I think the important thing here is that driving faster hardly makes your trip shorter, especially for trips within a city. You're likely talking about a <1-2 minute difference eve…

What are your policy details and who is your provider for <180$ for "thorough" coverage?

One of the best reasons is that a very large % of calls can be cleared without anyone actually going to the scene. Many cities using drones as first responders now report that they…

I feel like an important thing here is that we are very much not good at imprisoning bad drivers at all, even if they injure or kill multiple people. We rarely even take away their…

This really is not true, basically every engineering job in the Bay Area will set you up with enough money to live extremely well. YC startups are a bit above average, but still mo…

There is nothing indicating a ceasefire, and Zelensky isnt even there. That is not helping an ally. Ukraine also is not our only ally - the current administration constantly makes …

Portland has some major advantages over SF, but as someone who also goes there regularly (~5 weeks/year), I still prefer living in SF at the moment. Not considering the amount of t…
