I think SF rents reached their zenith shortly before the pandemic. Walking around the city you see a lot of commercial real estate signs and for lease signs. Tons of companies and individuals are leaving for good. If the trend of WFH (forev

I just finished Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy. (9.3/10) Should I read Ulysses? I’ve wanted to read it on account of its acclaim but after reading some comments here I feel like maybe not?

Time-restricted eating has worked wonders for me. I typically eat between 11a-7p and I track it all through the Zero App. It can be very difficult to start initially but when you power through the first week you truly start to see some resu

I moved to SF last year from SC and it has been a royal pain to find a good fried chicken joint. Friends, if you find yourselves in the southeast do your best to get into a Bojangles. Any suggestions for a good chicken joint in the Bay Area

No, but they have a good understanding on routes and areas with high traffic. That data is going to be worth a fortune for the first fully autonomous taxi service.

In the long term I think this will be a solid move for both Uber & Lyft. The apparent economics of both businesses are relatively dire but the long term value prop is still as important as ever: they are generating the consumer data tha

“The slow one now will later be fast / for the times they are a Changin’” -Bob Dylan Loved reading “Principles” by Dalio. Great read. I find it apparent that the U.S. is declining while China is in a prime position to reach new heights
