Scores are periodically renormalized to a new sample to keep 100 the median, but you can normalize to a single baseline to compare across time.

But scooters are _much_ smaller than bikes, and Americans are _much_ less likely to ride scooters or bikes than the Chinese are. I haven't seen anything close to those Chinese scenes in San Francisco while they had scooters. In fact, I

The thing to understand about San Francisco is that it's ironic. The whole thing, the city itself. It doesn't make any sense if you take it at face value, you need to understand that it's "bad" and "dumb"

So the money comes from utility customers? That seems amazingly fiscally regressive, especially for California. At least early on, the main beneficiaries of this will be affluent people. That is hard to avoid when you're trying to ince

Loneliness is a serious health risk, rivaling smoking or obesity. Perhaps your doctor was simply prescribing treatment.

I very much doubt it. For example, American restaurants happily serve this crap, passing it off as "tuna": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escolar

Is the climate actually nice? I could not live in a place where it's cloudy most of the year.

Does it make sense to get MoviePass while it's still alive? On one hand, the subscription costs less than a single movie ticket where I live, and even as an infrequent movie-goer I'm pretty sure I'd save money. On the other h

That was not "front end", that was webpages. There was no "back end" and no business, the webpage was the whole thing. And you were not paid as a "front end engineer" or even a "designer", in fact you

You were lucky... I check every once in a while, but I've never seen it pop up.

If anyone working at Apple is reading this, know that this keyboard has cost you two laptop purchases from me alone. At work I still use a 15" MBP from four years ago. I would have happily updated by now (if nothing else, because the a

If you're going to do all that, I'd honestly rather go the extra mile and build a tram mile. Trams are superior to buses in terms of comfort.

On top of that, in many American households the dog serves as a substitute for a child (as is made obvious by language such as "fur baby", "dog mom" etc.). And the cost of rearing a child is another order of magnitude hi

You are so wrong I don't know where to start. The percentage of Americans with college degrees has never been higher. For decades, the message from authorities has consistently been to encourage youths to go to college as much as possi

This shows the problem with capitalism's winner-takes-all ethic. In America the piles of old bikes are not built by corporations, but by mom-and-pop chop-shops and self-employed bike thieves, under the benevolent watch of the local pol

I've been out in the middle of the savannah in Kenya, with no artificial lights around, and it looked worse than the picture on the left. Night sky photography is best understood as a creative art form, with only the faintest connectio

The problem is that T-Mobile has poor coverage. Enticing me to switch away from my cheap pre-paid T-Mobile plan actually works against them, because at that point I'll absolutely switch to another carrier.

Oh, for sure. They're absolutely going to keep squeezing more and more rent out until they kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. It's politically inevitable.

This is probably also related to what happens with the senseless custom of tipping. Does anybody actually spend time evaluating the service they got? Do people carefully adjust the tipped amount to correspond to quality? Unless the service

Removing the dots and the pluses is not enough. Let's say that James Fisher also owns jameshfisher@yahoo.com. Eve finds that jameshfisher@gmail.com has a Netflix account, so she registers a new account with jameshfisher@yahoo.com. The

Express Pool is almost another form of price discrimination, IMO. It's around the same price as I remember Pool being before, but they make you walk a couple of blocks to the pickup point. But in my experience, the pickup point is almo

The problem is that then you have to use T-Mobile in the US. I have it too, but only because I'm too stingy and lazy to switch. There are areas of San Francisco where it just has no signal, and forget about the Muni tunnels. It's

Americans are really noisy and unruly. I grew up in a city and I hate the suburbs, but I kind of understand not wanting to live next to others in America.

In the deleted tweets, he was using "breach" in the narrow sense of computer security, basically saying "my team didn't mess up, we didn't get hacked". There are two problems with that: 1) That view is already
