Based on just a cursory Google search, the base price for a Chevy Silverado is $37,600. The Model 3 is $46,000 (before incentives). If you have the income to afford a new Chevy truck (especially with a lift kit), you can also afford a Tesla

This is exactly why Silicon Valley engineers, and engineers generally, need to stop being so dismissive of people with "useless" liberal arts educations, and instead bring in sociologists and anthropologists to think through these

Wild how after years of scandal involving tech companies not thinking through the impact of their products on society, people are still saying sociology is a useless major.

Listen to the artists named in the article. Half of the players that are part of the recent wave are on the same record labels as your "weird new electronic artist". The Comet Is Coming, one of Shabaka Hutching's many bands,

I think a more interesting question than "should we do this or not" is "how would you build a tool that could model an entire ecosystem?". Does anyone reading this know what scientists use to do this currently?

Even if your premise is that we should prioritize human life above all else, there's still a very good reason to consider the effect of eliminating any species on the rest of the ecosystem before we just pull the trigger. It's rea

This is unambiguously illegal and Facebook could stop doing this anytime it wants. Craigslist reminds its users about anti-discrimination laws before they post and provides a means for users to flag illegal ads.

Going to need a citation here, because all of the data says things are getting better. I live in SF, I have worked in mid-market and I edited the Street Sheet and worked directly with homeless people for several years. I'm not super in

It's hilarious to me that this exact same newspaper ran an article less than a week ago showing that by all available measures, homelessness is improving and there are fewer people on the streets in San Francisco. ( https:/&#x2F

I get downvotes every time I say this but I'm going to keep doing it anyway: If the only reason you're in the Bay Area is for work, if you have no other attachment to the culture or history or land here, do yourself and everyone e

Not bad for a employee organizing once a year single week event This is flatly, obviously, knowably wrong. Burning Man organizes dozens of events all around the world year-round.

If you're paying for this, why bother traveling? If you just want to be surrounded by like-minded laptop-bound people that are just like you, why leave home?

Pretty tired of startupland using this idea as a shibboleth. Eventually, you're going to have to answer the charge of "Silicon Valley is just building a bunch of useless bullshit" with something that actually is not. Moving m

Craigslist routinely takes down discriminatory housing and job ads and have been doing that at least since I started using it around 2005.

The headline on this article is misleading, but: "Just-released numbers from January’s homeless count, conducted every two years as a requirement to receive federal funds, show a very slight decrease. The drop is attributed to fewer fa
