Objection, your honor! I sold private whisky casks to individuals or groups. Before the pandemic, I would sit down at the table with them and guide them through a tasting, several hours long. My close rate was close to 50%. With the pandemi

I'm not following crypto too closely, but I'm interested. Reading this, I wondered whether this would increase demand of BTC, in turn raising its price. El Salvador adopted BTC as legal tender in September 2021, which is also the

Right, but censorship can only happen at the state level. The New York Times not letting Alex Jones write a column is not censorship or reprisal, it's an editorial decision. Same for Twitter or HN. The Douma deciding to ban certain wor

To be fair, I'm a European citizen, so I'm not too familiar with the first amendment. I believe the basic princies hold true on both sides of the pond, though. What would you say free speech means?

I use a mix of bullet journaling and GTD, and it has worked quite well for me (though not perfectly, of course). The physical bullet journal (notebooks from Leuchtturm) is a log of sorts, a place where I can take notes from calls etc. and w

I haven't seen any evidence so far that this thing won't stick around forever, so personally, I'd estimate anyone's chances of never being infected with SARS-COV-2 to be virtually zero.

So you come out of Walmart somewhere in Texas, having bought a black sports bag. As you pass by a car, you notice your shoelace is untied, so you get down and tie it. Coming up, you lose your balance a little and put your hand on the car. A

Yeah, that's not really the interesting part. It's clever because if you're a developer editing source files, the Git index is relatively up-to-date. So, as the author says, why not take advantage of it?

You're right, the vaccines don't have 100% efficacy. However, they are the only way out of the pandemic (so that we can safely transition to an endemic state, much like the flu--still annoying and sometimes lethal, but not mandati
