Or the people wouldn't live so far away from where they work thus freeing up more housing and lessening (at least for a time) the skyrocketing rental situation in the city.

Which proves his point beautifully. I have no idea what version the silly names refer to being an iPhone user. I do know them by their numeric identifiers though.

In Oakland you get one free "bulk load" trash pickup a year kindly provided by Waste Management.

I'm probably going to purchase a volt in the next year or two when my 2001 hyundai dies. I've got a little bit of sticker shock, but unless another car company comes out with a plug-in hybrid with a useful all electric range (pri

This is probably a valid concern for some services. Do you keep the address in log files somewhere?

I'm scientifically minded. I've loved science all my life. I'm decently well versed in many areas of science. GMO crops concern me because there is so much that we don't know about their effects and we don't reall

Haha. Thanks. (I previously worked at giftly, so I should be able to identify people by their correct titles.)

Dan is the former COO of Giftly, not Giftling! Reporters, bah! * - corrected thanks to the comment below. Originally wrote CEO, which was way wrong. Oops.

I had the pleasure of working with Dan at Giftly. These guys are smart and have some big ideas. Looking forward to seeing the company grow.

Sure, except that the perception of the middle class is significantly screwed (at least in the US, but probably similar up north). In the US, the median household income is $51,404[1]. So, the middle class should probably be centered aroun

So it is a little bit shocking when you see those numbers. Most of us immediately think of people who work on the subway or in public transit as meaningless low wage jobs. It seems to make sense. But what if you look at it from a slightly

That's definitely a decent list, but the problem for me is that you are also forced to have EVERYTHING ELSE! It's all nicely required in the for you in your app and there aren't straightforward ways to remove 90% of the stuf

Apparently Oakland is running a handful of police academy's this year in an effort to increase the size of the force. Salary's start in the $80's I think before overtime. Might be a pretty lucrative position. And you get t

The difference is that the random mutations are random across the genome while the GM wheat is universally altered in the same way. So, while you might not be harmed by the millions of random mutations in the non-GM slice of bread you eat,

But what if being a plumber gets you all of the things you want in life? What is this bar you are talking about? Not everyone wants to be or has to be at the absolute top of their potential. There's a huge disconnect between economic valu

It's probably a combination of things, but the correlation to the banning of lead seems to be the highest of any other single reason. http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2013/01/lead-crime-li...

I think the mac app store is a much much MUCH smaller market than the iOS app store. It's a new way for people to get apps on a desktop and my guess is the adoption is slower, so it isn't really surprising to me that 20 downloads puts you

by malyk 13y ago
Twilio is an example of this and so are some mail delivery services. Basically, you set up an auto-load so they get something like $20 up front and charge your account down as you use the service. Seems like a nice middle ground.

Same issue for me. It kept blocking the line of text I was reading.

Of course, it was a bit of hyperbole. It's meant as an illustration. I agree that there should be a centralized place to track, prioritize, and allocate work. But the comment I was responding to was about having a ticket for every code ch

College campuses are pretty nice for college, but I don't think they translate well as a city. I'll admit to being a bit of a new-urbanism and walkability snob, so when I look at a campus as "the city of the future" it makes me gag a bit.

All of them? I guess the big question is schools, which I know nothing about. But if you stay away from the worst parts of oakland than I think almost any east bay city would be pretty good. My wife and I live in North Oakland and we think
