jobs people needs
People everywhere have the same needs and values. They need a place to live and a job. Beyond that, they may need to sell stuff or get a mate.
jobs business differences
I feel that one of the best things a person can do for another is to create a job. So you do OK commercially, and then you try to make a difference of some sort.
jobs ideas news
Okay, I'm not in the news business, and I'm not going to tell anyone how to do their job. However, it'd be good to have news reporting that I could trust again, and there's evidence that fact-checking is an idea whose time has come.
jobs technology training
We want to offer job training and mentoring and build the site with more robust, reliable and flexible technology.
jobs mean reality
I'm not in the news business and won't tell people how to do their job. I'd like to restore trust in the news business, though, and feel that restoring fact-checking will really help. News business realities mean that such fact-checking has to be practical, it has to be fast and cheap.

I started a simple list of what I thought were cool events, arts and technology stuff.

This feels particularly good. It reaffirms the confidence I have in people.

This is a mistake. eBay bad and robotic, Craig's List human and good. And now on the way to selling out.

During the bubble, we got distracted by the prospect of big bucks. Now it's much better balanced.

Our sites are run by the people who use them. We just pretty much provide the infrastructure.
build good people protect work
I'd like to build a way for people doing good work to connect, to learn from each other, protect each other, and then I want to get out of their way.
reading political wire
I rely on Taegan Goddard's Political Wire for straight, fair political news, he gets right to the point. It's an eagerly anticipated part of my news reading.
crooks crime
Crooks are early adopters.
want normal moments
I want you to know, at this very moment, I am simulating normal human behavior.
