Based on the video, it looks like Vimeo's co-founder lives in the Mission district of SF. In my experience living hear for nearly a decade, the traffic norms around here are terrif…

Oregon is 60% the size of California by land area but only 10% of the population. Roads like 101 & 880 can't be worked on during the day because of massive congestion issues. But d…

Novo's rise is due to the proliferation of its new blockbuster weight-loss drug, semaglutide (aka Ozempic)

Loved reading this. Here's an archived version that still has the photos: https://web.archive.org/web/20140713012712/https://gizmodo.c...

Sam Altman led invests in a nuclear fusion company, Helion. Guessing the potential conflict of interest is why the 2nd article drew vote controversy. https://www.helionenergy.com/a…

Why the downvotes? This is observably true “for most people”

I grew up in "safe suburbs" and moved here 5 years ago. Saw a lot of sad changes with COVID... but in terms of safety, I'm 100% with you. On rare occasion, I'll cross a street if a…

Somewhat related but for years I've been surprised by how irrelevant the items Amazon recommends on my homepage. They have decades of my personal shopping data along with credit ca…

Not necessarily.. but they have been known to fight against (ridicule) certain forms of stupidity in the past. Which I feel many here would agree Stanford's policy is a form of.

To be fair, the Presidio is the foggiest/most humid part of SF. Any part of the city & broader Bay Area directly touching coast line attracts dramatically more moisture than anywhe…

Very well said. I had a similar takeaway, captured by this quote which is representative of many flavors of the sameness described in the article "The imagined color of life under …

It's difficult to defend Apple in this scenario but Apple's relationship with China is just like every other company's (western or otherwise) - at the end of the day, China holds a…

The obvious explanation for other country's vaccine recommendations is based in data. COVID kills the elderly (75+) who are more likely to be battling multiple negative health cond…

You're correct, of course, but the public good from improving the safety/cleanliness of shared infrastructure like transit has a much higher ROI than your "average" public space. B…

I feel like SF residents' aversion to new transit projects is unfortunate but totally reasonable... walk anywhere in SF near a BART (subway) stop and you face open drug use, trash,…

The standard charging cable Apple has supplied with new iPhones for years now has been USB-C to Lightning.

I highly doubt we'll see any updated mask guidance in the USA until November 2022, after the US midterm elections. The vast majority of people seem content with the policy of "if y…

The article strangely seems like it's framing the entire industry/profession of loss prevention in a negative light. Hopefully everyone realizes the more retail theft a store exper…

Ah good catch! Yeah the hyperlink color was the same as text for me, too

"With this in mind, a few months ago, our company, AE assembled a subscription video platform for health and fitness" Did I miss something or does the blog not link to the new plat…
