WedWell has promise, but it is a difficult space. I began building on a very similar concept 8 years ago and quickly ended up pivoting off into a subproblem, because [at the time] …

My neighborhood has possibly one of the more generous plantable right-of-ways in the city; the sum of plantable ROW is wider than the paved surface. But most places it seems to be …

Wow. That looks inspired by a helicoptor's swashplate driven from the rotor side. Always fun to see an alternative engine design.

Also, in the US, people are willing to work full time at whatever job will provide health insurance.

TO loop this back around to the posted article, Seattle has a long and proud history of holdouts. Search for images of 'denny regrade' - long ago Seattle removed an entire hill, le…

I've got to agree with some of the comments here that this is insane. Sounds fun, but insane. There are probably 3 or 4 programming-intensive undergrad courses wound together here,…

> Fiber networks? Their employees security by funding Police and the Military? Health care for their employees and customers? Since the post complains largely about behavior in the…

The module syntax and local relabeling reminds me of module syntax in PLT/Racket a couple years back. Given JavaScript's heavy scheme influence to begin with, it seems like a good …

Passport. Credit Card. The rest is gravy.

I also find it disturbing. This sort of thing is exactly why I disabled my account; the family and friends who use Facebook heavily have forgotten how to communicate directly, they…

The piece does not address the fundamental point that you cannot with intellectual honesty claim as a right that which, to be satisfied, requires another human being to perform wor…

We start by accepting that food and shelter are basic human rights. The work we do -- the value we create -- is for the rest of what we want: the stuff that makes life fun, meaning…

As you commented to someone else in an earlier branch, carry that out a few steps; why might healthcare costs rise so much faster than any reasonable measure of the output which fu…

This seems inevitable, and positive. There are some friends of mine who dislike the resulting job shedding and concentration of wealth; I am not quite sure how that will shake out.…

An impressive suite of icons in a nice minimalist format. But...I guess looking at a large number of these, linguistic expressions seem to be less complex per concept than the icon…

By definition, as a renter, you pay those same costs plus a small proft margin plus a premium to cover the times it's not occupied. Unless your landlord is a moron.

Indeed. Most of my friends I have met through work or church or other friends; some sort of pre-existing common cause. Cultivating friendships "from scratch", so to speak, is admit…

In my 31 years of Seattle I guess I've found that friendships here are made and kept by doing active stuff together. Like camping, or boating, or cycling. There's not a lot of inte…

Sorry about the late reply. That's a creative idea. At first blush a defense of these seems equivalent in the sense that both are somewhat "stochastic" defense mechanisms - throw u…

'The cake is a lie' comes to mind...

not really necessary... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close-in_weapon_system

The money, part 2: paid accounts that allow you to hide the implicit activity track that you never asked all these strangers to record. Dont have an account? Too bad, your face is …

Accepting payment for services which you purport to have rendered but in reality have not. I would use 'fraud' instead of 'theft', though in reality it's close enough.
