so Lockpicking Lawyer is a badass and has way more tool time than me. But lockpicking is surprisingly easy. He does it precisely and slowly, but it can be done much more aggressively and with less thought. Individually manipulating the pins is great but turns out aggressive imprecise raking works too, especially on cheaper locks. Lots of techniques out there.

This guy uses it tastefully though and its not hard to see why he likes it and he's right. It's highly readable. The people who hate it probably encountered it during Web 1.0 with accompanying Geocities style webdesign. GIFS! Cursor trails! Neon! Ads in technicolor! And double embossed chunky comic sans links and tables in too many colors because you just could. Web 1.0 was crazy and I miss it.

Almost as petty as pointing out pettiness!

The only way this wouldn't work is if there is a smell your body makes that never leaves your body. But otherwise it seems pretty reasonable that you could read offgassing as a way of detecting underlying effects.

I'm right there with you though, I bet the tricorder has a nose not a eye.

I am currently working in a ROWE (results only work environment). I have a similar schedule. I get way more done and have way more ideas. It's almost as if "gasp" letting people design their own work process makes them more effective!

Don't do those three things though. Do something that will actually change society. Fix, Build, Create, Expand, Move Beyond.

Yeah, they only show me stuff I would have wanted if I knew it existed, which for me is the essence of discovery. If it was limited to this and only the HQ stuff, not the I SEE YOU WENT TO WEBSITE SO HERES THEIR BANNER AD FOR THE NEXT MONTH stuff.

Not enough data to make this conclusion in any actionable way.

Sometimes you just gotta aim at the head.

If your company relied on some sort of margin related to commodity electronic components: congratulations you were doomed anyway, this just hastens it. Let's face it, hardware is not where the money is. Hardware is a tool of software now and forever. If you can't figure out how to make the money with software to pay for the hardware then forget it! I hear Amazon is hiring again.

First mover is a pretty strong advantage.
