A lot of cities have tool libraries as well. I think the author hits the nail on the head though with "high-friction" being the problem. When I rent a tool from the tool library, it puts me under a lot of stress to finish the job

My wife used to believe this, and then she got so sick she nearly needed a blood transfusion. Dietary needs are not universal in the slightest. She cannot have carbs or sugars, but she needs certain kinds of meat like fish or chicken. The o

I have only ever heard of painting actual shapes on to your face with makeup. I imagine that, whatever your technique, you will get noticed and stopped by security. Especially if the makeup obscures how your face looks compared to your phot

Really? My brother is helpless. He searches for any menial job he can find, and there aren't ANY. When he does get a job, it is paying far below the amount needed to pay for housing. If it wasn't for my mom, he would definitely be

I agree whole-heartedly. Every place I've worked, I get the side eye whenever I talk about how the patterns being used are dangerous, and will only get us so far before we have to re-write everything in a panic to handle a new use-case

I agree, it should be fairly simple to weed out what new frameworks actually improve on old ideas and make software easier/faster/better. I definitely think React is one such example in the front-end world. It fixes so many of the

If you have zero savings, and you lose your job, and you run out of money to pay rent, eventually get evicted, you will be homeless. It's really not a hard equation to understand. Once you're out on the streets, getting off them i

I'm genuinely curious how a person can eat very little, and still balloon up to 300 lbs. To keep it off, they have to work out 2 hours every single day? It just seems... insane? I wonder what kind of evolutionary adaptation that is...

People get arrested for CP all the time, even when they are completely innocent. Just being arrested doesn't mean anything. If they are sentenced, and serve time, that's something different. You can get popped for CP just by downl

It doesn't impact drivers by mere seconds. It creates traffic backups all the way across the city. When a driver waits 3 blocks in a row for pedestrians to cross, it creates a backup of probably 30 cars. This is my daily experience in

I think a big part of the problem is that there is too many vague, unspoken rules of the road. Making them explicit would also be impossible because there would be far to much to calculate accurately while driving (for the average person).

The media's outlook on Uber is always very fascinating to me. At least this article got things mostly factually correct, but the amount of times that blatant speculation and rumor have been published about Uber is astounding. Before Ub

What you're describing is despotism... not communism. For the love of all that is holy, please learn what communism is! "...which is a socioeconomic order structured upon the common ownership of the means of production and the abs

It entirely depends on the problem being solved. I am not sure what their ideas are with machine learning, but essentially quantum computers help with parallelization with algorithms that can take advantage of superpositions.

What I want to know is what face data is shared with 3rd parties like snapchat. That seems like the bigger threat, and no one is really discussing that.

I think this phenomenon perpetuates false beliefs along the entire economic spectrum as well. I grew up middle class, and myself and my friends always considered movie stars as the richest people around! When in reality, movie stars have ni

There are plenty of cases where new frameworks come out that allow you to move forward much more rapidly as a dev team. They allow better testing, better code organization, etc. Especially in the Javascript world, it's such a new field

From my personal experience, Airbnb's tend to be a minimum of 15-20% cheaper than 3 star hotel prices. Often times those Airbnb's will offer a 5 star experience. I enjoy hotels, and the convenience, but I prefer nice Airbnb's

If it costs you 500,000,000 dollars to build a building, you need to charge a certain amount of rent for the investment to pan out. Hint: it won't be cheap.

It is a fascinating thought that human intelligence is collective, and that a vast network of specialists is more efficient than a small network of self sufficient producers. I think there is a lot more to study there. That being said, I co

Even if it was easier to build in SF, the cost of investment is SO HUGE, that the only way to recoup it is to make it a luxury high-rise that does nothing for the non-wealthy residents of the city. Developers of new buildings absolutely do

In all of my interactions with the police I've found that they pretty much have a free pass to do whatever they want to. Make up laws, threaten, beat, or kill. The punishment they receive will never measure up to any crime they commit.

I used to work at Uber, and there would always be bad press. Negative spins on just about everything we did. It didn't deter me at the time simply because 90% was totally bogus and completely blown out of proportion. Just like this art

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. Seems like a waste of an article.
