"Something bad happened to my friend" =/= "Things are getting worse". I've been jumped walking down the street in SF, and also violent crime has been steadily decreasing since I moved here, just as it is now.

It literally is not. I live and work in and around SF, I have worked directly with the homeless, and I pay attention when new data comes out on this subject. You are 100% wrong about this.

NIMBYs in San Francisco scream bloody murder and call it "violence" when developers want to build on empty parking lots. I am not exaggerating. The idea that "geography" is the limiting factor here is willful ignorance.

Converesly, most of the people I know say "get a Lyft" and mean Lyft. I don't really think this is universal.

Yes they are. People keep conflating the ability of commercial bee keepers to keep up with colony collapse with the ability of wild bee populations to survive. They are not the same thing. I don't know about the Netherlands specificall

I buy shirts that are made in San Francisco, but the fabric is almost certainly not made in the U.S. The global supply chain enables products that are in some sense "made locally". Same goes for coffee. So it's totally reason

Remember that time when a well-funded, highly competent state actor stockpiled vulnerabilities when everyone told them not to and the leaked vulnerabilities nearly brought down an entire national health care system?

Didn't Lyft also do basically the same thing in China? I feel like Lyft is a living testament to collaboration being a better business strategy than domination

Why is there any category of worker that you feel doesn't deserve the right to collective bargaining? Why should any group of workers be prevented from organizing for rights and benefits as a group?

While we're on the subject of misleading language, let's talk about why this is always labeled as "pension reform" and not what it actually is, "reducing payments", or even better, "reneging on a contract.

In the future it's going to blow people's minds that software engineers were ever allowed to work on systems that touch people's personal information without a license.

You're making a mistake assuming that I'm using rhetoric to win elections or build a base. I actually believe, because there is ample evidence to support it, that this administration's goal is ethnic cleansing via mass deport

Yes, it is. My understanding is that there are still barriers to producing enough graphene at a large enough scale to make many of its uses commercially viable. http://www.azonano.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=3677

No, you're right, the fact that Donald Trump literally launched his campaign by painting all Mexican immigrants as murderers and rapists is a coincidence, the question of who gets deported and why is purely a technical, legal one havin
