Yesterday's tomorrow is tomorrow's yesterday. The future is now. My company is far from start-up, but they managed to convince someone that they could save money if only people didn't actually have their own desks. It's just a communal "desk pool" and you sit wherever there is not already a body. No, we are not consultants. No, you can't reserve a desk beforehand. No, you can't have personal effects. Yes, you are sitting where someone did many more unsavory things than simply eating lunch.  (P.S., this obviously never saved any money, except in people quitting in anger, I guess?)

This would be absolutely brilliant for the tribal villages in Africa where they are still semi-legally allowed to kill / maim / whatever you if you're gay. If, y'know...they had cellphones. Or like... $25/month to spare. The natural progression, of course, is that they also rent out "escorts" if you need one for a particular special event, a relaxing massage, or "platonic spooning." The perfect convergence of traditional and cyber multimedianeering. thathonkey posted:it has meant a bunch of different things over the years. now it has been co-opted by hipster programmers who think Lisp is a viable language but it originally meant somebody who (often maliciously) tried to break (or "hack") into computer systems. loving children i'm trying to educate yall. I think it's generally traced back to the MIT TMRC and had technology-but-not-necessarily-computer implications (e.g., phreakers) and was generally without malice. (Not without doing things of questionable legality, mind you, but without maliciousness.) --> "Make things do things they're not supposed to do." (/join #etymology) thathonkey posted:

Kobayashi posted:That's all well and good, but it assumes tech assholes aren't part of the problem! That's because companies like Sanofi-Aventis, Merck, and Advaxis are providing disease prevention products, but not disease prevention solutions. VAXZIN is here to help. With traditional vaccinations, your children are required to see a doctor or trained practitioner sometimes as many as three times. Who has the time? VAXZIN's patent pending approach isn't evolutionary. It's revolutionary. What does it mean to VAXZIN? Imagine you're driving your car along the Golden Gate Bridge, in order to check on your Napa wine share. As usual, traffic is terrible, which you attribute to overpopulation in nearby Oakland. As you inch forward, you hit a pebble. That pebble hits a butterfly. That butterfly's injured wing flaps just so, creating a self-reinforcing standing waveform. That self-reinforcing standing waveform matches the periodicity of the bridge precisely, causing it to violently buck and eventually tear itself to pieces. That violent bucking and eventual self-tearing-to-pieces leads to you and countless other wine enthusiasts (and Oakland interlopers) plunging to your deaths in the harsh waters of the San Francisco Bay. VAXZIN is that butterfly. VAXZIN is available for free download via the Apple AppStore and Google Play Store. .random fucked around with this message at 06:58 on Feb 12, 2015 |

Does Sony really count as a startup? However, I feel like "augmented" will become a new euphemism someday.

Disrupting your mouth. http://blog.sfgate.com/chronstyle/2015/02/19/silicon-valleys-livionex-wants-to-disrupt-dental-care/ but seriously, this sounds pretty awesome and I kind of want to try it? Dental care is pretty ridiculously outdated.

All this hate because they're providing better, faster, cleaner, and SAFER service than government subsidized taxis. Liberal GBS attacks efficient private sector. News at 10. </troll>
