A related activity is that they are broadcasting the launches and space activity. I found it on YouTube under CGTN. YouTube marks it as sponsored by the Chinese government. Funny that they don’t do the same for NASA. Politics aside, what i

Web still isn’t optimal for mobile interactions: layout, fonts, scrolling, performance, etc… Their solution seems somewhat specific to their needs. Sections and screens aren’t the right abstractions for many other kinds of apps. May still b

Salted fish in the same general approach as funazushi is still practiced in some Chinese cultures. I wonder if Chinese would find funazushi tasty.

Apparently you can’t read because it isn’t just because it is a misdemeanor but because of the refusal of Chesa Boudin to prosecute. Look who is picking and choosing which facts to ignore and choosing to spin a narrative. Go watch all the n

The funny thing about this comment is that it is the perfect demonstration of how media/people omit or spin facts to control the narrative. Some missing facts: The CDC and Fauci recommended against masks to protect the mask supply for

My speculation is that this story was seeded into media to make people think that the politicians are going after tech. My guess is that they are actually not. You should see the parade of politicians with hands out marching into tech offic

Like I said, just look at past history and form a hypothesis. Let the experiment play and and see who is right. Look at transportation and education in SF over his time.

There are many disadvantages/advantages that various groups face/possess. It is ideological which ones we choose to elevate. Genes for height, genes for fast twitch muscles, testosterone, etc… aren’t the same for different groups.

I think the more interesting question is how much human context is necessary in decreasing accident rates. The signal question and tunnel answer hinted at that. Some context is very local and some context is general at the level of humans.
