The park is partially reopened last year and you can definitely bike or hike in without reservation ( https://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=540 ). My friends and I were able to ride a …

Asteroids are indeed much more dangerous because no atmosphere exists to protect machines and human from space scraps and lights. That said I think human need to be multi-planet to…

Worth mentioning that recent cars are big AF compared to their older generations. A small red 1990 BMW M3 and a big red 2020 M3 are visually very different. If my car is a large SU…

More space than the VW ID Buzz. Interesting… Hope the battery won’t catch fire cuz someone will be sleeping in it

Fascinating. Being in a long drought in the southwestern US, we could learn so much from other civilizations like the Petra people

I feel that we are living through Les Misérables again

Palo Alto is famously anti-development. Far ahead in the digital world but stuck in the 20th century physically. And Stanford has so much open land for nothing but nature. I mean c…

Replicant number zero. This research is terrifying to me because life is never within our control. What kind of life is it if a mouse or human is reproduced without parents.

I don’t think the point is turning communities into NY and LA. The world is full of places that are neither single family homes only or skyscrapers only. Yet America has a weird at…

The areas with stable weather such as the OR and CA have been building too few homes to keep up with the population growth. Take the medium sized town I lived in for example, avera…

What I found helpful is: Think ahead. What if I could afford it? What does acquiring this actually mean to me? Will it make me happier (however you define it). Be careful what you …

Good read. People are social/tribal than factual. Online comments, even non-political ones, can still get so heated. Etiquette seems to be better followed in the real world than in…

Which issues are specific to “them”?

Yeah, Palo Alto is extraordinarily NIMBY. A suburban area with single family houses + high paying jobs = exclusionary house prices

Yep I too err on the dry side by using 1. Planters with several holes that I drilled 2. Soil that I mixed for better drainage A thirsty plant is better than rotten plant

Extreme examples. In reality you’ll see more service industry like bodega, accounting, cafe, etc

You’ll probably like Paper Tiger by Wesley Yang, which is even more frighteningly acute. https://nymag.com/news/features/asian-americans-2011-5/

Feel bad about this too. Blue Bottle uses compostable cups which sets an example

As a cyclist and DAU I haven’t been a paying user for the past few years. Just subscribed today. This application costs a lot to run and it’s been mostly ads-free unlike Instagram.…

Misleading title. But I agree that the message that asks me to connect is more annoying than being useful

I couldn’t proof-read it but I appreciate your calculation and the spirit. Life is irreversible. I’m curious to know what the plans are if lockdown ends asap. On the other hand, I …

I wonder how many AMD equipped Macs are there in Apple’s lab and how they perform. I know there are hackintosh out there too but Apple please do some validations and let there be c…

> Under the Dilbert principle, employees who were never competent are promoted to management to limit the damage they can do. Interesting but how does promoting such employee limit…

So they overestimated what Quora really could be and burned way more money? Or is Google suffocating smaller tech companies? Content curation doesn’t scale as well as search algori…

Belmont at least has some density and Main Street. Atherton’s density is 1/4 of Belmont’s and it occupied the very center of SV. Atherton 1,438.97/sq mi (555.53/km2) Belmont 5,843.…
