Accurately labeling a potentially infinite list is an interesting problem we humans seem to have created for ourselves. In practice Greek letters are much like regular numbering an…

My understanding is that many in the Native American community self identify as ‘Indian’. Or have historically, I’m sure the younger generation is moving away from it.

The FT quotes: ‘120,000 a year for bat surveillance’. Seems negligible as an outsider.

I sat at a lunch table with Eric at an Event Apart SF a couple years ago, super friendly guy. Really recommend that conference I had a great time.

I have to tell you as an American and kinda grumpy one at that, if you get a smile and hi on the sidewalk as we pass each other it’s purely out of love for mankind.

CSS actually does have functions. ‘linear-gradient()’ is one that returns a background image. You also have the choice of interacting with your style sheets via the css object mode…

I wonder, how exactly do we determine the ideal amount of biodiversity for the planet / a given region? Outside of ideas like ‘we should not exterminate entire species’ and ‘we sho…

It’s mind blowing the author chose to include that phrase given the rest of the article is pretty well written.

I know three people who separately just moved to sac from the east bay. And a couple who are thinking about it... didn’t realize this was a trend. As someone who grew up in Sac, do…

This is exactly the reason the fed is ok with current inflation readings. Huge debt bubble in the American middle and working class, along with a low growth economy. The only way t…

You still have to make a literal phone call to unsubscribe from WSJ.

Just want to say as someone who does a lot of hardware techno jamming this was SO FUN.

I think what you are noticing is the ‘fractal’ nature of growth patterns which exists all throughout nature. It’s a fascinating topic that I know almost nothing about. The Wikipedi…

Tell that to all the active managers who bailed last spring instead of holding their tech stocks lol.

Keep in mind that the death rate still has to exist in a given time frame so only can only be extrapolated backwards and has to be recalculated annually. Strikes me as similar to t…

I’ve seen this happen to a lot of my favorite shortcuts in the east bay since the introduction of waze.

I became a software engineer because I am a Bay Area native that got priced out of the market by software engineers.

I think the idea is that a lot of these come with publishing contracts built in so the artist receives a royalty if the token changes hands and the current owner has the rights to …

This reminds me of secretly installing the metal slug emulator on computers when I was in high school so me and my friends could play before band class lol.

Replace ‘stocks only go up’ with ‘fiat only goes down’.

But I can buy a gun now and that police reform thing keeps not actually existing.
