Not a designer but the worst feedback you can get from your coworkers is nothing.

This website has a terrible taste in font. There's a reason you don't see a lot of serifs on the Internet.

I think UBI is pretty squarely a progressive issue. Maybe you're conservative for the area you live in (Cali?) but many conservatives would consider your view to be pretty extreme left.

Sounds like 19th century landowners

Yeah we're literally just rehashing all the same debates.

Seattle's light rail system uses that exact model.

> The end result of a business is a lemonade stand or a barber or donut shop, the end result of a startup is OpenAI or Google.

That's a bit disingenuous. The more comparable end result for a coffee shop is Starbucks. Or Amazon if you want to talk about books

pg would argue Starbucks the Umbrella group is startup as it's an franchise operation focussed on growth. A single instance of Starbucks is a business focussed on turning a profit.

In fact even the name YC is YCombinator, which in programming is a "function that produces functions" and YC is supposed to be a startup that produces startups. Here Starbucks (Umbrella) is a startup that produces coffee shops (Starbucks).

You can define startup or business however you like it's not a legally protected term. Just around these parts that's what it means and I personally find the distinction useful when reasoning about what does and doesn't have high growth potential.

Guess I'm not in the industry enough lmao

You can ask this about a lot of foods, but probably won't get many satisfying answers. For example cheese goes back many thousands of years, and it's theorized that it was invented accidentally due to storing milk in sheep stomachs or similar.

Probably something similar for pickling. Someone noticed that salted foods last a long time, and vinegar never seems to go bad, so why not try combining them?

The acidity in many traditional pickling methods is lactic acid produced by fermentation. No vinegar involved.

Looking it up, ocean water has the right salt content to facilitate this...

What about hakarl? "Rotten" icelandic shark meat. It stinks to high heaven. Yet somebody thought "let's eat this". I can't imagine how hungry they must have been. And, if it doesn't decompose for 6 weeks under sand, it's toxic, so you die if you eat it. I'm sure they knew that. Yet they still tried it... Must've been a helluva famine.

> Yet they still tried it... Must've been a helluva famine.

Humans have lived at subsistence level, one bad harvest away from famine for most of history. Our modern abundance is very recent (1-3 generations) thing depending on where you were born.

So I think a tremendous amount of food discovery was a combination of food accidents didn't want food to go to waste, and desperation level eating anything to delay death from starvation.

"Pickling" things in vinegar is a relatively modern invention.

Probably also worth pointing out that they made that account to leave that comment

The EFF used to support anonymous speech.

You can be anonymous without using the same model as 4chan.

Idk, they've always had a techno libertarian streak. This seems on brand to me.
