How much water would this process need to make enough energy for this to have an impact? Presuming we wouldn't use up our fresh water resources for this and that it would come from the ocean, but would this process create potential thr

I'm not a developer, I'm a researcher. However, a big take away from the book for me that I'd imagine would apply to developers as well was not answering emails or going to meetings. He get's into how to do this politely

I'm about halfway through the process as described in an underpaid non-profit position (ie, going remote, setting up automated systems, wasting less time in meetings/emails). Although I'm not now because what I'm working

"You can prove anything if you pretend wildly improbable freak situations are somehow representative of reality." That's true, but what is represented in the comic is far from "wildly improbable" and in fact comes a

You seem like just the type of person I wanted to read that comic when I decided to put that in. You're fully missing the point (forest through the trees type of thing) with those stats; the unarguable part is that life circumstances o

Frustrated by the people who are claiming that this piece or the company is racist/unexceptional, or that this man's success is due to exclusively hard work. They are missing a greater point that hard work and circumstance are bot

My science fair experiment was literally building a cannon. I lit hairspray on fire and shot potatoes at a wall and don't even remember signing a waiver.

Good idea, but unfortunately I have several thousand followers that I don't want to go through the trouble of amassing again.

Really enjoyed this. I'd often get in political and fiscal discussions with my friends and found that it just really wouldn't click with some people. They'd get mad and things would get personal (I can get pretty defensive my

What does "unschooled" mean? Did they just test into a GED/college, or have they never been in an educational institution? What do they do now (feel free not to answer that kind of personal question, but I honestly never real

Yeah, I know about THC honey, so what's the difference between this and that; how is that made differently from above?

I just wrote all of those down to ask when we get back to the table. Thank you very much - sometimes the forward question is the best question.

Thank you very much, that makes a lot of sense. It seems like I would want to angle for dividends or the terms that would require the company to buy back the vested shares. It sounds like that might be something I need a lawyer for, but jus

I think the poster was asking more along the lines of "there is something I want to boycott, what tools are out there that can help me make it a movement" as opposed to just wanting to sign onto something another org was doing.

They recently had a petition that was partially responsible for getting Mars Chocolate to stop using artificial colorants. The organizers went this route instead of a boycott and is a good example of how the different tools can reach a simi

Yeah I would definitely not do it. Even my nonprofit (not tech related at all) included language that says they own anything I make on a company computer.
