the uncertainty principle applies here.. undocumented workers won't seek medical assistance if they're unsure of what will happen when they show up at a medical facility.

Not sure I agree. To some extent, sure.. "Everyone knows that people can learn new things". It's one of those aphorisms that we can probably agree on, however... if you examine how…

I unfollowed all accounts, deleted all my tweets and just login periodically to see what's trending or to follow a hashtag associated with a sporting event I'm interested in. And s…

My current tactic: I'm reading "The Week" via Feedly/RSS only. It's helpful w/r/t with the "reload" impulse and the "casting a wider net" tendency.

I was unfamiliar.. but this made me laugh: "Subsequent closer examination of Titor's assertions provoked widespread skepticism." Ahh, it was the closer examination that lead to the…

I frequent Whole Foods, and I digital nomad a bit, so I visit a lot of Whole Foods-es. Recently came back to the East Bay (SF) and the Whole Foods I'm staying near, more than the o…

Maybe.. As for Transitions, I went with GEN 8.

There are 3 topics covered in the newsletter. It's number 3, scroll down.

I do own WPs, from a couple of years ago, for general use. I walked into a WP store in the last couple of months and asked.. alas, I was told something different.

I needed progressives (tri-focals). WP doesn't do lenses like that. My brand name frames were $200. Lenses were more than $300 on top of the frame price. It's not just the frames.

SF BART was just as full today as it usually is. Headlines might be that big tech companies are telling staff to WFH and paying their hourly employees during this, but most people …

There are usually two sides to this.. in some organizations, people really care about their own titles. In other organizations, especially bigger ones, "Senior" and "Principal" and…

I'm in my late 40s. My son is driving-age. It's hard to explain certain things like "Michael Jackson" to him. I agree with this.

Most devops I’ve run into aren’t doing devops. Devops, against sysadmin, build and manage the systems that manage the systems, hopefully as automations or infra-as-a-service or sof…

What would a "Real Privacy Problems" website/blog, aimed at individuals/consumers, look like and need to do to be an effective site to a) inform, and b) empower people to hold comp…

* Buying lists, dumping money in email campaigns to lists * Losing patience with the development of a sales funnel, dumping money into ads that have no reasonable copy, targeting, …

Here's how I've managed my social: * Deleted Facebook. Don't miss it one bit. * Deleted Reddit. I open the app every once in a while, scan what's popular. But not a lot. * Pruned t…

"Hey [manager], given my recent trip to Italy, I'm going to WFH for [some period of time], make sure I'm healthy..." "OK."

The news media kept hammering the potential for cArmageddon.. which was weird. It was a non-story, and it still is, but I guess someone needs content to promote.

Take my money. All of it.

...and if you can't stand to see it, "hide" it.

That's how you turn on DND... Frustratingly, if you "x" all the notifications, there's still no hint that you can scroll to see night shift & DND toggles. I still have to think rea…
