My first thought: you forgot medical insurance. But I guess if you are making under $10K a year you get it for free. I know I pay $11,500 for medical insurance with a $18K deductible, so could have as much as $30K a year in medical costs. M

Linkedin does this too. It suggested that I connect with an academic copy editor. My only other connection? We sat next to each other at a co-working space. Of course Linkedin was not using geo-location. They must have noticed that we were

I would pick my app carefully. Things that are specific to desktops like AV, disk cleaners, performance monitors would have staying power. Also word processors for specific constituencies. Scriviner, for instance, is for serious writers and

Prototype, prototype, prototype. Break the whole system of launch vehicles down into parts. Perfect each part. One of those parts, a soft landing, is very dangerous to surrounding environs. So perfect the process out at sea. Once you gain c

Twitter should just have implemented Google Ads ten years ago. They would have made money from day 1. Google would have acquired them.

This rambling summary article touches briefly on "natural selection" but no one has yet to look into what seems obvious. In mammals where most parents have to care for their young, if the young did not sleep, did not give their pa

I have had many jobs. Here is how I start a salary negotiation: I name the package that will get me to drop everything and start tomorrow. Salary, bonus, benefits, options. Anything less and we can talk, but I will still be negotiating wi

Nice that he recognizes that land mass springs back after the ice sheet melts. But it looks like he ignores the effect the weight of all that additional water has on pushing the sea floor down. And would that increase the subsuming of plat

Sadly pre-Snowden. Security engineering has changed dramatically now that the extent of the surveillance state has been exposed. Knowing Ross Anderson, I would wager he is working on the 3rd edition now!

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan. When we started out it only cost about $500/month. Jumped to $890 and deductible went to $23K with the affordable healthcare act. Basically, now we pay all of our health care out of pocket.
