NEW: US officials held talks w/ China to get Xi to urge Putin to avoid invading Ukraine. Chinese officials said they didn’t believe the US — and secretly told Russia the US was trying to sow discord & China wouldn't try to impede Russia, US officials said. nytimes.com/2022/02/25/us/po…

Can you identify the 4 countries (or better, cities) that these screenshots from Google Earth are showing, based on the land use, buildings, and vegetation?

This is like arguing that falling off a ladder at a warehouse job is not a work injury because people also fall off ladders at home and at church

As @photomatt points out here, the Web3 discussion seems to retcon Web2 as if centralization had been its goal.
But Web1 and Web2, like Web3, thought they were decentralizing. Right up until market forces and human behavior started pushing the other way.
People seem to be redefining Web 2.0 as Facebook, etc, that own data, but Web 2.0 at the time was platforms like WordPress, Odeo, Six Apart, Flickr, Technorati, and del.icio.us that had open data and interoperated. flickr.com/photos/ross/49490…

Here's what this triangle of RE zoning looks like on Zillow. The lot with the SB9 development proposal is the one labeled 4.54M on the west side. It's a 1-acre lot.
The upper-right is "regular" Palo Alto R-1 for comparison.

That little triangle of RE is among the excesses of exclusive zoning in Palo Alto. It's adjacent to Palo Alto's largest area zoned for office, which houses prominent tech companies like HP.

It's both amazing and appropriate that this has happened in the RE zoning district.
For those unfamiliar with Palo Alto zoning, RE is its most Atherton-like zone. 1 acre minimum lot size, etc.
It's mostly used in the hills, except this small triangle west of Bol Park.
It's official: Palo Alto will be one of (if not *the*) first cities in California to see new housing built under #SB9.
Where a single home stood on a 1 acre lot, 4 new homes will rise. Progress!
