106 years ago this week, a terrible accident took place within sight of South Station. November 7, 1916 was election day in Boston, but it was an otherwise completely ordinary autumn afternoon for the passengers who packed themselves into streetcar number 393 of the Boston Elevated Railway for their evening commute through South Boston to South Station and Downtown Crossing. The everyday monotony of the trip home was shattered in an instant, when the streetcar crashed through the closed gates of the Summer Street bridge and plunged through the open drawbridge and into the dark and frigid water below. How many could be saved, and how many would have to perish for this evening to be remembered as Boston's greatest moment of tragedy for a generation?

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: EAGxBoston: Updates and Info from the Organizing Team, published by Kaleem on March 11, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. TLDR: All you need to know about EAGxBoston - It's going to be awesome ! Also: If you would like to nominate a friend or colleague to present at EAGxBoston, or have presented at an EAG(x) before and would like to do so at EAGxBoston, please email us at boston@eaglobalx.org (edit: the email address above only got corrected at 1pm EST on the 11th of March - if you were trying to email us before that, we apologize and kindly ask you to resend your email to the corrected address) Intro EAGxBoston will be taking place from 6pm on Friday the 1st of April until 8pm on Sunday the 3rd of April. We're very excited about how big, exciting, and high quality this conference is shaping up to be—we are prepared to welcome up to 1,000 attendees and it's looking possible that we'll actually be doing that. If this is your first time attending an EA conference (or even if you have attended one before but perhaps didn't take preparation seriously) we suggest reading these excellent posts about how to get ready for an EA conference. We're also still eager to expand our team of pre-event and on-the-day volunteers (it'll be fun and impactful) ! There are lots of other ways to engage with other attendees before the event: there is an #eagxboston-2022 channel on the Groups Slack, there is this WhatsApp group, there are EA Facebook pages, and the Swapcard app (launching soon!). The applications for EAGxBoston close on the 21st of March. Dates and times In case you missed this somehow, the conference is happening from the 1st to 3rd of April 2022. We hope to make the detailed schedule of sessions at the conference available soon, through the Swapcard app. In the meantime, we can tell you generally that there will be an opening reception and career fair/internship fair/academic program fair from 6-9pm on the 1st of April, and that the conference will be open from 8am-8pm on the 2nd and 3rd, but we will try to have the majority of programming fall between 10am and 6pm. Location The conference will be happening at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center (BCEC) located at 415 Summer St, Boston, MA 02210, in Boston's Seaport District. There are multiple ways to get to the venue: You can use the MBTA (Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority)'s Red Line or Silver Line, or the 4, 7, or 11 bus, depending where you are starting from. If you're using the red line, South Station is the closest station to BCEC (~10min / ~1.1km/ ~0.7mile walk). Broadway station is also close (~12min / ~1.4km / ~0.9mile walk). If you use the silver line, the SL1, SL2, SL3, and SLW all stop right next to BCEC. Venue info If you've looked at BCEC online or via maps, you'd have noticed that it's basically the size of a small airport. We will be using the entirety of one side of the second floor—that is to say, we have loads of space. In addition to the massive amount of meeting (and eating) space, you can also walk around the rest of the interior of BCEC, or around its exterior perimeter. What there'll be in the venue Coat check Quiet space 2 large one-on-one spaces with >100 2-person tables General session space Dining space for ~800 people at a time 7 ~60 person workshop/meeting spaces First aid Security at the entrances What we recommend you bring with you Refillable water bottle Rain jacket/umbrella Laptop/notebook Laptop and phone chargers Things to help you de-stress or relax during off time, such as a book or headphones or an eye mask if you want to take a nap Necessary medications Covid policy We will not mandate the wearing of masks. However, we encourage people to think seriously about their decision to wear/not wear one with respect to other attendees' safety. We will have ~1,000 KN95 m...

Protests against the state of policing across the nation, and the use of tear gas and other militaristic police tactics in Albany, continued this weekend, including active protests at the APD's South Station. Paul Smart of Hudson Mohawk Magazine looks into what's at play, and where things are likely to go this evening and beyond.
This episode contains graphic depictions of events and explicit language. Please listen with care. When folks at the Capital City Rescue Mission in Albany were told they had a few dozen coronavirus vaccines at their disposal to use for their homeless clients, it was a race against time to get as many shots in arms as possible before the doses expired. On this episode of The Eagle, reporter Eduardo Medina recounts his experience following Mission staff on their quest to locate and vaccinate as many people as they could. Also on this episode, Times Union Editor Casey Seiler discusses a clash this week between protesters and police at Albany's South Station, reporter Claire Bryan takes a deep dive into CDC guidelines for the fully vaccinated, and writer Azra Haqqie talks about how some in the local Islamic community are finding they have had more time to focus on spirituality as they enter the second Ramadan since the pandemic began.

