I can nearly guarantee that there are many people living under $1k/mo within 10 miles of wherever you are. That’s the low-chaos option if you really want to focus. Such a question is common from people who are running away from an unhe

Where is the analysis that shows this to be of greater benefit than the total environmental cost?

I wonder how the reverse (YC version of Army/GWOT) would look in your imagination. Little background: long ago I was involved with the founding of SOFWERX, which was a small experiment with ideas of this sort. Also involved with TF Pal

This is both true and untrue. I hate to say it this way, but, the vast majority of the military doesn’t do anything, so maybe you get a lot of blustering about nothing. The closer you get to combat, the more it is like this. I sat through h

> It's impossibly naive to believe such a mindset possible in capital-oriented businesses. That is the perspective I was inviting to the table by writing this; just that it is a very different situation. I have no validated perspect

Ok well, frankly, I wrote this because I didn’t quite get the author’s point. To begin, military officers do not choose their team. I elaborated on the situation in order to highlight the situational differences between choosing startup cof

No; this is just an elaboration on the author’s concept to give perspective on where it may be apt or lacking.

Imagine you sign up to be a startup founder at YC. It’s a salary job, and the pay is low, very low. The promotion schedule is pre-determined, almost invariant of your success. You develop a specialty and your team is assigned to you, rotati

I didn’t read it, but, if true, this seems possible once you understand the broader personality disease associated with alcoholism. These people are ‘extreme takers’, and they are like magnets for codependents who pride themselves on their

Does this extend to salary, wealth, or other more adult signals of status and achievement, or are those actually the goal? There are just a few logical steps off the path of social expectation that will lead you to either solipsistic narcis

This was caused by some bureaucrat “taxing the rich” landowner for the makeshift shack that was built on his property without his knowledge. Plausibly, the landowner burnt it down to reduce taxes. Sounds like a value destruction event to me

I understand the issues, but, this headline sounds absolutely awful to the uninitiated. They can never go backward on this.

Confession: when I say “completely new to JavaScript”, I mean that I once used it to make badly-animated pages as a kid in the 90s. It’s completely different now, so I say I’m a complete beginner.

So… I worked for the commander on a different deployment, and with many of his intel people. I can tell you that he is extremely conscientious about everything that he gets briefed with. The OGA reports were very detailed, and portrayed the

I like the components. I do not like having to do everything through a JSX template. I do not like debugging through a transpiler. I do not like testing a DOM tree I didn’t build. Just my novice view.

I have a little bit of history suggesting alternative COIN strategies to top brass. It’s been 60 years now. Maybe time to rethink.

I read this and still have no idea what the ‘memoized DOM’ is. There is a broken link to ‘how it really works’. Apparently there is a huge speed-up over react. I don’t actually care about this; I’d rather know what the slow parts of browser

Pedantic, but it’s not illegal to not know the law; it’s just not an excuse if you violate it. It’s also practically impossible for a human to know the law, but it’s also practically impossible to arrest everybody, so best bet is to just go

I didn’t read the book (probably should), but I worked with a few of them personally in my second OEF tour. Well, as well as you can if you weren’t in it with them. The thing is, they don’t talk. They call themselves “quiet professionals”.

Yes. I was a large host in 2012, and whenever someone would cause trouble, AirBnB would pay for a Palo Alto hotel room to get them out of there. People would go full psycho just to get a free hotel room. I tried hosting again recently; it w
