Hello Everyone! So I don't know what's going on but the people that I have met lately through daily interactions have been completely opposite of the type of person I am. I really do get along with everyone, but recently I haven't met people that I have a lot in common with so I thought I would take this approach to meet great people. I love doing random fun stuff throughout the week, hiking, exploring anything anywhere, trying new things (because that new thing could turn into something awesome …

Hello Everyone, "Tea Time Social" is dedicated to finding unique venues for talking stories, having meals, and even having tea.

Sound interesting to you? A little maybe? Here, conversations are never dull, they're never re-cycled, its always fun and we have members that carry genuine interest in others. We liv …

What will the future look like in 100 years? We'll get together to discuss this exact question- with a new focus/emphasis each meeting. (health, entertainment, culture, technology, religion, money etc.) The ONE rule is that our discussion will focus on the future in a good/best case scenario. No doomsday hot air blowers, no world wars, no apocalypse fantasizing. This is supposed to be fun and interesting and inspiring. Specifically 100 years out 'cause we'll (probably) all be dead and not ha …

This group is for people who both love to dance and to support charitable organizations (with time or money). I want to merge these two areas, somehow. That's all I know. I need help defining the rest. With your help, this can shift from a random thought to something tangible. Will we throw dance parties in the name of particular charitable causes? Will we dance to raise money for causes? Will we ask non-profits to dance? The possibilities are endless.

Modern machine learning algorithms like Support Vector Machine, Random Forest and Neural Nets are producing very promising results on large scale datasets. However understanding what is happening inside the black box and the nuanced differences of various implementations can be challenging. Topics and presentations will include open source tools, real-world case studies and an occasional talk by a theorist.

The free Cafe la Boheme writing practice has now gone on continuously every Friday at noon since March 27, 2009. Every Friday a little before noon people gather at a table. They write short phrases on scraps of paper and fold them and put them in the center of the table. Somebody sets a timer and picks a prompt at random and reads it aloud. Everybody writes. When the timer goes off we go around the table and read aloud one by one. Nobody comments. We just read aloud. Then the next person picks a …

We came from Minnesota or the Midwest and are now in San Francisco/the Bay Area. We meet up at various places in the city to talk about MN and other things we love. We go on random adventures. We sometimes eat too much butter.

This is a group started with the express purpose of trying to create a network among the many Probashi Bangalis living in the Bay Area. They all seem to congregate during a Durga Pujo celebration and mysteriously thereafter, go into hibernation for the rest of the year. At least that is the way I feel. Maybe it is a function of the fact that their numbers are so low that the probability of running into someone at random is exceedingly low. I, for one, refuse to believe that. Maybe it is my own f …

Hi there! Did you know? 67% of Americans drink. 100% of people have at least one interesting thing they can teach someone else. I think that's why I learn the most interesting things from amazing people over pints at pubs, don't you? Well, you're on meetup to meet people! Me too! Luckily for us, University of Texas at Austin neurobiologist Hitoshi Morikawa published a study last year confirming that "alcohol may actually increase our capacity to learn". Hey, there are hundreds of drinking clubs …
