Happy New Year! I pulled together a collection of the photos I took this year that I enjoyed the most: https://t.co/PkiFJSleoL

@Minirigs Hi there! I bought 2 speakers and a sub and I'd like to return them but I haven't heard back via your website. Is there another way to get support? Thanks!

@adamlaiacano Surprised I don't see Fiona Apple "Fetch the Bolt Cutters". That's mine.

I’m gonna log off for a while and give mastodon a solid try. Hit me up @[email protected] or @[email protected]

You’re in her DMs, I bought her a rice cooker. We are not the same.

[[email protected] @databozo]

@DrewFustin Oh duh that’s fair

[[email protected] @databozo]

@DrewFustin Like this… is it different because household vs individual?

[[email protected] @databozo]

@DrewFustin I’m surprised the 100-500k is the mode. I thought it would be more log normal centered around 50-75k

@DrewFustin @sharifshameem This is some matrix shit. “We first made a perfect world but Drew Fustin wouldn’t accept it.”

@DrewFustin @karazoeller1 Some men buy a red sports car during their midlife crisis… @DrewFustin bought a red chair.

[[email protected] @databozo]

@DrewFustin @therriaultphd I have a couple purchases like that. :D

[[email protected] @databozo]

@DrewFustin I thought you already had that? When’s you get it?

[[email protected] @databozo]

This is a great thread… in addition flip this and instead think what about if you lean into being prone to being laid off? How can you use that to your advantage and how would it change your strategy? Instead of risk averse try risk resilient.

This is my third recession in tech, here's my playbook:
1. Cut spending. Put off vacations, auto, and home purchases. Have 12 months of emergency savings.

2. Put in more effort at work to reach the top 25% of performance.

3. Learn more marketable skills with your extra time.

[[email protected] @databozo]

This is big brain energy. I’ve found it’s only worth getting to that top 5-10% if it happens accidentally. When you’re just such a natural fit you’re tripping over success.

[Karthik Hariharan @hkarthik]

@jbellack Yeah, that's why I'd cap the efforts to reach top 25%, not top 10%. Definitely diminishing returns to beyond that, especially in a recession. Leaving some energy to skill up, network, and be ready to move.

@stromberger1 @jmurffff @MaxWibby Everyone is thinking it

[[email protected] @databozo]

@jakevdp It’s called an air fryer my man. Seriously. Personal experience.

[[email protected] @databozo]

@steveolson @therriaultphd Yes exactly and assumed I think half taken for taxes for doing the lump sum pay out I believe.

[[email protected] @databozo]

@steveolson @therriaultphd For my undergrad I wrote a paper looking for evidence that the number of tickets being sold saturates and you get to positive expected values. These are so rare though it’s hard to build a compelling case.

@jehlokhande UTC is my homie.

I’m trying some things out on mastodon. @[email protected] or @[email protected]
