As someone who has resided both in a foggy part of San Francisco and in Portland, I feel that this index doesn't adequately capture the dreariness of some SF neighborhoods.

All I have is my personal experience that SF felt especially cold this summer.

It sounds like they got some commercially available chemical sunscreens and added zinc oxide, which caused a reaction in those components, increasing their toxicity. That seems bad…

My point is that evaluating the relative effectiveness of regenerative braking in off-road contexts requires data and analysis which would not be present in a test drive context. S…

This is exactly my point. Establishing that regenerative braking is "especially helpful" for a particular driving context feels like a conclusion one could not reach during a test …

I don't know anything about the author, but the breathless praise combined with questionable analysis leads me to think this is a PR puff piece. For example, > The instant you star…

> But to succeed in a very high way is as brutal as any other industry. I agree with this. The common ground unite us all.

I think you're just wrong about how merit-based our industry is. I don't think it is meaningfully more merit-based than other industries, nor is it more challenging, despite the fa…

I mean, not to discount the value of working hard or anything, but you describe this as a self evident truth when it can't possibly apply across the board. I am an existence proof.…

> without hard work any luck presented would be useless Can you say more about why you’re convinced this is true?

> Yeah but everyone already knows the rest of the job market is fucked beyond belief. I’m not sure what you mean.

I don’t think this limited to careers in academia. I see similar kinds of survivorship bias in leadership seminars and talks in industry where they trot out the folks at the top of…

I personally use it all the time, for everything I don’t want to show up in an autocomplete context. I started doing this probably 8 years ago after I got annoyed Google would auto…

Reading through the article and the comments here, the facts aren't clear to me. Does Google itself track the behavior of its users in incognito mode? Some comments here allege tha…

In fact it’s not worse at all. I guess when your attack on WIRED failed, you needed to find another target, huh?

Ok, so what's bigger than a football? A basketball? I don't really play sports.

Apple is the football here, not the quarterback. If Apple does anything, it will be because they are succumbing to pressure from customers, investors and employees. Corporate activ…

I think a lot of this ends up being motivated by employees and customers of Apple who are using Apple as a lever of action, rather than being orchestrated top-down by Apple. This w…

It just seems weird that you would choose forcing Apple and its employees to operate and live in Texas as the non-dystopian option.
