I'm one of the co-founders of an organization mentioned in the article, GrowSF. We focus on common sense outcomes, not political posturing or national progressive rhetoric. The aut…

The only way we'll fix this is by replacing the ideologues on the Board of Supervisors with forward-thinking leaders who want to grow the city, make it easier for businesses to ope…

With universal vote by mail, expats now don't vote too much earlier than voters in the city. For the June 2022 election, voters in SF received their ballots on May 8. So I think yo…

Thank you! We can only win together :)

We can fix it, but only if we get organized. Sachin Agarwal (co-founder of Posterous) and I founded GrowSF to fix the city. We're less than two years in and already the #2 most inf…

For everyone that lives in San Francisco: the only way we'll be able to fix our city is if we get involved. That means voting and donating to pro-growth and pro-competence politica…

Hire a trainer and learn how to weightlift. You may have been a nerd like me that thought weight lifters were wasting time on vanity, but as you age your body will betray you. You …

I know I'm aphantasic, but never heard of SDAM. Describes me so well! I remember nearly nothing of my life.

I'm nearly completely aphantasic. I can get very brief flashes of images but can't make them happen nor hold them in my mind. I almost never dream. When I do dream it's fairly life…

Well I guess it's good that they're also going to be archiving Jason Scott's mean and abusive tweets. How archive.org doesn't reign in his behavior when he is such a publicly well …

They don't miss Reader, they miss college

I don't understand the hagiography. Any one of us can build a replacement instead of lamenting reader's demise. If you miss reader so much then rebuild it.

As a board member of two nonprofits, I STRONGLY agree with pg. Restricted donations are not only an administerial headache, they strain the donor/recipient relationship and lead to…

I have hypermyopia (-12.5 left, -13 right) and my sister has 20/15 vision. Same childhood environment as her and I needed glasses before I could even read, let alone before I ever …

This is a great answer, thank you for sharing!

What risks are you referring to? I'm taking sertraline (zoloft) now, and the only negatives I'm experiencing are slightly reduced libido and jaw clenching/grinding. I've started oc…

This sounds a lot like the symptoms of depression. I have depression, and the isolation of the pandemic has really worn me down. I went back on my antidepressants about six months …

Do we need to push legislation to ensure unlocked bootloaders? Or even a "click this box to void your warranty and unlock the bootloader".

Get involved in local politics. Go to community meetings. Learn who has power and start building your own. These kinds of things take years. If you don't want to do that, at least …
