Good question, this happened in London for sure, congestion charging increased the net pollution from vehicles but reduced the metrics inside the city, probably not much either way.
is it? i dont see the relevant other studies, and my initial assumptions would be that the median subway user is lower income than the median car driver in NYC, so transfering funds from car drivers to subway improvements would be progressive.
However NYC's transit is notoriously bad at spending, so not sure it would achive that. Which studies linked in this thread are you refering to? I cant see them.
Regular driving in large working cities is usually only done out of professional necesscity and people who drive for a living tend to be in lower socioeconomic bands.
How many people on Wallstreet do you know that drive to work?
> How many people on Wallstreet do you know that drive to work?
A lot. Also white-shoe lawyers. They live in Greenwich, Westchester or Westport and drive into the city. (And still, they often park uptown because driving in the congestion zone is annoying and expensive.)
The poor in New York don't drive. If they do, they do so to earn an income. Less congestion helps with that.
I'm not so confident in that first claim, and my anecdotal evidence doesn't support your theory.
However you did mention some other studies on this thread that support your claim this is a regressive tax, I'm worried I missed them, can you share the links?
Regressive taxes aren't bad inherently bad. Regressive spending is bad.
In this case, you have a regressive tax with a huge positive side effect due to taxing an externality. If the funds are also spread into progressive services it can be a net positive for all income brackets.
I wish as a society we'd use this form of taxation more, and widely applied taxes less. In theory insurance is supposed to have the actuarial people who figure it out and properly price the choices in, but it's also surprising how crude they can be-- lumping very distinct situations as "the same". eg aggressive drivers are only penalized after they hurt someone, like the phrase "no harm no foul" (until there is harm). It'd be better if telemetry was collected and penalized in realtime.
They can also have their own significant externalities and introduce perverse incentives (in this case...) for revenue-seeking infrastructure governance.
The problem with all of these is they use the same components because only one factory makes them any longer, they're quite bulky, and relatively low quality, for anyone interested in this you're better off getting an old used player.
>Every text editor on windows adds a carriage return by default.
Either you should know your tool well enough to turn it off, or tools shouldn't make obscure changes to the output that the user did not specify, either way Zig is absolutely correct in not allowing for either case, I wasn't aware of this but it makes me even more convinced of their principles.
Either you should know your tool well enough to turn it off,
Everyone can do that and by saying this you have already missed the point.
You think literally all windows text is "obscure changes to the output"? Have you ever used windows? All text you have ever saved has a carriage return in it.
Zig is absolutely correct in not allowing for either case
Then why does every other language, text editor and text tool in existence deal with this single extra character?
I wasn't aware of this but it makes me even more convinced of their principles.
Which are what exactly? Making a windows version that doesn't work to intentionally annoy their users?
There is no rationalization you can come up with that isn't hypocritical here unless you admit that you just like malice towards windows users, because that's all it is.
The expurgation of "losers" less so.
Who are losers here? Zig users who tried it on windows or people who know what a carriage return is?
Evidently you did not read the original release or the top comment, but this has nothing to do with carriage return.
You replied 5 comments deep in a thread about zig intentionally annoying users by erroring out on something simple that every other program or library on windows deals with automatically.
But you're right, where possible I try to avoid Windows.
You're backpedaling now. Originally you were trying to rationalize someone intentionally releasing a broken program to troll people.
My employer does, but only analyses the overage, so when a project comes in under estimate they think it's because it went smoothly, the reality is actually that estimates only ever tell you how good you are at estimating.
Sure, it only "just requires" it if you actually care about your program working properly in the presence of concurrency. To reiterate, this is as true in Rust as it is in C or Zig, it's just that also Rust allows you to do better than the "YOLO" approach to concurrency in a way that most languages could only dream of.
Seriously, I'm begging people to try writing a program that uses ordinary threads in Rust via `std::thread::scope`, it's eye-opening how lovely thread-based concurrency is when you have modern tools at your disposal.
I'm disappointed you went with FI, the L28 is wonderful, if I was you I'd be tempted to swap the EFI for carbs, I expect the carbs for the L's 24 and 26 would suit?
Any word on how much the Nismo head will be, the OS Giken one is absolutely eye-watering.
The estimation for the Nismo head is ~$25k for just the head, not sure if that price included the valve train as well... Derrick's head is ballpark the same cost.
There is one more company in japan JMC,that is making heads as well, they have a recast of the N42 heads w/ better machining.

I have a 260z with round-top SUs from my 240z with L26, its not bad, it's a single click to get that engine running, even after sitting for a long time.
On the carb setup, I find the fuel smell to be a bit overwhelming, to the point where I don't want to drive the car as much because the passengers reek of fuel when they get out. I cant even run a shitty CAT on the exhaust because it would get destroyed by the carb. This is probably also due to leaks in the body gaskets...
I think it's really just the turbo that I want, I cant get smoked by these civics :(
prosaic.
