The bridge-over-Market aspect of Alternative 3 would have been nice, including for the rate of bicycle accidents caused by illegal left turns from Market onto the on-ramp.

Proposal from @SadiqKhan for housing growth in London looks like 2% growth per year, which seems pretty weak (considering the demand from people who want to move into London) if you want housing costs to go down. (Baseline from 7.1 of london.gov.uk/sites/default/… .)
London's future: More homes, less parking.
I wrote a quick overview of some points in the new Draft London Plan

At lower prices it's *not* going to be the same quality hardware as an iPhone, but it can still be a good phone for lots of people.

I'm saying the per-user cost of maintaining the software goes down when you have more users per model. It's totally possible.
There have been Android phones for much less than $400. I guess the question is where the threshold for "good" is, and that's subjective.
I think it's totally possible (even for much less), if you're fine with hardware that's not at the cutting edge, and you sell enough phones to pay for the device support costs.
Post-Thanksgiving travel at @flySFO has backed up onto highways.
Around 9:10pm, traffic from 101 southbound & 380 was backed up at least to the split of the ramp from 380 & 101 splitting to 101 & airport
Traffic from 101 northbound backed up 101's right lanes to Hyatt Regency.

I would expect such regulation to reduce the variety of low-end smartphones since it would increase per-model costs. It feels like there still ought to be enough demand to produce a bit of variety, with decent price competition.

As smartphones become more and more essential to modern life:
Are we as a society OK with rich people's smartphones (iPhone, Pixel) getting security updates and everybody else's smartphones not getting them?
It seems like the sort of market failure that needs regulation.

The * { box-sizing: inherit } seems not great but also not horrible (universal selector, inheriting box sizing). Hard to compare it with the calc() alternative without knowing what that alternative is.

The problem isn't redistricting. It's that there's no fair way to draw districts (though some are worse than others).
We should have a mixed-member proportional system like Germany or New Zealand. (But avoid NZ's rule that winning a district counts to cross the threshold.)
I hope Michigan passes this. But Congress should pass national independent redistricitng. Let’s finally rid our country of a system that allows politicians to draw lines to protect themselves and their friends.

I think it's mostly about autoplay with sound, falling back to autoplay muted if they don't have the permission.
Denying the ability to autoplay video just leads to horrible hacks like shipping video decoders with emscripten, or animated GIFs, wasting CPU and bandwidth.

I wish @SFBART painted lines for where to stand while waiting for a train (like in Tokyo) so crowds at Embarcadero didn't block people's ability to distribute themselves along the platform.
They could also encourage moving away from the escalators more...
