I removed all my friends from FB, so now I just use it for very specific information needs with Groups. I blocked myself from checking any news sites or social media from my phone, only desktop. That way I don't get stuck in bed or del

ya and weirdly a lot of the science behind happiness is just the basics like not having much stuff, keep the stuff you do have organized and leave some room for more, and all these little cuts that just add up to a better life. It made me p

Some thoughts... I've always worked remote so it isn't a big impact there. It has created a further love of nature and the ability to be outdoors year long. My wife and I have done a lot more to get out every day, and we lean more

I don't think so, ads fund a ton of great websites. I am mixed on brokers/tracking. I think the worry is overblown. When I talk to friends in the industry they laugh at how bad it all works. From what I see it is more like pointin

For sure! No platform is perfect, and our current one needs a TON of improvements.

I value individuals and capitalism a great deal. But without civilization and a platform that shapes their energy they are just more ants in the ant farm. The platform is what gives them the ability to change the world. That is built in a s

I will admit this is useful, although the fluctuations is a PITA and if you can do GUSD it is better. I've done this to pay contractors in Brazil and other places with high banking fees.

Taxes are good, they pay for civilization and the platform we all operate within :) I know people hate hearing that, but it is the truth. I am frustrated with how high they are on some things, bad spending, etc. But at the end of the day lo

Great point, I think bitcoin might end up serving a role more like a weird bond. I don't think it will ever serve as a currency with the high fees and lack of usability for 99% of the population.

Caveat, national currencies are secured with economic power, a system of law, culture, military power, etc etc. It is a bit different. They aren't perfect either but there is more supporting what people "think" they are worth

Nice job, are you doing these all manually on the data side then? I see you take a form, so I was curious there.

Very nice :), I am actually playing with something similar at shepherd.com. Ill test it fully when i wake up!

Also keep in mind it takes year, but often the EU courts don't allow these nonsensical fines. The media doesn't usually post the appeals year later where this is lowered to 1/10th the size or thrown out. Italian and most poli

I have never seen outsourced support work. I've seen it maybe 5+ times varying from teams of 5 to 500. It always is bad when someone else is doing it. I've been at two companies where I led or was part of bringing it in house. It

Gas powered leaf blowers would have to be banned under the law before a government agency can then afford said law. Bit different...

It is dangerous :)... I did it in college, ended up with loads of debt and a small business but it wasn't a great financial decision. Super high interest.

The Bruno Chief Of Police series, just fun stories about a cop in rural France. Really enjoyed them and made for some great reads. Clash of Eagles Trilogy – I LOVED this series, such a cool concept, historical fiction but reimagined as if R

I guess it depends a little on who is making the choices. If it is politician driven, might be fair to call it banning. If it is the school system and teachers making a choice about what to use to teach effectively that seems like good poli

I use ahref, tried SEMrush and like it but seems 5x more expensive for the same stuff. And, the UI/UX is 10x more confusing. I used Moz for 5 years but switched to AHREF about 1.5 years ago. I've tried others but nothing beats ahr

True, I am not sure their either how they factor that in. On the SO survey they say salary so not sure if this combined. We talk a lot about FANGS here, but way more people work for normal companies.

Yes I would be totally ok with that. Especially if that $100k include a real pension when I retire that I can depend on, no threat of my kids getting shot at school, health insurance that covers me when I get sick without having to go into

I totally agree with you. I live in Europe. But, globally brand America's brand is quite strong still. And that is my point, don't forget how powerful that brand has been for the last 100 years. It doesn't disappear overnight
