- Navy turns seawater into liquid hydrocarbon fuels! With nuclear power you can turn lead into gold too. Energy idiots! http://t.co/CCgvTEa4y6 17:13:51, 2014-04-12
- It seems like every year I have this manic re-discovery of the joy of biking uphill. The pleasures of forgetfulness. 16:08:29, 2014-04-12
- Working in space taught me how profound a wilderness it is. Far vaster & less hospitable than the Pacific or Sahara. We're on our own here. 01:56:26, 2014-04-12
- I think my low risk tolerance comes from human powered wilderness travel. Months without people, in places that do not care about my needs. 01:49:34, 2014-04-12
- I think my low discount rate comes from Carl Sagan, and from studying astronomy and geology. My reference timescales are long. 01:47:24, 2014-04-12
- The prices of so many important things are powerfully determined by discount rates and risk tolerance. Why are both of mine so low? 01:45:52, 2014-04-12
- Which isn't to say our land use patterns are good! We should be trying to induce 200% or 300% increases in demand, not 20% or 30%! 14:12:09, 2014-04-11
- I.e. @RideRTD is useless in the county, relative to the city. Which isn't too surprising, given our land-use patterns & service investments. 14:10:49, 2014-04-11
- What's amazing to me about those @RideRTD boarding numbers is that 93% of all @BoulderCounty boardings happen within @bouldercolorado. 14:08:50, 2014-04-11
- @ridertd @bouldercounty @bouldercolorado What I'm wowed by here is the proportion of county-wide use that's within the city of Boulder. in reply to ZaneSelvans 14:03:29, 2014-04-11
- @ramez Putting both offensive and defensive responsibilities within the same organization ensures at least one mission will fail. in reply to ramez 14:00:56, 2014-04-11
- And the whole system provides better service at about a 15% reduction in cost per boarding overall if I recall correctly. 12:41:34, 2014-04-11
- Induced transit demand here isn't bad. It's the whole point if the program! 12:37:56, 2014-04-11
- Base cost estimate is just all the revenues RTD gets from route fares today, plus an estimate of the cost to meet induced demand. 12:25:35, 2014-04-11
- Induced demand expected to be much greater in the county, because many fewer Eco Passes available out there than in the city. 12:22:51, 2014-04-11
- Today we have 8.45 million yearly @RideRTD boardings in @bouldercounty, of which 7.85 million are in the city of @bouldercolorado. Wow. 12:20:48, 2014-04-11
- Heading to the @PLANBoulder Friday forum to hear about progress toward a community-wide @RideRTD pass from @BoCoDOT and @bouldergobldr 11:57:08, 2014-04-11
- @1password Suspect it would require some kind of API on all the sites that doesn't exist yet… but it sure would be a nice feature. in reply to 1Password 11:38:14, 2014-04-11
- It would be really great if within @1password there were a way to change all my passwords automatically. Or do it monthly, even. 11:23:56, 2014-04-11
- Sad it's necessary, but glad we're starting to refer to them as the Oligarchs they are. Plutocratic insurgency FTW! http://t.co/aoF2ExwLhG 11:22:27, 2014-04-11
- Do you distrust your own narrative because it sounds right? You may be suffering from meta confirmation bias. Ask your statistician. 17:54:11, 2014-04-10

- I don't want a whole house or even 1/3 of a house. I want 1/10 of a house. Sustainability and frugality are almost the same. What is enough? 00:40:43, 2014-04-06
- Allowing people to share housing creates affordability not by increasing supply, but by making it possible for people to buy less housing. 00:37:07, 2014-04-06
