SPACs remind me of the pump-and-dump IPOs and the sketchy reverse mergers into public shells of the 1990s. Would that make Chamath the Wolf of Silicon Valley?

New York's sky is the best! I miss it so much. Sending my love.

Tenants should know if their health is potentially compromised. But, I think it should come from the Public Health Department, I see it in the same category as any other communicable disease, e.g. STDs where those potentially exposed are notified. Or, am I missing something?

Re: Mayor Breed Admits Relationship With Nuru, As Well As a $5600 'Gift' From Him

I look at that photo and am truly disgusted. I thought Lee was bad but Breed takes it to a new level. I trusted my gut and voted against her. Seems my gut was right. She has to resign.

On another note, damn, wish I'd had someone pick up the repair costs for my 18-year-old Audi wagon! Ended up having to donate her.

Stop with your name calling, Arnie. It makes you look like a dumb-ass.

Whether he was flying home or to a gym really is irrelevant. That was his preferred method of commuting to/from his home in Calabasas, etc. His pilot had been cleared to fly in those inclement weather conditions.

What about the other girls, their parents, coach, pilot? I'm really over putting this rapist- adulterer on a pedestal because of his untimely death. Wasn't he generally disliked by his teammates? Maybe if he hadn't insisted on flying back, instead of driving, to his home in Calabasas in a helicopter not equipped to fly in inclement weather, they'd all still be alive.

Re: Chef Tanya Holland Wonders Aloud Why People Gladly Pay $20 For Ad Hoc's Fried Chicken But Balk at Paying $18 for Hers

You'd be surprised. Plus, she was in the Ferry Building, tourist central. But, you just do your myopic, sarcastic, ironic you.

I'm guessing it's more about her toxic personality than her chicken. The chip on her shoulder she brought with her onto Top Chef immediately made her unpopular with ... everyone. I'm not saying the business isn't dominated, live nearly every other business, by white males. But, there are more and more successful female chefs, especially here in the BayArea. A bad attitude will get you nowhere. I've never had her food because her personality is such a turn-off that I've had no desire to seek it out.

Very sad to see that Naya Health failed. it shouldn't have. Great product, great team. But, women-led startups that the male VCs don't/won't understand don't get funding.

Re: Italian Police Charged for Blindfolding Marin County Suspect and Leaking the Photos

If that 18-year-old were African-American, he'd be referred to as a man and there'd be no issue about the blindfold but he's a WASPy white "Marin teen" with money to travel to Italy, vacation, commit murder.

It really is a shame that the MTA couldn't let that car run through the Halloween holiday. It's gorgeous!

So, the West Side gets another jewel of a park while the city wants to bury the East River Park, for years, if not forever,, killing all the trees in it and denying the residents of the LES their one decent sized park. But, then, there doesn't seem to be any need to bury West side parks to prevent flooding. How is that?

Take your own advice. I was actually in agreement with you.

No, that wasn't clear from your post. But, as I reread my response, maybe I should've just posted it as a new comment and not a response to you. So, now you can work on that anger issue you seem to have.

Yes, if it isn't specifically allowed. These aren't hotels and come to think of it, even hotels have rules about partying in rooms. But, thanks for outing yourself as a poor risk to rent an AirBnB to.

How do you propose describing suspects that are being sought by the police for committing crimes or in the investigation of a crime? Your misplaced political correctness is getting in the way of real world situations that require specifics.

Shouldn't the Tesla have known it was going against traffic?

Thank you! Whenever we start talking about how critical it is to the success of a company to implement processes and systems, we're often met with resistance/excuses. We're always striving to make it easier for them, including building email templates for them. So, it would be great to get your perspective on what are essential standard responses, not necessarily linked to the sales process.

I was going to ask why you chose to use an image of the latest media darling, Greta Thunberg who's the face of "caring about the environment" for this article but then I realized that is exactly why you chose it. But, 'caring' is right up there with 'thoughts and prayers' in its effectiveness if not backed up by action. She's just so darn more photogenic than the indigenous people of the Amazon for example, on Amazon Watch, right?

Re: Parents of Teen Accused in Murder of Italian Officer Say He Is 'Remorseful'

Apples and oranges. Stop being purposely obtuse. Parental love is not commensurate with what is implied by "fully supported." Even if you hadn't said it, it patently obvious you are not a parent or understand whaat it is and what it takes to be a parent.
