I find myself drifting away from work when it gets a bit boring or too challenging. At a startup, this is NOT COOL. (especially when it's a startup you own). I installed BlockSite a few months ago, typed in the URLs of 10 or so places I wa

What I don't understand is how this is in any way better from a policy perspective than a gas tax? A gas tax is already a proxy for distance driven, and - although I disagree with it - it builds in a policy that social progressives like: re
