taking a park which had been free for decades and making it so you have to use an app and pay to reserve parts of it is pretty loving jerktech even if the city was the one that decided to do it because you know exactly what demographic that functionality is aimed at.

its ok

the app guys send dudes with ipads so they can reserve

The peninsula is flush with million dollar-plus properties, a fact that will come as a surprise to absolutely no one who has ever attempted to buy a home there. Still, it comes as a bit of a shock that the U.S. zip code with the most sales over $1 million isn�t in New York City or Beverly Hills, but Burlingame, according to a new report form Coldwell Banker.

The 94010 zip code had 404 million dollar-plus sales between July 2013 and July 2014, according to the report, far outpacing infamous zip code 90210, which only had 295 sales in that range. (An example of what you can get in the 94010 zip for around $1 million is in the gallery above.) Not to worry, Kelly and Donna�s home values are still intact; the Beverly Hills zip had the most sales in the $5 million or more and $10 million or more categories.

lol at a related story

quote:

In an act of nature that defied the laws of probability, a squirrel seriously injured a bicyclist at the Levi�s GranFondo charity ride in Sonoma County over the weekend when it ran onto the course and got caught in the spokes of the man�s bike, authorities said.

The squirrel died shortly after it became entangled in the wheel about 9:45 a.m. Saturday, an accident that sent the man over his handlebars and onto the ground, said Monte Rio Fire Chief Steve Baxman.

No other cyclists were injured in the incident, which happened about a mile and a half south of Monte Rio on the 7200 block of Bohemian Highway. But the man, described as being in his 40s, suffered a head injury and was �very disoriented,� Baxman said.

those things have actually existed for a while. theres ones where they can take a 3d image of you and make one of those embedded in glass laser print things (ffs i forget what they're called) in front of some tourist attraction

my startup was looking at using our 3d imaging stuff for those a few years ago, wasn't a very good looking market and our scanners were actually too expensive and waaay too accurate

this would never have happened if americans hadn't started playing soccer. i welcome the death of the tech bubble and the return to kids playing wholesome american sports like football and baseball.

i've actually just been rereading neuromancer and i think it holds up pretty well

i mean yeah it's 80s as all hell but a lot of the stuff about how miserable the world is is eerily accurate _{except for how the matrix was cool and awesome instead of dumb and lame like second life is irl}

they are cool (ok sprawl is, haven't read bridge) and a real good way to get into the mind of tech-shitters is to read the books as if they were depicting a utopia (and really, if you're on top, they kinda are)
