Dude, like you, I'm also Mexican. My parents live in Guanajuato state. My entire family has been affected by what's been happening in Mexico. I never argued that the entities are monolithic block, which would be an absurd claim to

This would be similar to the French model, which allows youths born in France (except in Mayotte) to non-French parents between the ages of 13 and 16 to become naturalized by decree if they have lived in France for at least five years since

I've been waiting for something like this. I've got most of my emails, text messages and social media posts since 1997. One day I'm going to load it all up on something like this.

Maybe I am in the minority, but I've been a Proton user since 2016 and a paying customer since 2017 and I'm excited about this acquisition. I use AnyType for note taking, but Standard Notes is a solid alternative and I am excited

This is the problem with the huge wealth inequality that billionaires and centi-millionaires represent. Anyone is welcome to have political opinions; some will be good, some will be bad. But these folks can leverage their wealth to project

Most calendars still use internal cycles. These two calendars are more comparable to the astronomical Julian Day.

I am glad to see Schon DSGN there. I got myself a brass "Pocket Six" a few years ago and it is amazing. I use it daily. It is small and write like a dream. The owner now makes his own nib, which looks amazing. Highly recommended.

The Long Count, part of the calendar, was in use until quite recently and may still be used in parts of Guatemala, so there is some continuity.

Absolutely. Years ago I made what is essentially a Unix time / Maya Long Count converter and I was very pleased with how similar they were in concept (i.e. counting seconds or days from a particular epoch) with the only major differenc

I have lived in SF for 11 years. I have worked for nonprofits and ran small businesses, on top of being a renter, so I'm not raking in the big bucks. Before moving here, I lived in Switzerland, Mexico, Canada and the South. I have had

That's certainly a factor. Commercial corridors became commercial corridors in SF because they were more accessible for horse and carriage back in the 1850-90s since they were flat, the same reason why they are the ideal bike routes ar

All the same constraints apply to San Francisco! What little parking exists is expensive and traffic is so bad that getting around by bike is nine times out of ten faster than driving or even transit. That's why SF making (slow) progre

Neighborhood greenways and bike boulevards are becoming more and more common in the US and within professional bike advocacy circles. The reason why these treatments aren't front and center is because people are being hurt and killed o

It is maddening, but I also understand where some Polk merchants are coming from. They're being asked to stake their livelihood on a relatively radical proposal, at least by American standards. I would like to see the City create some

These lessons are a constant part of dialogue here in the US, particularly in cities like SF and NY. I would even call them universal. The challenge is convincing folks that they are applicable to their street. Most people here are so attac

History should be more than being "reminded". Few American could name the three largest Native nations today, much less 100 years ago, or what their systems of government, leaders, or social structures were. I learned a lot in sch

Very interesting visualization. It complements the recent release of An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, an excellent introduction to a consistently ignored aspect of US History. http:/&

Norse presence in Artic North America is neither controversial or new. This discovery isn't terribly surprising, considering their settlements in Newfoundland and Greenland. That said, there's no evidence to suggest there was any
