I don't need an excuse to eat more kimchi, but hey, if it's helpful :-). Kidding aside, I love that more studies seem to keep coming out linking healthy diets with mental and psychological benefits.

Between this and Pivotal moving Cloud Foundry CLI tools to Go, I keep seeing more reasons to add Go to my CV. Ruby will always be fun, but I'm guessing there will be some serious $$ & interest in Go projects in the coming years (ev

I routinely interview for jobs (even when not really looking) and for each one I ask 'how progressive is your company regarding remote work'. If they waffle, I walk immediately. It's time to imprint recruiters with the notion

This is false, false, false. Please everyone, if you stay out of the US for ~ 330 days a year, you are untaxed up to about 100k (changes every year). I've done this 2 years and the savings are insane. Federal income taxes are a huge dr

Get rid of HR completely. The best places I've worked at had no HR team. Instead, the team interviewed and decided together who to hire. Anyone could veto a new hire and anyone could introduce or recommend a new hire. I know this would

I've spent years working in sub-Saharan Africa with defense, security, oil firms etc. and have spent a fair amount of time interacting with non-profit, NGO, microfinance orgs. Not only do they operate with the weakest of reporting requ

I felt sad when I finally completed Braid. It's still one of the best games I've ever played and I knew I was never going to find something like that again. This paper brought me back to that sense of wonder that I had the first t

Interesting, but totally unsurprising. Any time you get a group of elites together, this sort of fun is fairly common. In my opinion, tf it was really anything more than just a roast/goofy party, the reporter would never actually have

Extending the analogy, passwords could be much safer, just as certain roads are much safer (better engineering, guard rails, fluorescent markers, accurate speed limits for a given stretch of roads), police/EMT accessibility. Enforced r

For some this may be a concern. I'd make more money working for 2 hours than the money I'd save from driving to Costco. Substantially more. It's worth it to me.

I've noticed that Amazon has totally changed my shopping habits from 3-5 years ago. Clothes and household expendable items are almost entirely purchased on Amazon (even if I just want to try on a pair of boots). Prime Subscription or P
