This is true. If you live near an airport the disclosure is required by law if you buy a house in the are. However, it doesn’t preclude expansion and changes. If for example your a…

How? Homeowners associations. I planted milkweed in an empty side yard and was cited for the same thing. Also I was cited for having a browning lawn. My neighbors brought me a bag …

I really think the US should require all college grads to spend a year overseas in a country that speaks a different language. I got an education and then I got a real education fr…

With all respect I don’t see how this changes anything but shifting who pays. How is it better to pool risks to the group rather than the individual paying a for that risk? The US …

No that’s exactly what we want. We want the free market to create efficiency without entrenched regulation, which could lead to some short-term increase in risk. But what you reall…

Mozilla seems to have integrity. It’s great to see. They should take the momentum of these values and launch an alternative to gmail.

None of this moves the needle on anything that matters to me. I don’t want to pay another subscription for yet another business that doesn’t offer material benefit. I love the long…

Yea same question. Op?

My sentiment exactly. I hope this does a fiery death. I will do everything in my power to resist this “innovation.” Who exactly in the state of California thinks this is worth tria…

Lol. I find many of them work in tech in New York and San Francisco. Go to burning man and see if that’s your tribe.

That’s really the thought that went through my head exactly.

Yea when someone in the public eye forgets the lessons they teach in kindergarten it’s always a little disappointing. I imagine he is mad at the guy, but I wish he would show a lit…

Keep going. Don’t quit. Don’t get discouraged. Keep applying. All careers require “finding your break.” It may take time. The worst thing you can do is get discouraged. You should …
