I'm looking for a permanent situation rather than a hotel alternative, but thanks.

This sounds like a good argument against working for large companies.

Radar will just be another crutch for a bad driver. Good drivers make sure that they always have an out, check their mirrors and blind spots as often as possible, stay safely away from other drivers, and do their best to control the situati

Ages ago I worked at a peer to peer startup named Kontiki, named after the boat. Our founder was very much the "always wearing a hawaiian shirt type" and flew both Knut and Thor out to our launch party. They were both jovial old guys!

As usual, Scoble misses the boat by several magnitudes in his aim to over-sensationalize something he read on techmeme. I would personally put safety glass, airbags, anti-lock brakes, traction control, and crumple zones ahead of radar. Thos

That future is a long way off. Comcast has been basically blocking this future by convincing large apartment complexes to sign exclusivity contracts for cable that prevent competition, and since FTTP is a "triple-play", they get locked out.

Tracy Kidder (Soul Of A New Machine) wrote a fantastic book about some of the epidemiologists who have been working for the past few decades on the problem, but from the POV of a sociologist. The book is "Mountains Beyond Mountains", and ma

This article is sadly ignoring BB King, who is 84 and still plays 200-300 shows per year. He's been doing this since before most of our parents were born.

I probably used ZipCar 100+ times this year, and I am not sure that I ever used a hybrid. I know I never used a Prius (none are ever available in the 8 lots within 2 blocks of my apartment)

You say Solution as if there's really a problem? What's the statistic, one incident for every 16m miles? The real problem is the culture of fear these kinds of ideas perpetuate, ie letting the "terrorists" win in their main goal, which is t

I live in SOMA (San Francisco) on Folsom between 3rd Street & 2nd street. There is an Enterprise on Folsom between 3rd Street & Folsom, right next to Twitter. Draw your own conclusions.

Maybe they could come up with a browser that isn't more broken than IE on Windows XP, and say "the UI is good enough until we fix the more important bugs"? I know, that's crazy talk.

Thinking through this more (there's now a raging debate going on about this is now going on in my home office) my best guess is that Whole Foods has this "evil" image because of their union-busting history. I think the first time I heard so

I think the real solution is to get more of the populace to buy organic food. If the demand is there, the production will quickly follow, especially with mass market consumption.

Why should they? I mean, they're a business, not a charity, and they operate on razor slim margins. Like most other large grocers, their net income is under 2%.

by dnsworks 17y ago
Organic, sustainable produce is inherently more expensive than mass-market, factory farm-grown produce. Complaining that Whole Foods is expensive is like getting into your Tesla Roadaster and complaining about the price of electricity.

Forgive me, I don't watch fox nows, and generally do not find myself making a fist over the scandal of the minute. If anything, I'm intolerant of the tabloid nature of the press, and the people who find themselves filled with righteous indi

I was treated intolerantly and kicked out of a fat guy clothing store by a crazy catholic store clerk for not caring that the Pope fell down.

Telcos actually make out like bandits on rural DSL, often getting 300-400% subsidies from the Universal Service Funds. I have a friend who has about 400 rural broadband subscribers and he said he charges $30/month, collects $150/month per

It's actually UltraDNS that went down. Many, many sites are unavailable right now.

The Economist, because I find their content fascinating, editorial integrity to be second to no other mainstream magazine. They even admitted their mistake for backing Bush over Gore. Plus it's fun to read all of those stodgy old Economists

Brian, thanks for the advice. I actually sat down with @progrium (Jeff) a few weeks ago. Really, really smart guy, and the work that him & @jf have done so far with Domdori & EventDNS is awesome!

The problem I'm solving is not about volume, but rather a value proposition. There is value in reducing the number of operations problems that a company needs to solve. DNS as a platform isn't really about serving content, but providing dat

Absolutely. The first product we're building is a managed, authoritative DNS service on a highly redundant global network, with a great RESTful API and a low-cost, metered billing. After that's launched, we plan on adding some enterprise f
