So the FBI has time to raid an elections office in Georgia in order to prop up Trump’s conspiracy theories about losing the 2020 election… but not to release the Epstein Files?

IMPEACH DONALD TRUMP!

I actually think this lack of leadership and clear direction is exactly what's wrong with the Dems. Obama is being too nice!

We need leaders to stand up, declare a Nationwide general strike and put their heart, soul and money into it.

Enough of this "nice guy" stuff!

9. The purpose of software is to change the world, not make money. If yah can make some money along the way, then great. But that ain't what software is all about. Technology can change people's lives, ain't that good enough?

10. 100% Honesty and transparency is required. No matter how bad it gets

7. Put your kids and family first. Get your priorities straight. We don't have life with women and kids.

8. Live by principles. You have to look at yourself in the mirror every morning.

5. Customers come first. Design your product for you, customer #1. YOU are the most important person. And if you don't get it right, iterate until you do.

6. Zag while others zig. Don't stop until you get to the next FOMO.

10 Tenets to live by....

1. Time makes you patient. Only you know where you're going. Be that hockey puck.

2. Love what you do. YOLO.

3. Follow your instincts to the right partners. Don't stand alone. Pass that joint!

4. Prepare for death right now. Own nothing. Control everything.

I would chant along with the chefs at Inakaya. After I was kicked out of Macromedia, I cut a deal with Dentsu, for them to rep me. I spent $35,000 just on the translator to negotiate the deal.

This is a future of distributed micro-hydro power generators, which connects into the water grid and generates electricity while also serving as a remote pressure adjustment system.

Here's a micro-hydro power sustainable energy system that's finally getting some press. Its based in Oakland, CA and is part of a pilot project with EBMUD.

I've been tracking this technology and deployment for 3 years.

Steve Jobs in Exile | Dan'l Lewin | 11 comments This story needed to be told. | 11 comments on LinkedIn

Jobs called me up during his NeXT phase, right after I had been kicked out of my company. He wanted me to develop for the NeXT machine. I told him:

"I've developed software for a B&W Steve Jobs machine once before. Call me back when you have color."

This is 2003 or 04. Something like that.

We were at my fave Korean BBQ place on Geary "Brothers #2" - What this photo shows was the innocence and realization that the Web was a real-time beast.

Little did we have a clue what was coming.

The phenomena that erupted became known as a "viral moment." I don't think it was the very 1st viral moment, but it sure was awesome to us.

@GabeRivera was there. He had just started this news aggregator named "TechMeme."

Is Craigslist the Last Real Place on the Internet? Millennials are still using Craigslist to find jobs, love, and even to cast creative projectsβ€”eschewing other AI- and algorithm-dominated online spaces. β€œThere’s a purity to it.”

What's old is young again. I really wish Craig would open up and let devs get at his data.

Its not like he doesn't have enough money already?

By opening up, at least 10 new startups could prosper
