I don't see the "hill bomb", but I see a bunch of kids swarming and climbing on a stopped car with, I'd wager, a frightened driver inside. Seems like those kids are lucky the driver didn't floor it trying to protect

If the cabs are half the price of a rideshare and they have typically have to wait in those long taxi lines before a fare, how are those drivers not the ones being more exploited? Lyft/Uber take 20-25% of the fare, so the ride share dr

I had the same issues with airport trips and taxis, frequently having to build in an extra 1-2 hours on top of the typical airport buffer to make sure I'd get there. So many no-shows, empty promises, and lies by dispatch. So many scams

I had wondered if the engine bit was still necessary, thank you.

Cold weather primarily. You need the engine to warm up before driving and it’s much nicer to have the heater warm up the car and loosen ice on the windows. You can run outside and start the car then come back, as I did growing up in a cold

Not really, they are going after Juul but not the other providers. Juul already got devastated by the flavored cartridge ban, but the FDA allows any flavors in disposable ecigs so users just switched to those or went online. The policy and

As usual the truth is somewhere in the middle. I’ve seen nearly $1m in development cost and a year of time lost to the complexity demon due to big brains playing AWS Service Bingo while a competitor hired a single grug to do the same task.

Chrome, Safari, Edge, and Mozilla have the advantage of many eyes on them. I may not trust them but they are known unknowns. Brave is niche and very much an unknown unknown to me. They are innovative, moving quickly, and don’t appear too co

My reading of their rules is that you don’t need to become a citizen. You need to have a government issued ID from the country you reside in. That seems rather simple if you are a legal resident, at least for any Western country.

Twitter is incredibly important to him, without it he’d never have been able to craft his Tesla or SpaceX narratives and garner so much retail support. Buying Twitter guarantees him a (bully) pulpit and raises his profile ever higher. His a

Right, he wants out of the deal on the terms but I don’t think it’s the $1B he’s worried about. It’s the embarrassment of either having to pay the break up fee or overpaying so much at $54.20. His ego is at stake, he’s called many things bu

75% of people like the idea of “right to repair” but that doesn’t mean they would support this particular implementation if they knew the details and side effects. Committees in the ideal allow a more nuanced examination and development of

It’s pretty easy for the highly paid and wealthy to insulate themselves from the problems of any city and live in a bubble of comfort. SF is becoming more challenging to do so in, but far from impossible. It’s the lower and middle classes t

Conveniently, this bill sounds like it will also help protect the profits of our parasitic payment networks. WePay/AliPay merchant fees are around 0.6%, competing against that could dull some shine. I’m not claiming it’s the only or m

Bitcoin hit nearly these lows twice last year in January and July. The crypto market has always been highly volatile, crashes are routine.

Isn’t that because you converted your ETH to ETH2 for staking? They are pretty clear ETH2 cannot be transferred or traded, and it’s because the ETH2 network isn’t ready yet, not some sinister plan of theirs.
