I had a friend who once told me that once you have kids socializing is easy by the nature of getting the kids out and meeting up with other parents. I have found this to ring true since having our first. We have met other parents through da

This reminds me of twitch in some ways which I feel is a good thing. The use of a schedule is a nice add in to give the appearance of a channel or live stream yet with something to look forward to or schedule appropriately.

I thought about this recently but based on the big cut I would end up taking it makes it basically not worth it. Living in Texas I have no state income tax on top of a tax ecosystem which is being cut I make out more just staying.

I for one would rather have a drone strike program that actually actively avoids civilian casualties as much as possible. There are certainly gray areas here as far as the use of that program from a political standpoint (whether the strikes

I once worked for a company that did some intensive training sessions for the first week. When I finally got around to working on their codebase it was entirely written in VB. This was something they chose to leave out in terms of their tec

My understanding is that the original goals in the infancy, much like the rest of the internet at the time, explicitly wanted to avoid ads in favor of prioritizing user experience. Obviously the timeline shifted away from this but most of t

Does this imply that Amazon will be in the place to negotiate drug prices? Trying to understand what could change given how a lot of PBMs appear to be wed to insurance groups (and now CVS looking to buy Aetna). What would be the next step,

We did something similar for our newborn in the first few months of sleep deprivation. It helped us with focus until we relaxed and could keep better track of it on our own in our head. The key thing these things miss is keeping track of yo

I have known some pretty terrible dentists and they still make a crap ton of money or just rip people off. There isn't some universal truth associated with the amount of money you make and how good you are at your job. This is the enti

This doesn't work so well when your entire manufacturing industry explicitly relies on chinese production. Everything from debt to infrastructure has some dependency rooted in China. This is the whole point. Increase reliance on china

This right here. China has twofold. Mass expansion to increase other countries' reliance on the Chinese (whether this is debt, infrastructure or manufacturing), in addition to closing off to foreign companies. Foreign companies can not

Cause and effect. Uber operates at a significant loss at the whims of VC investment. Operations undercut competition so the competition may have to close down shop and sell off assets or get bought out by the monopoly of the area. When this

It's a fair point that perhaps safety is a concern if you compare the numbers. I personally do not have all the numbers on hand to either confirm or refute that argument. Before you make that comparison I would suggest determining whet

So if you’re an entrepreneur, and circumventing employment regulation is your benchmark for ‘innovation’, it’s really time to get a new playbook.

It is and it isn't. It depends on whether there is a market to begin with. Local job opportunities depend on whether or not there is active startups waiting to compete. It's hard to compete if the main competitor is operating at a

You are conveniently forgetting about the ruthless practice of operating at a significant loss while lying to investors about a grandiose vision of the future. Large corporations regularly do this: overpromise local jobs, undercut everyone
