@the_transit_guy Simple reason: in US private cos (Union Pacific, CSX, etc) own the rail and rights of way - prioritize freight. Govt operates Amtrak for passenger but 2nd priority to freight except NE corridor (Acela). Opposite of Europe where govt owns tracks and “private” cos operate trains.
Well, what a great 12-year run @NianticLabs
Thanks to all the amazing folks I worked with internally and externally over the years. I am eternally grateful, though I still think it stinks that I have to return all the Pokémon I caught while on company time.

@bgurley A stat that stuck with me: only 7% of all searches have any commercial value at all (i.e. you can run ads against them). "Average lifespan of Macaw parrot" was hard to monetize and = other 93%. Will I ask ChatGPT for a snorkeling outfitter in Tulum? Is the index run daily?
@zenly So sorry to hear of this, but @zenly if any of you on the team are interested in hearing more about @truffeltalk, which is connected in spirit and mission, please reach out to me here or on LinkedIn.
For the last 18 months, I've been a part of a small team @NianticLabs secretly working on a concept that I am very excited to share today.
Ever ask a friend to recommend a place? Ever make recommendations to friends? - @truffeltalk is my dream app.

From @NianticLabs - a new way of exploring the world around you. Truffel is a shared map where you and your friends pin the places that you love. Calling early explorers to join the test that will feature prizes and exclusive event invites. Early access: https://t.co/NTlNQApaaO
@eric_stamnes @rrossjd Yeah, very. Carlos handled it well imo though. Kinda crappy that TBS put him in this position, but Carlos is a truly a class act always and handled it nicely.
