We provide a wealth safety net to insure against large loss of capital, think TARP, so then some portion of benefits from large increases should also be shared. It is unfair to ask a country to socialize your losses, but not benefit from yo

It is so frustrating that Apple has gotten away with such developer and user hostility for so long. Maybe this will be the breaking point?

I'm sure both Uber and Lyft have contingency plans to quickly hire drivers as employees. It is more they don't want to switch to the employee model and then back again if the Prop passes

Elon Musk is incredibly stupid, and for the good of Tesla the board should kick him out. Tesla and Alameda County agreed to a plan to re-open on May 18th. Elon Musk should have stuck with that plan. Now he has increased the odds of his empl

There are jobs where independent contractor vs. employee classification is difficult, but Uber and Lyft are the most straightforward classification. Of course, taxi drivers are employees of taxi companies. What other industry are the primar

By the time Classic and Rosetta were retired I didn't miss them because everything I cared about had gotten upgraded. This is not true of my 32 bit apps. For some reason people were still releasing 32 bit apps as late as this year. May

I have too many 32bit games that will never be updated to 64bit. For the first time in 18 years, I am not going to upgrade to the latest mac os. Apple orchestrated a much smoother transition from OS 9 to OS X and RISC to x84 than from 32bit

Every tenant, regardless of what county they live in, needs basic protections for their home. This law is not targeted at SF per-se because SF already has strong rental protections, this law offers the bare minimum of protection for everyo

We currently have a drastic under provision of a good to the tune of 3.5 million homes in CA alone. This under provision is not because building new homes isn't profitable, it is because realtors, landlords and homeowners are actively

We are so very very far above market equilibrium rents. Even if CA did something drastic and limited rents to say $500 per bedroom it would still be profitable to build more housing. Lack of profit incentives is NOT what is blocking housing

Bay Area has more jobs than it does housing for the people who work those jobs. There just isn't an option for everyone to move away from the bay area and still have work. Take your "I've got mine so screw everyone else"

Imagine a world where instead of having to strap your screaming kids in to a car seat for an hour drive in traffic, you walked along a pedestrian street, your kids kicking a ball around, you visit a couple stores, see your kids off to their

This type of app would have been possible to build without a VPN on any other OS. Apple has chosen to make it difficult for anyone other than themselves to build such apps. This is an abuse of market position in one market to expand in anot

Come on. Most users want their "chrome google account" to be the same as their "web google account", and it is confusing when they aren't. You can argue it is unethical to build tech for the military. But you have a

We have the option to accommodate everyone at a price they can afford by building more housing, why not take that option?

Think about that for a moment. People come to SF to visit the attractions at the high density parts e.g fisherman's wharf, union square, chinatown, ghirardelli square, coit tower, etc. Look at a standard tourist map of SF: https:&#x2F

Thanks for reminding us all of this. I just supported them.

I don't understand how you can both state that Uber isn't good, but also want us to stop working to make Uber and the rest of tech better? Many companies, like Uber, have a hostile work environment for 50% of the workforce, and th

This is a solved problem. It's called trains. Visit Switzerland and you'll see that it is superfluous to build all this expensive infrastructure just to stick your personal car on a train. Riding in a train is bigger, way more com

Let me get this "Fact" straight. Law enforcement throws a "non-lethal munition" directly at a protester who subsequently loses her arm, but it was probably something else that just happened to coincide with the "non

I think I can help clear up one point here at least. You confused Shell Corporation with Holding Company. There is nothing "shell" about a multinational conglomerate. As to your other points, I'll refer you to my original pos
