I don't mean to say that e-bikes aren't a problem, it sounds like sometimes they are. But my personal only issue so far is that they make me feel pretty slow when I'm biking around and they pass me, heh.

We have the same problem of prioritization in San Francisco. Still no rail transit to the densest neighborhood in the US without rail transit (the Richmond district).

Newsom had the opportunity to turn the rebuilding into more housing, but decided to "protect" these wealthy neighborhoods from upzoning. California is for the wealthy, is the message I get from him

Those sound bad but is it really fair to categorize those specific two things as rent-seeking? Also LVT affects much more than totally unproductive land, like any level of inefficiency or speculation is going to be somewhat punished, and it changes the whole dynamic between landlords and the economy

For me, it would have been that there was not enough time to attend all 5 classes simultaneously and also be up to date on assignments. It's much easier as a working adult, to be able to focus on just one project at a time more or less.

If we're talking orbital, you need to blackbody radiate the heat away. Good news is you just need to be hot to radiate a lot (proportional to T^4). Bad news is electronics might not operate at those temperatures. You can also be really big to spread out the temperature but that only scales as R^2

I'd hate to live in the country at this point, but I still would if the hypothesis were actually correct that I could just live a slight bit farther away from my job and make the same money with a slightly longer commute. It doesn't exist!

In San Francisco I catch the eye of the driver, who seems aware, and then drives into me anyway. The waymo I don't even need to try, I know I can be the reckless one and not get hit. This is daily reality already. Human drivers are not on our side.
