Since when is Union Square been renamed "Satoshi Square"?


Stop spamming this thread with your recruiter garbage!


This thread is not for recruiters.

Downvote.


It doesn't do geographic searches well.

"San Francisco" results in just 1 match, whereas there are 5 on the front page alone.


While their high level goals (eliminate hunger, reduce stress on agricultural and environmental resources) are laudable, this project suffers from the same arrogance of doctors in the 1960s who said mother's milk was primitive and could be replaced by artificial formula.

Now, in hindsight, we know what a mistake that was, as natural breast milk contained compounds which decreased various cancer and health risks.

I cannot help but think they are going down the same road.


I for one will be sticking to breast milk.


Those doctors were probably on the Nestle payroll, after the money from Camel dried up.


Ha, Bashir got funding from Jack Dorsey because he's her boyfriend (or was, at one time, anyway).


Dude... the small, light gray text... are you trying to ruin our eyesight?


I don't usually complain about typography or design, but this site is an exception to that rule.

It's incredibly unreadable :)

The content looks good, though, but I have to admit I didn't make it through the whole thing.


Right, came here to say the exact same thing. My eyes aren't the best. First thing I did was to open chrome dev tools and fiddle in 'p { color: black }' to make it readable at all for me..


I wondered what everyone was talking about here, then realized that since I have noscript installed, I was looking at the site with no javascript - and it was perfectly readable. Once I activated javascript I saw what the fuss was about. So much clearer without javascript.


I use the Evernote Clearly extension on web pages like this. It does a great job of improving the readability. It also removes a lot of the non-content stuff around the edges.


I'll see what I can do about that.


Didn't know what was being discussed here re: readability until I realized, oh, site must have a default white background.

On Linux the xcalib package is an absolute godsend, white backgrounds are like being yelled at to these eyes.

Windoze has a similar screen inversion application, but cannot remember what it is right now.


I use an extension called 'change colours' in Chrome. It lets me set different background and text colours, and it allows me to change the link colours, and it allows me to change the font and font size.


I'm guessing he changed it - looks fine here (text is #111)

"Call unfounded" - I wonder if that means they got a prank call or maybe someone saw some geek costume with fake gun/armor


About a year ago, a student's umbrella was mistaken for an assault rifle at the university where I work and we were on lock down for hours. http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/10387437/


When I hear college, body armor and "rifle", I think paintball.


Could be. This is Boston. Remember Aqua Teen Hunger Force?

I'd still like to know what actually happened, though.


That's only part of it.

It seems this "affinity data" model is the basis for the high hopes and high valuation: http://gigaom.com/2012/03/24/pinterest-weve-got-a-business-m...


A small amount of money for a few months, followed by a demo day in the end, etc.

It's not as established, though, and I haven't read or heard much about the startups which come out of it, though, which I why I posted the question.
