imo firms whose sole area of expertise is making $ & NOT patient safety shouldn't be allowed to muscle their way into life-critical services. My partner worked as a paramedic for both a priva…

> This is a pet theory though, being reinforced over the years by my own cognitive biases :) Imo someone "smart" is someone who is smart enough to admit what they don't know.

It's crazy fun, though. Very relaxing after a tough day's work.

That's actually a good startup idea- online identity management.

Another good practice is to always put your landlords name into online civil court databases for your and neighboring counties. See how many times they have sued tenants and been sued by tenants. Th…

I used to work as a nurse, and certain bay area hospitals would want access to our facebook profile log ins and passwords as part of the hiring background check and our 1-year review. How everybody go…

I don't know why the article intentionally hides the address of this place. Annoying. It's 1027 Waverly. Here's the trulia listing, if anyone is curious (like I was): http:/&#x…

They will go on SSDI.

Increasingly, "short term" disability is the stopgap for displaced blue collar workers. SSDI is rapidly becoming secret Welfare/the new deal: http://apps.npr.org/unfit-…

My old job made us write positive reviews on company time. Basically anywhere that says, "keep doing what you are doing" as the advice to management and/or the reviews are ALL either 1…

I had my first and last experience ever working for a family owned business where the 3 daughters of the owner (straight out of USC) were hired to be the "Directors" of their own departments…

I always keep the sound off, mainly because I read facebook in bed next to my significant other when I can't sleep. I don't want to wake her up blaring some cat video.

Don't forget to tell them to go catch and cook mudcrabs bare handed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44aNi4UgYAo …

I like Wired's take on it better: http://www.wired.com/2016/05/three-cheers-for-peter-thiel/ …

I lived in NYC 7 years and SF 5 years, NYC felt much safer. SF could benefit from a Guiliani type mayor to clean up the streets.

Why?

This is a great look at stagnating American cities and economic mobility in the US. The author parses out the economics that gradually chip away at a city, and the culture that dies with it. My siste…

I'm not into podcasts but I am VERY into audiobooks via audible. I listen to them while commuting, while doing chores around the house and while walking the dog. I used to read voraciously and …

Gray Whale Cove beach in Pacifica is my happy place. There are nude men there, but it keeps the crowds away and they don't harm anyone. Gorgeous beach, peaceful and "secret." Stop an…

Hah... this is awful but so true. We go through the exact same thing. We just had overnight houseguests, the place hasn't been this spotless in years. I even had the carpets steamed!

It's basically going to decimate the blue-collar workforce. "short term disability" is already increasingly the new stopgap between gaps in social welfare for unemployed and underemplo…

Thanks for sharing. Do you sleep with a CPAP now?

That's exactly why I'm afraid to tweet. If I tweeted every stupid thought that flit across my mind, then ever became famous or in the public eye, people could dig up every dumb thing I'…

How is it for swimming? Do you use it to track your laps? I have a Garmin Forerunner 920xt right now and it's a pain because it's too bulky and also doesn't track my kick sets (since …

If I could swim with the apple watch and have it track my laps, I would totally buy one. The non-waterproofing was why I didn't buy it.

Sure! Where are you based out of, I can recommend some specific clubs/starter races/routes if you're interested. I've LOVED it. The majority of the ultra runners are kooky/c…

Oh, I totally agree. There are lots of fun/nice tri clubs and I met a lot of great lifelong friends and great people while enjoying the sport. I certainly don't think that everyone who doe…

I used to do triathlons pretty hard-core with a top tri club in NYC. The amount of athletes I trained with who took illegal performance enhancing drugs was surprisingly high. They would see sketchy …
