Am I the only one who does NOT feel unsafe in SF at all ? I mean, I choose not to walk in TL and SOMA at night. But why would anyone feel unsafe in North Beach, Marina, Russian Hill, Richmond, Sunset, GG park, Lower Haight, Valencia etc. I

And Europe has 10x the rate of Asian cities. What’s your point ? Every country has their own nuances and a city within a country is not devoid of context

A random act of violence can happen anywhere. Objectively, SF is not a dangerous city when it comes to violent crimes. In 2000s, SF was indeed a violent city with triple digit murders.

This is sad news, but as much as I am a critic of SF’s policies around homelessness and drugs, it is not a dangerous city that someone will get murdered. SF has one of the lowest homicide rates of big cities. For some perspective, Oakland h

According to a heavily edited, and biased Twitter files release the only government entity that was censoring stuff was the Trump administration. But it’s unclear what they were censoring as Elon edited that part in his lame attempt to crea

Tesla has very mediocre computer vision AI. I am not an ML engineer, but how does that skill set translate to probably a series of ML programs optimized for very specific problems - for account take overs, for spam, for hate speech, for bot

This doesn’t resonate with me at all about Palo Alto. From Sheraton, it is an easy walk to University Ave, and you are greeted by the cult coffee shop Verve which is at the very end of the strip. You also have Evvia one block away, numerous

My Tesla still phantom brakes. And Tesla has been trying to solve it for, what 10 years ? My rain sensor also barely works. I have seen enough FSD videos and all the scary things it does. There is no way it will be ready to solve the last 1

I agree with you. I used to be in the "driverless car in 10 years" camp. But after driving a Tesla for the last 5 years, I know it is close to 50 years. My Tesla still does phantom braking. So forget about dealing with weather, co

Such a sad news. Even though he would destroy India on a regular basis, I remember being completely awestruck by the amount of spin he could get on a ball. Truly a remarkable cricketer who changed spin balling completely.

I had hoped that I would exercise regularly given the saving in commuting time. I also thought I would be pursue side projects and hobbies aggressively. Instead, I put on 30lbs of weight and are in zoom meetings from 9-6 every day. Commutin

I have never listened to a single episode of Joe Rogan. I still don’t understand why would someone waste their time listening to someone who is not an authority on anything and doesn’t add any value to the audience. There are literally thou

The much bigger impact of Sideways was that it led to a complete transformation of California wine industry. From a mom and pop, ragtag industry with free tasting from the barrel, it is now the epitome of luxury. But Napa, and now Central C

Texas has 4x the population of Washington state, has more urban centers and a much larger state. As a % of population, looks like WA has more migration compared to Texas given your numbers

Hmm, interesting. I live in the East Bay (Walnut Creek) and spent a weekend in Healdsburg. Eating at Single Thread, drinking at Marin Layer, and staying at H2 hotel at the plaza. Seemed to be like SOL has gone up 10x over the last 10 years

This article and similar ones have been written at least a 1000 times for the last decade with a clear political tinge. The poster child is always around how people want to move to Florida and Texas. But somehow it forgets to include Washin

Palm Springs and Scottsdale are magnitudes hotter than LA. When I used to live in Scottsdale, every day between early May and end of September will be above 100. LA weather barely gets into the 90s. Most days it is between 75-85. Also, Palm

Two things I would add to your list: - CEQA reform to now allow single individuals to hold up project - State level zoning guidance (similar to SB 9 / SB 50), where if a developer meets certain zoning guidance, local communities cannot
