    Don’t think I’ve linked to this before: https://patrickcollison.com/fast . Would it be possible to have some kind of index that measures the friction associated with getting things done?

        According to some sources, in the early 1980s someone at IBM calculated it would take them 9 months to ship an empty box. Can be extended? How long to deploy a new API with no features? A law with no text? A building with no construction?

        The best part of the increase in wet weather being responsible for the multi-year delay on the van ness bus lane, of course, is that they made this claim toward the tail end of historic drought in 2017.
