Same here, and I think that may have been the idea. One of the things I loved about LJ was the ability to set moods, nested commenting, and a community spirit. Mood likes, better commenting, and Groups have started to adopt this LJ spirit (

Are you so sure it is foolish? How many open source projects do you use that you have also check up on the founders about? How many contributors do you know that have committed a crime? Do you check them all? I don't think most people

Their vendors also don't include the roofing type. For example, I have a flat tar roof and many vendors, such as Sungevity, won't install on it. Local vendors will, but are not on the list, and require I install a new roof first.

I ended up buying a Lockitron used on Fobo, and the sucker just didn't work. I tried for days to get it to set my wifi settings, and when it finally did work, the lock/unlock wasn't real time from the app; I would have to kno

In California, the deposit on milk bottles is 1.50, and you get the deposit back when you bring the bottles back to the store. I associate bottled milk as having premium quality, even though the total price after redemption is similar to wa

The problem is that Recology is a monopoly and racketeer. In 2012, the voters of San Francisco were asked if they would like to switch to a competitively priced system and they soundly voted no (Ref: http://ballotpedia.org/S

It depends on your goals. If you plan to live here forever, then you should buy, no question. If you plan to stay for just a few years, the taxes, transaction fees, and closing costs will eat you alive. Now a better question is if you plan

The chances are higher than you would think. A lot of folks who took the class and apply for a unit fail to meet the application deadlines or fill out their paperwork wrong. Others win a unit that they don't want, and drop out so they

No, not exactly. The buyer will need to be credit worthy, with at least 5% down plus closing costs. Additional cash in the bank actually reduces the income qualification. The rub comes in after a buyer moves in and the HOA fees go up, or th

Renting in SF is a strong value if you plan to live here for a while, but the property needs to be protected by rent control, otherwise you'll get wiped out during the booms and busts this city has. Owning is also a strong value over t

You don't need a 200k a year job to buy a house here. What you do need to do is be practical about where you are buying and have about 10% of the purchase price in your savings account. For someone in the low six figures, it is possibl

I think you have every right to be skeptical. The track record for our city employees and elected officials is abysmal. It is up to us, as voters, to maximize pressure on our political leaders and dole out consequence for failure. I've

Public transportation is bad within San Francisco for historical reasons. In the late 1940's, the voters passed an initiative to save the streetcars, but what happened was that Muni used revenue bonds to purchases buses in a sweetheart

Glass's camera is really good at taking quick photos of things and people that tend to move before you can pull out your camera. This makes it a useful tool for capturing cute baby or cat moments as they happen.

You can think of Glass like an android screen that is always with you. If you tilt your head up or tap the touchpad on the side, it will turn on and you can interact with your voice. The display itself reflects right into the back your eye,

I am unfortunately addicted to FOBO. It has made me use my iPad quite a bit more, but I wish they'd make an Android version too. I think they'll see more penetration once they add some social media sharing; I think they would do w

Cash is used anonymously and for shady dealings too. Compare this to the blockchain, which is public, not anonymous. There is no rule that says a currency has to be backed by a government, since people have traded without government backed

Depends on where you live and how much time you have. As a programmer, your main skill will earn you more in an hour than most people earn in a day. That said, don't burn yourself out, mix up your skills. If you drive a Lyft, you could
