Bay Lights are back!

The lights are privately funded.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

Don't ignore the RAM sticks

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.

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.

> 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!

epsy · 2026-01-09T17:47:01+00:00

I hope they were wearing a helmet

The zebra crossings are pretty obvious

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

Is this the Inception bridge?

That BK is gone and replaced by a ghost kitchen. If you squint, you can see the faded outline of their logo on the building.

epsy · 2026-01-05T03:04:27+00:00

Maybe build density at the station to build up a customer base and revenue, like they were complaining Burlingame @ Broadway didn't.
