I've found that monitors are a good item to buy used, because they're usually a lot cheaper and 100% as functional...and I like to get used electronics when I can, for environmental/climate reasons. I bought a 27" LG 4k

I think this is a great idea, with one issue -- it seems to me (and I haven't looked at this quantitatively, it's just an impression) that later comments sometimes get buried, so there's an incentive to comment sooner rather

I got a number of internships in high school by just cold emailing a TON of startups, and making it very clear that even though I didn't have a ton of experience, I loved programming and learned quickly. I had a low success rate -- but

This is a subject I've been fascinated with recently. The web isn't nearly as good as it could be at gathering, networking, and assimilating information. I feel that one key aspect of something like this would be the ability to an