Good morning, you made it to the midway point of the week, thanks for waking up with Joe Mathieu and the GBH Early Edition team. Not to repeat ourselves, but more crazy happenings in DC yesterday as the Attorney General surprised us all by announcing that the Justice Department found no evidence of fraud in the 2020 election. To be clear the surprise is not the lack of fraud, but rather Bill Barr’s willingness to confirm that and contradict President Trump’s narrative. Meanwhile locally the city is abuzz with the appearance of a few big celebrities at South Station… or maybe not so much. Hang in there and stay safe, and thanks for tuning in to GBH Radio.
Kyle Powers is the cofounder and CEO of LibertyPay, a Boston business that powers remittances to Brazil and Mexico – settling on Bitcoin, rather than traditional financial rails. LibertyPay has settled nine figures worth of value in its history – and most users never know their transactions are settling via Bitcoin. In this episode: How LibertyX began with the cofounders standing beside a Bitcoin ATM in South Station in 2014 The origins of LibertyPay and how the cofounders realized that Bitcoin-based remittances were a viable product How LibertyPay determined the most viable channels for their Bitcoin remittance product Why Brazil is a goldilocks zone for Bitcoin-powered remittances In which domains Bitcoin-based remittances outmatch the traditional system Why LibertyPay uses Bitcoin as their bridge currency and not another asset Why obtaining banking in 2014 was such a challenge Whether there was a coordinated attempt to unbank crypto companies in 2014-15 Whether Kyle is optimistic about the future of digital cash Whether XRP will ever grow into its promise as a touted bridge currency Why Kyle views Bitcoin's base layer as more of SWIFT analogue rather than a payments network Why owning Bitcoin gives you exposure to all of its descendants, in the case of a dispute Why Bitcoiners should be excited about stablecoins

The first winter storm of the season is wreaking havoc on planes, trains, ferries and cars across New England. A commuter rail coach car detached while leaving South Station yesterday morning during rush hour with passengers on board. A Boston Harbor ferry tried to make the trip across at the beginning of the storm when high winds and waves sent both chairs and people flying across the decks while a group of passengers at Logan airport were stuck in a waiting to board holding pattern for over 15 hours. How did you weather the storm?
This week Kevin and Kornflake are joined by special guest Ed, from The Sponge Awareness Foundation! But Ed is not just the other half of Kevin's old comedy band. Ed is also a train expert, and today we're talking trains. HEY, WAIT, COME BACK. This is The Flopcast, so specifically we're talking about trains from old movies, TV shows, and cartoons! Anyone else remember the short-lived 1979 show Supertrain? (It was Love Boat on a train, essentially. We miss it terribly.) Can you name the movies that had Jack Lemmon and Jon Cryer racing through Boston's South Station, just like Kevin and Ed did when being chased by screaming Sponge Awareness fans? Want even more details about that train scene in our favorite obscure summer camp show, High Feather? Ed has tracked down some fascinating facts about all this and much more. It's scary and fun. (Mostly scary. Happy Halloween.) Also: A Super Megafest preview and World Numbat Day, both of which we somehow make all about trains. Why, we might even keep the train talk going next week. You've been warned.

Patrick Sullivan, executive director of the Seaport TMA, estimates 4,000 people on a typical weekday come into North Station and then take shuttles to the congested Seaport District. He said his organization hopes to eliminate a lot of that vehicle traffic by launching a water shuttle between Lovejoy Wharf and the South Boston waterfront this summer. Test runs showed the trip would take about 13 minutes. Sullivan, participating in the Codcast with James Aloisi and Marc Ebuna of TransitMatters, said Silver Line service from South Station to the Seaport District is at capacity most weekday mornings, but there are no plans to expand the 32-bus fleet. The three discussed ways to boost capacity by creating dedicated lanes or adjusting traffic signals to speed up the buses.

She also reads part two of this year's Christmas story, "Special Delivery, Christmas Eve." "...The Concord Trailways bus was on time, arriving at the Shell Station at 9:15 from South Station. Jessica’s ride was not. She’d received a text: “Ten minutes!!” Double exclamation point, followed by a sad face emogi. Jessica’s mom...." Moon Astrology: Full Moon of Long Nights in Gemini: Change your mind. "All actions here are prayer", assured recognition, and a good smoke.
March 2015 - Day 19 My second recording from the South Station pianos. I had at least a couple spectators - you can hear them in the background!
March 2015 - Day 18 I'm releasing two recordings today: this first one is tiny - it's just a clip of a woman I met who had been hanging out at the South Station public piano for multiple days, hours a day. She was trying to amass signatures for a petition to save the pianos. I wonder what became of that?
March 2015 - Day 18, part two! I launched into this jaunty tune. Seemed very appropriate for South Station. There were actually two pianos set up next to each other there, which was unique.
The panel is back for a post-election show crush-loaded with over an hour of the latest transportation news and analysis, this time joined by the Walking Bostonian (Matthew Danish) to explain how the theory of induced (travel) demand applies to roads and transit in Boston. We learn about everything from our most frustrating transit line (hint: it's green) to efforts to re imagine a boulevard of death (Commonwealth Ave in Allston & Brighton) to an entirely new neighborhood about to be created in Allston -- if we get it right. November's show would not be complete without a recap of the election including the repeal of gas tax indexing, speculation on transit's future under Governor Charlie Baker and how we might build on the legacy of the late Mayor Menino. We also discussed: making Commonwealth Ave (Allston/Brighton) safe for people; Mass Pike straightening and the future West Station; restoration of some weekend commuter rail service; the Fairmount Line; South Station expansion and the North-South rail link; thinking about Hubway as part of the public transportation network; a lazy bike safety report; the Lynn ferry experiment; and potential transit solutions for the Seaport District.

Like something out of a bad standup act, Keith and Greg relive airport experiences and talk shit about a few. They then discuss one of Greg's little known passions, psuedonyms, and future plans to mess with people. Stone Phillips and Dateline are also discussed.
