Walkability in rich countries is expensive precisely because lots of people want walkability, and that want is underserved. It's signal that we should allow more of it to happen!

Thanks for telling us about the option to use the original aspect ratio! I'd basically given up and might never have found out.

We've also shot ourselves in the foot with land-use policy in SF/Silicon Valley. When engineers build products at a company that succeeds, the gains end up accruing to landlords. It's been de facto illegal to build more housi

I loved this essay when it came out, and I still think it's pretty great. But I'm forced to acknowledge that a big reason I was on board with it is that the identities I was given to choose from when I was young didn't appeal

Mayor Burt's not pro-housing. He's just the least anti-housing of the anti-housing majority on the city council.

Subsidies would be mostly unnecessary. Merely allowing the housing to get built would be a gigantic improvement.

If you go to a city council meeting on the peninsula, 80% of the residents speaking say things like this. In my experience, even most tech workers speaking are the ones who bought property in the 90's and want to lift the drawbridge no

Sure. Palantir, like other successful enterprise software companies, has a variety of large, enterprisey customers. But saying that Palantir collects health and financial data on people sounds super scary, when in fact Palantir isn't i

In this case, it's appropriate. Palantir doesn't "collect health and financial data on people", and I've never seen anything in the press that suggests they do.

I'm pretty sure employees at both Palantir and SpaceX wear company-branded clothes a lot. I know that's the case at Palantir for sure.

I liked the class notes better. Zero to One seems to target people who want the more important ideas in a denser format. Reading the book was a nice refresher two years after the notes, but not much in there is new.

I was on an American team at the ACM world finals in 2004 and 2005 (and the top American team in 2005, which was a bad year for the US). There was very little pushing us to participate or practice, and I mostly did it because I thought the

The first step to doing that is to understand how drones are being used by local law enforcement. Right now, the FAA makes information about manned aircraft available to the public, but not drones. This is the difference. Right now, the pub

Paypal and Palantir are both good examples of new technologies that Thiel started that _did_ solve important problems that previously had no good solutions. He's backed plenty of Web 2.0 nonsense that didn't solve important problems (and ju

Most libertarians I know are fully aware that they can't stop the government from debasing money and devaluing savings anytime soon.

The reason tech companies rely heavily on stock-based incentives is to align the interests of the employee with the shareholder. You want the group to have a shared fate. Cold, hard cash, while attractive to people who haven't yet joined, d
