I don't know much about NYC beer outside of a handful of really well known beer bars. I'll ask my super beer nerd buddy.

It's an inexact science. Both poor whites and minorities get indexed together so the whole category gets a slight bump on aggregate whiteness.

My two cents. I honestly think RTJ3 might be a better record top to bottom but the highs are higher on RTJ2. Blockbuster Night Part 1 and Lie, Cheat, Steal are just too good. I'll probably always call RTJ2 my favorite for those two reasons.

I think the American Exceptionalism Scale is something like: 1. White Americans 2. White Europeans 3. All American Fetuses 4. Asians 5. All European Fetesus 6. Brown People

Where on the East Coast man?

If we are going full-on nationalist here lets just round up the non-contributors, regardless of country of origin. I'd rather my taxes go to the guy busting ass and keeping my produce prices low than the motherfucker who ate his way into disability payments and scooters around the frozen section of Wal-Mart all day.

Congress authors bills to be voted on. A majority is required for a bill to become a law. Our local representatives represent our voice in this voting process, drafting legislation or voting with the interest of his or her constituents in mind. In theory anyway. This isn't really how it works today but we sort of pretend it does and keep voting for the same idiots because it is simpler than sitting down and reading about stuff. Between crippling debt and keeping up with the lives of housewives south of the mason dixon there isn't time for critical thinking. When Presidents can't get congress to do shit, or just generally don't want to wait they can take Executive Action. These actions are much more limited in what they can do than laws and can easily be replaced by the next president. All Presidents use them and they usually fall somewhere between "spiteful action to make congress look stupid" and "I can score political points with my base by passing something and making it seem more effective or permanent than it is."

I feel like they've reach the nadir of Mastodon over the past few years. I'll keep my expectations lows but they've got nowhere to go but up and I'll totally give this a shot.

Listen man. I don't really like to be negative about this stuff like this because it takes a lot of guts to commit to your artistic vision and share it with the world. That said, as an interaction designer I can't, in good conscious, not chime in here. I think you’ve got an error in your algorithm/platform. I get why you would think to start with the Private/Personal Understander/Organizer/Developer’s user type, but you should really focus on the Public/Inter-personal Sharer/Contractor/Transactor first. It may be counterintuitive, as your GPHE algorithm is ultimately designed for (and is more powerful when utilised by)the general public but trust me; you are going to gain the most traction by targeting [Main Category 2] first. Essentially the end goal for most contemporary platforms is to monetize. In order to replace or otherwise undermine the value proposition of existing networks and platforms (and algorithms contained therein) you are going to need focus on making the business case for GPHE algorithm’s-platform’s/project’s online currency. Until you’ve done that it will be very difficult to scale your data infrastructure to reach all of [Main Category 1] without facing significant competition from existing platforms. However, if you lead by targeting Public/Inter-personal Sharer/Contractor/Transactor first, you mitigate this issue and can scale exponentially faster. It might not be the way you’ve envisioned it but I’ve worked with a number of platforms like this (though not exactly like this, obviously) and I think this is your best bet. I dunno. My two cents.

The Microsoft busses (Connectors I think) hit most major neighborhoods with a huge area. You might want to check and make sure your are eligible as a contract employee, but I'd imagine you are!

Yo T, if you want to grab coffee when you come up to look for houses I can drive you around some neighborhoods if you want. I'm still learning the city so it helps me too. I found it helpful when I was looking for neighborhoods. Buddy took me around. I have friend who did temp to hire at Microsoft. I'll ask him if he has any pointers of whatever. What is your role?

I'm moving to Seattle in 9 days, so I just finished the relocation process. Hit me up if you have any questions!

Are you relocating to Seattle?

His orange ass is surely chapped. The defensive press conference was a pretty clear indicator.

The second best deal I ever got on VC was a pristine copy of Frances. Not germane to the current discussion but good for me.

Officially a Seattle resident on 2/1. Well, technically a West Seattle resident.

Well, I just loaded the entire collection in a moving container. I did what I could to secure them, but we will see. Fingers crossed.

I would never call you a white supremacist! I find the frequency of that accusation abhorrent. The other two though... eh, I can see it.

I will be there too man.

I would have never guess you'd have one of those! I don't know why but it seems like that data collection would be something you would be against. I dunno. Im not passing judgement. Just remarking.

Anyone here do tax stuff and willing to double-check my math on salary, tax burden and take-home pay?

Sunday Christmas is weird Christmas. It felt like Christmas Eve yesterday to me. Hope everyone has a great holiday.

It's beer, so there isn't a RIGHT answer but how old was your Pliny? Pliny falls off pretty fast. Anything over four weeks is pushing it I think. To me what made Pliny special was the clarity and how it still had a sort of delicate approach relative to many East Coast bruisers. Delicate may not be the right word, but for my money, it's more fun to drink than a lot of the super sought after stuff. All these new IPAs that drink like milkshakes or lattes are crazy to me

You may already know or be doing this but having just gone through the process I can say that internal referrals seem to be the best bet. Response and follow-ups were just generally better and a lot of recruiters or hiring managers told me they get enough applicants through referrals that they rarely do anything with the generals unless they really have a stand-out. In fact, a lot of employees said it was literally impossible to get in the door without an internal referral, even when the people in charge of that process said otherwise. This is the design industry, so not engineering, but possibly some parallels. It can be frustrating. Good luck!
