Love this idea as a runner! Quick feedback: - the bottom toolbar obscures Zone 1 measurements unless you scroll. You should make it fixed (like iMessage input area or the bottom ta…

The evidence that falsifies this idea is the fact that policies considered “progressive” in America are just called “universal status quo” in almost all countries with higher human…

SF is already the second-most dense city in America. It’s dramatically more akin to NYC than Austin, LA, and so on. It’s just a lot smaller geographically.

I agree the macroeconomics are important but to say that the architecture of local political power doesn’t matter is silly. Local elections have really direct consequences for soci…

I suspect these people are looking for any rationalization for their emotional desire for Portland to turn back the clock 10-20 years to being a slightly grungy and relatively inex…

“If Wikipedia’s eyeballs are low, people wouldn’t contribute” People were contributing well before it was a top 10 website. That’s how it got kickstarted in the first place.
