Luckily the federal government has always respected treaties with tribes in the past.

Communication is hard, especially for a new idea. The thing I still don't know for sure (maybe it's not announced yet) is if you'll have an actual physical location separate from the main office and the new Boulder space.

This helps, Dave. I got the email from you this morning and I wasn't exactly sure what this really was, so this is really helpful. Thanks for engaging.

Agreed.

I was more meaning that I was a fan of Rapportive, and so they get a little pre-trust from me that they've built something great.

Can't wait to try it. I was a huge fan of Rapportive back in the day.

I love the Adhoc meeting way to put suggested meeting times in an email, but does it show for the recipient in their own time zone, or in the time zone of the sender?

Great news! Another win for Perry, who's just as smart as they come.

Great post, but why are all the links buried behind some email tracking thing? I like to see what I'm clicking on before I click.

Re: Can the American Heartland Remake Itself in the Image of Silicon Valley? One Startup Finds Out

Craftsy just sold to Comcast, and HydroBio just sold to Monsanto, and that kind of transaction happens all the time here, which is why this story is such BS. The only people who get rich with IPOs are the bankers. With home-grown companies getting acquired local people make life-changing money. California is what it is. Denver isn't trying to be more like California, it's trying to be the best Denver it can be, and this writer thinks that anything short of trying to be like California is failure. That's a faulty premise for a story this long.

Hey Curata folks, same goes for us. Great write up. It just uses our old logo (shudder). New one is here.

Re: Oregon Local News - Ballot initiatve would end daylight saving

Scott Yates — Thu, 10 Dec 2015 10:46:56 -0000

A similar thing happened to me! I would complain every year and my wife told me to stop complaining and start doing something to fix it. So I've organized a plan to get ALL states away from the clock-changing madness. As much as I admire David's efforts, I'm afraid they may not work because the Feds may be able to veto any single-state effort to get out from under the Uniform Time Act of 1967. But I do have a plan that all can participate in. Details here: http://sco.tt/time

Re: The Maps That Prove Daylight Saving Is Ruining Our Lives

Scott Yates — Tue, 01 Dec 2015 13:13:24 -0000

All this info and all this discussion is great, but what's needed is a plan to actually fix this thing. Luckily I've got one! It's relatively simple, too. You can find the whole thing here: http://sco.tt/time I'm looking for people to help in all of the 48 states still stuck with clock-changing, so if you want to end the insanity, check it out!

This is a huge issue, not just in New York, but everywhere. We can fix it! I've got a plan that's not just another petition. You can find it here: http://sco.tt/time

Re: NM lawmaker pushes to end Daylight Saving Time

Scott Yates — Wed, 25 Nov 2015 16:33:53 -0000

What we should do is get the east coast to change to permanent DST also. That would solve both problems.

Re: NM lawmaker pushes to end Daylight Saving Time

Scott Yates — Wed, 25 Nov 2015 16:32:27 -0000

But there is a limited amount of time between when schools let out and the sun goes down. Studies have shown that we can decrease childhood obesity by just giving kids a bit more time to play outside. That's why year-round DST is a good idea.

Re: NM lawmaker pushes to end Daylight Saving Time

Scott Yates — Wed, 25 Nov 2015 16:31:00 -0000

The IT problem is a legit problem, but all the DST changing is a problem. We should end all of the clock changing once and for all.

Re: Get the Name of the Dog: How Thinking Like a Journalist Leads to Better Content

Scott Yates — Tue, 31 Mar 2015 11:17:59 -0000

Great advice. The one other bit that goes along with that: Get the spelling of the name. This is for people and dogs. You can have crazy typos throughout a piece, but if you spell anyone's name wrong you'll be hearing about it from that person, and that person's mother, too!

The "spring forward" change is indeed evil, and it's time for it to stop.

I have a plan. Check it out here: http://www.sco.tt/time

Re: How Will Utah "Seize The Daylight" On Wednesday's Access Utah

Scott Yates — Thu, 04 Dec 2014 09:56:46 -0000

I loved that book! Be sure to ask him and your other guests about the plan I promoted on CNN. In short, it's that at least 33 state legislatures pass a bill saying that if at least 2/3rds of the country pass a similar bill, all of those states will then stop changing the clocks twice per year. The problem with one state trying to do it on it's own is that the Federal law passed in 1966 says that states can't do that. This plan will give the power back to the states. More details are on my site: http://www.sco.tt/time/

Re: PERRY: Haters of the annual leap to standard mountain time, our hour is at hand

Scott Yates — Thu, 04 Dec 2014 09:51:16 -0000

The problem is that even if it got on the ballot (which is really hard) and passed, the federal DOT won't allow it. That's what that law passed in 1966 says. There is a way to fix it, however. I've got it all on my site: http://www.sco.tt/time Basically we need 2/3rds of the states in the country to pass a bill saying that if all those states pass a bill, then they want to stop changing the clocks twice per year. That will actually work!

This is pretty low friction. State legislators would love to hear from you.

Re: Daylight Saving Time: Keep it year round

Scott Yates — Fri, 24 Oct 2014 18:15:44 -0000

The more you look at the data, the more you'll see that before 2006 there was very little real research, just a lot of PR.

Absolutely. And lots of sympathetic congressmen who love to golf.
