They also have a sculpture by Noguchi and another by Kusama, but those particular pieces don't speak to me.

Theoretically the space should be conducive to art viewing, but the reality is most travelers are hurrying from security to their terminals, so few folks have the time to stop and appreciate.

The problem is the vast majority of drivers overestimate their skills and underestimate the risks. Many people are also emotional drivers and will drive faster when angry or stressed. A great combo.

> I settle for a middle position, which is that the speed limit should be no less than 35 mph on most streets, with heavy mandated use of automated collision avoidance systems.

So what are you going to do about all the millions of existing cars out there without collision avoidance systems?

Given all this, the easiest solution is for people to drive the speed limit, especially in urban areas with pedestrians and bicyclists.

If you really want to gas it, go to a racetrack or buy a motorcycle and donate your brain.

Without a PM: I conducted customer interviews, wrote up product requirement docs (PRD), and iterated with design on the mocks. On top of that, I had to implement the whole feature (while tweaking things with a designer), and also juggling another track of technical work.

This would be fine if I was a founding engineer, but I'm not and wasn't being compensated enough for the extra workload. And sure, now with LLMs the coding portion would be smaller, but there would still a lot of context switching and one might not able to do technical deep dives into things with all the meetings. All those meetings.

So don't overlook your PM.

> Looking inside of the display, I found labels identifying the make and model. The signs were designed and manufactured by Trans-Lite, Inc., a company based in Milford, Connecticut that specialised in transport signage from 1959 until its acquisition by the Nordic firm Teknoware in 2012. After lots of amateur detective work, and with the help from an anonymous Reddit user in a Connecticut community group, I was connected with Gary Wallberg, Senior Engineer at Trans-Lite and the person responsible for the design of these very signs back in 1999.

Few years back, we had a work thread about this exact Muni Metro font and the designers brought up segmented types. We never got as far as the author in finding the source, but did bring up other systems with similar typefaces.

NYC has their own called R142A: https://www.nyctransitforums.com/topic/55346-r142a-mosaic-lc...

And here's one inspired by Spain's transit system: https://aresluna.org/segmented-type/

1) Physical activity. Sure standing desks are the rage right now, but actual movement is better.

2) People actually hold conversations while playing ping-pong. One of our VPs would be talking to another one about investment strategies while they played each other.

3) It's a good way to meet new people in your office. You see someone from another department play, ask to join, then meet someone new and bond over a shared interest.

So in HR vernacular, ping-pong has the potential to form organic relationships. Instead of company volunteer days on weekends where half the people would rather be at home with their friends or families.

The problem with research is that it doesn't always move in predictable increments. Sometimes things do take a few years to actually have any sort of breakthrough. Secondly, it might pressure researchers to falsify their data just to appear that they're making progress. I remember this being a contentious issue laster year.
