In 2019 I literally almost died from Shigella. It caused a 105° fever and I am grateful for my Spencer for rushing me to San Francisco General Hospital, and to them for saving my life. This is not a bug I would ever want again. ATM- not wor

Please don’t bring it to their attention. At $0.60/kWh, I cannot afford a new excuse to hike my electric and gas bill. I cannot stand this company. I don’t agree with the practice where people in San Francisco have to pay for mismanage

The start of the SF Bay Area shelter in place order was sandwiched right between the sudden loss of my boyfriend (completing suicide), and then two weeks later my best friend (cancer), all in March 2020. As the pandemic resulted in a loss o

Ahhh yes. I loved BeOS. I remember how exciting I thought it was when it came to Intel x86, for free. As a 12 year old, I was an early promoter of platform agnosticism. I installed it on a hand-me-down emachines, aside from figuring out som

Elon, enjoy Texas (or Nevada...) Hope it goes well for you. Tip: Don't tell them you are a California transplant. I'd personally consider Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, or Ontario; they're much more supportive o

For me, iCloud would be worse. While I’d be sad to lose my Google Voice number in use since 2010; I’ve been using my iCloud account since the day it was launched as iTools. I have had my @mac.com email for 20 years.

It makes me question the methodology Tesla uses for refurbishing and reselling a lemon. It would’ve been pretty easy to restore non autopilot software (as this event shows) before they sold it. After seeing the way this is handled, I for su

It’s a shame. One only has to look at San Francisco‘s current zoning map to understand why this bill was important to solving the housing crisis in the state. https://sfplanning.org/sites/default/files/resour

Sounds very promising; but my guess is limited used in vivo. If it works as explained, would be wildly successful at limiting the spread of HPV if used in condoms and lubricants. In Vivo, to cure viruses like HIV, it would also need to wak

Everything in this article is correct, at least for me. I got fired for performance at my last job about 2.75 years ago. The first two years of working there I had great performance reviews, things went well. It was a high performing YC-bac

I have been using X10 and Insteon devices for years. I have no plans to upgrade the system to newer zigbee/zwave hardware; though I have added some IP Based devices too for things like smart bulbs such as Lifx. I control everything wit

Fully agree on understanding users. I usually strive to develop a strong working relationship with users. Working with them 1:1 is even better. I like to set clear expectations upfront about what I’m capable of helping with to manage my ti

Regardless of any environmental reasons, lower maintenance costs, better performance, and ride improvements; for most Californians who buy passenger cars, electric cars mitigate personal risks of potential petroleum shortages and price spik

U=U is fantastic science; though it hasn’t been enough to totally remove the stigma of HIV, even in San Francisco. I believe it comes from not enough dissemination of information regarding the nonexistent risk of contracting HIV from an un

Add electrify America too. Pricey, but still cheaper than gas. Competition is good though!

I did a lot of research when I went EV shopping. So many considerations! For high speed DC Charging for trips, Tesla definitely got this right the first time; and still has the advantage for now. They’ve been the best for long road trips.

I grew up in Cincinnati. I finished college at the start of the Great Recession. As career opportunities in Tech were (at the time) nonexistent there, I couldn’t find a future for me in Cincy. I moved away in 2009 to Chicago; and then to

+1 to CA FTB. My federal tax return was 30 Pages long. I decided to use TurboTax small business to keep it in check - I had a promotion that gave it to me for free ($119 value) but it was extra for state efile ($59.) I went to the franchise

Not gonna disagree; the treatments are good and getting better for PLWHs - side effects are nearly nonexistent on the day to day and better than they were in the long run. And PrEP / nPEP are miracles at reducing seroconversions in hig

I can throw a rock and hit Sutro Tower - San Francisco’s very omnipresent TV transmission antenna. That being said, the convenience of watching broadcast TV for free on my iPad and not investing in hardware I have to manage for sure has me

Love my Chevy Bolt EV. I like that Chevrolet has adopted a lot of standards - J1772A/CCS Combo Charging, android auto and carplay in the infotainment system. Surround vision and rear view camera are amazing. Model 3 is ok, but there ar

Smart landlords would hopefully require a standard 50A NEMA 14-50R outlet. Those are compatible with almost all EVSEs.

This rule is a lifesaver. I’m renting a single family home in San Francisco. I drive a Chevrolet Bolt EV. Using a little known SF electrical code that allows DIY electrical work in a fully detached house, I installed a 50-Amp 250v NEMA 14-

Easy fix: Require, maybe also supply in-car cameras and require footage as evidence for reimbursement. A very inexpensive fix to a burgeoning problem.
