There's not a lot of practical benefit to looking at the stars beyond trying to understand the universe we live in. However, many _many_ technologies have come out of the space race and other space related endeavors--you might be surpr

you can purchase drip machines that make single servings. I use aeropress with a steel filter, which makes a single cup and produces no waste. It does take a little more effort than popping a kcup in a machine, but not so much to deter me f

reduce, reuse, _then_ recycle. It's better to not use, or to reuse, then to try and recycle something. Despite the fact that it contains a "recycling" logo, the logo is really more of a indication of which plastic it is, rath

starbucks can be good, the trick is to order: 1. espresso drinks 2. order one shot extra (starbucks will only put 1 shot of espresso in an 12oz tall--so you should order AT LEAST one extra shot). 3. ask for blonde roast, which is actually n

What pendantry is this? The only thing that you could take away from OP's comment is that they made a metaphor, and since you can make a metaphor about anything, the chosen metaphor says nothing? That's like saying, well, you can

for me it is a fact. I still use the mouse from time to time when editing text mind you. But for most actions, I would not think of moving my hand to the mouse, because it is slow. Even before vim, I made gratuitous use of end of line navig

I use this but my god the VS Code vim plugin pisses me off sometimes. It's good probably 99% of the time. But I feel that (from time to time) it collapses multiple commands into a single undo action. Frequently I find myself frustrated

I feel like people always approach this question from a cost perspective. Ive actually literally had people insinuate that if they used standard guage, they could somehow just repurpose existing trains or existing parts. I do wonder how muc

california has always been a place of immigration and gold seekers. san francisco was literally a goldrush city and a port. it was always a place of money and economy.

depends. drywalling is notoriously a stoner job in north america. other professions, like electrician, not so much since you could end up dead.

You proffer that people should be fine being second-rate citizens so long as there is a policy outlining their second-ratedness? This is not the star-studded retention policy you think it is.

I love ghost but it's always been pretty expensive for just a blog. It seems like they've maybe shifted prices down a bit, it used to be more than $10/mo, and measured based on page views. Now they're really pushing thei

blackberry's effort wasn't honest. They only opened it up after their platform had been bleeding users for a while. If they were first to market with an app for android and ios I feel like things might have gone very differently.

A lot of people would disagree with those proposals, though. They're not new ideas. The most recent DA did exactly what he said he was going to do, which was (essentially) work at fixing the underlying problems, and not promote a syste

I understand abstractly what you're saying, but I don't understand concretely. Do you have a way of fix the homelessness issues in San Francisco that the city has overlooked because it was too hard? I've thought about the pro

by MAGZine 4y ago
This is probably a correct take but not really immediately actionable. It's up the the residents of the city to decide they want to change their neighborhoods. And most new construction ends up market rate which takes a while to free u

NYC has a lot more aggressive policies regarding homelessness and drug use. Open drug use and pitching tents are not tolerated. If you see a homeless person "in need of assistance" (their phrasing), you just call 311 and a team of

The poor people were basically not punished for crimes and allowed to pitch tents wherever they pleased. Also free housing if they wanted, so long as they didn't use drugs. Rehab if they wanted it. What part of that seems inhumane?

Because it implies a cut and dried solution, which does not exist. It's implies sf wants to care, but is too busy virtue signaling to do anything about it. Like as if the city doesn't want to put it's money where it's mo

It's not great but I visit semi frequently. I think the media has exaggerated it. I left sf but it wasn't because of the crime.

I wanted to give my eyes a rest while working. Opthalmologists and optometrists recommend every 20 minutes, look at something 20 ft away for 20 seconds. I found an app to do so. Like your app, it has a big full screen break, and some way to

I thought about amending my earlier comment to mention apples iPhone subscription service. It's still a rent to own thing, but the trend here is clear: people don't really care about owning, they care about being able to afford th

Given the popularity of 2 year cellphone contracts and Netflix over owning DVDs, yes people do tend to favour convenience over ownership.

The legislation is clear. If the legislation is incorrect, it should be amended. The court did its job.

Flagged as inaccurate. The court does not find bees are fish, the court finds that the legal text defines fish to include invertebrates, which bees are. California court finds that bees fall under classification defined by legal text is a m

The legislature did address the gap. The legal text, as passed by the legislature, defines fish (within the context of the document) to include invertebrates. They could have called "fish," anything in this case. They could have c

As a sidebar, you probably can see this already happening inside tech. Which companies do you know have frozen hiring? What will it do to your job prospects?
