I acknowledge that the company decided to trade productivity for saving money on office space, and then I accept that their choice limits me to 50% of my usual working speed. Maybe I bring this up once, but if my managers dismiss my concer

What a great step in the right direction! The $40k+ you could owe in taxes is still a problem. Perhaps the company could give you an open-ended loan of the $100k (that you paid back if you returned the stock, or after a good exit).

We should fix the legal system to be more effective and more fair. Forced arbitration doesn't do that--it just makes it (more) unfair in different ways.

I did the same thing and it didn't work for me. Curious how some people are different.

Like a lot of well-meaning advice, this did not work for me. Getting up at 5am or 6am for a few weeks just means I feel tired all the time for a few weeks, and it just takes me a couple days to (gratefully) revert back to the night-owl sch

Same thing happened to me: I loved the layout, but the keybord died after a year. I switched to a kinesis, since I know other people who have kept theirs for years.

Yes, it works for me. Set a timer for 10 minutes and commit to doing nothing until the timer runs out, and you will feel a lot less rushed.

Give some money away, even if it's a little bit. In certain circles this is called creating an "abundance mentality," [1]. When you get rid of something that you're worried about not having enough of, it trains your bra

These are the things that have helped me, roughly in order of effectiveness: 1. "Stop doing that". Fix your ergonomics, change your keyboard, and take breaks until the pain goes away. 2. A good physical therapist will help you ro

I wonder what the training data would look like to accomplish this task? Hide a bunch of objects and people in the wilderness and take drone photos? It would be interested to put a thermal camera on the drone and fly at night.
