You're completely right about the Bay Area. 1. We need more bike lanes. Sensible lanes. They don't need to be huge. 2. We need to allow bikes on the shoulders of highways. (Got a ticket as a kid) 3. Personally, although I hate re

I worked a a cafe called Zesto's while I was in high school. From the outside, it looked wonderful. Really inviting. Wood booths. Just inviting. We served a lot of speciality coffees, and had a small menu. Moosewood recipe soups, b

In the US, many FB'ers friend anyone. I had this girl I worshiped years ago. She finally seemed interested, on a chance encounter. She said, "I'll friend you?" Blah, blah, etc. I got home, and looked her up. She had

I get what you're saying. I would be happy to hit eighty sitting on a couch. It seems where I live, in the Bay Area, the men seem lucky to live to 65, even the ones that exercise. I don't know why. I sometimes think it's o

I think the trick is making it into a habit/addiction. Plus--everyone is physically different. I'm about forty pounds over weight. At this point, I honestly don't know what fat, and muscle. And don't care. I briskly w

Yea, but most of those sensors are needed to get that fossil fuel to burn efficiently, and meet emission mandates. Electric cars would/could be vastly simpler. Simpler if they don't over engineer the vechicles. The current elect

Yea--I noticed the same thing. I'm wondering if it would be different if I had a device I could write on, but not buying anymore readers, at least for awhile. I can bring up parts of a book page in my mind, but I don't think I ca

After the free expose on HN, I like the three letter domain. Didn't know a bit about the company until now. I do wonder what they paid for the domain? I could almost picture the negotiations, 'Hay--because of Google, the price of

These trades are not difficult to break into, except if you want to make a livable wage, and that requires a union. I guarantee anyone of you here, if remotely physically fit, could get a non-union job in construction. Good luck making $10

I perceive a bleak future. I was suprised to learn that the main reason Coal Miners are out of work is because of mining automation. I perceive a world where people just stop buying. Yes--the wealthy will still buy their toys, but their wi

I think they knew solar is the future, all around the world. China has massive pollution, and most homes/businesses that have access to direct sunlight. (Yes--I know solar works 50% on cloudy day. It doesn't work well with a lot

The mobs are not affiliated with New York unions anymore. Yes--for a time it was a big embarrassment. There are some arcane rules. The nepotism in getting into these unions has been greatly reduced. (This guys crane looks like it needs mo

My iPhone 4 takes unbelievable macro pictures. I hate to say this, but better than my Canon 20D, with an L lens. I was thinking about buying a macro lens for Canon, but can't justify the it anymore. Just macro in my world though. Th

This will sound pathetic, and it's partially because I don't have much of a life, and spend way too much time with electronics, but one of my biggest regrets is--- Upgrading. I've always fell for the increased security, and b

I completely agree, until you have a problem that requires you hook a scan tool up to that diagnostic link. I have a snap-on mt2500, and two other generic scan tools. I can get hard codes on most vechicles. I can't get certain codes

I'll throw this in too. If you drive an older vechicle don't enter Tiburon after nightfall. They will pull you over for no reason. The camera was installed because Tiburon had some weird murders. There all involved wealthy resi

What apps do you use to program? I'm too lasy to look it up. Sad--I know. I wouldn't mind front-end programing on my iPad 2, but found it tedious years ago. I remember thinking this will not work--for real work.

Oh--the drama. Yea, I get it. These days we need some healthy excitement. The iPad Pro is the one product I might buy; if I wasen't so poor, and didn't have a slowly dying iPad 2.

We have the exact same policy in the United States. Anyone can pick up a phone and buy realestate. No one calls it corruption here. It's just capitalism? This has bothered me for years. I first learned about it in a realestate law

"That is partially true, of course. Energy saving makes devices more complex, thus they have more things that can be broken. However, it is also clear that e.g. control electronics is simply not made to last. E.g. they use the cheapest

I'm just a patient, but I see the advantage to paper. 1. Once it's on your digital record--it's vunerable to hackers, or staff sending a patient's information off without their consent--with a tired swipe, or send key.

I collect, and repair watches. I usually like stories about watches, and the people who cherish them, but not today. I'm just in a weird mood? This popped out, and made me cringe: "Mechanical watches are far less accurate than

San Francisco provided good jobs way before the tech revolution. I would bet they had better union jobs before tech moved in. You could always live in the outlying areas to commute, and not spend all your money on rent. Tech bosses decided
