San Francisco's problems aren't the fault of "tech bros". They're the result of the collision of unavoidable economic forces with a dysfunction local political culture that was unable to accommodate those forces. noahpinion.blog/p/did-tech-bro…
Why does Postmates, a company Uber acquired and integrated in Uber Eats in 2021, still send out 2010s era-level discounts to existing users?
I'm donating my brain electricity to the research of on-demand good vibes (jhourney.io/jhana-retreat). If this sentence makes sense to you, you can stay at my apartment in downtown SF while I'm gone 3/10-3/19 (as long as you water my plants and vote in your local elections)
NY Times released maps that illustrate in stark terms what we know: the denser the neighborhood. the less the emissions per household. To fight climate change, we need denser cities, more housing near jobs, biking, walking & transit. It's as critical as anything we can do.
Aaron Swartz would be 36 years old today.
Agglomeration benefits = positive spillovers people generate by living near one another. They're why cities exist. Constraints on housing supply are making Americans thousands of dollars poorer by preventing more agglomeration in the most productive cities worksinprogress.substack.com/p/agglomeratio…
Got my green card so I can finally start tweeting my controversial opinions like the fact that peanut butter is Bad
In recent years, many climate activists have been lured toward the tempting but misguided ideas of degrowth, anticapitalism, and doomerism. That approach has decisively failed. It's time to adopt a more positive, pragmatic, realistic attitude. noahpinion.substack.com/p/how-we-will-…
Had stunningly good tacos at El Gallo Giro in the Mission with @ProdanStatev and @pierreavdb - extremely good and crispy carnitas especially.
Abundance requires innovation. Innovation begins with science. But scientific funding in the U.S. is broken—it's too slow, risk-averse, and old. I wrote about a surprising coalition of tech founders and star scientists who are trying to fix it. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
Thanks to decades of dedicated effort by people in science, business, and government, climate change can now be defeated without sacrificing growth. We just need to defeat the entrenched power of the fossil fuel lobbies and the culture-warrior allies. noahpinion.substack.com/p/climate-opti…
Endorse @ezraklein's call for more innovation prizes, basic research, and public funding for drug trials: "Focusing on the need to make new drugs affordable while ignoring the need to make more of them exist is like trimming a garden you’ve stopped watering."
I think there’s a lot to this. Why is childcare so expensive? To a significant extent, bad housing policy. Why is inequality rising? To a significant extent, bad housing policy. Repeat… worksinprogress.co/issue/the-hous…
DeepMind says it used AI to create a "transformative" map of human proteins; some compare the potential impact of the work to that of the Human Genome Project (@jjvincent / The Verge) theverge.com/2021/7/22/2258… techmeme.com/210722/p23#a21…
.@thesfminute is a good example of @benthompson’s idea for a local news source that tells you only the important stuff and does it succinctly. It’s really well executed and I’d pay for it if I could but it’s free! Go subscribe if you live/work in or around SF.
I wonder how many people get this Uber puzzle right.
Every local elected official should be forced to read this fantastic op-ed from @RickKahlenberg I'm honestly sick of politicians like @DeanPreston who claim the mantle of progressivism while entrenching these horrible policies by refusing to upzone affluent, transit-rich areas

I’m all for new tent encampments, but before you build them you should need to engage with the stakeholders in a series of community meetings, have some design review, and ensure that the tents align with the existing character of the community.
This is Richard Bowles, Director ASEAN, Arianespace. His arrogance is quite indicative of how Europe deals with „dreamers“ in the field of innovations and industries. Where is the European space industry 10 years later compared to Europe? It’s Europe that needs to wake up.
SpaceX primarily seems to be selling a dream. $50M launch is a dream. Reusability is a dream. How do you respond to a dream? You let people wake up on their own. They (SpaceX) are not supermen. What they can do, we can do. - Ariane space exec, 2013
It took $1.7 million to build a public toilet in San Francisco. After a scandal, someone from Nevada volunteered to do the installation for $140K, but the city didn't know if it could accept because Nevada was one of the 30 states it was boycotting over LGBT.
