I just want to give one more example. I wanted to watch “Just Beyond” (2021 Disney), but it’s impossible to find anywhere. So what am I supposed to do?

While pitched as “helping people,” California’s fast-food minimum wage law has a different goal: reshaping the state’s tourism appeal. By making dining out feel more distinctive (and by nudging the market toward small restaurants and local

OK - so we are not crazy. The official response seems to be: set reasoning to the lowest and service_tier to priority, and it should work as fast as GPT-4o. But that is not the case. They are probably still tuning it. Or maybe GPT-5 is not

> If true … I don’t know about his investments, but one fact is clear: he was CEO of Cadence Design Systems, which has just pleaded guilty to federal charges for exporting technology to China. That alone should make him ineligible to lea

The key question is this: how did the board of directors hire him knowing he had been subpoenaed to testify regarding Cadence Design Systems, and that the company has now agreed to plead guilty.

That is not accurate. Research consistently shows that gas line pollution, lack of bike infrastructure, racial inequality, and climate change are the most significant stressors. \s ( Sorry for sarcasm :)

Intel just cannot get a break. This does seem like the case of national security concerns - not really Trump being Trump. I doubt the board would approve him as CEO if they knew he’d been subpoenaed in the Cadence matter.

The key of the new proposal is how they are going to define zones (neighbourhoods). Knowing the politics in SF, I think they will probably say that zone is 7-miles radius (and SF is 49 square miles).

Essentially, this was the cheapest solution for our “limousine liberals” to address the problem of racial and economic segregation in San Francisco’s public schools. The idea was simple: since schools in areas like Hunter’s Point struggle,

Children may not attend their neighborhood school in SFUSD because the system prioritizes diversity, equity, and access over proximity. They do that to address racial and economic segregation but basically it was the cheapest way to solve t

I completely agree. Though implementing it is far easier said than done. Here in San Francisco (and much of California), things are incredibly complicated. Take this example: in SF, there’s a policy that prevents kids from attending element

The percentage of Asian drivers is less than 1%. Maybe that’s a bigger factor than the speed limit? Apologies for the joke but I want to emphasize that there are so many variables at play here. My theory is that it is because they have bett

Maybe Helsinki isn’t special: just fewer cars. And they apparently only 21% of daily trips used a private car. Helsinki has about 3x fewer vehicles per capita than the average U.S. city. So it’s not surprising it’s safer since fewer cars me

In San Francisco, the housing crisis poses a far greater and more immediate threat to children’s well-being than this issue. Lack of stable, affordable housing affects everything: education, health, safety, and long-term opportunity. We can

In other news, San Francisco rents are up $223 from a year ago, with median rent rising 11% year-over-year [1]. But hey, at least we’re safe from the dangers of gas stoves. /s [1] https://www.zillow.com/rental-manager&#

> Rents are high because landlords are greedy I understand the frustration, but it’s probably unfair to single out landlords specifically. Greed isn’t unique to landlords: it’s a universal human trait. We’re all greedy. History reminds u

Let me give you a concrete example. In Sunset (San Francisco), most houses still have 100–150 amp electrical panels. To support full electrification these panels typically need to be upgraded to 200 or maybe 300 amps. That upgrade alone cos

San Francisco home prices have increased approximately 2.5 to 2.6 times over the past 25 years after adjusting for inflation [1]. Nominal prices in San Francisco grew by over four‑fold in 25 years. I bet the reason for this rule that house

The very big issue in San Francisco is the severe lack of affordable housing. When renovations become significantly more expensive, those costs inevitably get passed on to renters: making the crisis even worse. If regulations like these are

I’m not sure where you live, but in my case, I wasn’t even able to get home insurance without an automatic gas shutoff valve. Our policy also required an automatic shutoff for water. So in that sense, earthquake safety is already being addr

This is an excellent way to solve the housing crisis in San Francisco: sarcasm fully intended. Stories like this just reinforce the obvious: the housing crisis is a problem of our own making. Wealthy residents and NIMBYs consistently show t

This is a brilliant move by Google: it makes joining any AI startup even less appealing. Stock options were always a lottery. But this takes the shenanigans to a whole new level.

When joining a startup, the most important factor isn’t the idea, product, or the VCs: it’s the founder(s). Think like an investor. Would you back this person? Are they ethical? Are they resilient? Also stock options should not be high on t

I doubt - all my information was always 100% public. It is not like “warranty” calls and other crap are new to me. It is just that volume is increasing. There is something more going on.
