Fuck that noise. I'm building big and WSJ can suck it.

Intellectually, you're on the entrepreneurial path, with a purpose. How you emotionally defend yourself is also part of the entrepreneurial path - we work more hours for less money…

I hope this takedown isn't reflecting the emergence of an ad tech cabal...

"What is Aleppo?" = throwaway vote.

it's a tough problem. we're using the county-by-district database at US Census for our localization. https://www.census.gov/geo/maps-data/data/kml/kml_couwithinc... but we're not d…

you show up, take your ballot which registers a receipt, and abstain on that particular office/issue. but at least showing up to register your abstention IS your vote.

Sure it is - but it's universal to citizens participating in that society. if you're outside the system, YOU'RE OUTSIDE THE SYSTEM, including UBI. Doesn't mean you have to pick one…

Voting should be the single required act to trigger your Universal Basic Income for the year.

Looks like it's a county-by-county lookup function, crossed with state voting laws. We're building something county-by-county too - difficult locality matching issues.

It's an interesting concept to suggest an effective put option for the government, based perhaps on the auditable costs of successful R&D. But this would probably have to work both…

It feels like the "maturing process" has waned over the decades. It feels like people in the past were older, at younger age. This can't be due to the educational system - we have …

It's unfortunate the NYT story doesn't get into the billings process as part of the dysfunction. It makes me wonder how the pricing is then negotiated with the insurance companies.…

Liquid dynamics sounds like an interesting hypothesis, but I agree with the critics that entanglement presents a tough analogy. If Pilot Wave theory suggests that the particle-wave…
