I have the same machine and it has performed admirably over the past five years. However recently it has been locking p for two to three minutes at a time. Tends to happen either with Adobe apps loading or if a Chrome tab starts working hard.

I'd love to get another year or two out of the machine. Maybe I just need to clean it.

The most annoying issue with the machine has been the thunderbolt to dual link DVI which causes my primary monitor to not get video when booting a good portion of the time. I replace the cable annually but that seems to only help a bit. Basically that computer never gets shut off because I don't have time in the morning to plug, unplug, restart, etc. until it works. Possibly never restarting also contributes to the lock ups I mentioned.

It kind of felt like to me that the government had a backdoor agreement in place for them to purchase WM well before they declined to offer WM a bailout and declared them insolvent. It was a matter of hours between those two events and there is no way any due diligence was done and negotiations couldn't happen that quick.

I had bet money on the bailout so I was bitter for a while. First real market lesson for me.

How does being a kit home affect resale value if at all?

"...for the rest of us" :)

There was a documentary on the City of God DVD that was better than the film (and I thought it was an amazing film).

A few from Netflix that I could find that I rated:

Endless Summer

Death in Gaza

The Filth and the Fury

Jiro Dreams of Sushi

Baseball

March of the Penguins

The Art of the Steal

Born Into Brothels

The Aristocrats

God Grew Tired of Us

The Fog of War

The Lost Wave

The Last Waltz

Festival Express

I need a wireless bridge and am a bit overwhelmed with the various Unifi offerings. Can you recommend a setup?

The killer feature for Evernote is the web clipper. Any chance of something similar being implemented for Dropbox Paper?

I finally subscribed to Evernote a month ago but hadn't considered Dropbox Paper as an alternative. Very interesting idea. What do you do for web clipping on your desktop?

I try to do this but having a plain text editor built into their site would make it much more powerful for me. There are multiple times a day where I find myself on a system that I don't have my Dropbox files synced to.

Just FYI, when I tried to go to your site it doesn't resolve without the leading www.

Also you have a typo: "Outwith" -> "Without"

Best of luck with your launch!

The email mentions organizing groups by yourself. My initial thought is that a group of startups in the same industry would be the most beneficial but maybe the cross-pollination from a wide-range on industries in a group would yield different viewpoints and better results in the long run.

Any tips on organizing groups?

Does this mean that, like barbecue, it should be eaten in moderation because of cancer risks?

Are you learning new ways to implement existing strategies or learning new strategies to implement?

I get multiple calls and two-second blank voice mails a day (and have for months) from a number that a Google search says is Spectrum. I'm not a customer but they sure are persistent in trying to make me one as I get two or three offers in the mail a week as well.

I would switch to Google Keep in an instant if it has a web clipper. I can't quite wrap my head around changing my workflow to do without one at this point. Probably should start paying Evernote to support them but still fall within their free tier (as much as they keep scaling that back).

I agree with you in theory but I feel that Stripe is an exception in that they have made it vastly easier for people to start businesses that will change the world.

Related to this is the talk the founder of Asana gave at Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders. If you can make the people that are on the front lines of doing good a bit more efficient then you are doing good yourself.

I owned a domain for a couple of years with the intent to crawl Flickr for fishing photos and to link them on a map. Never got around to it though. A shame as I feel like it would have got me fishing more often.

Check out the book Accelerando by fellow HNer cstross. It goes pretty deep into this premise and I found it incredibly thought provoking.

My wife grew up in St. Louis and assumed that basically all white people were Catholic and that you have to tell a joke to get candy when you are going door to door on Halloween.

I didn't downvote you but I do like that your edit provides more info!

I honestly haven't dived into GDPR but I don't see a problem with a website owner offering something of value (an ebook) in exchange for something else of value (an email address). Disallowing that voluntary transactions oversteps the bounds of what I view a free state to be.

Would adding a second checkbox ("I'm not a resident of the EU") be a way for a site owner to still provide this to exchange to non-EU residents?

You don't get any bark without the real smoke.

Just as an FYI you can camp free on national forest land in Oregon. I had a friend that did that for two summers.

There are many consumer product focused companies that have had articles about them posted here. Whether or not Honest is "tech driven" I don't think it can be argued that they have not been operating as a startup.

Dark Matter was a bit more of my cup of coffee than The Expanse. Like in Firefly it is a small rebel crew on a ship exploring the universe.

Still glad the Expanse was picked up.

My one exception is Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.

Agreed. Once I discovered it I realized that tomatoes from the farmer's market might as well have been a completely different fruit from the tomatoes at the grocery store as the taste difference was that striking. I went from being pretty indifferent about tomatoes to them being my favorite fruit/vegetable.

Just in the last couple of years I have noticed the same with lettuce that I have been gifted from a neighbor's garden. I think I missed my window for planting it this year but plan to next year.

Maybe become a Forbes contributor, look for blog writing jobs on Upwork, apply to content creation agencies, or write analysis of trends you can sell to hedge funds, investment banks, or private equity firms.

I had to decline the offer and then click a small link that said "$0.00 to buy" underneath the Kindle icon.

My guess is he has "Algorithmic Trading & DMA" and "Trading and Exchanges". Both are excellent.
