If you took half a dozen normal-sized detached American houses and their yards, put all the houses right next to each other and all the land in a contiguous polygon, you'd have a way better place for all the children to play, just as m

It is the most-dense city save for NYC, which is ten times larger. Which is my point: people think of it as dense but in reality most of it is suburban in character. There’s no need for skyscrapers to change this. A handful of 5-story build

American big cities are not that dense. 80% of San Francisco is detached single-family housing.

Western cities have only themselves to blame for turning housing into an appreciating asset. Housing is not supposed to appreciate and if it does not then nobody would speculate in it. In cities where they just build housing, like Vienna (t

This article is pretty much wall-to-wall snake oil. The bit at the end is just completely false. Some people, who hadn't really bothered to do the math at the time, believed fifty years ago that spring-closed valves would float at hi

Yes but Berkeley is not in deep orbit, it is central to the 7-million-person Bay Area. The population has doubled in the time since Berkeley decided to freeze itself in amber.

Google has a stronger privacy statement than any other public DNS provider and certainly better than your ISP’s. They provide DNS because a faster web is better for you and for Google.

Berkeley hasn't built a damn thing since Gerald Ford was President, while the population has increased a lot, mostly through longevity rather than the oft-blamed migration. Going rate for a normal sized studio apartment is about $4000

AMP can be served by anybody and browsers will preload likely destinations regardless of AMP or not.

This is not true and you can demonstrate this for yourself by just searching on Google three or four times and looking at the carousel. Only the top stories and breaking news / live coverage carousels require AMP.

It’s kind of amusing the Prometheus has all this traction. When I was at Google we joked about describing borgmon in an “industry-disabling paper”. Such are the horrors of borgmon. But the whole industry has embraced Prometheus which is jus

That analysis commits a variety of errors. For example, they rank Warm Springs as the most reliable with “only” 5 days of downtime in the last two years. Unfortunately at that time the station had only been open for 60 days.

The idea that hobo feces are responsible for BART's escalator problems is really an urban legend. It's the design of the damned thing, combined with statutorily mandated low-bid contracting that keeps them broken. At BART's

Why is it up to the younger generation to call off the inter-generational war? Facts are facts. 65 and older are now the least likely age group to live in poverty. Net wealth of people 65 and up has increased 50% since 1989 and fallen for a
