COO at Operation Spark
Follow the money at the local and state level. Every since followthemoney.org was absorbed by Open Secrets in 2024 we don't have a state level "follow the money" tool. BackerBase brings campaign finance data, public filings, donor networks, races, officials, and entity relationships into one source-backed workspace. Starting with Louisiana and adding more states now :)

Personally I'm a big fan of Pinswift. I've tried several of these Pinboard apps and like it the most. http://pinswiftapp.com/

I like the cube idea better than just an open desk layout. Seems to work well for SpaceX.

Hi there. I'm a cofounder at Airpnp. If you're really interested I'd like to talk to you about getting your bathroom going for Queen's Day. Email me at max@airpnp.co
Here's the source from a similar project to make your own map https://github.com/abenzer/represent-map
The machine from the story is using a decal.
Square for homeless people. You can never again say "No, I don't have any change."
That's a good point but I personally hate spending 45 mins plus in the grocery store and would love to have someone bring it to my door. I find it to be a huge waste of time. If the ripeness of your avocado is that important to you then you'll still be one of those taking the trip to the store.
One important advantage instacart has over the in-store experience is the filtering and sorting of goods. The amount of toilet paper or cereal to choose from is absurd.
EDIT: After looking at the web app there appears to be no sorting/filtering capabilities but only search. Bummer.
This is great. love the concept.
Yes this has been a long time coming
I leave Saturday morning
Not sure. I was going to post this same quote to comment on it. I can only imagine what it must feel like to want to be the first man on Mars and actually have the ability to do it.
Definitely evil and unethical but probably not illegal. This post shows some insight into the issue but not an answer http://www.sportsandentertainmentlawplaybook.com/intellectua...
That email is epic in a world of robotic bland auto-responses. If a real person isn't going to write me an email at least make it interesting.
Correct...you need to clearly identify what it does and why I want it. After having to scroll down to see "How it Works" I still don't get it. Change the wording on "Exercises are designed to induce practical experiences of various aspects of compassion." And give me some screenshots that I can actually see. Cool idea.
Well this is certainly a great idea as we've since with the launch of https://iamexec.com/ You should aggressively pursue the London market. Good luck.
I've been using it for a while and love it. Thanks for the back button. Is it possible to integrate the Reader function of Safari in iOS or is that only possible within Safari? Also, I would pay for this especially given the other attempts at the same app.
Can't enroll with Chrome or Firefox. Their site is all kinds of broken right now.
