Yes, many (if not most?) providers stopped taking insurance for various reasons. The rates provided by insurers are a fraction of the rates they can get charging out of pocket. And insurers try to shorten therapy sessions, or ask why a pati

A twist on the old “what happens when you type google.com into your address bar and press enter” question. If I were answering I’d talk about a couple areas I can adapt from the repo below, and save some time to also talk about API services

Can you trigger the reset password flow on disqus, etc? That’s what I’ve done on a few sites to disconnect from 3rd party oauth and use email instead.

I have used Waze regularly since 2014, and my perception is that it plans more aggressive routes (trickier turns, using side streets, etc) to shave off a few more minutes than Maps, whereas Maps will stick to the major, less complicated rou

It's well-accepted in psychology/sociology that moral development extends beyond simply following the law, i.e. using the law as a stand-in for moral principles. E.g. in Kohlberg's stages of moral development[1], there is a p

This has been my experience also. I finished the Nix Pills, and got some personal Python/Haskell projects built using nixpkgs by following the nixpkgs language-specific documentation, but anything off the beaten path is going to involv

Agreed, I see this often where people confuse their marginal income (e.g. $0) with their total income. Most are paid a salary and don’t just choose to work an extra hour on a moment’s notice. Let alone the possibility of working 24x7 and ha

Tailscale has been a godsend for my team, saving us quite a bit of effort with VPN/firewall administration. There are very few rough edges, and it tends to just work (at least at our scale of a few thousand nodes). We moved over about

Employers are setting GPA cutoffs and checking transcripts for some of the competitive jobs for fresh grads and interns. Not unusual to see a hard GPA cutoff of 3.7, and the employer wants a copy of your transcript sent directly from the un

No, and I am actively interviewing to leave. I treat interviewing like a chance to “re-level” myself with a sorta-objective third party, and I am getting offers for 10-20%+ higher comp. The fundamental issue is that optimizing things, payin

I’ve found it depends on the position mainly. The more you thrust vertically (cowgirl, etc), the less satisfying due to less bounce. On the other hand, foam is better for digging in for horizontal thrusting (doggy, missionary). This is why

In most companies in the USA, 2 consecutive weeks off is longer than normal. Not unusual to have a total of 2-4 weeks vacation to use each year.

The elephant in the room is that this sort of enlightened centrism, while it sounds noble, rests on several ill-formed assumptions. The first is that, by reading from both sides, they’ll balance and you’ll arrive at an enlightened center. T

Even though this isn’t official guidance at my FAANG, I’ve started weeding out anyone who (as best as I can infer) cares about political activism. They are damaging to an organization. Even if they don’t start political interest groups at w

I love this concept! Especially that you are crowdsourcing completions, so some of the more niche ones can still get built. Thank you for putting so many examples on your landing page. This seems obvious but so many landing pages don’t show

Fields where tech is not at least seen as a key differentiator can be very frustrating. Expect to work in a culture where basic best practices aren’t used or even known. Expect decision makers not to understand how good software can speed u

Yeah, seriously. It’s Basecamp. There’s a very deep bench of engineers and product people that would love to backfill the roles. It will still be damaging short term because they lost a lot of depth in cultural and product knowledge, with t

Exactly this. What people don’t realize is this move is hardly political. It’s all about building a better business. When work is a safe space free from political flame wars, employees can actually focus on the one thing they were hired to

Yes, in fact those people who enjoy politics and advocacy outside of work should be actively discouraged from working in high performing organizations. I certainly filter them out during my interview process as they are more likely to be a

Unfortunately this won’t happen until the employee:employer power imbalance is changed, which effectively means a worker co-op.

This is a great (and refreshing) perspective on how to inspire employees by crafting a truly flexible work environment. We (especially the creative class) aren’t cogs to clock in 40 hours a week and leave. We want more from our employers. T

You’re right - section 3 very purposefully doesn’t set guidelines for what’s “fair” so you get many liberal outlets presenting just right-of-center as the opposing viewpoint. In many ways it accelerated Limbaugh et al because viewers could

Censoring Maduro, effectively a dictator, is absolutely the right thing to do here despite the effect being overblown (it’s a Facebook page after all). There is no reason to require a private platform to host any and all content, telling Fa
