@Networker_365 @oevans82 Probably. There’s also 六本木ヒルズ (Roppongi Hills) that started the trend, too.

Why are signboards on American buses so useless? Japan, France etc. call out where they’re headed when doors open, vocally announce the name of bus stops they’re approaching, show maps of where they are onboard,…

But American buses can’t even show the right line name 🙃

Today the @WhiteHouse announced that all federally funded research will be made openly available. Importantly, it eliminates the 12-month embargo. This is the result of decades of work by @SPARC_NA, @petersuber, @mbeisen, and so many more. #OpenAccess https://t.co/baSNzXPh4Y

@wandaforraleigh What else should Raleigh do, then?

Sounds to me like the most literal way to read what you implied is to amend BRT overlay rules in the UDO so that rezoning/ASRs require meeting affordability thresholds. …but is that even legal? (Or what other approaches are there?)

Breaking: President Biden just announced that the FDA has cleared the way for hearing aids to be sold over the counter without a prescription to adults.

As soon as mid-October, Americans should be able to buy hearing aids online and in retail stores.

Do you think tracking how and when employees work will improve how businesses run? Does it really benefit worker morale or business missions?

I dare you to read (and participate in) this article, and tell me “yes” with a straight face. https://t.co/ywOfJO6xgz

@NateBakerDurham Thanks! Will look into applying if time allows.

Also I just checked, and I think I got confused with requirements for Chapel Hill’s planning commission. Durham’s doesn’t seem to have any such by-laws.

[Kéita Yokoyama @KeitaAY]

@NateBakerDurham Have they considered loosening its requirements for who can be appointed?

If I remember correctly, I think they ask applicants to have planning degrees or industry experience. Seems like a big gap in equity + missed opportunity if true. (Also I want to help but have neither 😭)

[Kéita Yokoyama @KeitaAY]

@GallippiLab @NIDDKgov Thank you! I’m excited for all the training and networking opportunities that lie ahead

[Kéita Yokoyama @KeitaAY]

This can be just as useful in other complex discussions like news articles, policy documents, and business strategy presentations, too!

@neuroamyo Egglet if they’re cute, snuggly, and perpetually tiny; Eclair if they’re sassy and have an uncanny taste for bougie human food

@NateBakerDurham @NinthStreetWatc The way private developers can easily get an audience with city staff for policy changes (even w/ @Habitat_org partnership?) is definitely concerning.

But isn’t that also a red herring? Residents can initiate UDO amendments too. And the process is just as arcane and complex.

@ScriptingJapan @AmbroiseVelvet But the meaning of the super-tree kanjis are lost to history? Booo

Coach K’s first loss at Duke was to us -and so was his last. #GoHeels

@jonstewart @Sulliview The last bit in the podcast about participatory, opinionated journalism sounds familiar… Jon, you should bring this up to @jayrosen_nyu and @robwijnberg!

@merobiotech Why not just keep it as the Overton window? It’s not a fundamentally different concept in the life sciences, so there’s no functional benefit to a new name

Am I testing my hypothesis or is my hypothesis testing me?
