Many of these “working class” folks aren’t voting Trump because they are mesmerized or duped by him, they are voting Trump to stop or “stick it” to the most left wing (and loudest) fringe of the Democrat party. If the Dem party just flat ou

My money, my family, and my health is far more important to me than my fellow citizens, and especially my fellow “non citizens”.

There's nothing at all in this link that is related to the authenticity of the emails. It's just more of "Muh Russians" garbage from Wa Post.

So because there might be a market crash in the future and the system might no longer be "working for me", I'm not supposed to be able to use tools and data to screen tenants and verify their ability to pay rent? I'm w

Living in a nice neighborhood isn't a human right. If they want to pay lower rent, they can do so, but usually in a lower quality neighborhood.

So what exactly is this article advocating for? - Not running background checks or verifying income on tenants? - Stopping listing sites like Zillow from listing foreclosures? - Stopping cash RE transactions? Sorry, but as someone who has b

A380s have upstairs. They are being phased out too, but there are still a bunch flying, mostly on international carriers. Always loved flying a380s

Honest question here. Are these neighborhoods “over policed” because their residents commit more crimes, or do the residents commit more crimes because their neighborhood is “over policed”?

It sounds cliche, but "scratch your own itch". My group of friends used to run a pool where we would handicap NFL football games and pay out prizes to the top 10-15% of finishers each season. The pool grew big enough to the point

Personal Capital or Mint. Can't really go wrong with either.

My friends outside of work aren't really technical, nor do they have any interest in startups. I've tried a handful of those founder dating sites, gone to meetups, user groups, met for coffee/beers, and even travelled to meet

Yelp is such a slimy company. First they wall off their mobile web reviews to try to force you to download their POS app, they have the whole extortion racket going trying to strongarm restaurants into paying for advertising, and now this.

I used to do a lot of work in Rails in around 2012-2014. Around 2015 or so I sort of pivoted out of web development and more into data engineering, so I took a bit of a hiatus from making side projects/web apps. When I revisited Rails

Make a routine and commit to it, like going to the gym, or brushing your teeth. You just find time to carve out in the day to practice/learn, even if its like twenty minutes. Typically I would use this time to actually DO something - w

Tournament poker is just brutal. It's entirely common to go 15, 20 tournaments without cashing. You can play great poker, sometimes over the span of a few days, and suddenly get hit with a cold deck or get unlucky and poof you are elim

Maybe I missed it reading the article, but did the OP mention the time limits he was playing at? In blitz (5 minutes or less), time management is absolutely critical . When I went back and reviewed games I lost, it was frequently due to ta

I couldn't agree more. Hopefully this is a wakeup call to Yelp and other slimy sites that try to extort users into downloading their app. Also, small pro-tip for anyone unaware. If you are on mobile web and on Yelp, but don't want

Imposter Syndrome. I've worked in various technical roles at startups, huge public companies, and have received offers from FAANG companies. I still sometimes feel like a complete fraud, like I don't deserve to be in the position

I'd second Chicago and Boston (haven't been to Cincinnati) and also recommend considering Philadelphia as well. Philly is substantially cheaper than NYC (both in rent and general cost of living) but only an hour and a half away, s

You don't necessarily need to quantify the value for every item in this case, or in some cases for quantifying achievements I'd look for other measurements outside of a $ impact or estimate of time saved. For example, for somethin

I use a combination of Personal Capital to get a high level overview of income and expenses by category, along with a custom Google Sheet I made that breaks out projected and actual spend by category. I started out using Mint and was largel

SO will be joining me, but she can't move out west for 2-3 months after my start date. We have visits planned but those 2-3 monhts will be tough.

Great advice. I've written more to-do lists and checklists in the past 3 months than I have in the past 10 years. Room inventories, flights to book, moving checklists, it never stops. And you're right about the opportunity. I keep

thanks! i keep telling myself that I need to step outside my comfort zone to grow, and something like a cross country move is a prime example of it. Still, when I realize that I am moving thousands of miles away in a month, it really stress

Cool thread. I'm not sure if I can narrow it down to once specific "thing" - but here are a few off of the top of my head: - A high quality pair of noise cancelling headphones. I use the Bose QC35. They're great for tuni
