"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

It’s time to put the public’s interests first, even if that means disrupting the disrupters.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peskin, joined by Supervisor Mark Farrell and Brian Wiedenmeier, the executive director of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, vowed to introduce legislation “prohibiting the unpermitted use of the public realm as a distribution platform for private bike-share corporations and other unregulated ‘sharing economy’ schemes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Jan. 16 letter to Bluegogo from Ed Reiskin, head of the Municipal Transportation Agency, and Mohammed Nuru, director of Public Works, asked the company to provide its business plan, show it has obtained a city business license, and confirm that its operations would not interfere with the city’s exclusive contract with Bay Area Motivate LLC, which operates Bay Area BikeShare, soon to become Ford GoBike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The exclusive bike-share contract contains just three exceptions: traditional bike-rental operations, electric scooter sharing, and automated round-trip bike sharing — systems that require users to return bicycles to the site where they’re rented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city letter warns that if Bluegogo’s business violated that contract provision, the city may withhold permits and could take legal action against the company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of equal concern, the letter said, was the company’s use of public sidewalks and streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To the extent that your shared bicycles will occupy the public right of way, we require they do so in compliance with local law and in a manner that does not constitute a public nuisance or public safety hazard,” the letter said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rachel Gordon, a spokeswoman for San Francisco Public Works, said the department has the authority to remove the bikes if they become a hazard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11276996\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11276996\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/Screen-Shot-2017-01-19-at-10.24.04-AM-1020x532.png\" alt=\"Bluegogo insists its bikes will be placed only where its legal to park a bicycle, and that its users will be instructed to do the same.\" width=\"640\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/Screen-Shot-2017-01-19-at-10.24.04-AM-1020x532.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/Screen-Shot-2017-01-19-at-10.24.04-AM-160x83.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/Screen-Shot-2017-01-19-at-10.24.04-AM-800x417.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/Screen-Shot-2017-01-19-at-10.24.04-AM-1180x616.png 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/Screen-Shot-2017-01-19-at-10.24.04-AM-960x501.png 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/Screen-Shot-2017-01-19-at-10.24.04-AM-240x125.png 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/Screen-Shot-2017-01-19-at-10.24.04-AM-375x196.png 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/Screen-Shot-2017-01-19-at-10.24.04-AM-520x271.png 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/Screen-Shot-2017-01-19-at-10.24.04-AM.png 1221w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bluegogo’s bikes have locking clamps on the back wheels, and an alarm sounds when the bikes move without being unlocked. \u003ccite>(Photo courtesy of Bluegogo)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In an interview, Ilya Movshovich, Bluegogo’s vice president of U.S. operations, said considering that San Francisco is “a bike city,” Bluegogo was shocked to see the pushback from city officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re still happy to be cooperative and collaborative,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an email to SFMTA officials dated Jan. 2 and provided by Bluegogo, Movshovich wrote to Luis Montoya, the head of the SFMTA’s livable streets program. He inquired about what permits the company might need and shared some general information about the company’s planned operation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I understand that according to California law, we can’t drop our bikes in positions that would disrupt an adequate path for pedestrian traffic. We don’t intend to do that. We also have a system in place to monitor, review and reward/penalize users for bicycle placement behavior.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Movshovich wrote that the company would charge a $99 deposit that “would hedge against damaged bikes or if the user is irresponsible with bike placement or any actions that would jeopardize the safety of others — they would get assessed a warning, and possibly a fine.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bluegogo says it plans to charge 99 cents for every 30 minutes, along with the $99 deposit. The cheapest Bay Area BikeShare membership is $9 for 24 hours, a charge that provides unlimited rides up to 30 minutes each; rides of 30 to 60 minutes incur a $4 overage fee; rides over 60 minutes cost $7 for each additional half-hour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Users can locate a bike with the Bluegogo app, reserve it and have about 15 minutes to pick it up before the reservation expires. The bikes weigh 33 pounds and come equipped with airless tires, so users don’t have to worry about flats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The beauty is the fact that we don’t have docking stations, which makes us special and unique in this market,” said Movshovich, who is also co-founder of the shared-parking startup \u003ca href=\"https://www.carmanation.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CARMAnation\u003c/a>. “It’s more likely that people are going to be using the bikes when it’s a couple of steps from them as opposed to a couple of blocks. We bring easier access.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Movshovich wouldn’t talk numbers, neither confirming the amount of funding the company has raised nor the number of bikes the company plans to deploy around the city. But he said it’s nowhere near 10,000 to 20,000, as some have speculated. The company can scale up or down depending on the demand, he said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

