It seems to redirect to new Reddit and then redirect back. Is this the beginning of the end for old Reddit?

I don’t disagree with this, but when did this happen? About a decade ago I remember Reddit being pretty decent. Did Reddit change or did I change?

If you are using car play the work around is to have the screen off and use car play without nav full screen (using the view with tiles basically).

It’s obvious the game has changed and while no one has a crystal ball, I’m curious what you all are focusing on to stay employed in tech.

Moderation would be the best. I have gotten a little bit of value from Reddit, Instagram, Facebook, and HN. But most of that value can be captured within a few minutes a day rather…

The HSR route between San Francisco and Los Angeles is under construction. It’s not gone perfectly but it is starting to pick up momentum.

The speed yes it’s not ideal and at a minimum there should be signal priority or just remove at grade crossings entirely, but land use in LA is really really not good for transit. …

I disagree. Look at something like the Chicago el which is a true hub and spoke system. The el needs a ring line since any trip that doesn’t start or end in the loop generally requ…

Once the dust settles we will realize yes LLMs have some applications. But no they don’t need to be integrated into everything.

How does this work with device permissions? Assuming most of these conversations are happening when there is no app in the foreground.

I have, but I’ve also met some LA natives that have never heard the term. It is a real thing, but it’s not universal for everybody.

I can really empathize with this. My wife fought two brain tumors and was repeatedly denied treatment to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars. Can you imagine going through rad…

I mean San Pedro is also part of the city of Los Angeles. LA is basically an hour away from LA.

It’s maybe worse than what you say, because there is a vicious cycle where individuals whose time is absorbed by parasocial relationships are less available to people around them. …

It’s a miracle of marketing that so many people think what brightline has built is high speed rail.

I would love to say this cynicism is unwarranted but it’s nigh impossible to make that case. What transit America is building is either grossly overpriced compared to peer nations,…

Frisco has been said for a long time by black San Franciscans (of which there are currently so few there is literally a movie called the last black man in San Francisco). Cringe if…

Early career - job hop Mid to late career - stay longer unless something is seriously wrong

The US housing crisis is especially acute because the thinking is so local. We don’t have enough housing units in our most economically productive cities so individual actors move …

This does not in any way reflect the America that I live in. The many immigrant communities that have made this city their home have high expectations for their food regardless of …

Psychological safety matters just as much as physical safety. If you think that you won’t see some shit on public transit I welcome you to come to LA and take the red line for a da…

Truly nearly all the public transit infrastructure we have in the US was built decades ago (close to 100% if we’re talking about heavy and commuter rail). This is a shame because c…

Can anyone comment on how this quid pro quo worked? Were sales people making database updates? Was there an internal tool? Or just an internal escalation process to expedite review…

Transit is a false choice if your trip takes 30 min by car and 2 hours by bus. This is why I am not a fan of congestion pricing even though I want a more transit oriented US. The U…

I’m not sure that’s exactly true. Maybe in % increase yes, but are you considering the leverage when buying a home and the money that would have been spent on rent (which can incre…
