I love stories like these. In college, I slept on a futon in a filthy studio apartment. My desk was a piece of wood I put on the arms of a chair, while sitting on the edge of my futon. It worked OK. I don't lionize this state of being.

While I agree the US political system is about to implode, I do not agree with Thiel why it is about to implode. Of course, he is not a trustworthy interlocutor. He has a vested interest in preventing any additional taxation, anit-war, or a

I agree with this sentiment, though I am glad that Go does not fall into the "throw/try/catch" trap and instead treats errors as variables. I think some sugar around this would be uncontroversial.
