I recommend you look at each member of the SF board of supervisors ( https://sfbos.org/ , each member has a descriptive blurb if you click on their name), and if you can find their campaign websites as well, it will give you

I used to consider myself a supporter of Sanders, and even thinking from that perspective ... no, you clearly have no clue about the state of political rhetoric in San Francisco over the last decade.

There's been a lot of tangible, tactical legislation that is just gearing up, so I'm optimistic. Look at the record of state senator Scott Wiener. He's proven there's political will in areas that seemed hopeless ten year

In San Francisco, the Democratic politicians are most certainly on the left, even the "moderate" wing. Look at candidate statements from any of the past decade of elections for any city-wide position, and find us anything that sou

I think people are realizing more and more that failure to build up is a failure to help less well-off neighborhoods. The bad part of gentrification is displacement, not that some buildings might look new and desirable. SF politicians still

Constant acceleration, or did you mean velocity? I'm imagining that the magstripe data must be unevenly spaced for constant acceleration to make sense?

I was on Market street today around 6pm and it was crowded, loud, full of life. And that's even on a slightly rainy Wednesday. You clearly haven't been so recently?

Indeed, much of the recently new administrative office space at my university was dedicated to workers tasked with securing funding. I imagine some combination of grant writing, lobbying, and compliance work?

It could be within 30 minutes of correct for nearly everyone, if we decide that's a goal for the system.

On the remote beaches of western Latvia, in the sand are frequent paw tracks left by wolves. I wondered whether they were able to hunt any sea life, or if it is just an easy travel path alongside the pine forests that are immediately alongs

When you find the path you need smoothest is the path from compiling/running code to _correctly working_ code, I think that's where Rust shines. Yes, writing code that will compiler is harder; and yes, you _will_ learn to more eff

At least for the two houses I was in, there were income disparities _within_ each house. It was never much talked about; I only realized it after a couple of years of getting to know individuals better. But I was in two (of the three?) hous

It's not something I would expect to happen in the US today; the 90s were a very different time. Maybe due to 9/11? But the same amount you're impressed here, I as an American am also surprised. It feels like this story is fr

I feel safe only because I'm not afraid of being fired. Not that it wouldn't happen, but that I'm confident I'd find an equally good job without any major pains or setbacks on the chance I am fired. A few months of searc

As someone who is neither, I think it's clear that plenty of democratic socialists are anti-nondemocratic socialism. Surely the biggest critics of a government falsely claiming to pursue an ideology, are those true believers of the ide

I've known several people who worked at LANL, and they reported you might sit around for six months or more waiting on bureaucratic approval for your project. They all agreed: very slow moving, lots of red tape, otherwise fine.

When the relevant timescales are short, and most of the bodies are small (so, weakly interacting), this is not so big an issue mathematically.

The ones I've seen are really more of a half-hearted traffic-calming measure than proper roundabouts. The intersections I can think of, they're in residential neighborhoods and there's just some new island in the middle of a

It makes it easier for the driver/chauffeur to get out and open the passenger's (rear, driver-side) door.

Most of SoMa is old warehouses or auto shops. I'd actually prefer to work in the side of SoMa with the glass office towers, which is the area with very little delinquency (really anything to the east, starting at 4th street, is nicer).

The author mentions power use being a factor. Last I did some research into this, smartphones are by far the most power-efficient general-purpose computers broadly available, using several times less power than something like a raspberry pi

I can try some of these > Is a Fiat currency just 'vibes based economics' ? I'd think of it more like contract-based/trust-based. If a government has promised you can pay your taxes and debts in a fiat currency, and y

Additionally I find that it's easier to add complexity to the loops; once you want to start doing nontrivial things in a list comprehension, you often need to rewrite it into a loop first anyway.

Is the pool of open positions shrinking or growing? That might give a better idea of the rate that companies are able to hire now, compared to before

Even if it's the oldest 5%, _eventually_ you'd reach even lower than 20 because the population isn't growing at anything near a rate of 5% per year, and so you'd run out of people that old quickly. You'd see an expo

This seems so opposite to me to the only example of student activism at MIT that I'm aware of, which was against the closing of Senior House. Administration didn't care about students raising an issue. Students felt totally unhear

I have suspected for a while that the single biggest cause is our lack of a national Land Value Tax (LVT). After all, Henry George predicted a century ago that continued technological progress and wealth creation would also lead to poverty

I don't think it's an excuse to not having kids, but I do think generally I have yet to find an excuse to have kids. So far it doesn't interest me. But still, I do wonder whether there's a good reason for that.
