An historian friend of mine called this a "thermidorian reaction." I had to look it up because of course I first thought of chemistry. Made me wonder if the US really is at risk for some kind of modern dictator or emperor.

I had a co-founder who really thrived on challenges. Not impossible deadlines, but almost "I dare you to do this by Monday" kind of thing.

I became a ham out of love and respect for my deceased father, who held a General license, knew Morse code and had been a comms tech in the Air Force. I keep the license in case of emergencies. But neither of those (good) reasons are going

You got that right, 20 startups or even 200. And they might have made a great return. Instead, they focused on bars and public art (which I think is cool btw) and made a fundamental real estate mistake by loudly announcing where they were g

Consequences for the whistleblower should depend on the laws that were in place when (or if) they broke the law. For example, Edward Snowden probably committed treason and that carries a harsh penalty but it is good that he leaked the NSA
