Toronto re-embraces small-scale retail

Good news: If you would like to open a small-scale retail business in Toronto — and you have a property that is residentially zoned on a major street (in one of the approved areas), or you have a corner property on a designated “community street,” or you have a property that abuts a non-residential use such as a park or public school — you may now be allowed to do it, with some restrictions. (Consult your local planner for exact details.) This, as we talked about recently, is meaningful progr...

Machines That Feel Their Own Confusion

What if AI could sense its own uncertainty—not with emotion, but with signal? This piece explores a new frontier in machine intelligence: systems that don’t just generate answers, but reflect on their own reliability. In a world shaped by artificial minds, perhaps the next leap isn’t brilliance—it’s doubt.

Own the quote; own the economy

Last week we hosted our inaugural Re7 Social crypto social research day, with talks from Salvino, David Phillips, and Jacob Horne - founders who've iterated in this space more than most. One theme emerged: how asset-creation platforms capture value, or how value is captured in a world where the cost of creating tokens asymptotes to zero. The idea I'm taking seriously after this research day can be expressed in one line: token pairing is a clean business model for asset‑creation platforms - pa...

A simple framework for thinking about value engineering

We all know what value engineering is when it comes to buildings. Generally speaking, it is the process of trying to identify high-cost items with relatively low perceived value. Once you identify these items, you then remove them (if you can), replace them with alternatives, or find other creative solutions. All projects have to do this at one point or another because, well, money doesn't grow on trees. One way to think about this is in terms of the following four-quadrant chart:Low-value an...

Crypto Doesn’t Have a Distribution Problem

“We have 716 million crypto owners. So why aren’t they using anything?” The assumption behind that question is that there’s been some catastrophic activation failure — that the industry has poured hundreds of millions of people into the top of a funnel, only to lose them before they ever touch a wallet, a dapp, or an on-chain interaction. But that interpretation gets the entire situation backwards. There is no funnel to fix. There is no mass of “inactive users” waiting to be converted. What a...

The Mexican Restaurant

Her eyes darted past the back of his head through to his mouth. She twisted her old mouth into a shape more ugly. I shouldn't tell you about how old she looked. I'll her lead for the rest of my life. If I hate her drooping face, if I perceive her existance as past-prime, leathery, decomposing, painful, and pitiful, I'm fucked. So, I'll change. I'm sure of it! My friends will read this and shame me, and I'll change. I'll see that getting older is beautiful; Wrinkles hold experience well earned...

Modals In Mini-Apps

TL;DR Farcaster mini-apps have a lot of design constraints to deal with, and I think that modals (and tooltips) are a really useful design element for mini-apps in light of those constraints. I've been trying out a lot of mini-apps on Farcaster lately, just noticing things and hoping to discover something of value somewhere along the way.One takeaway from my mini-app hopping so far is that modals (and tooltips, which are small modals to me) are my favourite design element in mini-apps at the ...

Toronto isn't as car-oriented as you might think

One of the things that I’ll often hear people say about Toronto is that we’re a car-oriented city with inadequate transit, and that’s why we simply can’t implement things like congestion pricing. Usually it’s accompanied by statements like this: “Sure, I can see how it might work in London or New York, but they have proper transit systems, and we don’t.” But is this really fair to say? Let’s look at some of the data from the 2022 Transportation Tomorrow Survey. For all trips starting and endi...
