@BobHorowitz@sfba.social @DavidGallagher@sfba.social I wish the peaks were still such a natural shape. the cut for the road on the east side is so ugly.
tough meeting this morning so spent the late afternoon touching various grasses, hopefully none of them poisonous. #sfba
this is crazy-making. you admit you’re targeting the wrong thing but want to make new laws that won’t do anything because the current laws aren’t being enforced?? https://sfstandard.com/2026/04/30/e-bike-regulation-license-plates-laws-dmv/
ceremonial groundbreaking for the Twin Peaks Promenade this afternoon. https://sfrecpark.org/634/Twin-Peaks-Trails-Improvement-Promenade- #SanFrancisco
sure glad the lesson we took from
the dot com bubble was that we should simply reorganize our entire economy so that the Pets dot com business model will work this time.
don't spend too much time #planespotting these days but certainly had to stop in to see this lovely retro/anniversary livery. #sfo
if you’re interested in taking pictures from space, this year’s intern jobs at our San Francisco office opened up, including on my team (imaging systems). lots of later-career hiring too (in SF and Berlin). https://www.planet.com/company/careers/?depId=internships #FediHire #spacejobs

@lehtimaeki@snapp.social Innovators Dilemmas! Consumers are partly to blame in having unrealistic expectations of reliability for cockpit software while expecting it feel like the future. Slate is taking the better approach here and pushing all that to the user’s devices where faster update cadence is expected with commensurately lower reliability. In some sense it’s just form factor: people are fine with their black slab rebooting but find it terrifying when their car does it even if the safety is the same.
love discovering a weird jargony use of a word in another industry. https://www.baslerweb.com/en-us/use-cases/quality-control-calendering/

@minmi there’s always a few converted Cushmans running around SF. a big annoying snag is that they’re licensed as motorcycles. but certainly the e-moto Discourse lately demonstrates there’s a market for something between an e-bike and an electric car!

@attoparsec@clacks.link @cvvhrn@sfba.social @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org indeed they are both called “USAF target” regardless of scale!

@grajohnt nice. I think that sort of thing is widely still possible but it’s so efficient now that your personalized discounts just steal from other customers.

@TheEddieShow@beige.party quite lovely this morning! but I suspect it will be pretty grim by the end of this heat wave.