He inquired about what permits the company might need and shared some general information about the company’s planned operation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I understand that according to California law, we can’t drop our bikes in positions that would disrupt an adequate path for pedestrian traffic. We don’t intend to do that. We also have a system in place to monitor, review and reward/penalize users for bicycle placement behavior.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Movshovich wrote that the company would charge a $99 deposit that “would hedge against damaged bikes or if the user is irresponsible with bike placement or any actions that would jeopardize the safety of others — they would get assessed a warning, and possibly a fine.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bluegogo says it plans to charge 99 cents for every 30 minutes, along with the $99 deposit. The cheapest Bay Area BikeShare membership is $9 for 24 hours, a charge that provides unlimited rides up to 30 minutes each; rides of 30 to 60 minutes incur a $4 overage fee; rides over 60 minutes cost $7 for each additional half-hour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Users can locate a bike with the Bluegogo app, reserve it and have about 15 minutes to pick it up before the reservation expires. The bikes weigh 33 pounds and come equipped with airless tires, so users don’t have to worry about flats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The beauty is the fact that we don’t have docking stations, which makes us special and unique in this market,” said Movshovich, who is also co-founder of the shared-parking startup \u003ca href=\"https://www.carmanation.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CARMAnation\u003c/a>. “It’s more likely that people are going to be using the bikes when it’s a couple of steps from them as opposed to a couple of blocks. We bring easier access.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Movshovich wouldn’t talk numbers, neither confirming the amount of funding the company has raised nor the number of bikes the company plans to deploy around the city. But he said it’s nowhere near 10,000 to 20,000, as some have speculated. The company can scale up or down depending on the demand, he said.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

I was at the gate my first week here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s so complex,” Smith said. “It’s so far ahead of the code, that we regularly go through to figure out what they’re doing, how do we protect them, what’s the best way to do this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith is like many city officials after the Ghost Ship fire, eager to work with artists, entrepreneurs, and makers — all of whom bring innovation and taxes to their cities. “This city is pro-artist and pro-maker,” Smith said. But he added that he always worries that he could be overlooking a major safety hazard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we do our job, nothing happens,” Smith said. “I have prevented more death and injury than any first responder in the history of mankind.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith said what he found at Factory 510 was a neon art installation with bare wires tied to the building steel in an area designated as a refuge, a safe room to which people could go in the event of a fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People would have gotten electrocuted,” Smith said. “And the neon was suspended over the top of the exit path. Can you imagine if we had an earthquake event. It would have shattered, you would have gotten a glass shower.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Edison said Smith and the fire inspector told her that “anything that could loosely be called art was no longer something that could be permitted.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Artist Nick Randell, who installed the neon said, “I did some wonderful installations here which I assure you were perfectly safe. I’ve been setting up neon in places for over 30 years and I have yet to electrocute anyone or burn anything down.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnstone said the inspectors warned him that he had flammable paintings hanging on a wall, and he was ordered to remove them. That established, what he called, an impossible safety standard for a working artist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Landlord\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile SKB’s Steve Wong said in a phone interview that the inspection was only a minor factor in ending the company’s arrangement with Edison and the artists she was leasing to. “Part of Edison’s job was going away,” Wong said, “because she’d done such a good job of leasing the space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If anything the timing of it relative to the Oakland fire may have accelerated it by a few months,” Wong said. “And some of those folks leaving were short term tenants under Cheryl’s purview.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wong said SKB was happy with the work Edison did bringing in artists and tech entrepreneurs. But the company “needed to take a couple of steps back because of the additional scrutiny on fire and safety.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Plea For a Home\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back at Factory 510, neon artist Nick Randell takes the long view on his eviction. “This is just a temporary setback,” said Randell. “Our work is done here. Artists come in when a place is down at the heels. And once it gets successful they get rid of us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And despite losing her consultancy with SKB, Edison said “There are no villains here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The real problem, she said, is that cities still don’t understand how to take the Bay Area’s many under-used warehouses and “upcycle those buildings to allow them to be used safely and adequately for new uses.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Edison paused a minute. “I’m not going to cry,” she said, tearing up for just a second.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m reaching out to the mayor of Alameda, the mayor of Berkeley, the mayor of Oakland,” Edison said. “Have you got a space for dozens and dozens of tech companies and artists, who play by the rules, who want to be safe, and need a place to make innovation thrive, and make an economy thrive?

