Hovercraft posted:As if Google Wave, Google Buzz and Google Reader weren't simple enough projects that Google couldn't execute, Google CEO Larry Page has apparently been working behind the scenes to set up even bolder tasks beyond his company's capabilities. ftfy google is now basically a cult on par with bitcoin and randos. building cities, maritime law barges, talking about islands with no laws, etc. wild, naive ideas with little more than a wiki behind them. apple in the 90's with their CD players and cameras was nothing compared to google's scatter brained antics.

all of sv is essentially a toxic time bomb. rocket fuels and military chemicals in the 40s and 50s, dumping from semiconductor manufacturing in the 60s and 70s, its a loving mess. plus its almost all landfill, and in a seismic activity zone too!

those guys were definitely not qualified to be loving around with the HVAC system on a goddamn superfund site housing 1000 workers i bet that real HVAC/mechanical engineers would've probably closed the site entirely to do any work, probably over the weekend or a series of nights
