Do you have kids? I would love to move out to the country but I'm really worried about impacting my kids ability to develop skills and build a business/social network. My parents m…

"you could sit with your back to the wall instead of to the heavily trafficked area" In many offices, you can't just re-orient your desk or choose to move.

What state/city? I'm assuming you live in the US. I live in Canada and I've never heard of a poor kids childcare of free summer camp paid for by the city even here. People talking …

In general, I'm really starting to question any reports on salary alone once it gets past $100K/year. After that point, performance bonuses in their many forms can have such a larg…

I always thought that technical book writing wasn't about making money directly, but for up selling in other areas. I.e. improving your resume, looking prestigious to potential con…

Sorry, I'm not sure if you want me to address the colloquialism or the statement so I'll address both. "The bar is higher" essentially means that a task is more difficult than it p…

I would argue that content still works, it's just that the bar is higher.

Ideally he won't think anything of it because I've spent so much time with him we're working side by side building his first business by that point.

I have high hopes that the time I'm investing in my kids will not only benefit them, but long term will benefit me as well. At 5 my oldest son is doing a lot of small chores around…

Opportunity cost and the potential of leaving a good company for a potentially toxic work environment are two bad outcomes that I can think of off the top of my head. I'm not sayin…

I'm not the GP, but I've helped others by sending them market rate stats etc, and talked about negotiations generally (e.g: ALWAYS negotiate an offer). Jealousy is real, it will im…

I'm very curious what your take is on revealing your current salary to recruiters/potential employers early. Do you tell them early to avoid wasting your time? For myself I'll just…

This is awesome. Kudos to you. You are doing these guys a favour, but it is also very beneficial to the company in the long run. If they are good and aren't treated well then they …

I'm not arguing that users blocking ads is an issue. To me that is the same as someone deciding to not look at an ad in a magazine or tear them out/cover them up before reading the…

It may be easier to think about this in meatspace. Is it a crime for someone walking around to not look at a billboard? Of course not. Is it a crime for someone to plaster over an …

I'd argue that this is also stealing from the content creators or other people/companies that added actual value (e.g. group running a forum that pays for hosting with ads).

I agree. This is theft. It's technical and complicated so it likely won't be ever be enforced or prosecuted, but I think this is outright stealing.

What about pellets/implants? Aren't they supposed to release more consistently over a longer period? Please excuse my ignorance on this, I am in Canada, have been blessed with natu…

Agreed.

Unfortunately the problem is that they work too well. Every time they are legalized in a limited capacity they are abused in professional sports. The effect is massively amplified …

Relying solely on a helmet seems like a really bad idea. I recommend learning how to fall using your hands/forearms and not damage them at the same time. Martial arts training (jud…

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but there are thousands of banks in the US [1]. Getting rid of all of them except for a single federal bank is a gargantuan task. 1. …

I think you're radically underestimating the entrenched interests that are at play here.

I'm shocked that you value your free time so low. Let's do the math. There are 24 hours in a day. You should be sleeping for ~8 of those leaving 16. Assuming you are supposed to be…
