Do you have an example? This seems like dogwhistling without a concrete understanding of what you think their "latest message" is. Unless that latest message is, literally, the phrase "Black Lives Matter", which can easily stand on its own, it's difficult to see what issues you have with them.
Perhaps. However, calichoochoo implied this at least true of one more office, as it "continues to make the wrong large decisions by putting their offices in the middle of nowhere, miles from any real place, surrounded by acres of parking". This seems to only apply to mountain view.
FWIW I agree; I can't think of a place I'd like to work less than the bay area. There's no good option for living there, let alone commuting.
Such over-engineering does not smack of interesting material for a site called "hacker news". This is great material in itself, especially considering the context of education here.
Right, I'm not disputing that there are obvious biological differences. Why do you think that the statistical difference between men and women at intellectual performance (for which I haven't seen numbers, but I'm not disputing) is due entirely to biological differences? It seems foolish to reject environmental influences off-hand.
Right. I wouldn't use that; while I can totally understand why you linked the shops you did, they also aren't qualitatively much different than the shops I do appreciate. So I'd rather not automate away my taste until, you know, it's my taste.
IIRC one "infrastructure-scale" battery idea is compressing hydrogen into salt domes. While I can't speak to the intersection of the article and this idea, people can clearly store hydrogen in massive amounts.
As someone not familiar with this, why not? Can't you just draw a line from output to input?
