A popular uprising against Silicon Valley is coming. Already I hear it from people in my life, all over the country. They blame social media for allowing the Trump memes to warp people's opinion. They're starting to put the pieces

The evidence that the pilots were deliberately masking their flight path shortly before the flight's disappearance, was pretty compelling. I've always felt that the plane was intentionally maneuvered somewhere, but clearly the des

I am in a very similar place right now. Similarly horrified that my only valuable skillset makes me effectively chained to the computer screen, forever. Been self-employed so long that full-time employers see the experience as a disqualifie

This is a pretty good idea to implement for security in general, but isn't it a pretty exhausting amount of work just to avoid confrontation with a single person? You could just put a lawyer in the mix, and make the employee sign a doc

Eh, when they're dangling several months salary in front of you, signing a non-disparagement is a pretty hard thing to pass up. Regardless it's pretty juvenile and self-destructive behavior to go around disparaging an employer for

Bringing in an outsider to handle the "business" part of the business, especially when bestowed with a title like "CEO" over top of the original solo founder, is a recipe for a lopsided relationship. And it's somewh

I made this exact same move about 5 years ago and it was a total fucking disaster. All the things you count as accomplishments as an entrepreneur just look like arrogant showboating during an interview. People hiring for fulltime jobs don&#

I had a similar situation - I didn't discover that I had ADHD until after an accident and possible brain injury brought it to my attention. Though my Drs were very skeptical that the accident caused ADHD, more that the shock threw it i

The amino acid L-Tyrosine is a dopamine precursor and has a mildly beneficial effect. It's available over the counter though I've had to order on Amazon since it's not often found in stores. When I'm off meds I'll t

If you have ADHD or are close to someone with it, do yourself a favor, sit down and watch this lecture series by Dr Russell Barkely: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzBixSjmbc8eFl6UX5_wW... It's geared a little
