My biggest problem is dealing with people who act mindlessly. Like people talking loudly in a common work room, people not noticing they make a mess, people standing in the middle of a common walking path - or blocking an entrance, and gene

Are you referring to the median funded application or the median submitted application? You had mentioned the day before the deadline applications are submitted at a rate of one per minute, which is bound to bring the median closer to the d

I can confirm a friend incorporated and did the e-verification themselves and indeed did not have the 90 day unemployment problem.

Using your non-dominant hand challenges the brain to coordinate a new movement. The brain is not an expert in this new movement. It has to work hard to get it right and does a bad job initially. Since it's bad at it, you have to stick

+1 for that. The biggest thing I noticed is it made me a better thinker. I'd love to hear more about what you learned from it.

Seemingly small things like flossing and using your non-dominant hand to open doors improve self control. Deceptively small things like that lead into bigger things.

What happens if a user changes client machines? You seem to suggest storing their hashed password in the browser, but if they change machines they won't have that hashed password around. How will you go from plaintext password to hashe

The browser extension is the missing link. That's what makes it impossible for malicious code in a frontend's source code to go unnoticed. I wish you had an example of a custom application that uses your storage, so people can see

When will we have dynamic pinning? I'm ready right now to try either TACK or crypt.io. What should I do if I want results over the next 24 hours? Also, and I mean this for both TACK and crypt.io, is there a self-contained, easy example

I wish there was a way to tell, preferably sooner than later, whether thinking hard or building fast is better than the other. How would you know if you're doing the right thing?

Thank you, knowing why something is more important than something else is a good point.

Are there any particular challenges, projects or exercises that worked better for you than others? What types of challenges work better than others? Would flossing every night be enough to make you more determined?

it's important to not think that we can solve problems with better technology I'm surprised he says this. Effective solutions often come from a side angle, not a frontal attack. Why would a frontal attack in politics work?

SVN being centralized guarantees pre/post commit integration is also centralized. You can't enforce that with Git because people can bypass the integration hooks.
