if Silicon Valley is a f(x) of tech industry, the two can be conflated

If physical distance is the measurement, the two can be conflated

If commute time is the measurement, they're worlds apart

Both have their own special forms of politics and nimby-ism

Mayhap it's less about the proverbial "wisdom of the crowd" and better at getting things right when there is a financial incentive for insider trading on binary outcomes that are at the control of a small and discrete number of actors

In California, About the Only Way to Get a House Is to Inherit One β€” The Wall Street Journal Nearly one out of every five property transfers last year was made through inheritance, a record for the state and double the national share

Not true - my DeLorean indicates otherwise

Plus - there's a lot of current legislation that, if passed, will take this percentage way up from 20%

on corporate devices, the apps that are permitted vs. non-permitted is controlled centrally by the IT team. (most of the white collar workers at the company carry two phones - their personal device and their work phone).

Ed - the reality is this is new, and many of us do not know. for certain But there are *so many* companies that are defense contractors. For example, General Motors (GM) is a defense contractor. And will GM now enforce this on all of its contractors? The cascading effects are potentially huge

As a fellow bike commuter, I feel this within my soul - so many near miss accidents, and a general antipathy from many drivers (notably the Tesla ones) that they will primarily stop only for other cars, and bikes/pedestrians are a secondary concern

No better metaphor for what association with Trump gets you than the guys who won Team USA's first gold medal since 1980 being forever remembered as the sad losers who were served cold McDonald's and bottled water at a lunch Trump didn't even bother showing up to.

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow

It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker

This was never about woman's sports

The fact that there’s a secret network of doulas going around Minneapolis to help with home births for parents afraid of ICE should be front-page news.

These children, born in secrecy, are American citizens.

Maybe we ought to combine them to magnify the idiocracy.

There's hundreds of thousands of 150+ year old people collecting social security to pay the property taxes for the empty single family homes to preserve the tree and skyline view from their back porches. +CEQA for good measure
