Great idea! I wish I could provide an imgix api key and use it with this, because we need to use our own CDN for images. But this would take a lot of hassle out!

Very few make or believe that argument. There's absolutely nothing wrong with wishing that things had gone a little better than they did at the time. We can still believe in a more humane world while still greatly appreciating the bene

If you want to stand behind the science, then you must also stand behind the fact that our climate models are faulty and inaccurate. I say that as a climate activist myself.

First of all, I will point out that he brings up the “context” of facts as a vehicle for an agenda early in the book. The book can essentially be described as a critical reading and overview of the IPCC reports. And, yes, I do not agree wit

Most of Koonin’s sources are directly from the IPCC reports, in fact they are what the book is based around.

I recommend the book “Unsettled” by Steven Koonan for a more empirical look at how these computer models work, and the deficiencies of trying to predict catastrophe with them. For instance, every climate model is wildly off when it tries to

I'll share my experience as a proud SF resident of 6 years. The quality of life here decreased dramatically through 2020 for obvious reasons. Now, it seems like the city is much more alive. Restaurants, bars, etc are all open, parks ar

The YC accelerator is really set up to encourage the founders' best qualities and to drive them forward in a supporting environment. The shape and culture of any YC company is almost entirely due to the founders, not YC.

I love the MNT Reform and almost placed an order, but now I’m sort-of glad I decided not to. I’m not sure I can justify spending over $1k for a machine that struggles to run the Grammarly browser extension.

No comment on sex differences in general, but aren’t we past the point where we think of the brain as “separate” from the rest of the body? Microbiomes, hormones, exercise... all of the parts of the body seem to be deeply interconnected and

I certainly never said that homelessness is “just life.” I’m just realistic. San Francisco will probably always have this problem to some extent, and it’s our responsibility as San Franciscans to help alleviate it as much as possible. None

If you’re imagining crime and homelessness, that’s not exactly what I mean by “weirdness” – those are problems that San Francisco needs to fix... and will probably always need to fix.

I may as well represent a different perspective here. I am not leaving San Francisco. It's beautiful here. I'm excited to see it get weirder. I will always choose to live somewhere that is exciting over somewhere that will be the

Without evidence to support these claims, I feel like what you’ve said just sounds like more fear-stoking. It’s also likely that Reddit has become more international, and the world at large leans more left than the current US. Couple that w

In the article they make it fairly clear that the survey was about people’s experiences driving in San Francisco, not general living etc.

It says in the article that these questions were specifically in reference to driving around San Francisco in a car, not general safety.

Worth nothing that the article clarifies that this is in reference to driving — as in "nearly a quarter didn't feel safe on San Francisco's roads at all"

I agree that this is the one thing I'm unsure about. But: a lot of people once said this same argument about cryptocurrency and were amazed at how technically literate drug dealers could actually be, given the right incentives. Regardl
