You turn toward the wind, then you’ll be more upwind until later. So you retain optionality by having “more room to go downwind”. (Please if we have a more experienced sailor here, do explain it better!) What up-front cost are you thinking

Say you’re piloting a sailboat downwind and there’s an obstacle between you and your destination. You will need to plot a course to circumvent the obstacle. You have a choice to turn the boat toward the wind (edit: not through the the wind,

I saw a good documentary on shell construction in South America as a means to improve access to home ownership, as well as to allow homeowners to significantly customize the homes over time. We don’t see this much in the US but it makes sen

I’m so confused by your comments. How are you carrying your groceries home? Full-sized shopping cart implies car. Car in SF, on the median, means calling an Uber, renting a Zipcar, moving another car in a tandem garage, operating a stacker,

Think Gus’s family of markets in SF. And independent markets like Golden on Church St between Duboce and Market. Other Avenues in the Sunset. And countless ethnic markets across the city. All these will be quicker to get in and out of than

Agree but it’s worth noting that Taco Chronicles did do a very generous episode on American tacos.

What kind of taco do you picture when you think of a hard-shelled taco? I picture American tacos (which are not good tacos, though I wouldn’t say I “disdain” them per se).

Would you say more? Article headline and subtitle say “mandatory”, “required”, and “forced”. Certainly some weak leaders try to have their cake and eat it, by having “fake optional” events, but that seems like a different issue from mandato

There’s a middle ground. We make fun of “stealth mode” start ups and non-technical idea people demanding an NDA for a coffee chat, we should pick on the big companies too, when they take themselves too seriously (Eg. non-Apple companies cop

Heh, I was seeking to level set on “what do words mean” before we get into generosity of interpretation. Context is I’ve seen enough bad behavior online that I believe it is our responsibility to choose our words with intention.
