Not combat-armor, but a lot of motorcycle protective gear is exactly this. D3O is soft/flexible normally, but goes rigid on impact. I have plates of it in my own riding gear. I believe there's also some progressive…
So, following Google's example, a la Google Fi?
Also, the additional task of tracking down all the monthly charges when my personal credit card number was compromised yet again and I need to update my payment details

As I see it, this is another step in a field whose history is a story of force-multipliers. 60 years ago, they used punch-cards. Every decade or so sees a sizable jump in how much an individual programmer can accomplish…
Bingo. I, and others I've known, don't fit in California, so we bootstrapped somewhere with a low cost-of-living and fiber-to-the-home with a proper privacy agreement. Many don't have the goal of growth, but subsistence…
Or union labor. I needed some electrical work on a new house, but there's no electricians available for months. Hanging out with a contractor friend, I mentioned that the state law says "the homeowner OR a licensed…
I used to joke that we couldn't call ourselves Software Engineers without professional liability/E&O insurance, until I got a contract that required I hold exactly that and I learned it just costs $100/mo or so.
Lived & owned homes for 20 years in an area where ASHP are standard installs as the climate range meant 100% of normal (outside of freak polar vortex) heating and cooling was covered by the heat pump. Inexpensive part…
This is the same niche I fell into - building applications to standardize the work happening parallel to SAP because it didn't cover the edge cases, and people created their own workflows using mostly spreadsheets…
You can also buy dechlorinator for use with aquariums - super important to not accidentally kill the bacteria maintaining your nitrogen cycle. A bottle goes a very long way (ratio is drops per gallon of tap water).
Founders can offer to buy the rights back later. I did this exactly - sold exclusive rights to software and team was hired onto acquiring company, years later acquiring company decides to shut down software arm and…

Regarding Forensics - if you were going to work in computer forensics, I did that for a bit after grad school. I didn't last 6 months: aside from a couple corporate espionage cases, everything else was child porn/abuse.…
Many companies don't just undervalue their current staff, they underestimate the market value and demand for that staff. My wife was in this situation, pushed for market analysis of her staff (mostly PMs) to take to…
This is commonly called the 'Paradoxical Reaction' and is pretty well documented, not just for stimulants. Antihistamines, for example, may cause drowsiness in neurotypicals but increased agitation & activity in ADHD.…
This was exactly my fear when designing my new house - I wanted to build a hybrid (heat pump and gas furnace) air-conditioning and water-heating system for a home in a climate with very cold winter and increasingly hot…
As someone navigating this right now - it's a mess. Business is in a no-income-tax state, I moved to 4% state, and it was deemed easiest to be personally responsible for paying quarterly estimates so the business isn't…
Carnivorous plants are only edible in the most technical sense. They grow in low nutrient environments and slowly digest prey - meaning you'd be eating something that is mostly small leaves coated in rotting insect goo.
Precisely what I was thinking - a tool to analyze medical studies, compare, and provide easily digestible results is a tool for pharma, not providers.
