My (huge) Tesla Model Y Review

Note: I’ve been fairly inconsistent with which unit of measurement I use, both in my various articles, as well as on my podcast. This inconsistency ends today, with this article: henceforth, for obvious reasons, I shall always default to metric (with imperial units in parentheses). …

We left California for New England because of the wildfires; the smoke followed us 3,000 miles away

Why you need to care about climate change even if you don’t (want to) believe it — Four months ago, my wife and I realized a years’-long dream to relocate to New England from our beloved home state of California where I’ve lived essentially all my life, and my wife, since her emigration from Romania some twenty years ago. I was fortunate enough to grow up and…

Roe v. Wade overturned: The curtain closes on America

Why the elimination of women’s most fundamental right is a reduction of all our rights, and shouldn’t even be questioned in the first place — I was one of those geeks in law school who actually loved law: I loved both the academics behind the law — I truly enjoyed law school — as well as the profound social impacts of our legal system. When the Great Recession of 2008 tragically scuttled all my law…

The Dunning-Kruger effect: This is why voting is broken in America

Every time I vote, I try to wrap my head around how We the People are expected to make informed, educated voting decisions not just regarding the presidency, but on state and local issues too. I try to educate myself as well as possible from the most legitimate, unbiased, academically-verified…

Nextdoor’s rampant “content moderation” is the anithesis of community building

We should be one. Different views, different backgrounds, but one community all the same. — What follows is a post I felt compelled to write a few days ago, Friday the 27th of October 2023, in our local Nextdoor community of Marin County, California, the northern anchor point of the Golden Gate Bridge. Incredibly, it was deleted about 50 minutes after posting, and despite positive…

‘Nice but not kind’ vs ‘kind but not nice’ — A Californian’s take on California vs New England

Ever since my wife and I returned with our baby to Marin County, CA back in February of this year following our delightful two year stint in New England, we often get asked what we loved most about it there; more cynically, we get asked whether we returned because we…

Future imperfect: The tragedy of being denied an AI-enhanced civilization

Why we must temper AI before we lose it forever, depriving ourselves of all the wondrous innovation and beauty it can bring — I have a fear: that governments of the world will decide to tightly regulate AI out of citizens’ hands just as surely as they regulate nuclear weapons; certain online behavior; and much more besides. Italy took the first preemptive step in this direction already. China too, of course. …

Society will one day return to normal yet never be the same again: How Twitter and Square’s WFH forever policies are the first of many, and here to stay

Twitter and Square both announced recently that henceforth, their employees may work from home… forever. Meanwhile, Facebook is effectively full-time WFH until 2021 (except, tentatively anyway, July 6 for those who need to be in the office); Google is on full WFH status until, somewhat weirdly, NYE 2021; and Microsoft…
