This is potentially an overgeneralization: - Not all grocery stores are fungible in the category. Safeway and Whole Foods cater to a very different clientele at different price points - That is a nationwide amount, but locally may be very

Chicago and NYC are probably the two places this critique does not apply to. Take Houston, LA, etc. that are all around the same size, and you'll find a significantly different makeup of housing stock. Take where I live - Seattle - and

This company is the next Theranos, and I don't think it's even that bold of a statement to say. They don't have an engine for a plane that they have yet to fly, for a concept that has limited commercial viability in the first

This is what I came here to say - the answer is "Concierge Medicine" In my experience, that's generally a primary care doctor that has on the order of 1/4th or fewer as many patients, but they all pay a membership fee in

Very much agree with this, I know a number of people that commuted (pre-pandemic) to the East Side (Redmond/Bellevue) that live in North Bend, Monroe, Sultan, etc. These are all cities that are very much part of the 'Seattle area&

It's cloudy, but not necessarily rainy (though there's plenty of that too). Even measuring the "number of days of rain" isn't the right metric for how Seattle gets it's reputation. Look at the "cities with

I don't know the new context, but I will always be thankful to badmodems.com for highlighting the original Puma 6 issue. I was given a modem by my ISP that had a Puma 6 chipset and it was a nightmare - it would completely cut out multi

Some background here, if it's useful. This has been ongoing for quite some time, and has a lot of nuance to it, IMO. The following is my summary as a layperson. I've tried to quote sources wherever possible. - The FCC, which is th

This is how we think about testing for the most part - if a test is 'flaky', it gets looked at very quickly, and if it's not urgent (e.g. the behavior is fine and it's actually a flake), it's skipped in code. Once t

That's part of it, but it's mostly a larger political play around France and Europe being less dependent on the USA as a partner around the world. France has been pushing on 'strategic autonomy' ( https://en.wi

I completely agree with this, and I think the frequency with which people use Zillow is proof that there's a whole lot of advertising to sell around products that are aspirational, detail-heavy and very common for people to think about

Have an anxiety disorder and a fear of failure - you'll always be worried that by not working, you are going to fall behind or something bad is going to happen. I say this partly tongue-in-cheek, but I don't think it's altoge

I would probably add Vancouver, BC -> Seattle -> Portland to that list, but I think that's probably right. The thing is, if we actually added viable rail to all of those cities mentioned, it would be a huge swath of the country,

This is somewhat true, but after picking up skiing, I look forward to the winter weather in Seattle more than I ever did before. It was a huge game changer for me personally - it took a while to pick up, but now I actually look forward to t

To be fair, FT is at least controversial in Germany. Until very recently there was investigation into some of their journalists around Wireguard-related reporting.

I am reminded of the Turning Torso in Malmo, which is 190m and surrounded by nothing anywhere near as tall (the second tallest building in the city, almost 100m shorter, is pretty far away). I would say people don't mind, but the owner

Purely an opinion, but I would guess that range is something that matters significantly less in most of Europe than it does in the USA, to make a broad generalization. Drives are shorter in distance, and charging opportunities are much more

Is that not exactly what the rezoning and increased construction in Seattle is attempting to do? Sounds like you’re frustrated because you’ve been outvoted - it is no more your place than anybody else’s who lives/works here. You can mo