Angel Island, for example, has a sensor that detects particulates in the air. When there are enough particles, the foghorn goes off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some foghorns, even some very important ones, require a human to flip a switch or press a button.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This brings us to our final stop: the Golden Gate Bridge.

That’s nine decibels louder than the point at which a person starts to feel pain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, Territo says they redirected the foghorns more toward the center of the bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And then the Alcatraz prisoners were complaining that it was interrupting their sleep,” he says. Those complaints were largely ignored, however, and the foghorns stayed that way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I meet Territo with the goal of seeing the Golden Gate Bridge foghorns. They’re frequent favorites with some nautical experts because of their design: The horns run on compressed air, while more modern ones are electric. I also want to get a sense of just how loud these are, and find out who turns them on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To get to two out of the five foghorns on the bridge, we have to go down 240 feet through a secret door that, if you’ve ever walked across the Golden Gate Bridge, you have passed and likely not noticed.

Angel Island, for example, has a sensor that detects particulates in the air. When there are enough particles, the foghorn goes off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some foghorns, even some very important ones, require a human to flip a switch or press a button.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This brings us to our final stop: the Golden Gate Bridge. Our guide is operating engineer Mario Territo with the \u003ca href=\"http://goldengate.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Golden Gate Bridge, Highway & Transportation District\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the bridge opened in the 1930s, he says, there were a lot of complaints from people who lived in San Francisco because they were being kept awake by the foghorns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They run 149 decibels,” Territo says. That’s nine decibels louder than the point at which a person starts to feel pain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, Territo says they redirected the foghorns more toward the center of the bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And then the Alcatraz prisoners were complaining that it was interrupting their sleep,” he says. Those complaints were largely ignored, however, and the foghorns stayed that way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I meet Territo with the goal of seeing the Golden Gate Bridge foghorns. They’re frequent favorites with some nautical experts because of their design: The horns run on compressed air, while more modern ones are electric. I also want to get a sense of just how loud these are, and find out who turns them on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To get to two out of the five foghorns on the bridge, we have to go down 240 feet through a secret door that, if you’ve ever walked across the Golden Gate Bridge, you have passed and likely not noticed. Then we squeeze into a phone booth-size elevator inside the South Tower of the bridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When we scramble out onto a concrete platform, we’re just 40 feet above the bay waves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11275755\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11275755\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23442_161219_GGFoghorns_bhs04-qut-800x1200.jpg\" alt=\"A rare view of the Golden Gate Bridge from the concrete base of its South Tower.\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23442_161219_GGFoghorns_bhs04-qut-800x1200.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23442_161219_GGFoghorns_bhs04-qut-160x240.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23442_161219_GGFoghorns_bhs04-qut-1020x1530.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23442_161219_GGFoghorns_bhs04-qut-1180x1770.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23442_161219_GGFoghorns_bhs04-qut-960x1440.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23442_161219_GGFoghorns_bhs04-qut-240x360.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23442_161219_GGFoghorns_bhs04-qut-375x563.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23442_161219_GGFoghorns_bhs04-qut-520x780.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23442_161219_GGFoghorns_bhs04-qut.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A rare view of the Golden Gate Bridge from the concrete base of its South Tower. \u003ccite>(Brittany Hosea-Small/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“As you can see, we’re on the South Tower Pier,” Territo says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He points to two orange tanks on the concrete platform.

