   We also figured out you can add arbitrary gifs as "emoticons" with built-in keyboard shortcuts and everything. Great fun ensued sending terrible reddit gifs to communicate :-)

   Anecdote: I interviewed at Booz Allen Hamilton when I was in school and got a bad taste in my mouth from the place. They talked about how you could work your way up but you could only get past a certain level by bringing in business. To get

   I had my first kid when I was 22! We were not prepared for him (it was unplanned) but it has turned out great :-) Like others mentioned it is definitely sub-optimal if your goal is asset-accumulation, but that's not what life is about in my

   There are comments like this every time a company does something dumb, tries to hide it, then it blows up in a big way. I absolutely agree with the sentiment, but I actually do wonder what the true probability of the Streisand Effect actual

   Oh, another tip, discuss salary with your co-workers, only good can come out of it. I feel this doesn't apply if you make more than them for the same position because you negotiated better.

    Did you read the article? If so I'd focus in on the "vanishing caloric density" section (and the rest of it too). Not saying you don't have a good point, but it's not as mindlessly easy as you make it seem.

    I highly recommend workflowy [1]. I use it for todo lists, notes, or any type of list for my real job, side projects, and my personal life. I love how it is so fast and simple it seems like opening todo.txt in notepad, but it's powerful, in
