Free to use… what’s the business model? Where are you looking to expand?

I hope they don’t slowly make the experience crappier over time like they did for Whole Foods.

This website makes it easy. I looked up West Portal and there are several homes paying 1-3K, many in the 15-20K, and some 30K+ https://www.officialdata.org/ca-property-tax/#37.74219147779...

San Francisco (all of CA) has very low property taxes compared to non-CA cities. Because of Prop 13, property taxes are limited to 1% of the purchase price of the home (appraised values can change a max of 2%/yr). As a result, my neigh

Got snail mail advertising this today. I thought it was strange for a restaurant group to be advertising a year out. Had no idea it was NFT related. I still don’t understand what this is supposed to be, other than the usual crypto ape BS.

I take it back. I don’t know any Nobel winners directly but know a few one degree of separation out (Physics, Econ, and two Biology), and the people I know who worked with them all said good things about them. However, go down a notch to ju

It seems as if compassion and empathy are orthogonal to brilliance. I hear enough stories that fall on both ends of the spectrum (tech founders appear to lean asshole, but amongst Nobel prize winners, I feel it's more balanced) that I

It’s kind of the opposite of that. Almost all of the value in music comes at the “head”. Something like 80% of the value is in the top 100K tracks and 95%+ in the top 1M. 100K tracks are added each week but most don’t have any commercial va

Does watching PBS Kids or Disney+ count? What about YouTube Kids or YouTube? The point being that almost all content is on the Internet now. I guess your reply can be seen as a good faith response because if you block everything, there’s no

This also explains why the value of catalogs has gone through the roof. This is evident by the huge valuations of the majors eg Universal going public, indie publishers such as Reservoir and Hipgnosis, and artist and writer catalogs eg Quee

Comcast charges me if I use more than 1TB/mo, so higher bandwidth just means I’m more likely to go over.

Additional context: it wasn’t until 2015 that Walmart raised its minimum wage from the federal minimum to $9/hr. It’s now $12.

Amazon has significantly increased wages. They were at the forefront of the $15 wage, more than double the federal minimum wage. I think at the time Walmart was at $10 or $11. I live in very liberal SF but outside of my bubble, I hear peo

Correct, that's why it's in the top. Your example further confirms why the author's methodology is broken.

I downloaded the file and looked at the second 000 in his file, which refers to wixsite.com. It appears that wixsite.com isn't valid but www.wixsite.com is, and redirects to wix.com. It's misleading to say that the sites are dead.

In California, schools get paid on daily attendance. I believe it would be considered fraud to not take daily attendance. They suspended this during the heart of the pandemic but it came back last fall. Because daily attendance is down rela
