The intent of opening and consuming a champagne bottle is different from the intent of mixing explosive chemicals in a sealed chamber, at a public school. I imagine if a child brought a champagne bottle to a school cafeteria, shook it up a

Immediately citing racism as the reason for her punishment isn't grasping at straws, it's ignorant. Did you read the part where she was creating _explosives_ on school property? Especially within two weeks of a major bombing involving hous

I don't understand the "driving sucks, regardless of circumstances" mentality. Automobiles increase quality of life, along with practical range. "My wife doesn't even have a license anymore. It's incredibly liberating." Really? "I seriousl

I didn't really hear about any responses to law enforcement entering homes. If they were sweeping the area did anyone refuse entry? Also really looking forward to the knee-jerk anti 2nd ammendment lobby using another tragedy as a prop.

I guess this gives nice visualization to the deplorable state of Muni. Right now I see nine L trains clustered basically on top of each other in the Sunset. Maybe one between market and West Portal and one on market near Embarcadero. I ta

Where do these assholes get off on speaking for the entire "tech community"? As far as I can tell there are a few website developers and vc partners on the founder list.

Not much to this post for being on the front page, I guess I'll follow up with grow some thick skin. It's stupid not to.

I suppose the point I'm making is to the general sentiment I'm seeing in this thread. It will take better than a 50% success rate of putting satellites into orbit before Lockheed starts thinking about the huge disruption I keep hearing abo

Launching a multi-billion dollar satellite is a different than a hello world rails application. The ULA record of successfully putting dozens of satellites into the _correct_ orbit is important here. Which I don't even think SpaceX has do

I'd like to know how many of these stop-and-frisk cases result in discovery of a crime.

I see a lot of comments addressed to "this guy" referring to Steve Blank. Let's not forget he's been involved in silicon valley startups since the 70s, including founding semiconductor companies. While they're no hello world rails startup

How about a conference? Music festival? I was at Outside Lands in GG park a few weekends ago and (given the price of a 3-day pass was $200) there were plenty of location aware smartphones used by ~60k people.

I agree that science and faith are theoretically compatible, but you intentionally omit that they have been compatible in practice for hundreds of years. I would say that the evidence that they are compatible is overwhelming: http://en.wik

For some reason Apple spawns the opposite of such hatred. Zealous apple fans stand in lines for days to purchase products, I think some of the hatred is directed at that behavior. Back on topic though, some people just haven't drank the k
