You cannot tell the billionaires and thousand-aires apart in SF. Same clothes, same iPhone, same Uber, same conversation topics.

If you want to eliminate economic inequality, the most effective way to do it would be to outlaw starting your own company.

Backups are confronting one's fallibility & the transience of the world; we should not be surprised so few can do it.
@three_passions You've tagged things #Trance a couple of times. What's that?
Replying to @three_passions
@three_passions ohh, that seems conceptually related to EA stuff?
@chrinfinity Just found your site and wanted to say I really enjoyed reading a bunch of your articles :)

@hellodigit That'll work fine! I have a US bank acct from internships I did in the states :)
Replying to @hellodigit
@hellodigit Everythings's working, although I just texted "checking" and the response I got doesn't include 3 payments still processing.
@hellodigit (these payments are shown loud and clear in the bank's interface, and the final balance reflects them.)

#idea: thing that tells you a common x-gender name that none of your fb friends have so you can easily pick a random name for a story.
@visakanv huh, I suppose so. I guess I feel like that would be distracting.
@visakanv ...also don't accidentally choose Ocean as your random noun ;)
#trythings Surveying some friends I'd like to skype with, to determine what the best days of the week are for maker vs manager schedule.
...my main conclusions are: • thursday is best weekday if you need one • you need at least 1 weekend day and 1 weekday to hit everyone (1/2)
• sunday/sat are basically equal • monday/tues also (2/2) ...this is based on 20 friends.
Days of the week my friends are available to skype, with the 0-4 number sort of indicating strength of preference.
