In 2019 I literally almost died from Shigella. It caused a 105° fever and I am grateful for my Spencer for rushing me to San Francisco General Hospital, and to them for saving my l…

It has been cancelled.

Please don’t bring it to their attention. At $0.60/kWh, I cannot afford a new excuse to hike my electric and gas bill. I cannot stand this company. I don’t agree with the practice …

The start of the SF Bay Area shelter in place order was sandwiched right between the sudden loss of my boyfriend (completing suicide), and then two weeks later my best friend (canc…

Ahhh yes. I loved BeOS. I remember how exciting I thought it was when it came to Intel x86, for free. As a 12 year old, I was an early promoter of platform agnosticism. I installed…

Elon, enjoy Texas (or Nevada...) Hope it goes well for you. Tip: Don't tell them you are a California transplant. I'd personally consider Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, Indian…

For me, iCloud would be worse. While I’d be sad to lose my Google Voice number in use since 2010; I’ve been using my iCloud account since the day it was launched as iTools. I have …

Would the Underwriters Laboratory even certify this nonsense?

It makes me question the methodology Tesla uses for refurbishing and reselling a lemon. It would’ve been pretty easy to restore non autopilot software (as this event shows) before …

It’s a shame. One only has to look at San Francisco‘s current zoning map to understand why this bill was important to solving the housing crisis in the state. https://sfplanning.or…

Sounds very promising; but my guess is limited used in vivo. If it works as explained, would be wildly successful at limiting the spread of HPV if used in condoms and lubricants. I…

Everything in this article is correct, at least for me. I got fired for performance at my last job about 2.75 years ago. The first two years of working there I had great performanc…

I have been using X10 and Insteon devices for years. I have no plans to upgrade the system to newer zigbee/zwave hardware; though I have added some IP Based devices too for things …

Fully agree on understanding users. I usually strive to develop a strong working relationship with users. Working with them 1:1 is even better. I like to set clear expectations upf…

Regardless of any environmental reasons, lower maintenance costs, better performance, and ride improvements; for most Californians who buy passenger cars, electric cars mitigate pe…

U=U is fantastic science; though it hasn’t been enough to totally remove the stigma of HIV, even in San Francisco. I believe it comes from not enough dissemination of information r…

Add electrify America too. Pricey, but still cheaper than gas. Competition is good though!

I did a lot of research when I went EV shopping. So many considerations! For high speed DC Charging for trips, Tesla definitely got this right the first time; and still has the adv…

I grew up in Cincinnati. I finished college at the start of the Great Recession. As career opportunities in Tech were (at the time) nonexistent there, I couldn’t find a future for …

+1 to CA FTB. My federal tax return was 30 Pages long. I decided to use TurboTax small business to keep it in check - I had a promotion that gave it to me for free ($119 value) but…
