We just this week moved our sprints from Airtable to Notion. Seems like it will do everything we need--finally, we can have our sprints and our RFCs and other documentation in one place! I cannot recommend notion enough!

I suppose they company could continuously issue stock in this case. But in this world, it actually makes sense for those companies to stop doing their normal business and just go into the business of selling their shares. This reality sound

The problem I see with that hypothesis is that the asset pricing must eventually be tied to actual performance--while it may be self-reinforcing to some extend, if it _is_ fundamentally wrong, there will be a reckoning and an adjustment aft

While we're talking about slavery, it might be important to mention that the constitution specifically allows slavery in this context: > "neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for a crime whereof the

styled-components is what got me to switch from LESS to css-in-js, and I'm so grateful. Anyone interested learning about css-in-js for the first time would benefit from understanding the styled-components model, but there's alread

I guess the difference here is our views on tribalism? I don't see people who live outside of my community as "others" who I need protection from. I would gladly earn less money to experience greater diversity and give people

"Hire US Workers" doesn't strike you as anti-immigrant? I don't see this as looking for constructive reform for, as an example, better conditions for H1B residents who have no mobility or leverage. Its saying "Stop

Yes. The point is that when you "trade" BTC for something, you're selling it. We differentiate between a sale and a trade colloquially based on whether currency is involved, but currency isn't that special--its just anot

This is an interesting take on the BaaS market. So this does something to similar to, for example, Chain (chain.com), but for non-technical people?

Lets say you make a 50% gain on btc. You have made money, but haven't realized the gain. You pay taxes when you realize a gain. You're argument is based on semantics, and not convincing. At the end of the day, whether you traded B

Even if this is true, you're limiting your options by not trying to understand the technicalities behind it. Why don't the people at the top want to share? What are we even sharing? How does sharing happen? By what means does shar

I'm most familiar with this one, but I agree with your comment more generally > (Goldin and Katz 2007) This in particular is not a globalization issue. To the unfamiliar, the premise is that technology aids productivity for the high

I hope you'll reconsider this position. Its not a zero-sum game. More economic development doesn't come at the expense of infrastructure/public services. Economic development is what funds those things. The economics involved

Okay you piqued my interest... "bad monetary policy" usually means we should be on the gold standard, but I've never heard that before as a solution for student loans. What are you proposing is the monetary fix?

The blackmailing scheme that Eyeo calls "Acceptable ads" is untenable because it is simply blackmail. Pay us protection money and sell our approved goods or sell nothing. Google will pay it because they have the money and there is

Worth noting this is Appnexus, not Google AdExchange. Appnexus is still a very large ad exchange, but Breitbart's business shouldn't necessarily be affected. Its not unlikely that Appnexus and Breitbart don't even have a dire

The authors here are worth noting: Katz and Krueger are well known for publishing this[1] paper as well, which was one of the leading papers behind the idea that wage differentials are a function of skill-biased technology growth--that is,

Typically when you shop around for insurance, your agent will make you aware of whatever benefits/incentives are available to you through the specific plans. In terms of keeping overall cost of your plan down, just do whatever you can

Insurance companies usually offer benefits. Many plans offer reimbursements for gym memberships, discounts for companies that drug test, etc.. Moreover, the average cost of an group is a function of the health of its members--the healthier

This is great. Its too bad there isn't a +1 button for comments in github issues, because some of them are just incredibly important to highlight. I just installed VSCode and was impressed overall and would absolutely use it, except I

1) How is this more inefficient than our existing welfare system? Seems a lot more efficient to give everyone money rather than spend $100M on bureaucratic infrastructure for verification and employment tracking. 2) It benefits society beca

It might help to think of this paradigm as "streaming apps". Instead of downloading apps and having them on your home screen, you go to a URL and it behaves like any other app--it will render its own app shell and then say "S
