Notorious b.s.d. posted:oops i missed the part where the mongodb guy was willing to pay money for the use of the space [Noisebridge-discuss] MongoDB Office Hours Bryan Reinero breinero at gmail.com Tue Jul 21 21:12:01 UTC 2015 I think donating to Noisebridge is certainly reasonable, and I'll happily ask for budget. I'd just need to know what the community agrees on as far as rate goes. I think a generalized database group is fantastic idea and I'd be happy to participate in that group whenever asked or welcome to. However, I'm only really qualified or comfortbable speaking about MongoDB. It'd be truly innapropriate for me to organize an event that talks about other databases. -Bry

also the whole decidedly anarchic bent to noisebridge plays a big part in the shitweasel situation too. a maker space that doesn't subscribe to "do-ocracy" probably isn't going to be quite so dysfunctional

Hesh Ballantine posted:are all maker spaces terrible like this or is noisebridge a unique flower? depends on the leadership. all makerspaces attract terrible people but the right kind of leadership and rules can minimize it. noisebridge fashions itself as an anarchist commune with no rules, which means the terrible people rule the roost

Every space has insurance that requires classes of some kind before using anything that grinds, cuts, or burns. Tech Shops allegedly have people who will help you make your dreams come true, whatever that is. It's like retail for workspaces. Spaces usually charge a monthly fee for access. Tech Shops are about 150/mo. Most spaces tend to be 20-50/mo. This is a pretty good barrier to crazy people. Despite this, conspiracy theorists & perpetual energy morons still show up sometimes

hankering for a more primitive society ("government on a scale citizens can comprehend!") means no fancy science and r&d which means i no longer can put a fleshlight on some roombas and dongs on others and turn them loose to see which ones who bumps into (or gets bumped by) to determine which one(s) are gay and by how much so forget it t

in in case youre wondering - bet your not but gonna tell you anyway - degree of gayness of roombas has no effect on their cleaning abilities but its not like their whole lives revolve around being gay or anything so no real surprise there
