On the internet everyone will know you’re a dog.

Yo. Yooooo! Thank you!

Yeah, you’re right. I’d still just like to see it. Maybe something like this:

64° ─────●────────▲───── 83°

With the dot showing the current temp within the day range and the arrow (up or down) showing if there is still a high or low spot left. As in, not the high for the day, maybe that’s already past, but just to say, “there’s a still a bit of hot left later”

Yeah, I won’t deny the potential for abuse. On the other hand, I think a lot of road rage comes from the disinhibiting effect of being alone in your car. I’d love to see a study to see if road rage can be reduced by letting people communicate.

• A weather widget on Android that shows all of current temp, high/low for the day, and high/low remaining for the day.

• I don’t think this needs to be a whole app, or just a feature within a camera app, but I want the ability to underlay an existing image at say 10% transparency on screen while taking a photo. It doesn’t get saved, I just want to be able to use it as a guide for framing things, like documenting changes on sites or recreating old photos for fun.

• I want to be able to open a line of communication to another driver nearby. Maybe a range of 100ft. I don’t know if it’s Bluetooth or what. “Hey your taillight is out” “hey coming up in your blindspot” “hey, please can I merge I’m not trying to be a dick” “hey is this the exit for Wawa?”

Wasn’t this what FireChat was?

Government is the things we choose to do together. If the people choose healthy chocolate, then that’s the job.

I mean, I get the frustration and it’s edgy to keep saying there’s no hope, but you’re just not going to get people leaving either party en masse. Most people don’t want to give up the option of voting in primaries and at least having some influence there. It’s just far more plausible to take over existing parties and remake them with a new vision.

I know I started the house analogy, but in this case the foundation is people. It’s the failed leadership and weak platform that can more easily be discarded.

Probably true, but it’s easier to move into an empty house than build a new one.

“Vote blue no matter who, but also we’ll leave the party completely at the slightest hint you want to reduce income inequality and fix the broken social safety net.”

Edit: Actually, good, fuck em. Why should the left need to start its own party. We’re the Democrats now. Any Democratic official who leaves the party for this should be abandoned forever.

His brother in law is Matt Gaetz.

I’m still not sure if we’re disagreeing even. Yeah, there are lots of issues at play, and I don’t have strong feelings about stairs either way. I just think among all the issues, start with the most egregious, which is the commodification of housing. Beyond that, sure, tackle all the issues of inefficiency including outdated stair laws. The stair issue just feels like a scapegoat to avoid talking about societal issues.

I don’t dispute any of that. More housing, modular construction, all great. It’s just separate from the issue of this staircase requirement. I don’t have any stake in staircases. If building technology makes the requirement obsolete, great. If the fire department is happy with one staircase, great. It just doesn’t sound plausible that 6-15% premium for additional staircases is a root cause of the housing crisis, when developer profit opportunity is clearly the greater constraint.

And you’re the only person I’ve ever seen recognize it in turn.

Part of me wants to ask where you went to college since that’s the only community I knew who played it, but I also wouldn’t post that here.

I wonder if it’s an early response to the talk of breaking up Google and Chrome. MS gets more people onboarded to Edge and Google still gets your browser level metrics.

It’s true, it’s still a bit more expensive to build, but the profit motive is removed. Public housing doesn’t need to recoup its costs. People need housing, you build housing.

Why San Fransisco developers can’t build more housing. They take for granted that new housing needs to be profitable for developers. Public housing should also be in the conversation.
