I’m using manual entry to the general ledger, with a simple script to populate entries in account tables.

This is so cool. I spent yesterday setting up a simple Airtable ledger for my home finances, but the idea of feeding that beast only to have them own/control/charge me for my data is super frustrating. I went with Airtable/Ex

Ok. On second read I’d like to apologize for my snark - you made a thing, and that’s not easy, so kudos. That said, have you thought about trying to leverage this pool of rich people for positive purpose? Maybe a modern version of the Elks

It’s like a Country Club without golf, tennis, mediocre food, or large rooms to DJ cookie cutter weddings.

This is awesome! Much appreciated.

So cool. Thanks for this!

It’s really interesting to hear this - because I spend a lot of time in rooms with emergency managers who ask “how can we meet people where they are to get the message out?” What you are describing sounds a lot like an emergency weather rad

Yeah - when I read the news I see it... But when I go to the grocery store, the PTA meeting, or the mall I don't. It very well might be my bubble, but I don't see neighbors arming themselves, and the ones I know that are most adam

I run iPfire on an old MacBook for home network security, ad filteting, etc. Been really happy with the results.

What’s the smallest thing I could buy with this type of sponsorship? What about a Honda Fit? How about a new IKEA bookshelf - high value sponsors could get their logos placed nearer to eye-level! I’m imagining an entire house of furniture l

We need to stop normalizing states of “Emergency” to deal with everyday policy issues. It’s inappropriate, anti-democratic, and a dangerous road to head down.

So here's the thing - I personally struggle to be productive writing javascript, and I really like Golang... So "Even when it is justified, make sure that everything STILL work without JavaScript." Seems like a nice idea - e

This is really cool. I've worked in the Emergency Management space for a decade, and this is a clear win - great idea well executed, so kudos. Even if people never look at them, the process of creating them and thinking through persona

Agreed. In fact, I've heard government decision makers actually swayed to go to the cloud due to outages with logic along the lines of, "If Amazon can't keep AWS running, what chance does our 30 person, chronically underfunde

When I feel this way I volunteer locally in my community. I am immediately reminded there’s more work to do helping our fellow humans than can ever be done - and it makes me feel proud and useful when I would otherwise be frustrated and bur

Good advice - but in my experience working with public safety answering points, the ability to get accurate location data from cell phones and viop lines can be spotty, and depends on a number of systems working correctly. That’s all to say

Ha! Very true. That worked- thx.

Given the context, this list aged like milk. "Don't let adverse facts stand in the way of a good decision." So predetermine a decision is "good", then ignore facts to the contrary? Is this what we saw on display at

I've assumed for a long time we are living in simulation for marketing research of some kind ... Most likely, in support of an ad campaign to sell toaster waffles in the plane of reality that is simulating ours (but that's just a

I literally built a color scheme doing this manually last week! Results here were basically as good as what I came up with.

For the purposes of actual “research” pin citation is critical - you can’t just take somebody else’s ideas or words without attribution. If the AI is pulling in ideas and text from other places that needs to be traceable. Does this provide

Interesting site - thanks for sharing. Just wondering where you get stories from, and how you choose the ranking of what gets displayed?

Agreed. Democratically decide where the lines are, or ought to be, then move those lines with amendments and revisions as needed. Judge those lines in the broader context of our legal system. We balance these issues in the physical world wi

This is cool technology, but I think this misses the value of the thank you card in the first place - that you gave the time and attention to each card (and by proxy, person). I guess I wonder without that expense to you, what is the value

by csw-001 5y ago
Slightly different take here - maybe it's not distrust but disbelief, rooted in individuals' personal experience with the government. More than once I have been in water cooler chats with other government technology contractors wh

Not disagreeing with you - but this reminds me of my college job spending all day looking through personal photos. I put myself through school working at a one-hour photo shop in a drug store. It was my job to feed the machine, keep the che

Good point on herd immunity. Also good point on the devastation to the economy and costs of pandemic. It's that "dark and brutal" logic that leads me to argue mandatory vaccination should be on the table as an option to bring

by csw-001 5y ago
A couple of thoughts here. (1) There are a significant number of people relying on us reaching herd immunity because they either can't get the vaccine, or if they can get it they might not be fully protected by it. For that population,
