one thing we've started to do is "90s vacations", which is while on vacation pretend screens don't exist, or just minimally as they did in the 90s. bring analog things like books, journals, board games, knitting. after a while it resets dopamine and daydreaming becomes natural and enjoyable. it's made vacations more fun and present, while doubling as a dose of healthy nostalgia too

How the hell is Tesla (or any other car co) allowed to redact fields in a safety report as “confidential business information"? and how the hell are they still allowed to call this "FULL SELF DRIVING"

Biking across the golden gate bridge when the fog and wind is blowing through from the Pacific is one of the most immersive (and scary) experiences ever. Highly recommend!

It's amazing to me that the World's Fair gave us so many iconic and wonderful structures, all of which are probably too impractical to build otherwise: the Eiffel Tower, Space Needle, Unisphere, Palace of Fine Arts, etc. It's unrealistic, but it's worth having a new world's fair just for an excuse to build another one of these!

Not necessarily for lack of effort. I was there and Obama recorded a video specifically for the visitors to the US Pavilion.

Love seeing a startup focused on hardware. Skeptical about the success but bravo to their efforts.

As someone who was impacted by a past round of Uber layoffs, seeing this kind of messaging from the top is refreshing.

This sounds promising as there doesn't appear to be many natural or artificial substitutes to imitate the feel or taste of the meat like there are in current no-kill red meat products.

Similar to Doordash and other companies who have seen increased usage due to the lockdown, I wonder if all of the new cyclists and runners will revert to not using Strava as much post-lockdown. I guess cash in while you can!

> China's strategy seems simple enough. Close off borders of a region

Have a couple of issues with your points.

1. China did not close its borders soon enough, even though the government was aware of the possibility of a large scale incident. This led to the virus's spread to every other continent other than Antarctica. 2. China has the "benefit" of a central government with a citizen database where privacy has no consideration. Combine that with mostly vertical housing, it's easy to make sure no one is able to go outside except for those selected to be a resource liaison. This is impossible in a place like California.

If you don't live near cold water, I find that taking an ice-cold shower has a similar physiological effect.

Thanks for sharing @Cursuviam. The unstructured working part is something that I've grappled with for a long time!

In my own experience in SV, companies just want good engineers. If you have good experience and good projects recruiters will still find you, despite having a gap.

Ha, that would've been better!
