Weekend Open Thread

Happy Friday, everyone. I am very much looking forward to this weekend. Been a long and busy week here. Anyway, I didn’t read much interesting stuff this week, so I only have two links for the weekend.

  • Todd Schneider posted a really interesting look at New York City taxi data from 2009-15. It includes yellow and green cabs as well as Uber, and it covers over a billion trips. He looks at pickup and drop-off data, airport travel, the bridges and tunnels, and whether John McClane really could have made it from 72nd and Broadway to Wall Street in 30 minutes during rush hour before a bomb went off in Die Hard: With a Vengeance, among other stuff.
