"Leave no trace" has always been a fake Burning Man ideal. Sure, they clean up after themselves, but hauling a mini city onto the desert and back (incl. water and sewage) leaves a relatively large per-attendee carbon footprint. Th

So it uses concrete which is VERY BAD and also needs a lot of it, but at maybe 1/6th the impact of regular concrete.[1] It's unclear how this works out in the end. Exactly how much cement do they need to scale this up? What's

Has anyone heard any more details on how GreyKey bypasses secure boot on the iPhone? Do we know the T2 has fixed that flaw?

What are the mobile prospects here? Sound like the main motivation is that phone numbers are not secure second factors. But the result is a solution that only works on desktops (is that correct?) and requires a physical key that can be easi

I too am very happy with Reeder. It actually is kept up to date. Came out with iPhone X support promptly, for example. I think we’re just conditioned to expect super frequent updates for everything every few weeks. Reeder is old school that

by abalone 8y ago
Roads are literally the classic example of induced demand. The price is the opportunity cost of using them. You build more, you lower that cost, more people decide to start driving. Not that hard to understand. Perhaps a fair proxy for tech

I have to say I loved growing up in midwestern nature. It's not a touristy sight-seeing nature like we have in the SFBA but there is just so much of it and you are surrounded by it and it's yours to play with. So.. as you said,

These are all very good points. I recently visited the midwestern city near where I grew up and was AMAZED, as a longtime SF resident, at the spacious cafes in gorgeous brick and timber buildings that would cost millions on open in SF. At t

We need more density. Serious question: do you guys think market rate development will push down prices enough to make SF affordable to the working class (service industry, teachers, etc.)? Or do we need subsidized / below market rate

Yeah but the thing YC discourages even more than that is solo founders.

Sometimes you need a push to break out of your comfort zone. And yes generally people into Pinot Grigio, even the best ones, could use a push. Alto Adige has fantastic and interesting other varietals.

Hakashu would be the one to try if you’re a scotch nerd. That’s a truly distinctive style... I call it “clean peat”.

by abalone 8y ago
Good. Alto Adige is full of great wines to explore. Don’t fixate on one producer — and try other varietals too.

My friends were involved in popularizing this on the west coast, worked for and with Yamazaki. This is a misleading title. The article says nothing about why it’s “so good.” Only why it is hard to find. At best it mentions that “People see

Show me the comment where someone said America can’t innovate after Levandowski was caught.

Right, he headed from Mountain View to San Francisco. Nobody complained about how keen San Franciscans are to steal everyone's IP.

Respectfully I submit that this reveals a racial bias that you should reflect upon. Why did your mind go to this case from 15 years ago and not Anthony Levandowski? He's an engineer that stole thousands of design documents just last y

by abalone 8y ago
Anthony Levandowski did exactly the same thing last year. Nobody concluded that white Americans can’t innovate.

The anti-Chinese sentiment on this thread is T H I C K. May I remind everyone that not so long ago another guy was caught red-handed downloading autonomous vehicle IP from a major SV firm to take with him to a new company. He was a white Am

That exaggerates how much they’d be taxed, but generally speaking such governments provide more public services (eg health care, quality education) and also build housing. Even in the USA, HUD used to have a bigger budget than the departmen

This is overly dismissive of the concerns of poor and working class renters. A big problem in this debate is that privileged, largely white people who want more affordable market rate housing claim to be speaking on behalf of poorer people
