You could have a mixture of exact scores like for whole cities < https://aqicn.org/map/usa/ > and then combine that with localized scores based on things like being near a freeway. Walk Score isn't an e

A bit unrelated, but I'd love to use a Zillow-like platform but filtering homes for noise pollution, light pollution, air pollution. (Also climate and flooding.) Most people wouldn't use it, because they've basically decided

The picture also shows seven kids! Now, that doesn't mean they're his but lots of kids would still be a pretty good reason for a gigantic car.

When some people leave, the community improves and the site gets more popular as a result. Now, are those the people you're talking about? No idea, I haven't seen who you're referring to and it'd be case-by-case. But p

I'll take this question in good faith. Here's the guideline I suggest: If I were a woman who was considering working with him, would I appreciate a heads-up to maybe be a bit careful around him? It's clarifying to understand

I think this is too harsh. It's fair to acknowledge the reality that doing good things doesn't erase bad things. Even if he has changed, damage that he inflicted onto others lives on. But, yes, I'd rather he fund these great

Putting Sacca's previous bad behavior aside (and I have no idea whether or not we should), the no-jargon descriptions of each of the companies that they've backed is fantastic and I'm excited for each of them. https:/&#

I don't think he's changed at all. He's still incredibly snarky and even sarcastic in a way I don't like, particularly on Twitter, but I don't think has ever had those other traits you're labeled him with.

I hate the dismissiveness of this "hacker" community. Sometimes it's cool to just see what can be done with a technology and it's great that this person documented so others could learn from it or give useful feedback on

It's more than one thing. There are lots of different people involved with a mixture of motivations. It's not just playing out in a single forum, either. And while I'd agree making a "quick buck" is a driving factor
