I recently switched back to using Slack in a pinned tab and I can't recommend it enough. The minor additional inconvenience of getting to it makes it less distracting for me

Slight tangent but one of the most interesting parts (to me) of lane splitting on a motorcycle is getting to navigate through these waves and actually see the dense and sparse segments as you pass through them

I do have to say that having just switched to Google Fi, Google's support for customers that actually pay them is far beyond what their reputation would have you believe

If you get sentenced to life in prison and exonerated after 20 years you don't get those years back but you do get to be free for the rest of your life. If you're executed and then exonerated 15 years after the fact you're st

Random thought: couldn't one start making charging cables that only had power/ground pins present (but were still shaped like the apple/micro usb connectors)?

I second movement being the most effective. When motorcycling at night one of the biggest dangers is cars making left turns across your lane. It's really hard to judge how far away and how fast a motorcycle is moving because there&#x27

It's funny, I grew up with both cats and dogs and like them both (and one observation I've had is that most people I know tend to like whichever pets they had when they were younger, fear of the unknown and all that). In my circle

I think it (Google Cloud) can. I suspect there's a pretty big difference between being a dominant social network vs being a dominant cloud platform. People evaluating cloud platforms are going to be looking at cost + functionality in a

Yes, this. As I've gotten older I've realized more and more that what you choose to spend your time on day in and day out that really shapes your happiness and who you are. If you're not enjoying/getting meaning out of t

I think a 10 year exercise window makes them much more valuable. Now instead of being faced with a decision of whether or not to spend thousands of dollars when leaving a company that I'll very likely never see again I can now defer th

If you're comparing the accessibility and cost of chain stores in and out of cities I'm going to assert that you're missing a lot of what cities have to offer (museums, interesting restaurants, live music, parks with lots of

As jodah points out, it was attractive for me because at minimum I have a credit card, an ATM card, and a parking benefits card. I also have additional cards that have better benefits for things like gas/groceries so it's nice hav

While I agree with you that you'll need to increase the time to see real benefits it's also not true that you can't go more "all out". As you get stronger you'll be able to peddle harder, your peak wattage will

I've noticed a lot of user hostile behavior like this from all of the large public social companies (LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, etc...) It's really a shame but I think that when your business is built off of trying to monetize u

I agree that 3-5 years is a bit optimistic but I also bet that when it does happen it will transition far faster than we can imagine. You have a really nice set of aligned incentives here: - As a 'driver' I get a car that let&#x27
