A random stall by the road in LA will charge you $10 flat and the same one in SF will ask for $20. Neither will have a screen for tips. THAT would make your SF purchases simply stratospheric. I have lived in Jersey City, NJ and New Orleans,

Moving from LA to SF will definitely give you a sticker shock. I used to buy nice large burritos in DTLA for $10 flat as recently as 2024. That's with tax. Later that year in SF a nice sandwich in random bodegas would cost well over $2

> One is a startup established by one of the first employees of SpaceX, Elon Musk’s rocket firm, which is working on enriching uranium for the nuclear reactors emerging to power AI. Wow. That's some serious shit. For LA especially.

What are some other really useful skills? AI/ML frameworks, data skills, cloud basics, embedded programming, PCB design, sensor integration, front-end, back-end/API, version control? That would just be a start. After that an MI6 h

For a second there I thought it was about public laundromats. Wondered why there were so many washer/driers in such a relatively small city.

He is a US citizen. Anyway, what's going in the US? Is ICE out on the streets literally snatching up people like those stray dog catchers in old cartoons? I left the US at the start of 2025 and LA streets were free from any ICE activit

In this kind of analysis it is always something that is done to or for China. The latter never has any kind of agency. Neither the will nor mind of its own. If that were true China would have stayed a complete and utter shithole no matter t

So far all the headlines focus only on developers and other adjacent knowledge workers. Not enough fear porn. I think the range of everyone replaceable should be expanded. AI will start mining its own rare earths, pumping its own oil and ge

I read Understand by him a really long time ago. I thought it was really good. However at the time I didnt understand the motivation of one of the main characters in it and the ending felt unjustified because of that. Years ago someone post
