The park is partially reopened last year and you can definitely bike or hike in without reservation ( https://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=540 ). My friends and I were able to ride a lot of trails but the shade is mostly gone fo

Asteroids are indeed much more dangerous because no atmosphere exists to protect machines and human from space scraps and lights. That said I think human need to be multi-planet to be able to survive big disasters. And asteroids as a small

Worth mentioning that recent cars are big AF compared to their older generations. A small red 1990 BMW M3 and a big red 2020 M3 are visually very different. If my car is a large SUV I wouldn’t pick a green one, for example.

Palo Alto is famously anti-development. Far ahead in the digital world but stuck in the 20th century physically. And Stanford has so much open land for nothing but nature. I mean come on… FWIW, Caltrain is being electrified and there are p

Replicant number zero. This research is terrifying to me because life is never within our control. What kind of life is it if a mouse or human is reproduced without parents.

I don’t think the point is turning communities into NY and LA. The world is full of places that are neither single family homes only or skyscrapers only. Yet America has a weird attachment to (exclusively) single family homes and car-depend

The areas with stable weather such as the OR and CA have been building too few homes to keep up with the population growth. Take the medium sized town I lived in for example, average home price is well over $1M which is unreachable for most

What I found helpful is: Think ahead. What if I could afford it? What does acquiring this actually mean to me? Will it make me happier (however you define it). Be careful what you wished for.

Good read. People are social/tribal than factual. Online comments, even non-political ones, can still get so heated. Etiquette seems to be better followed in the real world than in anonymous comment section.

Which issues are specific to “them”?

Yeah, Palo Alto is extraordinarily NIMBY. A suburban area with single family houses + high paying jobs = exclusionary house prices

Yep I too err on the dry side by using 1. Planters with several holes that I drilled 2. Soil that I mixed for better drainage A thirsty plant is better than rotten plant

As a cyclist and DAU I haven’t been a paying user for the past few years. Just subscribed today. This application costs a lot to run and it’s been mostly ads-free unlike Instagram. Pay if you can. Nothing comes free.

I couldn’t proof-read it but I appreciate your calculation and the spirit. Life is irreversible. I’m curious to know what the plans are if lockdown ends asap. On the other hand, I also feel that the commitments and policies in this society

I wonder how many AMD equipped Macs are there in Apple’s lab and how they perform. I know there are hackintosh out there too but Apple please do some validations and let there be choices.

> Under the Dilbert principle, employees who were never competent are promoted to management to limit the damage they can do. Interesting but how does promoting such employee limit the damage (instead of causing more damage to the team)?

So they overestimated what Quora really could be and burned way more money? Or is Google suffocating smaller tech companies? Content curation doesn’t scale as well as search algorithms. It reminds me of Yahoo and other portals who relies on

Not hard to see what their real intent was. When some have the freedom of protecting their private land, others end up with the freedom of riding diesel only, underfunded trains. The liberty of some seems greater than others’.

If they were simply a religion or practice with a mixed Taoism and Buddhism origin and a god-like figure. That’s nothing uncommon in the history of humanity. It gets funnier to see when it protects its anti-China propaganda under the religi
