Is the Pacific Research Institute that organized the SF Chinese community to riled up about dispensaries opening up in more residential neighborhoods?

Maybe cities should organize to bus all their homeless residents to DC Union Station and Dupont Circle so those in the squaky clean Capitol can understand that this is a national issue. MLK tried to do something similar before he was assassinated.

We voted down such an idea a century ago http://www.nationalaffairs.com/doclib/20080709_19991377isreg...

You don't think Measure M passed last year would make any difference? http://theplan.metro.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/factshee...

Is NASA co-operating with JAXA on this project? They've been working on a similar project for over a decade and last I heard were doing small scale tests.

On the flip side, I just went from OS X to Windows 10, which has Ubuntu available under developer settings...And now I can play all my old Windows Steam games.

Last time I used Windows for my workhorse was Vista.

The key being that the municipality won't give you crap for an "illegal settlement" until the land you're occupying suddenly becomes worth something.

If only there was a way to effectively measure the impact a charitable program has on it's service audience/region.

To quote a line from the documentary "Something Ventured":

"Who needs Harvard Business School when you have Silicon Valley Business School."

To be fair, I'm most likely paraphrasing. That being said I only have a GED/Some College experience and I've made it into Product Management.

I literally just saw a Russell Brand documentary on this. To be fair it was more galvanizing than factual.

Communism was Marcos'

What America needs are institutions similar to that of the apprenticeship programs of Western Europe. I came out of a one year job training program operating out of a non-profit with corporate partners (similar to the way it works in parts of the EU) that consists of college credit classes and industry experience. This lowers the barrier to entry for most young adults (like myself) to get into the job market and jump-start a career without going into debt.

After three years of graduating this program, I've now gone full circle working for a startup that supports the process of grant-making for foundations. That all being said, I recently put my income into fusion.net's millennial wage gap calculator to find that I come out into the top 6% of my generational cohort at a gross wage of 72k (at 23, I realize I'm an outlier). When I take into account that the majority of my friends around my are are still working service/retail jobs, I feel like something in our system needs to change before we experience a reckoning with a generation of kids with dead-end jobs.

You could even add driving a car to that list as well.

>it predicted Anonymous much better than I think most techies understand Anonymous today.

Simulacra is an ouroboros

I've always felt that Radio Shack at this juncture would be more profitable if they created locations that would serve as ad-hoc hacker spaces. Kinda like SF's Tech Shop but for the consumer. I imagine it as a mini Akahabara in your own town, with 3D printers, CNC machines, micro-controllers and SoCs all available to use/purchase, has lessons and other community events and staffed by capable people. Unfortunately I see it only as a maker's utopian pipe dream.
