At no point does the article enlighten me of the actual ‘problem’. The photo is beautiful. The ability to even capture this signifies technological advancement, which I think wonderful. In some way this reminds me of living in SF back in 20

I just got a Rivian R1S and lack of CarPlay is by far the worst thing about the car. The built in Spotify app is janky, podcasts and music can’t continue where it left off, built in map seems to only direct me to busy roads. It’s so annoyin

If he decision to kick off this project took a bill in the California legislature, then why didn’t they save tens of billions by tacking on a “CEQA does not apply to HSR” sentence to the end?

There are no mega-companies because it is not a single market in practice. Language alone splits your market. It would be like launching your SV startup only in California and not getting the other 49 states for 'free'. For each n

So if this becomes the new ‘standard’ work week, which day becomes part of the weekend? Friday? I see these stories all the time. I’m pro the idea. But it’s not going to work if one industry works Tue-Fri and another Mon-Thu and their custo

Thanks. But even at $80k it’s a no brainer. The hybrid solution I vetoed came in at $130k! EDIT: To expand on that, only about $40k was batteries. After an initial period would fall back to (large) generator and only certain areas of house

Surprised there’s no discussion on the price delta here - I could buy 10x power-walls for $110k, or 1x E F150 for $40k and get a free truck thrown in. As someone with a large house who just investigated a hybrid power walls + gas generator

Why not just write @(x(), y(), z(“items”))? Named cells was a feature. My immediate thought is excel is 3d — through worksheets - it’s just the calling syntax is horrible. It would be hard to displace excel at this stage. But if there was a

So why didn’t your investors offramp to fiat themselves, and then transfer you USD? Or are you saying they were in foreign countries and had non-USD denominated bank accounts, this you saved them currency conversion costs?

The house I grew up in in Scotland did exactly this. We had fireplace powered central heating -— radiators throughout the house linked to pipes behind the firebox. In the morning I’d wake up to ice on the inside of the windows, and by my te

Where does this 50/50 myth come from? I have used Amazon prime as my first choice for all shopping since 2014. Only if I can’t find an item on Amazon will I buy elsewhere. (This is a convenience and customer service decision, I am rela

Because moving to NYC from pretty much anywhere else would increase your annual cost of living by far more than $5,000. Net you’d lose.

Like another poster below with Linux, every two years I purchase a Windows laptop (most recently an XPS 2 years ago) and try it out. And so far every time I’ve been so disappointed, from hardware quality, through coil whine, through WiFi th

That is unfair. Apple has a billion devices in active use so there are bound to be the occasional issue. And even with those issues it is still a _far_ better experience than either Linux or Windows.

A lot of people here misinterpreting the CEO tax —- it applies to revenue made within San Francisco, and is not dependent on the location of the company. So no, it should not impact the decision of a founder to base their company in SF. The

Also consider the inverse example of Twitter: SF offered tax breaks to companies setting up on mid market street, and low and behold startups moved in and gentrified the area.

Depends so much on your climate. Heat: the best by far is under floor heating (hot water not electric). Each room will have its own thermostat. There will be no cold spots, it will just feel cozy. No air is being cycled around the room keep
