I'm looking for a course on MySQL specifically but if we like the program open to more. General requirements is high quality content and not a massive time commitment for any indiv…

I thought the productivity data was interesting but then it stopped right after hack week... Definitely agree, the long term implications are a lot more interesting.

I really recommend this podcast on how negatively this deal affected the town the center piece plant was targeted for. https://gimletmedia.com/shows/reply-all/wbhjwd

This won't fix things. If you look at maximum road capacity for a highway lane it's pretty pitifully in the hundreds. Maximum capacity being exact speed limit driving with minimum …

It's important to remember that the federal government was actively subsidizing the urban exodus to suburbia in the 1940s. The subway became unprofitable due to federal housing pol…

"Whatever reason" is because the quality of life in an urban area is much higher than in a rural "cheap" area. Jobs are centered in urban areas, you can eliminate a huge commute by…

Have they confirmed whether they are giving up on their hardware play or not?

If that is true, don't you think the university had a duty to communicate that? It seems like the u of Chicago promised them a first class institute and is not delivering. If that …

I am happily surprised google assistant not only plays from Spotify but let's you set Spotify as your default music service. No "ask Spotify to play..." just a simple "play..." I f…

I hate this line of logic. San Francisco is already insanely expensive. Letting property crime go untouched is just pushing the cost of that on to those in the city who are already…

That is a very scary future. I too had comments under my name in support of net neutrality in addition to the real comment I filed. Hopefully the Equifax leak (which really seems t…

I think he was pointing out how out of reach buying is. I'm sure a lot of people would like to own that are renting in SF right now but that's just not possible. "Having a roof of …

Can anyone who was at a seed stage startup 5 years ago provide some insight into what salary looked like? I moved here about 2 years ago and constantly here how crazy housing and s…

I can't believe that half the time and about 15% of the budget were all due to permitting delays. That is totally nuts.

In other cities I think the government has your back. The SF police will not respond not a non violent encounter because the court system heavily sympathizes with non violent offen…

I disagree. I think there are certainly people who need mental health/drug counseling but for those that seek it is has to be impossible to get on your feet. I can see a spiral whe…

I moved to SF from New York a couple years ago. A huge difference in the homeless populations for me has been the aggressiveness of the SF homeless. I can't recall a single time in…

This hit the nail on the head for me. Etsy was all the parts I loved about Ebay mashed with the parts of an art fair I loved. It's been on a slow slide to another Ebay in my eyes.

I think I confused the question. Politicians' salaries aren't the 20%, yes that is all salary. But part of the article is discussing the corruption going on here where state employ…

I think the big focus of the article is the "California Rule" that prevents changes to pension commits that have yet to be earned. It's like buying a house and having the real esta…

From the article: "In Los Angeles and other cities, [retirement benefits] account for 20% or more of general fund spending." That is certainly not a minuscule portion.

This is a wonderful series the LATimes has been doing. I encourage everyone to checkout the other articles in here. The one that focused on El Monte was particularly discouraging. …

Is this true? Will he not end up losing most of it in a settlement? If Google can prove he stole their ip (which looks pretty damn likely right now) are they not entitled to any mo…
