I think the most optimistic thing you can do is learn to love the snow & learn to optimize your fun in the snow in a low-carbon way. Some might say, why bother? Waterworld (a mediocre 1995 movie) is inevitable. I prefer to prepare for a future where another Ice Age could occur.

In case anyone was wondering, I spent my twenties making $30,000 a year and eating basmati rice, dal, and a veggie curry. I would cook on weekends & eat the same food during the week. Going to a restaurant was a splurge. Still, I was able to save $2.5k/yr in my Roth IRA.

For most of my thirties, I took about 3-5 personal flights per year, two of which tended to be to see family living in another state, one might be for a vacation, the others for friends & family events like weddings, etc.

Happy Valentine’s Day! If you are in college now, I wish that you may never have to use Date Drop or any other app & instead have good conversations with your classmates between classes, at a frat party, club meeting or in your dorm.

If you know enough about the ecosystem supporting software development, you'll realize that some of us without CS degrees were vibe coding before the term existed and AI tools existed.

I love the idea of off-grid data centers. Electricity regulators have to keep up with this new development, but it’s the most disruptive idea in the electric grid since PURPA.

If you are considering a PhD, know that it is an apprenticeship & consider who would be a good person to learn from & who likes to teach you. Not everyone needs an apprenticeship — some people just need money & time. Which are you?

If any data center bans are happening in the U.S., it's because the tech companies and utilities are being greedy and passing on the extra costs of serving data centers to ordinary customers (even those who rarely use AI).

Indian mangoes are definitely the 'king of fruits' because they taste AND smell good. You just have to visit India to taste one in its best and freshest state.

Here's an experiment for scholars: try to introduce a concept from your field (e.g. physics, finance, etc) to a kid or anyone who hasn't taken the 101 level class in the subject. How well does he or she understand the concept?
