One practice that's helped me is to always cancel immediately, which translates to only paying for one month. Ie. for spotify, netflix pay for the subscription, immediately jump through the hoops to cancel. Forgetfulness turns into mon

Here's an interesting article about the economics, it sounds like Helium won't be economical at scale, because we have so little of it. Hydrogen could work though. https://www.thecgo.org/benchmark/bring-back-h

Another fun thing you can do is return all prepaid response envelopes empty, to increase the cost of the advertising. Marketing mail for the USPS is $13.9 billion of their total revenue of $73.1 billion. (19% of total revenue). The USPS cou

Propane is a good alternative, especially for the home cook. With good ventilation, charcoal is an option too. Both can actually be hotter that the standard or pro gas stove.

To me a more reasonable explanation than any in the article is that after losing the vote, Amazon looked into the warehouse and decided part of the problem was that the managers were making the situation worse. This could have been that the

Yeah I get it, I think it's a better car for a couple with stuff vs. a family. Also very much not a one size fits all car. Most people never camp or go to the beach at all.

This was such a perfect camping/surfing/biking car, I used to rent them off Getaround. The seats actually folded up and to the side, to make a huge amount of room on the back floor. We also slept in that back a few times when it w

Glad to see Apple make progress diversifying away from China. China is just not reliable enough to be your sole supplier anymore. Fifteen years ago with the first iPhone it was low risk. Unfortunately governance has gotten more incompetent

It's odd that people still look to Google or Apple by default for management ideas. Stripe is easily the best run tech company at scale, and might be the best run company in any industry ever. Just emulating the clarity of Stripe'

Odd to put this forward for a profession that pays 150 - 500K with a 1-4 years training. And software one of the fastest growing and most innovative parts of the economy. Breaking that seems bad, right? It would be quite a bit better if mos

Was a huge fan 20 years ago, but it's low quality now. They just don't do much work now and the testing is superficial and lazy.

Is there a more coherent version of this? It's hard to separate important from silly in something this rage filled and conspiratorial.

Just for entertainment... In 1995 or so, netscape server came with server side includes so you have your navigation come from a separate page. You'd put this in your html  and the heade

The non profit university researchers do just as bad, the whole field is one where good research is very very rare. To be a little fair, we don't really understand much about nutrition or have easy ways to do high quality studies. A &q

Anyone actually done this with normal stock options (NSO if it matters) and have advice? My understanding is that it might be achievable with Pensco as the IRA custodian but I'd be interested in hearing how it worked in practice

The problem with stack ranking at places like microsoft was twofold. First small team managers were forced to rank their reports, and each manager had to get rid of the bottom 10% each year. If you had 20 employees you had to fire 2 employe

It would make sense to do the anti stalking notification after say 4 days. This would make stalking labor intensive since the stalker has to swap tags frequently. So if you leave one in someone's car or drop it in a bag, you'd hav

If you are in the SF bay area, LA, Australia, or another place with wildfire smoke problems, the 3M filtrete MPR 1900 filters with a fan is close to ideal. All the smoke uses up a lot of filter material, and this alternative has 10x cheaper

American unions are quite different from European unions. European unions spend a lot of time running apprenticeship programs and doing things like advocating for more productivity. Like trying to figure out how to make the shop floor more

Scanned the paper too with sci hub. Nothing remarkable. But we should be dismissive of any new results from psychology, it just doesn't have systems in place to validate claims. There is some cool stuff in psychology that has been repl

Kind of. The federal rate is 25% for long term holding. But it’s at that higher income tax rate for holding less than a year. In the best case for a CA resident it will be 25% + 13%. But the worst case is as described.
