Spokane is Eastern Washington, the college in Cheney is literally called Eastern, its just not a desert.

Spokane is not desert. Even surrounding territory is more plains. Some desert military training happens at Yakima much further west.

Interesting video, but it's all from the pov of the city's tax revenue and nothing else. Taking the first example, if they don't build the new food complex and keep the old one, le…

"Cities" is the wrong word here, it's really "downtown" or "city center" areas. The center of activities will move outwards toward the suburbs, but stay in the wider metro area. Th…

Yes, but very limited. They are only allowed to ask "are you a US citizen", and walk a dog around the car. I've never had one take more than 60 seconds in either AZ or CA.

Rest would give you energy regardless, both physically and mentally. Nearly every sport has built in sitting breaks.

It's not about ignoring editors, it's about taking constructive feedback, and the ratio of constructive feedback to noise is very low in complex projects. In those projects, people…

> I've never understood why it's somehow considered more 'consensus'-oriented than say FPTP. Biden won his election with 51% of the vote... Odd example here. That election wasn't F…

Has anyone tried this with real estate solicitors ? I get a message per day about selling my house.

Yes. I worked for a major newspaper and would guess that all the people in editorial make up less than 50% of the staff. You have business, accounting, tech, delivery, support, sal…

+1, that was a great episode. The iOS hack story is especially crazy.

religion != entertainment

Mythology has served various purposes over the course of human history. This is referring specifically to modern superhero culture which may be derived from mythology but isn't com…

Well, then go get a job with work/life balance that pays less.

Wave is for small businesses or consultants. The government doesn’t know about most of the things that happen at low levels until the business reports it. End of the year bookkeepi…

If wave could pipeline directly to H&R block for automated tax filings it could be a really nice experience. Can't expect too much though, I just hope they don't kill it.

Of that difficulty no, but I've been asked plenty of whiteboard questions from small and mid-size companies outside of the west coast.

Not in the "think/work smarter" genre. Taking in diverse content, like reading medium posts all by different authors, can inject new ideas. But it seems this genre has a limit to h…
