Cancelling the policy of allowing non-Precheck into the precheck lanes will be, personally, beneficial in the short term. I wish there was actually a comparison of effectiveness of DHS agents vs private contractors like those at SFO.

Currently living up in the Sierras along the Feather River, it's no surprise the amount of water that went rushing down into the Oroville reservoir. Even at about 4500 feet, you had about 3-4 feet of snow that ended up being melted by

A classic comment from the CEO of a startup I worked at during an all hands after a new round of funding, someone asked about dilution. The CEO (with a straight face) said, "you weren't diluted, the share price increased."

Also missing from things is the fact that more rural parts of the west coast are much more conservative than areas close to the ocean. Look up continued interest in the State of Jefferson.

I've never had a problem with Java the language being heavy. However, many code bases due to annotations, dependency injection, etc. from a development perspective really aren't any longer Java. You need to understand the code b

I don't know if it has changed, but one thing I enjoyed about living in Finland in the early 2000s was that a janitor and a director at a company were given the same respect. If was more about contributing to the society. Your comment

The reality of owning in the Bay Area, the history, and the current state of affairs is apparently so far from what the utopia HN would propose... you aren't suddenly turning a 30yo Ranch development into a source for housing... The in

I've lived in Europe. I've lived in the east bay when the whole Fremont to Walnut Creek 680 corridor was orchards and fields. I lived in Almaden Valley when it was orchards. My definition of built out is simple -- municipalities

For history sake, before everything from Almaden up to Page Mill was basically built out, Highway 85 between 17 opened up (realistically) around 1994. Within about a month of it opening, if you were driving from the south on 17, it was fas

Down vote with no comment on reality of Bay Area housing dynamics? I'm a native, lived from the east bay down to Santa Cruz. The answer to every housing problem is not build more density. Sorry, the valley was built as a suburban spr

Typical HN response. If an area is basically built out (which most of Silicon Valley is), how do you build more housing? And no, the answer is not change zoning laws and build apartment towers -- places like Mountain View, Palo Alto, Cup

Santa Cruz gets enough rain to sustain itself. However, adding a new reservoir was stopped in the 80s. The area is beautiful, but the same people who preserved a lot of what is special about the place also put policies in place that are d

There are groups of people that seem to think that sacrificing local experience should be shoved aside solely on the basis to add more Housing should be the most important thing.

No. Those policies are in place because planning makes sense. Not everywhere should be tear down and build up in all conditions. How about the French quarter of New Orleans or historic districts of other cities? This argument always shows
