sfilmeyer··on Ask HN: What is your “I don't care if this succeeds” project?
Are you licensed? Maybe the first candidate just intends to take your financial advice and then sue you into the ground afterwards.
sfilmeyer··on Vimeo acquires Livestream
Vimeo is owned by IAC, the $9 billion dollar market cap company that owns Match.com, Tinder, OKCupid, Dictionary.com, and lots of others[0]. I don't think this is proof that Vimeo's revenue model is working out unless it's clear that this is being funded by Vimeo revenues and not just the broader IAC war chest.

sfilmeyer··on Seattle is putting up $50B for transit
>I think that busses are only included in the system due to the convenience of not having to have a line to the depo

Busses are just a lot more flexible in general. The costs with starting and stopping bus lines are much less than other forms of transit, the vehicles tend to be more interchangeable, the infrastructure is less substantial, and so on. I'm not saying I generally enjoy riding busses, but the costs to the system are very different than other forms of transit.
