It's a huge hassle in Boston as well. Pretty boy hustle brokers deserve easy work that doesn't require real education so I can pay more to find a domicile - said no one ever...

Realtors are truly the scum of the earth, hustle culture, gate keeping, maligned incentives for clients, lazy industry in general. Only second to tech recruiters.
Please keep up the good work!

I'm looking for a co-founder with elixir and strong front-end experience or product and sales experience. Technical preference for now. If you like mycology and working with Neo4J feel free to drop a line!
The product I've been working on is intended for the pharma space and somewhat similar to Benchling but targeting a very specific agricultural niche. I've yet to start looking for institutional investment, but now that covid is over I have the bandwidth and drive to take this product full-time!
please email hydrated chia AT gmail DOT com

Perhaps they found better jobs with more accommodating employers, maybe it's not so great working at a company like Google? Good for them!

Deductions are the real "lever" that the ultra rich use, since you can lobby the feds to implement whatever you want. This is why when tax rates post WWII were "over 90%" in top brackets nobody actually paid those taxes. Ironically, in that period most people who would be subject to that tax just took sabbaticals (of sorts) and reduced their income. Contrary to popular belief, most rich people have a far higher IQ than Hollywood actors.

No thank you...
I still can't get over how people fail to realize that arbitrary thresholds for financial reporting (initially set in 1970 at $10k[0]) haven't been adjusted for inflation. To the point where in a not so distant future, settling up funds with friends at a large dinner could in certain cases be considered "structuring"[1]. You have access to all of my credit card records, basically everything I do online, figure it out.
The fed boys have more than enough info, but of course we should trust them with it to tax the rich... Full disclosure, we should definitely tax a-holes with billions in their Roth IRA.

Not for hyperscalers like BackBlaze. They have contracts with specific purchase quotas and guaranteed price deltas. Chia has certainly affected prices on the secondary markets, there hasn't been a better time in the past decade to be a secondary server "junk" seller on eBay! NetApp 4246 JBOD's are going for $1000! Absolutely insane!

But can it farm Chia?
Always cool to get insights into the business and technical challenges at Backblaze!

Yep, you have to build for the architecture you're planning to deploy on.

Initially mis-read this (thanks dyslexia) as "warren rips up bill to ban stock trading by lawmakers" haha (clearly I was thinking of Pelosi)

I'll believe it when I see it, why anyone uses BTRFs (UnRaid or any other form of software raid that isn't ZFS) is still beyond me. At least when we're not talking SSD's ;)
ZFS is incredible, curious to mess around with these new features!

Why would any adult want to live in a loud college town filled with children? This is candidly why I decided to take a break from Boston. It's nice once and a while when you go out / do anything social to be able to meet people who actually have jobs, are your own relative age and aren't well... college students. I really enjoyed my time in boston as a college student, but we all know one weird friend in their mid to late twenties who still thinks it's "cool" to hang out with college kids - that's also really freaking weird.
However, I'm also VERY excited to return to a small office / co-working space.

Without a doubt college / the one time I was unemployed for 6 months and desperately trying to find work while being too stressed to actually study for interviews.

I wonder if there's a marked disadvantage to using this on aircraft? I'm curious if some form of this tech has existed for decades for use on nuclear response TACAMO aircraft? Depending on the frequency response, it seems like this could be a horrible material to coat an aircraft with, due to IR reflectivity?
My uncle works at Tinker AFB in Oklahoma and always used to explain the different unique features of TACAMO [0] aircraft. Also, on a side note, he currently has his identical job he held in the air-force as a civilian and collects multiple pensions (albeit, he was always my "cool engineer uncle" who bought me my first soldering iron).
