Family homes rarely exceed $13M but farms and ranches can get up there. Seems like it should be easy to exclude agricultural land, but there's second-order consequences. If farms and ranches are the best place to hide family wealth, th

A while back there was an article here from someone who moderated their social media use by throttling the connection speed for facebook - with the site getting slower the more time you spent browsing. At the time I read that article, my ac

I went fully remote about 8 years ago. About 3 years ago I realized I turn into a hermit. Being home alone all day is bad for me. The problem is that I live in a small mountain town now and my company is fully remote as well. I rented an

Battery life is easier to market than an acronym that sounds like it's either related to trucks or sheep. RAM eats battery. Apple has made a strategic decision to pretend RAM doesn't exist, ship underpowered hardware, then brag a

This is a good thing, and I think in the absence of this solution we would see intrusive solutions backed by governments and mandated by law. I do have two questions: Is there a plan to verify test results? Are public health authorities in

It's worth listening to the podcast that the screenwriter put out alongside the show. He discusses the decision to collapse the scientists into one character, and explains why he chose to do it this way. Whether or not you agree it&#x

I don't think I have seen a Netflix DVD advertisement in a decade. I would bet that the majority of those 2.7M subscribers joined before Netflix streaming began and never saw a reason to cancel.
