I think you are straw manning vs steel manning the argument. I don't think people mind the inclusion of LGBQT or POC people in shows. I don't think people mind even the occasional artificial inclusions - e.g. Mr. Rogers did a grea

Did anyone actually beat games of this class 100% without cheating? The whole era of Monkey Island, Grim Fandango, Indiana Jones, etc had so many random little "make this thing interact with that thing" I know as a kid I had to oc

Yes, exactly this. It doesn't really solve any problems (see my other comments - you can literally find affordable housing units propped up as vacation rentals on AirBnB). Putting huge apartment buildings in 1,000 person towns is very

My point is that people advocate for these projects so the people who can work in the town can live in the town. So, if someone from out of town who can't work moves in, it undermines the point of the project. In that sense, the disabi

You can look at the Marin County Housing Element ( https://www.marincounty.org/depts/cd/divisions/planning/hous... ) The county, based on state mandate, is requiring unincorporated Marin to build in the th

It was a rural backwater years ago. I'm 38 and of the transition generation. It was always a bit touristy but many of the older folks who live there were hippies who wanted a cheap place to live far away from it all. I hear stories of

I acknowledge this - I am trying to point out that this is a complicated problem and even the people who would ostensibly benefit don't like the tops down state driven approach.

I grew up there in the 80s and 90s. It is a really tough challenge. It is important to note that almost all the people, even those forced out due to cost, are opposed to the current affordable housing plans. The statewide legislation is a v

If you talk to the people who grew up here, even the ones who were forced to move due to costs are not supportive of the current affordable housing plans. They want to come back and visit the town they grew up in. For example, I have a care

I think there is obviously a balance. The problem is how it is being done. Currently Marin is going through something they call a housing element. They have hired a consultant group from LA to find lots they think would be good and are just

I'll share an unpopular opinion, loosely in defense of some elements of NIMBYism. I grew up in a small Marin County town called Point Reyes. It had 350 residents when I grew up, now maybe 1,000. The main reason people live there is to

We learned early on that people would very very occasionally use our APP for stalking .000001% of the time. That was easy to fix - we send regular push notifications, we let you know when someone is added to your group, we participate in su

Glad we have you as a customer. UWB is coming - I imagine there will be compatibility and chipset issues in the short run, in particular on Android, but over the long run it will be a game changer. I'm a couple degrees removed from thi

I mean that we do know what it is like when users are stalked with our product - we've heard all sorts of crazy stories over the years about our app being used for stalking - it sucks when we hear it and we help with law enforcement. T

I was a bit worried about posting here because I had a suspicion I would get comments like this which assume I'm here on a PR pitch and clearly come at me with assumptions of negative intent. I'll make a few points: 1) Stalking is

It is a much longer topic but there is some irony that privacy allows Apple and other giant platforms full use of 1st party data however they want. If we are worried about the hive mind (I am personally not) the attention needs to be on the

We are now on record that data from Tile and Jiobit will NEVER be sold. Period. Some of the other stuff on our data practices were highly sensationalized, and we have a privacy center that allows any user - free or paid - to opt in/out

We sold the app in its entirety, which did include data, to a startup run by a former employee. It didn't really get going and the servers are all wound down, so I assume the data is gone into the ether for good (I am 90% confident on

We get I think something on the order of 10,000 customer service tickets a week, and we regularly get subpoenas. We've heard almost every story you can think of. Although we are getting inquiries with this recent press, in terms of act

Hi All, I'm the cofounder and CEO of Life360, which is the relatively new owner of Tile. Stalking hasn't been much of an issue for us, but we are in the process expanding the finding network via our 35 million+ active user base (w

I bet average ROAS is much closer to 1. So many companies have upside down unit economics and the ads never pay off. Even if you have good economics you would not want to see 10x ROAS as it means you’d be massively underspending in a profit

It happened to me at Berkeley in 2005…the seeds were already being sown back then. I only found out years later that I was rejected for being in an apparently inappropriate facebook group. Someone on the committee was offended and that was

I am probably a little bit late here - would have loved to jump in sooner. This is the most twisted reporting that has ever happened to us. We participated in good faith and they cherry picked individual phrases from our written answers and
