Because people live here and are telling you that a tornado watch can sometimes be a weekly occurrence in the summer. Tornado warnings are far more rare, but even then, it generall…

I'd venture a guess that's due to better radar and better spotting intelligence. When you can't physically see tornadoes when they're rain-wrapped, but have high confidence that th…

A warming climate makes winters in cities like Chicago more tolerable with each passing year...

I cannot tell you how refreshing it is that this is the top comment. Discussion around these sorts of articles is almost always railroaded with the objections that you've mentioned…

We suspected my 2 y/o son had a dairy allergy, so we started buying pizzas with vegan cheese to see if that relieved any of his symptoms. I thought the flavor was horrid, but my so…

That’s an odd hill to die on. YouTube without ads is a lovely experience for what I’d consider a very reasonable price.

During cabin decompression, you put your oxygen mask on first, then help others.

Read “The Deficit Myth” by Stephanie Kelton, it’s a primer for MMT and covers essentially everything you’re talking about.

The mental gymnastics people will play to behave like Bitcoin is anything but a FOMO ponzi scheme is extremely entertaining. They’ll proselytize this fancy new currency that'll eli…

The nerds (I say that will all due respect) will fight your stance on this until the end of time, but of course you're correct. There have been discussions of distributed GitHub si…

What's the word for racketeering, but when the government does it?

No, they’re soft landings for talented people in failing businesses.

Those seats with wings better be vinyl, otherwise there's going to be a lot of drool that's impossible to clean between flights.

Tech is the same as it ever was, trying to convince yourself otherwise is rewriting history.

What kinda stuff would you do with an extra million?

In the meantime, the market is up 20% since January and PE ratios for the largest companies are still reasonable. Uber’s success or failure has no bearing on the broader health of …

I graduated from college and moved to SF in the mid-00's and it was still a ghost town after the bubble burst. In hindsight, it was the perfect time to come, because rent was still…

That's true, but you'll find that most of the senior GP's still work on Sand Hill, because the vast majority live down there.

It's great when you're fresh out of school, single, and want to bury yourself in the work. It's unbelievably annoying after a few years when you're just trying to have dinner with …

Makes perfect sense. Option 1: buy $1.5M SF condo, continue with the startup rat race even though you effectively won the stock option lottery. Option 2: move back to the Midwest w…

Where is your 4 homes per year stat coming from? It's extremely low.
