I like how full text search of every book and human thought ever was a SOLVED PROBLEM in 2001, and now dicks at search engines and my own phone – a piece of silicon faster to respond than God was ever imagined in scripture – prevent it from working, _as a retroactive infantilizing design choice_.

Here’s the clip of CM Padilla bragging about reducing the size of a 100% affordable housing project in her district and increasing the amount of parking while arguing against the transit oriented upzoning bill SB 79.

ah, the Samuel Alito Experience (TM)
You ever read something that's so poorly argued that it makes you spot the holes in it, and convinces you of the opposite of its thesis?

I'm reading a pre-print of a paper, an caught the unrendered equation:
L_{\delta}(a) = \delta^{2} \left( \sqrt{1 + \left(\frac{a}{\delta}\right)^{2}} - 1 \right)
and was like "is this loss"?
L_{\delta}(a) = \delta^{2} \left( \sqrt{1 + \left(\frac{a}{\delta}\right)^{2}} - 1 \right)
and was like "is this loss"?

NGL the idea that America is focused on STEM at the cost of all other academic pursuits is a level of unfounded nonsense to a "freedom is slavery" degree. On the PISA, we're 9th in reading but 16th in science and *34th* in math.
Funny how folks like to say that humanities degrees are “useless” while the world is being actively destroyed by people not knowing about history, ethics, media literacy, or how to think critically. But sure, tell me again how STEM alone will save us.

For a whole host of reasons, I'd like smaller cars to come back into vogue.
Yet at the same time, it's become clear that automakers were so successful at throwing the term "crossover SUV" onto slightly lifted hatchbacks with just enough big-boy rugged looks that people can't assess vehicle size.

One of the wildest bits about technology is that you can look at a project that was half-baked two years ago ago, look again after time and venture capital, and find that it solidified to a point where it would be deemed scalable two years ago and still half-baked today
