Most people don't have TSA precheck because they don't fly enough to bother doing it or don't know anything about it so don't research it further. If you are rich you're flying in business/first class or have e

I'm so jaded by expert opinion these days. For decades doctors have been recommending a low-fat, high carb diet and saying things like saturated fats are bad for you. It's becoming very clear that there's no evidence this is

Having used Face ID on the iPhone X for 2 months now I would be more surprised if we didn’t open doors with our faces in a few years.

It’s $100 for 5 years for both programs...I think anyone who can afford a plane ticket could afford this if they wanted to. If anything you’re agreeing to speedier service in exchange for reduced privacy through greater surveillance on your

I actually find SFO to be a really nice airport, especially Terminal 2. It's compact, which makes it easy to navigate, yet as a major hub has direct flights to a lot of domestic/Asian/European destinations. It's also rel

Probably true...I'm gay and have ~2500 matches on Tinder while being pretty discerning (I swipe right maybe 10% of the time). Also agree that if you are just looking for a "hookup" being gay makes it many times easier to do

Not trying to overgeneralize but there’s definitely a correlation between poverty and gang activity. I’m also not necessarily suggesting gentrification is a net positive, just a big factor in declining crime rates in NYC. In Manhattan, I th

As a former SF resident now living in Manhattan I can definitely say I generally feel much safer in NYC than I did in SF. I’m guessing it’s a combination of the fact that most of Manhattan is so gentrified that there are few pockets of poor

Step one is getting to consensus on sugar = toxic, then refined carbs = bad, then getting people to stop believing we were evolved to eat consistently throughout the day everyday It’s amazing that “you are what you eat” has become so contro

I don't think they're scrambling. The A350 is their 787 competitor and looks amazing. Can't wait to try it out.

I think the frenzy around bitcoin has just exposed the fact that many people in tech are in it for the money and don't really care about building products that positively "change the world."

In theory, it seems like it would make sense for Reno to grow into a tech hub over the next 10 years. Pros: close to Bay Area, next to Lake Tahoe, no state income tax, huge long-term investments from Apple/Tesla, lower cost of living.

Yes, I agree and should've said that I'm not for banning internet porn, but I do believe it's harmful in the same way that nicotine or addictive drugs are. I wouldn't support a system where the gov't forces ISPs to

Sure, but how many millions of young people watch or are addicted to porn and how many of their parents know or know how to stop them from doing it?
