This. I'm curious as to how the bathroom is laid out, where you go for any and all of those purposes.
This "house" is missing a lot of viable (standard) infrastructure to be considered what we usually call a house in North America. It's closer to that of a very small travel trailer, or a tent. All in all I still love the idea.
Well, I love the concept of proto-Krugman as much as you, but nothing really keeps Krugman at NYT. He obviously enjoys the influence that punditry brings him over flexing his academic mind.
I'd argue the intersection of these sets is a lot higher than you'd expect in the Valley. Mr. Katta may be looking to attract the attention of these people, which are often influential investors or otherwise well connected.
Bebo is buying back whatever is left of its userbase? I don't understand why the founder doesn't just stick the $1MM into seeding and promoting his new social project vs. attempting to resuscitate what is there.
Take this with a grain of salt since I can't find the source, but I vividly remember a designer wanting to use a H&FJ typeface (Gotham) on a project I was working on about a year and a half ago, only to have the H&FJ FAQ state that they don't allow web embedding and aren't developing it for what amounted to aesthetic reasons (i.e., web font technology was not far enough along for them to feel comfortable with the display of their type on screen.)
Now, instead, they're using the same technology as just about everyone else, under their own service, and just rehinted their typefaces to match the tech.
Small retail investors that see Bitcoin in WSJ, FT, etc. sit around and say "Hey! I want some of that," and their neighborhood financial planners don't know enough about it (and are not incentivized) to get them to directly buy Bitcoins. An ETF would give exposure to Bitcoin to these Baby Boomer retirement types, of which there are many.
