canadian company -- you have to have a qualified California lawyer dispense legal advice to every client" is a form of protectionism.

That feels like a narrow definition of protectionism. Why distinguish between types of barriers to trade for what can qualify as protectionism?

Better URL for conditional voter registration: sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-r…
Did you tell them that California now allows registration up to election day, if you vote at the one place per county that allows it?
See the "conditional voter registration" section of sos.ca.gov/elections/frequen…

Stevenson: Asks "who he privately leaks data to"
There is a big question about who he privately leaks data to and that should be investigated.
Privately leaking this information makes money for those who get it. Where does the money they “make” come from? People who don’t have the information.

Elected officials were doing nothing long before Uber came around. They did nothing *for decades* as medallion prices soared, forcing cabbies to take out high-six-digit loans. And they’re doing it again with home prices and the medallion system that is zoning
A tragedy but also a politics story. Uber hired city's top consultants lobbyists and convinced electeds to do nothing nytimes.com/2018/05/27/nyreg…

The point here is that local governments in California, the @cityofpaloalto included, make it really hard to create new #housing. This project still has to go to a vote at the city council on June 4, where it may or may not pass.

Reading @alon_levy's mention of missed connections in pedestrianobservations.com/2… (pointing to pedestrianobservations.com/2…) reminds me: the plans for the eastern section of the Taipei Metro yellow line suffer *badly* from this problem, missing connections with both Red and Green lines.
