It's all a very appealing sort of "alternate reality." I don't mean that in a bad way. If "virtual" will become a bigger and bigger share of our economy and personal rewards system than I guess it makes sense t

After a few decades away from programming I got back into it some and decided that Python was the easiest and closest to the languages I was fairly fluent in back in the old days. I did write a lot of Pascal code at one point and after goin

Seems like a good idea but it's a little hard to sign up for something that's a basically a one-page "coming soon" website with no details on features/functions/team.

I have to award creativity points for the defense. If it is true it is terrible and I'm sorry it happened to her. However it's a bit of a stretch to see how it would directly translate into bold faced lying to your investors and f

On the surface this seems pretty weird. A maker of $200 technical books on math and science buys a US based political online media site? Doesn't seem like a great deal of "synergy" or whatever.

This seems pretty cool. Made me realize what a mess my own website is.

I love tools and have tried so many over the past year including these new "hot" ones like Roam and Notion. After all that I have come full circle and reinvested in making Evernote work better for me. It has limitations but has al

It's hard to "crack down" on something that you could basically print at home and fill out yourself. That is unless something is developed to link the vaccination to your identity record. I've heard that there is work go

I wonder if there will be a long term shift in supply chains toward less "asset light" and more vertically integrated operations with sourcing moved closer to end market demand.

I've never been convinced that you can make this model profitable if you expect to pay the drivers a living wage. People are price sensitive which limits how much you can charge. (This goes for other delivery services too like DoorDash

If you are a really smart, hardworking, gifted producer - you should probably do that. The essence of people management is about maximizing the results of each individual, developing them and building a team that is more productive than jus

I think our healthcare system (in the US) is very poor at helping people figure something out. If you know and it's clear the system is great at fixing it. I had all kinds of knee pain and saw every ortho I could. Knees were fine. It w

Duolingo is already cash flow positive and if you back out some non-cash costs can say they are profitable. However some of these non-cash costs should be included but that's another story. Their target model is for 35% adjusted earnin

I feel the same way about Duolingo. I used to be able to speak a moderate amount of German and let it lapse. I picked up Duolingo because it substituted for some other casual activity I might do on my phone (crossword, read hackernews, etc.

I think Substack is onto something and enjoy it both as a subscriber and a contributor. For one thing newspapers and their ilk want to drive my attention. I don't want that. With Substack I can pick the topics and writers I'm inte

There are different types of selling. I worked for IBM from 1984 to 1992 and they had an entire training process for their customer-facing people that included a two week sales school for reps at the end. It was tailored to enterprise sales

Currency is something that isn't a store of value. Cash should be thought of as a depreciating asset like a car. We do need bubbles though - it just a way through an investment cycle in something new. In January 2009 NVDA was below $10

I was pleased when we lived in Boston where our building and many others was able to put microwave-based services on the roof. It was internet-only but very fast and inexpensive - just what we needed. Now we are in Louisville and back to th

I used to battle with mice all the time at my little cabin in the woods and then a neighbor moved in with a cat that "hunts" outside my cabin all night. Haven't had a mouse problem in years. I've never seen a dead bird a

I guess this is why some wish to vote for Elizabeth Warren. This kind of crap goes on all the time. FWIW I think TurboTax is pretty useful and because it saves time worth paying for in many cases. However someone with very simple taxes, lik

I guess this is why some voters are eager for someone like Elizabeth Warren to get in office and stop some of this anti-competitive behavior. It's odd to me because TurboTax is good software (at least when I used it) and it saves time.

I hope this is true. I was about to replace my 2013 MBP with a used 2015 or shift over to Windows. (The Lenovo Carbon has a great keyboard.) I can wait until next year to see if Apple really does the right thing but if not - it's Lenov

There's much discussion here about Portugal and other countries but what about the US? Could one go closer to a place like Colorado Springs (near Denver) or Cincinnati? There are also places like Albany NY? What are some of the lowest
