I don’t disagree with this, but when did this happen? About a decade ago I remember Reddit being pretty decent. Did Reddit change or did I change?

If you are using car play the work around is to have the screen off and use car play without nav full screen (using the view with tiles basically).

Moderation would be the best. I have gotten a little bit of value from Reddit, Instagram, Facebook, and HN. But most of that value can be captured within a few minutes a day rather than the few hours I spend. But moderation feels harder tha

The HSR route between San Francisco and Los Angeles is under construction. It’s not gone perfectly but it is starting to pick up momentum.

The speed yes it’s not ideal and at a minimum there should be signal priority or just remove at grade crossings entirely, but land use in LA is really really not good for transit. The built environment is designed to support automobile use

I disagree. Look at something like the Chicago el which is a true hub and spoke system. The el needs a ring line since any trip that doesn’t start or end in the loop generally requires taking the bus which is fine but not rapid transit. By

Once the dust settles we will realize yes LLMs have some applications. But no they don’t need to be integrated into everything.

How does this work with device permissions? Assuming most of these conversations are happening when there is no app in the foreground.

I have, but I’ve also met some LA natives that have never heard the term. It is a real thing, but it’s not universal for everybody.

I can really empathize with this. My wife fought two brain tumors and was repeatedly denied treatment to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars. Can you imagine going through radiation therapy, chemo, and all kinds of different tests and

I mean San Pedro is also part of the city of Los Angeles. LA is basically an hour away from LA.

It’s maybe worse than what you say, because there is a vicious cycle where individuals whose time is absorbed by parasocial relationships are less available to people around them. Those people may in turn become isolated and turn to… paraso

It’s a miracle of marketing that so many people think what brightline has built is high speed rail.

I would love to say this cynicism is unwarranted but it’s nigh impossible to make that case. What transit America is building is either grossly overpriced compared to peer nations, the wrong type of transit, or both. Compare Seattle Link to

Frisco has been said for a long time by black San Franciscans (of which there are currently so few there is literally a movie called the last black man in San Francisco). Cringe if you want but there is history behind calling SF Frisco in c

The US housing crisis is especially acute because the thinking is so local. We don’t have enough housing units in our most economically productive cities so individual actors move to cities with a lower cost of living. Those cities then sky

This does not in any way reflect the America that I live in. The many immigrant communities that have made this city their home have high expectations for their food regardless of price point leading to a great variety of inexpensive and de

Psychological safety matters just as much as physical safety. If you think that you won’t see some shit on public transit I welcome you to come to LA and take the red line for a day.

Truly nearly all the public transit infrastructure we have in the US was built decades ago (close to 100% if we’re talking about heavy and commuter rail). This is a shame because comprehensive metros would transform our cities, enable infil

Can anyone comment on how this quid pro quo worked? Were sales people making database updates? Was there an internal tool? Or just an internal escalation process to expedite review removal?

Transit is a false choice if your trip takes 30 min by car and 2 hours by bus. This is why I am not a fan of congestion pricing even though I want a more transit oriented US. The US across the board gets less transit for its money than the

I’m not sure that’s exactly true. Maybe in % increase yes, but are you considering the leverage when buying a home and the money that would have been spent on rent (which can increase year over year)? I recommend the NY Times rent vs buy ca

“Touch grass” as cliche as it has become is legitimately good advice. I’ve been heavily into gaming and internet culture since middle school and I could say for myself it’s one of my personal regrets in life.

A genuine question from a life long Californian: do other states not have problems? It seems like there’s an entire cottage industry dedicated to negative news about California. Obviously we have some challenges, but my feeling is that we a

The deeper analysis here is more interesting imo. How much of what ails society is downstream of the increasing atomization of individuals? the need for community hasn’t gone away, but I can’t help but wonder if we’re pursuing it in the wro

Man I wish somebody told this to a young me (although I probably wouldn’t have believed them). Once you start making gains it does become addictive especially if (like me) you have some uh let’s call it mental health challenges. After susta

More of this propaganda? Remote work exposes issues that were previously covered up by being in person. Society has become increasingly alienating and lonely, going into an office is just a way of papering over that. Companies haven’t built
