I can't punish freeways enough for the life they've enabled. The closest thing you will get to teleportation in your lifetime is moving to a city. Maybe you cannot get from one side of the world to another in a minute, but you certainly can walk down the street to get anything you need in a minute or two in good major cities.

Equifax has made more money after the hack now that they are selling their credit monitoring as a service.

I went to their website trying to figure out how to lock my credit report (which US govt mandated be a free thing to do) only to learn that in order to use the "free" option you have to go through hours of phone trees, or write in snail mail.

If you want the ability to lock the report online or via an app, you have to pay ~$20/mo to Equifax. Total BS, and of course I wouldn't put it past this company to make money off their own data leak.

I love this! I was going to write something similar. The increasing prevalence of sites that shard their content over multiple pages to increase ad impressions seems beneficial to nobody; the consumer, producer, and advertiser all have degraded experiences. The problem is that the companies which are paying out for ads (Google) don't penalize this type of behavior, so it is financially beneficial to have super bloated websites which require 15 page refreshes to view all the content.

wikihow is a very good antipattern to follow. This site should be deindexed from google entirely.

I don't understand why Comcast has such unbalanced offerings. In the Bay Area, a top tier package (over $100/mo) is 250mbps down / 10mbps up. They claim that most people don't need to upload things, so they allocate "more of the pipe" to download. This seems like bs to me. I upload things all the time.

I find it so hard to grapple that much of SF / Silicon Valley (supposedly the "innovation hub of the world") is subject to near-monopoly by Comcast. AT&T's offerings are 40mbps/5mbps in 2019. So that's obviously not an option. Even Comcast only has 250mb/10mb. In _silicon valley_. In 2019.

I had WebPass in one building I was in in 2014, and had symmetric gigabit for $40/mo. Nothing like that has existed in any of the other buildings I've lived in.

It's gotten to the point where I'm seriously considering relocating away from the Bay Area due to the lousy internet here.

You need not buy a new phone. Some of the Samsung phones of the 2005-2006 era were my favorite, in terms of speed and menu design. They can be found on Ebay for <$10

lvl5 | Senior Software Engineer | Full-Time | San Francisco or Moscow | http://www.lvl5.ai

We're making HD maps for self-driving cars. We need strong engineers and data scientists to help with our fully computer vision based pipeline. Experience with GNSS, GIS, SLAM, and structure-from-motion are all a plus. Unlike most self-driving companies, we build and release our product incrementally so that we can rapidly iterate -- we're already testing our maps for level 2 and 3 autonomous vehicles with OEMs. Apply on our site at https://lvl5.ai/careers.html

lvl5 is a formidable contender in the race too. We're looking for talented computer vision / 3D reconstruction engineers. (http://www.lvl5.ai/careers.html) if you're interested in this industry.

We are looking for top-notch data scientists and computer vision/SLAM

lvl5 | Senior Data Scientist (GIS/Python/Mapping) | $120K+ | San Francisco | http://www.lvl5.ai

lvl5 is building HD maps for self-driving cars using computer vision. We are looking for top-notch data scientists and machine learning engineers to help turn 2 million miles of video and telemetry data into lane-level maps of the world.

As a member of our data science team, you'll take output from the computer vision pipeline (objects such as traffic lights and stop signs) combine them with telematics from our fleet of Payver drivers (http://www.getpayver.com) to position every object on the road down to 10cm. To apply, please send your resume and most-used Sk-Learn function to careers@lvl5.ai

Happy to be a first customer, I hate the current non-transparent options out there!

I bet most would, but privacy would be a big concern for me at least. script is optimal format for me
