Thanks! How do you manage your documents in OneDrive? (Folder Structure et al.)

I have apprx. 5k pages to be scanned. Have about 2 days (~30 hours) of time, on my hand. Here are some tools and services that I have been thinking about: (1) Storage - Google Driv…

Thanks. Appreciate the info. I guess the possibilities are endless. Want to get started understanding the basics/foundational elements and any dev kits out there. How do people bui…

Background: Full Stack Programmer, Hardware Engineer, a Designer, and a Physics and Math enthusiast. Where do I start?

People say 6-12 months. I believe it varies by risk profile and career standing. Did someone just pick a number? What is the math involved? And does anyone have a first hand experi…

Where to look for - Problems from your own life that you couldn't solve or suffered solving with existing solutions. Books - Would suggest reading biographies.

Oh man, that sucks to hear. I'm not sure if it's even legal for the employer to collect personal medical info (if you have a family covered under the insurance, potentially exposin…

(Hope this helps someone like me.) Here is a link I was able to find that throws some light on Tax Benefits/Implications: https://www.shrm.org/legalissues/federalresources/pages/fe…

Thanks. Do you have any specific advice in terms of how this "better incentives-better rates" thing works?

Thanks so much. Is there any documentation online that you know of which has more information?

Trying to understand how wellness incentives work -- What's in it for employers, from a monetary benefit standpoint? Do they save up on taxes or insurance costs? (If yes, how does …

Good to know! Thanks. I may have observed this from a non-SF angle, but based on my own experience health, public and manufacturing verticals have the slowest rate of tech adoption…

Thanks for the feedback. That's a great idea! Our goal is to make it super simple, and eliminate any manual labor. Sorry no picture yet. We are hoping to release s video of the moc…
