I’m moving out of San Francisco for a few months and I have two large indoor plants, both around 8ft tall. They’re beautiful and healthy, but too big to store or transport easily.
I’m trying to figure out the best option:

1. Sell them?
2. Donate them?
3. Give them to a local business, office, or plant lover?

Any good places in SF/Bay Area that accept large plants?

Would love recommendations on:
Best platforms to sell them fast (Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, plant groups, etc.)
Donation spots or plant rescue communities
Tips for moving or transporting giant plants
Thanks xoxo 🌱

Checking an article from the economist it looks that eBay is becoming the new GameStop, the last quarter their revenues grew 17% yoy and the share prices jumped 150% since 2024.
Even at a presentation by Silicon Valley Certification Hub, the ceo Jamie is focusing on second hand and refurbished products.
But allow they announced to lay off 800 staff or 6% of its workforce.
Any though? Is it good idea to invest here?

I moved here 4 years ago. I got an amazing apartment at a good price. The landlord will sell it and now we have to move out.
We have been looking 2bed 2 baths and omg nothing below 6k. That is more than 50% of our current rent.
Apparently the AI Boom and a lot of VC money is bringing a lot of people to the city. Well i red that in a Silicon Valley Certification Hub webinar. And I Belice it, 50% increase in rent in 4 years is crazy.

We are looking Zillow, Trulia, PadMapper, Craigslist. And everything is or super expensive or scam.

Any recommendation? Any thought? Any kind word?

I was reading a review at the Economist about the movie The DEvil Wears Prada 2. Cite:

"The problem is that the film does not persuade the viewer as to why Runway needs saving. In fact, the characters repeatedly talk about its increasing irrelevance in the social-media age. Miranda says the September issue is “so thin you could floss with it”. Nigel (Stanley Tucci), Miranda’s right-hand man, laments that Runway is no longer a tastemaker that hires photographers such as R. Avedon. No one buys the physical product, he says, so instead the magazine produces “content that people scroll past” while they sit on the toilet. “Journalism still fucking matters,” Andy declares—but soon she is content to produce puff pieces at advertisers’ behest."

So what do you think is the future of digital and traditional media? any thoughts?

Hi.

Not new tech or emerging techs like AI is changing everything and creating a lot of noise.

But I have seen that the top management usually older and less tech savvy are pushing the teams to use it but with no clear strategy or alignment.

So, fist question is: do y you that is affecting the teams, mainly operational?

Second, how are you solving it? Any advice? Best practice?

Btw I am part of Silicon Valley Certification Hub and this is just my pov, not related with the company.

Thank you xoxo

I was recently in startup grind conference in the bay area. I attend the Ashton Kutcher from Sound Venture talk with one of his startups.

He was goood, he has all the charisma and business lingo.

I am intrigued in how does he invest vs the rest of the vcs? Any insights?

Btw I am at Silicon Valley Certification Hub. This is just my personal pov. I will not promote

Somebody recommended Strangers by Belle Burden. They told me that is Impressive how that divorce happened and all that fight in a wealthy wealthy family. Like she was a Vanderbilt, like that level.

With all her education and social support, she lost a lot of money and the guy just won. I cannot believe it. And also how the friends and neighbors. Like an horror story.

Well, what do you think? What should I know before reading it?
