I specifically looked for areas where I knew the end result would actually help people. In this case, I have a lot of mobile experience and interviewed with a medical company that helps diabetics manage their insulins and communicate with

Yeah, I haven't thought everything through yet. However, the hope that this would force more of the new housing to be more affordable. A poor person isn't going to be buying a luxury condo so I was trying to think of a way to ince

This is interesting. I wonder if it would work to make all FHA loans be required to be NEW properties/units. So the only way to get access to the money is to expand the housing. I'm sure there are consequences but I need to thin

You can get to Lewes, DE or Rehoboth Beach, DE in 2.5 hours during off hours and 3 hours in traffic .. So all the DE beaches, South Jersey beaches and Ocean City MD beach are just a bit more time .. You can also get to the Chesapeake Bay in

I agree it isn't a true "college town" but I think with the gentrification and the art college it feels more like a college town than say Carlisle that also has one main college. I think it also has a lot of the cultural dive

You should definitely come to Lancaster PA!!!! There are lots of houses downtown for less than $400K and even new "luxury" condos going up everywhere. There is a convenient train that can have you in Philly in an hour for <$20.

Serious question: What problems do you feel blockchains solves? Just non-governmental currency? I've found another use case that isn't blockchain for blockchain's sake. Also, I don't follow Eth but are proof-of-stake poo

Agreed, I have that vehicle and it isn't quite so big as the monster pick-ups. I've had a SportTrac since 2001. The key thing is that is only has a 4.5' bed. It isn't jacked up and without a 6'-8' bed, it is qu

Complexity is definitely the problem. I think the main problem with most LC/NC solutions is that they offer TOO MUCH customizability. I think there will be more in roads when it becomes a little more opinionated. People always think

Of course, but there are lots of years where the inflation number was almost zero and even one year where it was negative. My allegation is that the basket is nonsense. For example, public college tuition (one of the major expenses for fami

Which makes sense because all other things in the CPI use oil to make and distribute goods. I've stopped paying attention to inflation numbers because they are all lies. The current CPI basket is complete nonsense. The numbers are buil

Or Hatebook could decide that this law is unjust and block all users from Nebraska from accessing their platform as a protest. This would do more to get the law changed than a letter writing campaign, etc. Twitter and the other social platf

Agreed, that is the value of the stand-up, it is forced team communication. Most teams suck at communication so it can have benefits. If you have an amazing communicating team, you don't need them. The big problem that most meetings ha

I agree that trust is a major component, especially from above. But it also requires a "team" mindset. The adhoc calls you are talking about are helpful for the team but they are disruptive to the person. This causes this approach

Or maybe the real answer is spaced repetition because that is how we learn. It would be interesting to try a work week that was say 3 10s on MWF and the other days off. Logistically it would suck but I'm curious about what our producti

We can only hope. The FTC and SEC have been largely absent in the 21st century. We need the CPC to start taking priority over stock price and the market.

Or it is working exactly as intended. We forget sometimes that we have misaligned incentives: We want the most interesting content and Google wants the most ad $$$.

I understand the parent point that this is driven by corruption. The point I was trying to convey is that corruption isn't a sufficient reason for there to be literally zero other work that could feed a family. I don't blame the

This is the sadder but true point that we have too many people and many are stuck doing nonsense and scam work to try to feed their family.

I used to think there were use cases but not anymore. Currency is the only possible one but since it is digital, it leads to the same but different centralization. The days of mining bitcoin in the background and "winning" a full

I think you mention the real reason as a footnote. Ads are SO lucrative that it isn't worth it to be innovative or take huge risks. They do a little here and there but why invest $10B in an idea that is unlikely to have higher margin

I feel like until we catch up on covid demand, there will be short supply and inflation on the shortages. But let's not forget that the oil companies are price gouging now as punishment against growing green technology. This greatly in

It is called the effects of holding interest rates at 0% and constant QE. Too much money looking for returns with no way to get them.

I think that happens because that is what most patients want. They don't want to give up pizza and alcohol. Give me a magic pill instead so I can do what I want.

This is the thing people miss with Agile processes. Agile without shipping is merely wasted churn. Nothing is more demotivating than wasted churn. Agile requires progress. How can everyone learn and re-evaluate if you always stay in same sp
