Currently over 20% of Houston office space sits empty (compare to Denver/Chicago ~13%). That’s because we haven’t even absorbed the empty office space left from the 2015 oil downturn. Office owners are now doing very favorable deals for new tenants as they brace for the coming bankruptcies, rent relief letters, and space reductions. This is likely to be painful for many more months in Houston, even if there is a quick recovery from COV-19.

I sell a product on Amazon and have seen it be AC one day, not the next day, and then two days later, back to AC. Return rate and star rating were constant throughout the period, so I'm at a loss for how this "choice" is bestowed.

Crunchbase lists 19 funding rounds. They've gone through the ringer.

Very impressed by the author's effort, particularly in making the topic easily digestible.

I'm curious what they look like. Is there a place online I could see your work?

I thought the same thing. A) The dude clearly had some loose screws. B) He was convinced his actions were just. After crossing that line, you can justify plenty of stuff to yourself.

This whole battle has felt like the consumers versus the ISP's. Is there economic advantages to consumers if Net Neutrality is eliminated?

Work at McDonald's or drive Uber? Drive Uber because it's cooler than making fries. Make fries because there's a matching 401k program at McD's. These drivers have a choice. If Job 1 pays $100/day and Job 2 pays $110/day, the person should choose Job 2. When other things come into play like fulfillment, entertainment during the day, interest in one's work, etc., the choice becomes less clear, of course. The big thing for me is that these drivers have costs that aren't immediately realized, like the wear and tear on their vehicle or the lost compounding benefit of matching funds in a 401k that they could find at another job. They continue to make an economically poor choice because these costs are easy to forget/ignore/be unaware of.

What's your definition of self-made? I like "Someone with significant wealth who didn't receive inheritance or trust fund money."

"An empty cart rattles loudly." Sounds like you and Coinbase were both better off for not working there.

Google, FB, and Microsoft own cables. So I can see that it's data-intensive companies. What does owning the cable do for them? They get to rent it out to other companies?

"a journey into sales [products]"

At the end, John says he's "100 times better" at sales now than when he started. I didn't read much about things he did to improve his personal selling skills, just how certain products have grown sales at Monitorbook. I don't doubt that he's improved, just would've liked to read more about his sales skill improvement than the products he discovered. Or maybe his point is anyone can be a good salesman because these tools are out there for anyone to use?

You have a great conversion process. I eased right into creating the card and thought 3 bucks is cheap enough to try once so I did it. I guess improvements could be: Filters on the picture, different types of stencils/stamps, and a smaller drawing tool for when I really want to get my art on. Only competition in this space that my google search found was services that send an unedited postcard. Anyone else doing this?

It is the dominant reason people join companies. Perhaps the author just assumed this to be understood? Seems that she is speaking more to what makes a 'motivated' employee - mastery, autonomy, and purpose - according to author Dan Pink.

This is something I can definitely buy into. Currently, I go to 14er's.com to look at trail reports but it's limited to just the 13ers/14ers of Colorado. My friend took me to hike a trail my first summer in CO that had a 10-ft frozen waterfall at the end of it. It was incredible and I've wanted to go back but don't know where it is and have lost contact with the friend. Having an app I could track those smaller trails in would fix that problem for me. By the way, on your What's New page, you've spelled 'where' as 'were'.

edit: This would be great as an app so I can track stuff while I don't have internet/data to use.

Haha I like that detail in the logo.

Was not convinced reading your comment. Site converted me though.
