ybit_"We hope to have 2 membership levels: one that gives you the share of an office and another (reduced) membership that allows you to support the space and get all of the benefits besides dedicated space."06:36
ybit_i'm guessing the reduced cost membership is for access to machinery06:37

kanzure"The next shot was "tech town" a government-sponsored subsidized office complex with better branding. It screwed local real estate owners by offering ridiculously low rents in a market that's already overbuilt."06:45

kanzure"adafruit, arduin, gadget factory, jee labs, openpandora, reprap, These are open hardware, open source hardware, DIY hardware, self-replicating hardware, etc. projects. All very good things but not copyleft hardware."07:49
kanzure"Copyleft hardware is commercial hardware, targeted to non-technical folks, people who want to have a life and are in no way clamoring for an opportunity to build their own electronic devices. Copyleft hardware really needs a good looking case. It's not do-it-yourself hardware, it's not for makers, it's for manufacturers."07:49
kanzure"Copyleft hardware should not create the opportunity for you to make your own hardware, but for you to manufacture your own hardware and make money from it. For every hacking opportunity it creates, it should create two business opportunities."07:50

gnusha"quantum dots injected into the brain, they would take a photonic signal and downshift it into the microwave to get a readable signal with a fractal planar antennae array to put on the scalp, without the risk for infection with wire going into the brain, or a problem with infrared with losing the signal withiin millimeters. Downshifting of heat energy into signals into a sheet of paper that had printed the antennas on them."13:33
