We should have learned by now don't NY Times articles about the City.

I'm zero on this tech, but I'd like to see this type of project work.

Does the article ever say what the setting we should change are, or is just saying that Yale has a leadership platform that it exercised for musicians during the pandemic?

I'm rehearing with a group of highly amateur musicians, and getting some easily configurable improvement on this would be something we would definitely do, but I missed what the changed settings should be. Thx

I have Chromebooks.

I'm now concerned and confused. The implications are not adequately explained.

Seems like an important topic to discuss. Serious question, how do should I understand the concluding sentence/word,

"But walk through parts of San Francisco today, and you get a different sense altogether: not an uncanny effectiveness, but a panicked swirl of homeless capital."

What is meant by "homeless capital"? does it mean SF is the capital city for homeless like Washington DC, or does capital go to opposite of venture capital, like in banking/finance/Wall St?

I'm not a gamer, but it * could * turn out to be a successful on-ramp for a large number of casual non-committed gamers.

". I felt like I was hearing from Pelé that the key to becoming a great soccer player is wearing shoes."

It was just a movie, but in a movie about Pele, one of the memorable scenes was he was playing with the neighborhood poor kids, against the rich kids in a tournament. His team didn't have shoes or uniforms. And they didn't want to be made fun of . They rather crookedly got shoes, but weren't use to them, and they didn't fit.

By half time, they were losing badly. Pele took off his shoes, scored amazing goals and the team came back to within one goal.

Kinda random, but what should I believe about shoes being obvious.

GAC currently has a nice display booth at the NADA show, National Automobile Dealers at Moscone Center in San Francisco, showing about 6 cars. Which is probably some sort of a confirmation of what the article says about them coming to US dealers soon.

Right, and it felt like 8 inches of blah, blah, some analysts might care about this history, before they got to the news of raising prices.

Also agree about questioning why Google isn't pricing to create network effects.

Tried out cloud computing. Went to the first lesson, clicked the link for the YouTube of the first video class, described as "What is the Cloud? Watch this lively video for a quick overview of the Cloud landscape. Though it's a couple of years old, it's a great intro."

But got hit with a "this video is not available" YouTube page. A YouTube search for the same title brings up lots of possibles.

I'm hopeful about this.

saw this tweet this morning.

Text Good morning to everyone except @paulg, co-founder of @ycombinator, who just donated $150K to defeat a measure that will prevent 7,000 households from homelessness through eviction defense services & rental assistance.

I see one tech startup that changed addresses about 6 months ago. Is there a correction button?

  Should I pay 3X's as much to get only 10% more experience, is a great question.   But if I frame the choice as, I could pay less than $0.50 / hour for better experience on something important to me, my calculus is different.

I also remember that for a few season, MS did the vaporware thing. Spreading false rumors that they would be releasing a Surface in a few months that would cost about $200, and be better real computer compared to the new Google backed toy. Then after a few delays the surface limited devices came out at nearly $500, and were soon abandoned.

Right, And this excellent little known Chromebook feature continues to get better.

One can now throw tabs from one account context to the second logged in account. Left click on the top to the left of the tabs, (while the Chromebook is signed into two accounts) and it offers moving the tab to the other account.

I also believe Google is experimenting with taking its customer support up a few levels, which for years was figure it out for yourself. With both Chromebooks and YouTube subscription, I've gotten very good support through chat including call backs. Isn't that what Google One, is supposed to be about?? , real customer support if you are a paying Google Drive, G-Suite, YouTube monthly payer, etc.

I'm just learning about LXC containers because LXC containers are part of the Chromebook Linux breakthrough.
