My motivation was multi-sided and I went with a completely ad-hoc structure. I store different kinds of information in very different ways. I sometimes reorganize a section. I don't use any monolithic or gate-keeping tool - the informa

Isn't that way too many ideas and options already? By this I mean, keep looking for great options sure, but also focus. Perhaps it's simply the tools involved in your current job (getting better at them - which your employer may p

Government. Someone threw in the rise of authoritarianism. The issue is much broader. It's one of efficiency; understanding and respect of technology and science (past, current and potential); influence of religions, mobs and fads (inc

With others here I deplore that my schools did not teach a number of important life and career skills including writing. They did teach english, did an excellent job of it. But they did not teach writing FAST. By now I feel a key to product

Fisherman's Wharf is not San Francisco (half joke). And there are certainly perfectly civilized looking actual neighborhoods (say Cow Hollow, nearby). No homeless, no garbage, minimal poop on the sidewalks, minimal loud bike rides, no

You would have to compare the reporting rate also. No idea what it might be in Orlando. In San Francisco I expect it's now low: I'm at two physical assaults in San Francisco and there was no point in reporting either (countless ve

Much longer than that. "SF Travel said Red Hat is scheduled for events at Moscone in 2026, 2028, 2030 and 2032" in one of the fine articles. They also seem to be "not cancelled" long in advance. But that makes sense, if

That DA was an outlier who had to go pretty extreme to get that result. The rest seem safe.

In much of the SF Bay Area in general, and San Francisco city in particular, I get the impression that the current situation is very deliberate. There are loud minorities arguing about a few things but they are (just) loud minorities. The u

The scary take from all the answers is that there seems to be essentially NO incentive to get the estimate right in this industry. All the incentives are toward underestimating under cover of the slimest excuse possible - just for appearanc

Re. "this is the best time to be a polymath". I was noticing something like that. For a while it became impossible to know or do "science" ("philosophy", was it?) as a whole. Too broad, too deep. That was not t

You may also simply have much better memory of author names and works titles than I or others have. I often can't quote a name on the spot even when I vividly remember the book (or movie, or track). Or be much earlier in your reading c

To keep track of authors and series I follow, over many years. To collect quick notes. Both for myself and ready for recommendations to others. To avoid trying again authors I dismissed ages ago (but whose book covers and blurbs still tempt

A useful write-up - because - it rather thoroughly documents an SMD assembly with minimal tools. Trying this, trying that. A naive approach. Lots of things that didn't work, lots of extra comments, lots of photos. Beautiful. We know wh

This is interesting. I was not aware of effective counter attacks to abusive DMCA notices. That site lists two very different results from 2004 and 2007 (and that web site is unmaintained and out of date.) There were other attempts, Cox in
