Looks like they learned some lessons the hard way. They were forced out of their original location by Oakland. "Iseman said after the inspection at 2836 Union Street that it might have cost $200,000 to $300,000 to bring the property an

I expected Whole Foods to acquire them. They have so much infrastructure on site at popular Whole Foods locations that it seemed inevitable.

I agree that there are plenty of differences between the technologies. But the investment comparison in the article seems accurate; a public Internet can be traced back before the 80s, and "early development" to the 60s. A public

I would love to hear their recollection of the day. Would make me feel better about my mistakes.

I flew to eastern Europe three years ago and had a stop-over in Tegel both ways. It was like traveling in the US before 9/11. I felt like a human being whose rights were self-evident. It was civil. I felt human. I also felt ashamed of

True. Add to that the farming of the grains you're feeding the animals, 90% of which will not be reclaimed in the final product. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trophic_level#Biomass_transfer... )

Fascinating. I never considered the carbon footprint of companion animals. I'm sure that cats are more harmful per mass unit than dogs, being obligate carnivores.

Once you conscript animals into human society they do require tremendous resources and they do pollute. You can look at animal agriculture for an extreme example. It's easy to forget that animals are very inefficient resources because

The whole thing should be a public utility like water, electricity, and sewer.

It's pretty easy to transfer your coins to an external wallet, and then spend it as you please.

Thank you for sharing your rare perspective. > My point being that its quite surprising how different experience can be and how important it is to listen to how others experience the world. That's advice that I would normally accept

"Mistakes" may be a strong word. I don't think anyone could do what Noisebridge does without some unexpected challenges. It's an ongoing experiment, and I am astonished that it continues to be a thriving community even w

That made me do a cartoonish head-shake. Is that something you can request from your physician? Is it the same process as donating marrow? How much does it cost? How long does it take? Is there science on this technique?

I'm curious, are you a man or a woman? I'm only asking because you cite your experience at 6 companies to support the assertion that this is not a widespread problem in SV. I assert that men would have a harder time detecting this

Wow, TiddlyWiki is still alive! I think I have a 10 year old thumb drive lying around with an early version on it. After cycling through Evernote, text files, and Google Keep, I'm eager to see what the TiddlyWiki experience is like. I&

Here's another source. https://liliputing.com/2017/01/kde-slimbook-linux-powered-la... the i7 upgrade with 16mb looks good, though I'd prefer better screen resolution.

I have settled on Google Keep for my note-taking, for ease of use and durability. I like that Standard Notes is similar, but adds privacy and the option for self-hosting. Being open source and extensible is a bonus!

When an animal is employed toward a human's profit, it usually ends poorly for the animal.

Yes, it is important to understand the awesome beauty of nature and why we should protect it. Ironically, you would be harming these animals by supporting the institutions that enslave them. There are many ways to learn about subjects witho

Agreed. At this age, I'm content to let the hard-working geniuses move the world forward and inspire me, while I do the best I can in my limited corner of it.

I like this idea of a gift-effort balance. Everyone requires a different mix to shine. But effort seems more important, as I see hard-working "average" people excel more often than lazy geniuses.

They would eat us for their own survival. We are now at a technological point that we eat them for our own pleasure. I argue that the latter if frivolous.

Similarly, I can look you straight in the eye and tell you that I feel fine, while I am in fact suffering great pain internally. Does this mean that I am not in pain? How could you know? You can't. There is no reason for an animal to d

It's like an octopus dismissing humans as inferior because our appendages lack suckers. I don't think humans can ever fully understanding other species. Yet, the more we observe, cut, and process other animals, the more of ourselv
