Used to use FlowDock and HipChat before that. Asana is pretty awesome for most uses. For software dev, sometimes go with JIRA on-prem because of its customizability with plugins. I try to trial a decent app before running with it for a whi

The bigger problem is the US tax code is a byzantine mess, and duct tape fixes further obscure the greater larceny of the unaware. A simple solution is fair* "flat" (graduated) tax every year on both balance sheet (assets and hold

Git absolutely fails at the claim of being good for remote developers on slow links. If the network drops during such an op, feel free to enjoy starting from scratch.

Warren Buffet paid nearly nothing because of retained earnings. But his family apparently lives modestly, so it doesn't make sense to pay oneself more than necessary.

This huge Russian IT manager I know (6'3 / 250 lbs) was robbed at knife point in the doorway of his hotel in San Jose, CR in 2007. When he went to ask a taxi driver what to do, the driver handed him a knife and suggested he get h

Neither the first time nor the last. In fact, this should be a semi-official running gag (a-la Chaos Monkey) with all journals to keep them honest. Btw I had this wild English prof that claimed to have written crazy shit in undergrad papers

The documentary Dirty Wars suggests that the Obama administration added an increasing number of names to JSOC's kill list based on variable confidence intelligence. Isn't this the definition of mission creep?

According to someone familiar with current specops / USAF rules-of-engagement, the rule is that an officer always had to be present to authorize a kill by a UAV. Period. If JSOC or others were/are doing something different, th
