I am not one to claim that what I want is complete equality. Or even anything close. But the richest city in the richest state should not have thousands of people living on the streets and rents so high that nobody working a low or middle t

1) Theres not a serious/viable candidate from another party. 2) I do believe that the candidate I voted for has good ideas on the issues I care about, despite the party's previous failures.

Here's something that has been making me scratch my head lately. San Francisco has had a Democratic mayor from 1964-now. It's widely regarded as the farthest left city in the country besides maybe Berkeley across the bay. Most Dem

Ideally a living wage for the city/state in which they are offered. If that's not possible, then it should be a living wage for a nearby town including the cost(s) of transportation to/from the job.

If you live in SF, go to the Booksmith on Haight street and look up on the walls on the left side of the store. They have the first line of many famous novels, printed without context. I was shocked at how many I knew, even though if it h

While that's true, it's worth remembering that the primary audience for student loans is 17-18 year old high school kids who have a lot of social pressure to go to college and not much financial education.

All the ethics and controversy of ScooterGate aside, this is a good move for those who like these scooters. I've ridden them in SF a few times and they are extremely underpowered. When you hit the slightest incline they go <10mph.

This is a lie that I hear a lot from AI/ML experts. To me it reeks of gatekeeping. Yes the foundations of the field and many of the breakthroughs require this knowledge, but one can be a very effective practicioner of AI/ML tech

Been using 16.04LTS on my personal laptop for a few years, just moved to 18.04. I feel like the biggest improvement by far is the Snap package manager and its integration with the Ubuntu software store. After 10+ years of doing personal c

Have you tried Blendle? It's pay per story and has all of the major paywalled news sources. It also allows you to get a refund after reading an article if you think it was clickbait. Articles are $0.09-0.50 in my experience.

I've got no sense of direction. Zero. I can get lost in my own office or go the wrong way down a street I've been down 100 times. Still, I've noticed that because I bike and walk around when I can I'm much more able to

Wow thousands of jobs! Could you explain: * How do you even send that many applications? Is there some site where you can click thousands of checkboxes and apply? Do you send individual emails? * What modifications do you make when apply

I've ridden a few of these. They're pretty fun and cheap. I actually like the model for trips in the 1mi range. In an ideal world full of well behaved people and good intentions I'd keep them around. But am I the only one

A small fraction of Getaround cars are actually part of their own private fleet. These normally come with Zipcar-like negotiated parking spots. These are my favorite ones to rent when I can.

For a less radical step than giving up news completely, try just giving up 'push' news. For me this meant disabling my Google Now feed, turning off NYTimes notifications, unfollowing all non-human accounts on Facebook, and unsubsc

Fi recently announced some changes for large data users: https://www.engadget.com/2018/01/17/google-project-fi-bill-p... Basically it caps off at $60 after 6GB, is free up to 15GB, and then throttles. That&#x

The regulatory costs of running a bank are much higher now than before the financial crisis. This means that the chance of an upstart challenging the big players has actually gone down, even though some of the regulation was meant to addre

They could always buy from someone else ... but uber seems to have extreme competitor paranoia when it comes to buying any services. I think they also spent $500M to make their own maps when you could use any of the popular mapping APIs out

Thank you for adding this perspective. Honestly I am not sure how to rationalize the dueling thoughts in my head. On one hand, the "just one isn't so bad" argument is rational. In terms of fatalities per mile, self driving ca

I used to do postmates on my bike in San Francisco. Just on the weekends as a way to get paid to work out, I never needed the money. This was in 2015 but I was making $16-20 per hour. Doing it on my bike I had no expenses at all. I'd

Kind of sad when a major player likes Coinbase invites the pure speculators in. Yes I know that 99% of people were just speculating before but at least they had the possibility of transferring their crypto assets off the exchange and using

Isn't the real number just more than the people next to you? Wealth is completely relative. You could feel rich in a poor area with your brand new Camry and feel poor in the Hamptons with your brand new Mercedes.