"content": "\u003cp>Last October, Matt Herich was listening to the news while he drove door to door delivering pizzas. A story came on the radio about a technology that sends an electric current through your brain to possibly make you better at some things — moving, remembering, learning. He was fascinated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The neurotechnology is called transcranial direct current stimulation, or tDCS for short. At its simplest, the method involves a device that uses little more than a 9-volt battery and some electrodes to send a low-intensity electrical current to a targeted area of the brain, \u003ca href=\"http://www.jove.com/video/2744/electrode-positioning-montage-transcranial-direct-current\">typically via a headset\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than a 1,000 studies have been published in peer-reviewed journals over the last decade suggesting benefits of the technique — maybe \u003ca href=\"http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0014488609001290\">regulating mood\u003c/a>, possibly \u003ca href=\"http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0166432809006536\">improving language skills\u003c/a> — but its effects, good \u003cem>or\u003c/em> bad, are far from clear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although researchers see possibilities for tDCS in treating diseases and boosting performance, it's still an exploratory technology, says Mark George, editor-in-chief of \u003cem>Brain Stimulation\u003c/em>, a leading journal on neuromodulation. And leading experts have \u003ca href=\"http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.3109/10601333.2015.980944?needAccess=true\">warned against at-home use\u003c/a> of such devices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If we can figure out safe long-term applications, it's so inexpensive we might be able to use it to boost tons of things,\" says George, a professor at the Medical University of South Carolina. \"But I have to underline \u003cem>might \u003c/em>-- we don't know yet.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Herich finished his shift delivering pizzas, he raced home and began googling. He found a thriving \u003ca href=\"https://www.reddit.com/r/tDCS/\">community on Reddit\u003c/a> and other online forums dedicated to discussing ways to self-administer tDCS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After reading some scientific studies on neurostimulation, Herich decided to give it a try. He eventually got his hands on a rudimentary tDCS device made by a student at Northern Arizona University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I did my research before I put the device on my head,\" Herich says. \"So it was a mix between me being confident it would be safe and me taking a leap of faith.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his opinion, the leap of faith paid off. Herich takes online courses on machine learning, and he says that one 20-minute session of tDCS puts him in a state of intense focus that increases his productivity and helps him learn abstract math much faster than before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Herich is not alone — beyond the DIY neurostimulation community, companies are cashing in on the phenomenon, offering brain stimulation kits and ready-to-wear headsets, like \u003ca href=\"http://www.wsj.com/articles/this-gadget-gives-you-a-low-voltage-pick-me-up-1437503825\">Thync\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://techcrunch.com/2016/11/16/halo-neuroscience/\">Halo\u003c/a>. While the simplest devices can be made with items found in a hardware store, the best-selling versions like \u003ca href=\"http://www.caputron.com/transcutaneous-electrical-stimulation/54-activadose-ii.html?search_query=activadose&results=3\">ActivaDose\u003c/a> or the \u003ca href=\"https://foc.us/\">Foc.us\u003c/a> can cost more than $300.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And sales of the devices spike at fairly regular times, says Robin Azzam, CEO of a leading tDCS retailer \u003ca href=\"http://www.caputron.com/content/11-tdcs-device-comaparison\">Caputron\u003c/a>: around college midterms and finals. Caputron also helps point customers to academic studies about tDCS. And Azzam says articles on cognitive enhancement are in particularly high demand during exam times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>George says he's also heard students are using tDCS to study for exams, but he doesn't recommend it: There isn't enough data to back up claims that it is effective or safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says an updated article will be published soon detailing the experts' concerns about liberal use of tDCS by the DIY community. The main worries include the risks of mistakes in administration by amateurs and the uncertainty of long-term harmful effects of the technique.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides, George says, at-home users that attempt to study with the device may actually be doing themselves a disservice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When we learn something, we're more likely to remember it in the same environment as when we learned it,\" he says. \"So if you study with one of these devices on and then you take your test without the device, you've violated that rule. You may be very good with it on, but unless they allow you to do that in the exam you're actually hurting yourself.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plus, the safety of devices can vary — given that most tDCS devices aren't marketed with specific medical claims, they are not reviewed by the Food and Drug Administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A lot of the people that buy these think that they're safe because a company is allowed to sell them,\" says Vince Clark, director of the Psychology Clinical Neuroscience Center at the University of New Mexico. \"What they don't know is that a lot of those devices are never evaluated by the FDA. They go to market without safety studies that everybody expects must have happened. They haven't.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But like Herich, many users read the literature that supports and condemns tDCS use outside of clinical settings and choose to move forward anyway. And according to \u003ca href=\"http://jme.bmj.com/content/early/2015/08/30/medethics-2015-102704.short\">one academic review of the do-it-yourself brain stimulation community\u003c/a>, most DIYers do draw heavily on existing scientific knowledge, circulate academic journal articles and adopt the standard electrode placement used by scientists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I do understand the risks,\" Herich says. \"I know ... the nature of what it is that I'm doing, connecting a 9-volt to the forehead.\" He acknowledges that to many people it may sound crazy. \"I don't know,\" he says, \"I think I just accept that risk.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

