Shahin @shahin.computer · 28/09/2026The sound policy is public subsidy for public priorities. I agree this should be a real priority but it doesn't sound like Fielder is proposing a subsidy here. 000
Shahin @shahin.computer · 09/09/2026I used to think the 3pm closing times were due to Healthy SF marginal costs, but of course that can't apply in Contra Costa. Was it always like this? 010
Shahin @shahin.computer · 08/09/2026I don't understand why people keep tweeting about publicly operated bike share. Private is working so well that I'm starting to think Lyft should run the buses. What do you think will get better under the MTA? 011
Shahin @shahin.computer · 05/09/2026Very true, the 21 Hayes went right by me: he insisted they bring it back, it was then the worst performing line citywide for his entire term, finally replaced by the 7 once he was gone 010
Shahin @shahin.computer · 20/08/2026"Annals of the Former World" might be a large-scale version of this 020
Shahin @shahin.computer · 11/08/2026Does prestige give us a kind of free lunch though? Eliminating prestige here would probably make education more expensive, not sure OK has the money to burn. These careers seem very careful to select for those who really like prestige so they're not suffering 020
Shahin @shahin.computer · 04/08/2026Something visually grotesque about the Tour de France. It has no grace, an optimized fusion of man and machine grinding down every trace of joy and peace and awe offered by a "Grande Boucle" 000
Shahin @shahin.computer · 23/07/2026Cultural prevalence of the llama in 90s tech culture is underexamined 010
Shahin @shahin.computer · 21/06/2026I almost did too but my friends convinced me I'd blind somebody 110
Shahin @shahin.computer · 11/06/2026Or retired to be too small. In North Beach it was illegal to combine neighboring storefronts, the legislation to fix brought out all the usual affordability and character concerns 040
Shahin @shahin.computer · 06/06/2026Depends. In Germany, approaching trains are announced only by the vibrating hum of the tracks themselves. US cultural norms are different, I think we can get by with just the screaming wail of Caltrain's unmaintained brakes instead. 120
Shahin @shahin.computer · 06/06/2026Real San Francisco centrists read only the Marina Times and 48 hills 010
Shahin @shahin.computer · 06/06/2026"That can code faster than me"?? Are we still talking about consciousness 010
Shahin @shahin.computer · 21/05/2026Easy to believe. On an hourly basis high-income work is often less taxing, has more remote flexibility, is less regulated 050
Shahin @shahin.computer · 16/05/2026Give people a platform that lets them choose their own algorithm and everyone starts posting about how toxic their feed is 🤔 030
Shahin @shahin.computer · 11/05/2026A homeless count is not a stock, it's a point-in-time description of a flow. House "all the homeless" today and you'll have more tomorrow. Good luck keeping the billionaires inside the city of LA for your annual pound of flesh 010
Shahin @shahin.computer · 18/04/2026The NPC streaming platform? It seemed so agreeable/polite in 2023 011
Shahin @shahin.computer · 18/04/2026Corollary: only the conflict-seeking primarily use text-based social media 110
Shahin @shahin.computer · 07/04/2026No lyrical work has become totally anachronistic faster than Cake's "No Phone" (2004) 020
Shahin @shahin.computer · 04/04/2026I'd say it does help judging from state rep votes on housing issues, where SF is miles ahead of LA. Unfortunately LA reps depress SF builds by way of blocking or watering down state-level legislation. 020
Shahin @shahin.computer · 04/04/2026They already cracked down on third party harnesses, which no longer work. This is a fix with a price tag. 090
Shahin @shahin.computer · 14/03/2026Maybe instead of networks we should just build one subway line that starts in the city center and spirals outward, looping through every POI in one go. One seat ride 1542
Shahin @shahin.computer · 11/03/2026What will we achieve by objecting to every "VMT bomb" on the grounds that developers haven't planned to build statewide infrastructure as a precondition for the first voting resident? This sounds no different than the "but the sewers" hand-wringing we hear about every new building in San Francisco 020
Shahin @shahin.computer · 11/03/2026Chowing down a bologna sandwich at 13 years old knowing one day you would dine on hot shakshuka 010
Shahin @shahin.computer · 08/02/2026Drive up to any Tahoe mountain and it's like woke never ended. Cold Rivendell 010
Shahin @shahin.computer · 11/01/2026Well if it was created with technology then it's a problem and problems can't be solutions 010
Shahin @shahin.computer · 29/12/2025You're probably right, but the way things are going we'll need to vote on both permutations eventually 010
Shahin @shahin.computer · 19/12/2025It's a different question: cars on weekends only (vs no cars 24/7 in 2024 and all cars 24/7 in 2022) 130
Shahin @shahin.computer · 30/11/2025She arrived at the grocery store, found it empty, learned that this saved resources, then demanded they stock the full store for her alone. She could have reflected and searched for a better way to feel agency 000
Shahin @shahin.computer · 29/11/2025This article puts zero effort into examining tradeoffs. How much has the network expanded geographically over this time? How about rider capacity and e-bike availability? Lots of public data on this, maybe examine that before complaining about non-public operating cost 0100
Shahin @shahin.computer · 29/11/2025When the N was bustituted due to the sunset tunnel closure it got faster, despite replacing its fastest segment with a detour through the haight 020
