What? This starts with counting slaves as 3/5th a citizen, and thus letting states with slavery to increase their influence in the electoral college. At no time has this been about "urban vs rural". It was a compromise to kee

And as a contractor there are significant tax advantages, along with personal growth advantages. I think the big draw back is actually long term total earnings - the big companies in SV still pay order of magnitudes more than that.

Signal - moved my immediate family to it, and now have a few friends on there as well. It had some rockiness maybe about 3 years ago, but with their new group implementation and some other small tweaks I find it just as easy to use as whats

I struggle with the same thing. If we were close enough in the past I'm much less shy now of asking for a phone number/email. If we're just passive where I'd love to see an update about life stages and progression... fb

The Now Habit really helped me let go of procrastination being my fault, and just seeing it as a systemic side effect of my approach. Brilliant book, on the order of GTD or the Effective Executive in terms of how true everything has held up

Austin as a larger metro area has an order of magnitude the amount of land that all of the peninsula has, with no water in the way. Supporting housing growth through suburban sprawl is a story of most cities in the midwest & south in th

Are HPE, Oracle and Palantir the "tech giants" we think of? I have pretty negative opinions of their future, financially and otherwise. I think there are plenty of things wrong with local governments, taxes, and policies - but I&#

Navigation of the windows to which one is focused is no longer keyboard driven. Many just move the window into the largest leaf, and rotate the rest. Focus will still follow your mouse I believe. The binary tree concept just is a way of sor

That sounds incredibly difficult. I hope you find ways to cope. I hope you get support from your company, or more than you are getting now.
