It seems a number of factors contribute to this beyond weight: how you drive (braking and accelerating aggressively), what conditions you drive in, the state of your tires, etc. Weight seems to be one easy to understand and affecting factor

L8 at Google is not a random pecking order level. L8s generally have massive systems design experience and decades of software engineering experience at all levels of scale. They make decisions at Google which can have impacts on the workfl

It is really confusing why the government keeps getting in between doctor recommendations and patient needs. Additionally, the use of vaccines for public health outcomes are well documented, so it really is silly to let local districts over

I was going to point this out and surprised you were the only comment bringing it to light. This is a completely unsourced article with one quote from the India Times???

The items he listed have extremely direct impact on YOUR ability to reduce theft. You just suggested something very broad. I might make the point that punishing criminals effectively will potentially reduce overall crime, but has no direct

Taco Bell in SoMa and the one in Tenderloin tended to have a lot of strung out, mentally ill, or homeless persons. It was nice that they were allowed to take a seat and enjoy water or whatever food they purchased, but it also affects the cl

The only issue with that Cantina is it has a really crap crowd and the quality is mixed on their prep.

Used games + retailers regularly sell games for much cheaper than the online store (which is a monopoly by PS/Xbox)

Is this expensive because of the components or because you feel systems were priced lower in the past and this is a small upgrade? I think for the number of hours people put into it gaming systems are actually quite cheap. You get to have t

Those locations don't have a lot of homeless people just hanging out. Coit Tower is quite the climb.

I actually think it would have an astonishingly high effect. It would reduce the number of cars on the road without proper maintenance, which would generally correlate with drivers who don't care enough to prioritize their vehicle&#x27

The solution to a housing crisis is to limit immigration? Wouldn’t it be to build more dense housing (thereby spurring economic activity and lowering a primary expense of households)???

No, it is likely the rate of return. There is generally no such mention of inflation in investment returns. The alternative to investing your dollar is to put it in a treasury (inflation tracked), so you can compare the value of your money

If you are okay with a deck-building card game, we like Dominion a lot ( https://www.riograndegames.com/games/dominion/ ) The game objective is to use the rotating 10 types of cards in the middle and always availabl

TC isn't TC if it will remain illiquid for a number of years. That is the issue described in the blog post. Founders get great secondary liquidation in each round which helps realize some of those gains. For you as the early employee y

Sure, but this is less possible if your downtown is already full of commercial real estate in towers already. Yes, you could argue further zoning changes on the remaining plots could be turned into towers, but it doesn't provide a guar

I think you might be conflating two issues. Housing in downtown isn't desirable for a populace of people (probably true for those who need more space and/or want to think about issues like schooling etc.) and downtown isn't b

I have a great idea of Whatsapp's marketshare globally. I am simply pointing out the ad revenue of Whatsapp is extremely low compared to their other properties. There is simply not enough surface area in Whatsapp used for that and thei

I think this is the same thing I feel when I read Meta's earnings. I continue to see growth in usage of their core properties but I don't think my entire circle touches Facebook or even Instagram nearly as much. Whatsapp certainly

This is the equivalent of a CEO/C-suite delegating decision making to various teams and leaders below them. They still add laws and appoint the leaders of those organizations, but can't be involved in every decision. Can't ex

Excellent, you agree that it is bad now. The only thing that will make it better is non-exclusivity with venues and no monopoly power in ticketing systems. Then people can iterate and appeal to customers for their purchasing power. As I sai
