They spend it on artificially low prices, often charging the riders even less than they pay the drivers in markets where they are new and growing. The idea is that they will get a …

The thing about Microsoft’s stuff is that it slowly but inexorably gets better over time. Like a watched pot, if you are waiting for a feature it will never arrive but if you walk …

Another thing in OneNote’s favor is you know it’s going to stick around because they sell it to businesses. With Evernote it seems like they could run out of money and with Google …

I like how you are the expert on when pot smoking on the street in my neighborhood became a thing, despite not knowing what neighborhood I’m even talking about.

Do what, exactly? Make a normative recommendation like “you gotta?”

Lot of equations here. A non mathematical way to understand it is to look at societies where men can marry multiple wives. The rich and high status men have several leaving many me…

Which school district are you referring to? We are looking for a competitive, challenging school district without a suicide problem.

Who is “we”? Public schools at the local level in the US are very diverse. If you have the money you can find public school systems as good as Ivy League colleges, with a self-sele…

Lowering educational standards to meet the needs of the 20th percentile student is preternaturally stupid and is why we’ll be moving out of San Francisco before our kids are in sch…

You gotta learn the poker face. I can be in a technical meeting with a woman and be playing a graphic sex fantasy with her on a background thread.

Maybe mine did as well. Yes, there are plenty of places where smoking pot transcends class. 6th and Market, Geary and Leavenworth, 3rd and Brannan even. Keep the low income housing…

Yes, because without appropriate guidance and modeling, people create Hobbesian dystopias. Countries like Finland and even the US are anomalies which need costly, active, intervent…

It’s even more wrong to portray prisoners as a bunch of hapless victims. I’ve had to interact with prisoners in a previous career and less than 10% are people I would allow in my h…

I’m not asking SFPD to ticket these guys, I’m just asking policymakers to not import them into my neighborhood of luxury condos and families with small children.

They didn’t in my neighborhood before the introduction of this complex. I assume that the neighborhoods you’re referencing may be where they moved in from, and it’s there that I pr…

Obviously, not all low income people are alike. But in nearby San Francisco, they built a low income housing complex near my house, and now there are people outside the entryway sm…

The thing is that because the highest-ROI application of machine learning is online advertising, unquestionably the two deepest pools of machine learning talent are at Google and F…

It’s a misconception that the only good political actions are nonviolent. Many great political actions have had a large violent component, including those written down in the histo…

But hasn’t someone solved this inefficiency? Hasn’t someone created a marketplace for buyers and sellers of PhD-level data analysis to find each other?

Good to see Zuck admit loss in a couple of these issues. Now it’s up to the regulators to take the ball to the net.

Hit the pavement how? How does one find people with data analysis needs?

My wife is looking for work in data science, on a contract basis in the $50-100/hr range. She has a PhD in biology with a data-analysis approach and has worked in the industry for …

Learning a language as an adult is completely different from learning as a kid. Your hypothetical “dumbest French person” would not have been able to learn French as an adult, the …

The question is what the intention was. A carpenter doing models for IKEA would be expected to design for million-unit volumes from the start.

A nuclear power plant failure, in the worst case, is much worse than the worst case pilot error.