And leading experts have \u003ca href=\"http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.3109/10601333.2015.980944?needAccess=true\">warned against at-home use\u003c/a> of such devices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If we can figure out safe long-term applications, it's so inexpensive we might be able to use it to boost tons of things,\" says George, a professor at the Medical University of South Carolina. \"But I have to underline \u003cem>might \u003c/em>-- we don't know yet.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He found a thriving \u003ca href=\"https://www.reddit.com/r/tDCS/\">community on Reddit\u003c/a> and other online forums dedicated to discussing ways to self-administer tDCS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After reading some scientific studies on neurostimulation, Herich decided to give it a try. He eventually got his hands on a rudimentary tDCS device made by a student at Northern Arizona University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I did my research before I put the device on my head,\" Herich says. \"So it was a mix between me being confident it would be safe and me taking a leap of faith.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his opinion, the leap of faith paid off. Herich takes online courses on machine learning, and he says that one 20-minute session of tDCS puts him in a state of intense focus that increases his productivity and helps him learn abstract math much faster than before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Herich is not alone — beyond the DIY neurostimulation community, companies are cashing in on the phenomenon, offering brain stimulation kits and ready-to-wear headsets, like \u003ca href=\"http://www.wsj.com/articles/this-gadget-gives-you-a-low-voltage-pick-me-up-1437503825\">Thync\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://techcrunch.com/2016/11/16/halo-neuroscience/\">Halo\u003c/a>. While the simplest devices can be made with items found in a hardware store, the best-selling versions like \u003ca href=\"http://www.caputron.com/transcutaneous-electrical-stimulation/54-activadose-ii.html?search_query=activadose&results=3\">ActivaDose\u003c/a> or the \u003ca href=\"https://foc.us/\">Foc.us\u003c/a> can cost more than $300.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And sales of the devices spike at fairly regular times, says Robin Azzam, CEO of a leading tDCS retailer \u003ca href=\"http://www.caputron.com/content/11-tdcs-device-comaparison\">Caputron\u003c/a>: around college midterms and finals. Caputron also helps point customers to academic studies about tDCS. And Azzam says articles on cognitive enhancement are in particularly high demand during exam times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>George says he's also heard students are using tDCS to study for exams, but he doesn't recommend it: There isn't enough data to back up claims that it is effective or safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says an updated article will be published soon detailing the experts' concerns about liberal use of tDCS by the DIY community. The main worries include the risks of mistakes in administration by amateurs and the uncertainty of long-term harmful effects of the technique.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides, George says, at-home users that attempt to study with the device may actually be doing themselves a disservice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When we learn something, we're more likely to remember it in the same environment as when we learned it,\" he says. \"So if you study with one of these devices on and then you take your test without the device, you've violated that rule. You may be very good with it on, but unless they allow you to do that in the exam you're actually hurting yourself.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plus, the safety of devices can vary — given that most tDCS devices aren't marketed with specific medical claims, they are not reviewed by the Food and Drug Administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A lot of the people that buy these think that they're safe because a company is allowed to sell them,\" says Vince Clark, director of the Psychology Clinical Neuroscience Center at the University of New Mexico. \"What they don't know is that a lot of those devices are never evaluated by the FDA. They go to market without safety studies that everybody expects must have happened. They haven't.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But like Herich, many users read the literature that supports and condemns tDCS use outside of clinical settings and choose to move forward anyway. And according to \u003ca href=\"http://jme.bmj.com/content/early/2015/08/30/medethics-2015-102704.short\">one academic review of the do-it-yourself brain stimulation community\u003c/a>, most DIYers do draw heavily on existing scientific knowledge, circulate academic journal articles and adopt the standard electrode placement used by scientists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I do understand the risks,\" Herich says. \"I know ... the nature of what it is that I'm doing, connecting a 9-volt to the forehead.\" He acknowledges that to many people it may sound crazy. \"I don't know,\" he says, \"I think I just accept that risk.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

