Don't have much to add, but enjoyed it, cool.

My son is very into tabletop warfare and he loves it! He's a big Punic War fan.

We had a chance to work through some of the lessons. Overall very solid foundation I would say. My son's critique was that it was a little confusing when it came to answer format a…

Hi Eric, I'm a homeschooling dad with a 5th and a 6th grader. I made an account and will have my children check it out in the morning and report back.

Rent seeking and corruption are two definitions that spring to mind.

I would take the first two, and replace 3 with Monk/Assassin.

Your idea is interesting. Non-generic advice would be that you did not spend enough time in your deck quantifying the financial opportunity, addressing the risks of writing legal c…

Actively listen to the people in your personal and professional life as if you were a scientist. Think about what they are trying to say to you beneath the words. Do they want prai…

In my lifetime I've seen linearity of the link between 'hard work' and capital formation drastically distorted. Lots of different causes, but the one that strikes me most is also t…

I would like an invite. geoff@foom.co

This 12 Steps to Navier-Stokes tutorial was posted here not too long ago can't find the original post, but here is the link to Prof. Lorena Barba's tutorial. It uses IPython to wor…

My memory is that idea of a stakeholder did not exist in its current form for most of the 80's. The meaning of the word stakeholder has been recommissioned to include people who ha…

Serious question, can you tell me how you use it in a way that you love it? Maybe I'm using it wrong, but I find it to be one more thing on the list of shit I gotta do today. I rec…
