I would agree that it doesn’t have a fixed interest rate. But you might say it has a variable interest rate. The trick is to accurately gauge the true interest rate and only work on the technical debt that costs you over time. The real tric

Though I agree with the premise of this article, I simply can’t get past his burger example. Let me explain. Multi-tasking has exponentially greater impact on performance the greater the complexity of the task. Most people just don’t find t

I want this but can’t find it. I want to find discussions on something (toyota sienna) but when I search I don’t see any discussions section. Even putting “discussions” in the search terms does not bring it up. Looks like something they sho

Companies rarely increase wages of existing employees commensurate with inflation. You get the appropriate inflation-adjusted increase only when you switch jobs. It is the one bit of leverage you have as an employee - I would suggest using

If you see my response above, the method I use removes that annoying caveat. Outbound emails are signed and validated using the custom domain through AWS SES and you don’t get “behalf of” label.

For what it is worth, I ran into the problem of forwarding emails to gmail but having to reply with the gmail address when I setup email for my domain for my personal website. I have a vanity website and wanted to use the domain for email a

I do agree that it is negotiation, but it IS a risky play. While you are negotiating, you have leverage. But it is time dependent leverage. If you stay, you lose, not all, but a large part of that leverage. If you do stay AND they decide th

I tend to agree. I have the same reservations with HTTP2 to a lesser degree. I won’t deny that the complexity added by HTTP2 will greatly improve speeds in certain cases, and this may very well be needed to keep the greater interwebs workin

You make a good point that altruistically helping the creator can also be a factor. Thanks for articulating this.

What you are saying is not that you like the art for it’s artistic value, because it has been established that you can look at it whether you own it or not. What you enjoy is the “ego” part of saying you “own” the NFT in question, just like

Again no disrespect meant at all, only a desire to understand - but what do you do for income? How are you paying rent and such? Are you living off of savings/investments/BTC/401k?

I agree that it is a greek tragedy that it always comes to this, but this is just the market’s way of monetizing the medium. This is how it happens. We used to sit through 20 minutes(!) of commercials every hour for tv content. Now we downl

I think you are confusing marketing with advertising. What you are doing IS marketing. Marketing is about understanding the market’s problem you are solving and figuring out ways to connect those people with your product. A great way to mar

I agree. I think there is something here, it is just not what proponents are currently saying it is going to be. I think we are clearly still in a protracted “hype cycle” for BTC/ETH/DAO/Web3.0, just like the early internet w

I use a similar example when explaining when to document code and when to write it so it is easy to understand. When coding, if you find yourself saying “I need to document this”, you should ask first if it is easily understandable by someo

I recently did this, as a long android-only user. I purchased an ipad pro when the M1 came out to replace my windows laptop for content consumption and love it. I thought now was maybe time to switch to an iphone from my pixel 4xl. Long sto

One of the main problems as I see it is that dumb devices have a long life and when they fail, they tend to hard fail. It either works, or it doesn’t. In contrast, smart devices have many soft failures. They work today and they don’t to

This may be controversial, but I don't agree. Any legitimate item can be used for bad things if someone wants. At the risk of making a bad analogy, a car can be used by someone to go on a rampage and mow down hundreds of people. If tha

This seems akin to looking at someone's code and saying "This is crap! We should throw it out and rewrite it from scratch" without understanding how and why it got the way it did. See Chesterton's Fence: https:/&#x

For me, keeping yourself relevant is not about money per se, but about freedom. Freedom to control your life instead of being controlled by an employer. By trading some current comfort (good work-life balance and low stress) for current dis

Another way to look at it is, the top-level stakeholders are responsible for the business and not just themselves or the lives of their employees. An effective leader is thinking about what is best for the business. Not just themselves or a
