In the field of UX/Psychology there is a term “suffice”. Our brains are constantly sufficing rather that perceiving all data and interpretating it. If we had to do the latter end of the spectrum, our heads would need to be bigger, to

I’m confused, why would they sell large portions of equity (for billions) if they didn’t plan on spending those billions? So by definition any company that raises billions is planning on being unprofitable (by billions) or they wouldn’t rai

I agree, a conventionally raised cow is given corn to the point that it would die from this diet with a few weeks by the time its slaughtered. And corn might be the worst mono crop we have (causing the most destruction to eco systems). I in

After leaving my startup in 2017, I did a two month road trip. Overall it was a low cost way to travel for two months and it allowed me to re-adjust to a slower pace of life and gain perspective. This was my itinerary: - Yoga retreat in Nor

FYI it seems like this filter relies on Apples’s latest depth detection hardware not just an image. I have a pre X phone and that option doesn’t come up for me.

Or another way of looking at it: maybe programmers are one of the few professions that aren’t being extremely underpaid when taking into account: inflation, macro productivity and their scalable impact. Inflation: A $180k starting salary is

Fact check. Knowing that heart disease was the number one cause of death in the US, I assumed the number of deaths would be high. At 300k deaths a year related to obesity, it is a high number, but no where near the number of deaths caused b

As some one who doesn’t eat fortified foods this brings up questions. Is the balance of vegetables and meat I’m eating lacking in vitamin B1 or other key vitamins? Looking up the top sources of B1 the only one that is a staple of mine is be

I take the same approach a forest takes: optimizing for regular “forest fires” to clear out the old. I start with the year: Eg. 2018 Then I break it into - Projects - photos - personal - etc... Then each year I start a new folder Eg. 2019.

What does this mean if a person bought a Bitcoin for $400 last year and now it is worth $583.03. What is the proper way to record this on a tax form? Will they have to pay tax now or when they sell the coin?

It saddens me such a cynical response made it to the top. I will use this app. Some days I walk to a local park to meditate. Some days I go to the meditation class we have at work. However, some days I plan to use this app, even if for just

Is there a tax guide that would explain the consequences of me using some of the bitcoin I bought in 2013 to buy an item on overstock this month? As I understand it I would have to record the value I paid for the bitcoin in 2013, calculate
