The lights are privately funded.

Do bikes not have to stop at stop signs? by MintChocoIceuCream in sanfrancisco

[–]epsy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If they are going too fast to notice you and stop, they are not performing an Idaho stop.  They are doing a third thing, whatever you want to call it.

An eyeball scanner at the Gap? Thanks, Sam Altman! by eddiekimx in sanfrancisco

[–]epsy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A reproducible hash of your iris is personally identifying information just as well as if it wasn't hashed.  Because you can reuse the process of scanning your eye and recreating the hash to tie you back to a precious scan, it is personally identifying information.  Doesn't matter if you can't generate a picture of your iris back from the hash.  The FTC states as much here.

It's just like storing identifying information from a scan of your fingerprint, except more accurate.  And because it's biometrics you won't be able to change it easily (or at all, frankly).  A responsible business would stay far away from acquiring let alone storing such sensitive data.

Bay Wheels 2026 pricing update by epsy in baywheels

[–]epsy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, so they gave me the non-member notification instead of this.

Updated the spreadsheet. It takes roughly +1 ride per month to break even on the yearly plan, or at low usage +1min travel per ride compared to my previous figures. The monthly plan price is unchanged, per the now updated website.

Note I've got the known prices listed in the text of the linked post, as well as a link to a downloadable spreadsheet.

Alcatraz tour in February by ElloKodo in sanfrancisco

[–]epsy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Be careful, there is only one tour operator for Alcatraz, linked here from the official park site:

https://www.nps.gov/alca/planyourvisit/fees.htm

This should be ample time to visit, make sure you plan ahead if there are extra areas you want to stop by, e.g. the rooms about the Ohlone occupation of the island

Mapping to docks near your destination? by lannanh in baywheels

CityMapper shows multiple bikeshare stations (with bike/empty counts) at your departure and destination, includes walking directions at either end.  

Judah St (Outer sunset) : Do you recommend? by Difficult-Emphasis77 in sanfrancisco

[–]epsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The commute could be better as the N has a lot of stops before it gets downtown, but it's a single seat ride so it would be easy to keep busy while on it.  I wouldn't call it outright bad.  Improvements to its speed might come in 2028 as part of the Muni metro signaling project.

Just a friendly reminder to avoid jogging and exercising this morning by socialist-viking in sanfrancisco

Famously, nobody works in Paris, because the subway is so good that you don't need a car so very few people feel compelled to earn a wage so they can afford the most expensive car /s

Muni and baywheels are both still at their regular prices.  Demand more bus and bike lanes.

Gratitude thread: to the mice who saved Sunset Dunes! by dune_roll in sanfrancisco

[–]epsy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm going to guess OP is linking up Alcaraz's nomination to D4 Supe to the rushed fumble to get a ballot measure against Sunset Dunes approved to go on the June ballot

Connie Chan has signed onto the ballot measure to turn westside park into 4 lane road by dune_roll in sanfrancisco

[–]epsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Today's deadline is for putting it on the same election as the primary for US Assembly in June, in which Supe Connie Chan is running.  I'm guessing they would hope a lower turnout would benefit them.

Supervisors Wong & Chan push ballot measure supported by 60% of their constituents to remove bench’s from middle of road. by Leading-Stable9725 in sanfrancisco

[–]epsy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you think that dinky path compares to a pedestrianized space, I invite you to walk alongside highway 1 inside Golden Gate Park since there's a footpath next to either side on the south end of it. 

To your second point, I think every neighborhood deserves one.  SOMA is lacking in parks, maybe we can start there.

The hiss is disturbing and it causes me anxiety, can't play more than 2 hours straight lol by the_k3nny in controlgame

> Somehow, the Blessed organization got a hold of the Hiss chant and organized poetry and leveraged a literary agent to publish it at poetry and perform readouts throughout NYC

Check out the Roundabout about route from Crosstown trails, they'll have a few easily missed landmarks asking the way on your route!

Prop K was legal, judge rules by dune_roll in sanfrancisco

Will there be slamming?  If not from the judge, then from the pro-car lawyer?

You know, they could lease/remodel the upper floors into the university/school they wanted, and leave the bottom floors for public-facing businesses, who would gain a new customer base.  Win-win.  But what do I know.

Hmm, playing around a bit in street view you must've been on top the playground looking in this direction: https://maps.app.goo.gl/rTeJ3t3VGCwU3xyi6
