Even friends of mine who are otherwise very conscious about social issues ignore climate change or push it all the way down. People seem to think corporations need to change and anything to suggest they need to change their lifestyle is bas

They get paid when they’re fired. They get paid when they’re accused (credibly even) of sexual harassment and misconduct. For all this talk of “math”, this particular math is just beyond my ability to grasp.

You are talking about two different types of ads. “We” hate targeted ads. “We” love context specific ads. When I search for “best EV to buy in 2023”, I’m more than happy to see a few results ads from Ford and VW. (That was the entire premis

What I really like is the lane modification system on the Golden Gate Bridge connecting San Francisco to Marin in California. The bridge is usually 3 lanes each way during normal hours. But during peak hours one is added to the direction of

If I want to, sure. Otherwise the data port you plug in to for your wired CarPlay is usually a really slow charger. I prefer to use my 12v charger. So I got a MagSafe charger and a wireless CarPlay adapter.

Any pointers to how much Apple and Google charge the carmakers? Considering a car giant made this deeply unpopular decision, I was sure it should be easy to find. But I’ve had no luck so far.

I grew up in a violent town (high murder rate - even blatant). The difference between that and SF is that you don’t personally experience that violence in my home town. It’s really quite rare it affects someone you know. It’s even rarer for

Yup, I get so mad at WSJ after reading one of their really stupid opinion pieces and then their real journalists will publish something really good. Almost like an abusive relationship. The FT is good but doesn’t always dig out the dirt lik

Doctors do often recommend those - they just won’t touch anything that might requires FDA approval and doesn’t have it. I have indigestion issues and it’s my doctor who recommended a supplement with peppermint oil and castor oil. Worked li

Usually there’s a primary and a secondary. One person handles the actual debugging and the other handles the communication and coordinating. While I agree it’s poor management to ask for an update every few minutes, it’s not because asking

It's a negative spiral. More people get bigger cars now because well there are more bigger cars on the road now. That and the convenience of an SUV is unbeatable for people with families - like baby seats or ease of getting in and out

It’s a licensing issue. There are a whole bunch of albums missing in one language but available in another. All the latest ones are decently organised. Then there’s the nightmare where a single song is uploaded with its own album title (Fro

Switching cost is trivial with apps like SongShift. In any case, Apple want you whole not just bits and pieces. Before you know it you’ll upgrade to Apple One.

That’s the point IMHO. We want depositors to keep money in the banking system. The inverse of it where depositors don’t trust the system would result in even more bank runs. However well run a bank is, there’ll always be a certain amount of

Downtown is also dark and gloomy in an already gloomy city. I’ve been to many cities but have never seen a downtown like SF. Too many tall buildings may be? But other than offices, conference center and office lunch places there’s just noth

SF is foggy before 11am and after 3pm between Apr and August. Then it’s cold from Nov-Feb. There’s literally only two months of good weather in SF proper (Sep/Oct). Certain areas might dodge the fog an hour extra. I found SF and London
