It's weird to put their Darpa funding together with this decision and then lump the whole thing as Google being confused or hypocritical. Darpa funds fundamental research. They try to look ahead to what the military could use in 15 yea

Lots of shade thrown at Facebook. Instagram and Facebook were the top 2 apps they demoed for reduction.

While this doesn't solve the problem completely, it's interesting that they started. Apple can go all the way down to the system level to anonymize iOS and at make you look like everyone else, much more so than Firefox for instanc

In Idaho the LAW is for bikes to treat stop signs as yield signs, so they must slow and be prepared to stop. They are still at fault for crashing into someone. Colorado and Delaware have similar laws. 14 pedestrians were killed in SF traffi

Regulation would make it pretty good, even a 2-6 company oligopoly would could raise prices enough for very good margins.

Would also love to buy a great electric motorcycle/scooter. It's puzzling how much more robust the ebike market is compared to the electric vespa market. It isn't even a price issue, fancy ebikes are about the same cost. (The

Yeah, it seems like all the little stuff, bikes, ebikes, and electric scooters should Idaho stop. The stuff that kills people should have to do the full stop.

Jump bikes is my current favorite, the scooters seem a little wobbly and the little wheels don't like road cracks. And I like that they lock up and don't end up in bushes. Biking straight up SF hills in jeans without sweating is l

You really can build enough housing to lower prices. Tokyo has. You can get a small Tokyo studio apartment for $700 per month. [1] This is because they build housing. San Francisco, London, New York, and Seattle all don't build housing

A land value tax works well, by removing the gains from land appreciation. This taxes the land value but not the property value, so the land owner captures the value of their improvement but not the value of rising land prices generally. If

The mayor has several levers to speed the construction of housing. More housing would get built with a pro housing mayor.

The highest estimate I can find is 1.5 million homeless in the United States, those who use some shelter during a year. The total number of chronic homeless seems to be 150,000 in the US. [1] The bay area has a population of 7 million peopl

I hadn't decided who to vote for, this helps. There is no more urgent problem in the bay area than housing and there is no way to fix it other than by building more housing. London Breed for mayor it is.

Splitting the vpn/firewall from wireless like a good approach. Any other suggestions for just the vpn/firewall piece?

It does seem quiet. Did a project with them 2 years ago and I'd love to hear what the state of the art is. Some quick googling and wikipedia reading doesn't show any recent updates especially from android and ios, anybody know the

A minor quibble. No one is predicting one but a 9.0 is not really impossible in the bay area. I think a careful seismologist would say "we aren't predicting one". The Tohoku earthquake in Japan for example wasn't predict

I wonder if sometime we'll need to cause a power outage to reboot routers and internet of things products.

Yes but we aren't really sure are we? Like if the ip address gets stored in some open source logging software, it seems like you need to track it down and delete it on request. Or do you? No one seems to know.

Two points. It's not so bad! And it could be really bad! The not so bad case. The 6.9 Loma Prieta 1989 quake killed 63 people. 42 of those deaths were on the highway collapse. And since then we reinforced the highways and any building

It's actually pretty good that there are 5 spots. Bird, Lime, Spin are here now. Lyft has expressed interest. SkipScooters, from 2 of the founders of Boosted skateboards, seems like they might know how to make a great scooter. Maybe Ub

It would be cool to see measurements of people on Survivor or all the alone in wild shows. Like blood glucose, ketones, movement tracking, and sleep. Maybe even a few IQ and strength tests. There's all this great documentary monitoring

Chocolate husk tea is also a tasty switch up. You can have it hot without milk or sugar and it won't be bitter. It has a nice flavor and a little of the theobromine kick. One example: http://tisano.com/

It's the "gaining money by threat" part that makes it a plausibly successful charge. What they do is publishing it in a way likely to lead to more publicity, more harm to reputation unless you pay them. Take the Letterman ext
