This is where a membership to the local museum comes in handy. Then there's no pressure to see all the exhibits because you could always come back next week.
Hi Gwern, just wanted to say your post on melatonin helped me sort out my sleep in my twenties. I had hangups using it on a regular basis and your arguments helped me get over that taboo. Thank you. For anyone…
You're right. It's reflective of the neighborhood itself.
It's in the name: stadtpark, city park. In defense of Berlin's Tiergarten, it was originally a hunting preserve for deer (and Hasenheide was for rabbits), so it's big and intimidating. But there are still facilities in…
If you haven't watched Mike Judge's Silicon Valley, you should: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-GVd_HLlps It was about Web 2.0, then we had "big data", then right before the pandemic we put things on the "blockchain",…

I believe MapsWithMe (now Maps.me) was released about that time, but I personally didn't get an iOS device until 2013.
Asking you to name a book or two to continue the conversation is fine, but 10 is ridiculous. That interviewer literally pulled the "oh you like _____ band?! name 5 of their albums" meme on you.
Yup! Sonic.net `whois sf.ca.us` will give you the email of the registrar (thanks cogitosum).
For some reason, I was using ICANN's lookup (lookup.icann.org) which came up empty. But yes, a simple whois from the commandline gave me the right contact. Thanks!
That Neustar list is horribly outdated from 2009 and didn't list sf.ca.us and had scruz.net as the administrator for san-francisco.ca.us. I checked www.whois.us and oakland.ca.us is administered by locality-support [at]…
A few years back, I looked into registering a *.sf.ca.us locality domain and Sonic was the registrar back then. Now, I'm trying to recreate how I found that, and I can't. But if anyone is interested, try: hostmaster…
That's actually the official slogan by LA Metro: https://shop.metro.net/collections/ride-the-d And someone even created a Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ride_the_D It's LA.
It's subjective, right? But a few artists I like have pieces there: - Margaret Kilgallen (RIP): https://www.sfomuseum.org/public-art/public-collection/untit... - Barry McGee:…

Do you think O'Reilly would still put an animal on the cover?
I've worked without a product manager before and it was not a pleasant experience. Without a PM: I conducted customer interviews, wrote up product requirement docs (PRD), and iterated with design on the mocks. On top of…
Those e-scooters are a red herring. Ring cameras on everyone's front door and automated license plate readers (ALPR) on police vehicles and Flock cameras throughout cities are bigger concerns in America. Flock is…
Thanks for the correction!
Wow, the props to the author for digging deep! > Looking inside of the display, I found labels identifying the make and model. The signs were designed and manufactured by Trans-Lite, Inc., a company based in Milford,…
This author's other articles are also about the every mysterious millennials. Pandering to the clueless.
Clickbait title. Have you even bothered playing ping-pong casually? It has multiple benefits: 1) Physical activity. Sure standing desks are the rage right now, but actual movement is better. 2) People actually hold…
Think you meant "publish or perish." I'm not on academia, but it seems like it'd lead to a lot of filler articles written. The problem with research is that it doesn't always move in predictable increments. Sometimes…
