I love the juxtaposition in one of the first pictures of this super advanced contraption being rolled into place using plywood and logs. It totally looks like it could be a still from the a movie where medieval humans discover some sort of

Agreed - a friend in Tokyo mentioned that his neighborhood had small apartments that didn't have their own bathrooms but instead came with unlimited access to the public bathhouse down the street. If you were down with that tradeoff yo

I would love to see these offices turned into housing as much as anyone, but I also recommend reading this amazing NYT article on why it's not quite so simple as just rezoning or a simple interior remodel - https://www.nytim

I just looked this up since I have bamboo floors I'm considering refinishing, and this resource[0] seems reputable and indicates that it's very doable but you should wear PPE to protect yourself. [0] https://www.floori

Thanks for this feedback, and I definitely think we could do a better job of making it clear which orgs we have a direct relationship with vs not. That being said, Network for Good, our partner for disbursing to nonprofits whom haven't

Just to note - unless we can't reach you, we usually end up just crediting the donor's account with a balance that they can use to support any of the other nonprofits on the platform, so usually you do get to donate to another pro

Great question - we have more info on how we disburse at https://www.every.org/disbursements - but in short, ZSF hasn't claimed their profile and connected a bank account, so we'd disburse via our partner NFG. We

My family has a simple apartment in the outskirts of Tokyo, and we've occasionally toyed with the idea of renting it to foreigners for for cheapish (~$400/mo). If you don't go too crazy with fancy dining or anything like that

I'm a customer which is why I got the email. I posted it because I think it's a pretty fascinating and unusual product announcement from a fairly well-known startup, and the way it's written (and its length) is a big part of

Part 4---- PS: To address some likely questions: Q: Is the Expensify that I use today going away? No. That's why we're launching Expensify.cash as a totally separate site and app. Expensify.com will remain entirely as it is to

Part 3---- Financial chat is 100x bigger than expense reports. Most people are surprised to hear that Expensify was never intended to be a pure expense management system. Nor was it intended to be exclusively a back office tool -- or ev