The tipping point for Pham came when salon owners wanted to change employees’ work designation to \"independent contractor\" — but without any of the benefits of being a contractor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They wanted us to rent the work stations, get an independent license, but all of those other things wouldn’t change, we still would have to give up 40 percent of our money to the owner,\" Pham says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California labor law says if business owners set the rates and hours of employment, they need to pay workers as employees, not contractors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Helen Chen is coordinator of public programs at the UC Berkeley \u003ca href=\"http://lohp.org/\">Labor Occupational Health Program\u003c/a>. She says it’s extremely common in the nail salon industry for owners to avoid paying overtime, vacations or holidays, or even provide work breaks. But to do all of that to employees, and then make them pay for the privilege of working there, that seems to have hit a nerve with salon employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"MVpQOnuXM50hPItpxfN6WjkxLE9mCaQv\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This question of whether workers are independent contractors or employees is a gateway question for the nail salon community,” Chen says. “It can be very difficult to penetrate those employment practices and change them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state is trying. A \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/15-16/bill/asm/ab_2001-2050/ab_2025_cfa_20160627_181456_sen_comm.html\">new law \u003c/a>goes into effect in July in California -- as part of all license renewals, salon owners and workers will need to sign off on a basic understanding of California labor law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones of the Beauty Federation says the end result of changes in salary structure within the nail salon industry will be felt by consumers. The days of the impossibly cheap $16 mani-pedi could come to an end. He thinks that may not be a bad thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you see a nail salon that’s offering a mani-pedi for under $20, the first reaction of course, it’s human nature, is, 'Yippee! Let’s go!'\" Jones says. “But hopefully with some time and reflection, you need to start asking as a consumer, 'What goes into a manicure and a pedicure?'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a common saying in the Vietnamese community: Don’t kick your bowl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this case, lawsuit proponents say, that means: don’t raise a fuss, even when you think employment practices might violate state law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vietnamese nail salons are a closed and insular community, advocates say. Airing this case in court might do more than help four former nail salon workers -- it could help change employment practices that are both accepted and illegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A preliminary hearing is set for Jan. 27 in Orange County Superior Court.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The women say salon owners violated state labor laws in a number of ways, including breaking minimum wage law. \u003ccite>(David Gorn/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit says the system of paying workers strictly on commission resulted in manicurists often working long hours for little pay, with the potential for salary to even fall below minimum wage. The tipping point for Pham came when salon owners wanted to change employees’ work designation to \"independent contractor\" — but without any of the benefits of being a contractor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They wanted us to rent the work stations, get an independent license, but all of those other things wouldn’t change, we still would have to give up 40 percent of our money to the owner,\" Pham says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California labor law says if business owners set the rates and hours of employment, they need to pay workers as employees, not contractors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Helen Chen is coordinator of public programs at the UC Berkeley \u003ca href=\"http://lohp.org/\">Labor Occupational Health Program\u003c/a>. She says it’s extremely common in the nail salon industry for owners to avoid paying overtime, vacations or holidays, or even provide work breaks. But to do all of that to employees, and then make them pay for the privilege of working there, that seems to have hit a nerve with salon employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This question of whether workers are independent contractors or employees is a gateway question for the nail salon community,” Chen says. “It can be very difficult to penetrate those employment practices and change them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state is trying. A \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/15-16/bill/asm/ab_2001-2050/ab_2025_cfa_20160627_181456_sen_comm.html\">new law \u003c/a>goes into effect in July in California -- as part of all license renewals, salon owners and workers will need to sign off on a basic understanding of California labor law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones of the Beauty Federation says the end result of changes in salary structure within the nail salon industry will be felt by consumers. The days of the impossibly cheap $16 mani-pedi could come to an end. He thinks that may not be a bad thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you see a nail salon that’s offering a mani-pedi for under $20, the first reaction of course, it’s human nature, is, 'Yippee! Let’s go!'\" Jones says. “But hopefully with some time and reflection, you need to start asking as a consumer, 'What goes into a manicure and a pedicure?'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a common saying in the Vietnamese community: Don’t kick your bowl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this case, lawsuit proponents say, that means: don’t raise a fuss, even when you think employment practices might violate state law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vietnamese nail salons are a closed and insular community, advocates say. Airing this case in court might do more than help four former nail salon workers -- it could help change employment practices that are both accepted and illegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A preliminary hearing is set for Jan. 27 in Orange County Superior Court.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
