The NKD people talking about the convention basically said:

1) There's a policy group forming to study the possible outcomes and strategize about it.

2) Cautious optimism that a convention could finally allow for a lot of progressive and anti-corruption reforms being perpetually blocked by machine politicians on both sides to finally go through.

That being said, I don't know enough right now to say how realistic that optimism is. OTOH if you told me IDC types and machine Dems will use labor fear to poison the well against a convention... I probably wouldn't find that too far fetched either.

NY Dems immediately flip hardcore right wing as soon as the word "Israel" appears.

Also they probably know it's an unconstitutional showboat piece of poo poo so why not just bank the pro-israel points and move on.

Anyone have opinions on the Brooklyn DA primary? Gonzalez has continued some of the work of Ken Thompson but shows a worrying pattern of playing nice with the usual NYC politico shitheads. The PBA endorsement is not comforting either.

Fliedner apparently has some endorsements from progressive groups and old Bernie people. He was also glad handing with his husband while shitfaced at Brooklyn pride this year.

I don't know anything about any of the other candidates and there seems to be very little coverage or campaigning for a race with six candidates.

hark! the end of anonymous subway travel.

the mta's payment tech will be raided by ICE and other fascist agencies and used to track, criminalize, and assault New Yorkers. Say no to app-based travel.

This gives the MTA far too much credit in terms of technical competence. Besides, it's not like cash top-ups for whatever their lovely version of an osyter card is won't be a thing.

Easypay just logs it in the account interface which the employer is free to set up because they administer it as a benefit. It's also publicly available for realtime scraping by API developers or via a FOIL request if you have the card number. There's a guy over on Reddit who allegedly found his employer keeping full logs internally, and the replies are full of "oh yeah sure you can totally do that this way".

Oh, so the employer setup the account and just downloaded it because it's something the account holder has access to. That's like saying "my employer setup my gmail account and has the password and can ready every email I send!!!"

That's pretty different from inplying employers can track every MetroCard. Presumably wageworks and such this wouldn't happen because you buy your own MetroCard with the credit card thing.

Mandoric posted:

Correct, if you buy your own through credit added on Wageworks and the employer doesn't get a receipt which happens to include the card number, you're fine.

If the employer buys it directly rather than buying you Wageworks credit, which is possible through other suppliers, or if the card number is supplied to the employer, trips can easily be tracked.

I guess my quibble is saying that employers regularly track transit "benefits". Reddit dude had a card given to him by his job because his job involved riding the subway all day, it wasn't his personal commuter card pretax or otherwise. It's analogous to an employer keepimg track of tollbooth receipts from company cars.

Now, if the MTA will just hand out trip history to anyone with a metrocard number and no other verification or legal order, that's a different and more concerning privacy / stalker risk (because people don't consider the back of their metrocard a sensitive thing). I can't find anything that suggests they'll give you that without a legal order aside from one dude on reddit who was like "yeah API probably has it I bet".

Protected bike lanes not only reduce traffic deaths (for everyone, by forcing people to driver slower and not treat urban areas like a speedway) but they also have the bonus benefit of really pissing off the shittiest, most entitled rear end in a top hat drivers. It's win-win!
