This page and video are really really good.

I'm pretty sure that more than a few people are going to watch this and choose to not quit learning how to dance, as it can be super frustrating and seemingly impossible at first.

I don't think that an average person should have any programming skills.

Just like I don't think that the average car owner would require engineering skills, or an average eater would require farming skills.

Units and Email are overlaid on third page.

It's not totally clear to me that these were private messages.

I know that the Canadian Border services agency will look things up that are posted publicly on the internet to verify stories. My guess is that the messages were public and the immigration staff just looked them up and happened to see them.

2 questions:

1) Why wouldn't you go to grad school now?

2) In 30 years, would you regret taking a break in your career for a few years, or would you regret not going?

IMHO, it all depends on your goals really. It doesn't matter if you are unemployed, working at a restaurant, an engineer, or a millionaire CEO, the sun still rises each day and it is up to you to build the experiences, relationships, and, ultimately, memories that will make you the happiest you can be.

I like the point of this article, which I think are:

1) You can rebuild from any point in your life 2) Take care of yourself 3) Live in the moment

Nice list! I kinda think that these apply to all jobs, not just start-up ones.

I also like how the articles points out that these are signs that you like your job, it's a nice reminder that the onus is on the employee to be in a mindset where they enjoy their work.

But I wonder if there is some kind of minimum amount of mining required to verify X number of transactions. If there are many transactions, but few miners, then would transactions begin taking too long to become verified?

"...listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story"

Wow, this is a really, really, really great way to think.

I totally agree with you! It's hard enough to get away with taking vacation when it's quantified. Also, I notice that a lot places offering unlimited vacation tend to be younger companies that are growing which makes it that much harder to "get away" without disruption.

This looks just like Facebook with the Metro UI.
