I'd love to get involved with and help develop/support more of the ecosystem and community on Austin's far west site.

Like it or not, the city is booming and that means sprawling. Most of the mature tech, older companies, and frankly, capital, is north and west, yet we don't have much of a home and hub for this part of town.

The old 3M campus, Nate Paul's investments there, comes to mind as a perfect spot... In time?

Who's over here with me and interested?

Will I be overpaying, if I get a 2017 Lexus RX350 AWD with 49.5 K miles on it for 32K out of door from a dealership near me? This is my first time buying a used car and also anything outside of a Honda. All insights are appreciated.

How do you think about carried interest as a factor in total comp? Getting 69bps (memelord GPs) in a $420M (see above) fund, which vests over 8 years. It’s a new fund, so won’t be paid out until liquidation 5-7 years later.

Assuming I stay at the fund for two years, and the fund returns 3x, that’s 300k (obviously subject to big change depending on my tenure & returns). When benchmarking against other offers, how should this be valued? Is TC 450k (300k salary/bonus + 150k carry), or less?

Luggage delay claim question

I used Chase explorer to buy tickets for my vacation and luggages were delayed for a month. Per chase term I am entitled $100 a day for 3 days. But the claim agency chase used has been asking for airlines response, which has not came (2month+ now). I am concerned insurance will use this as an excuse to never compensate. Is there a good way to handle this situation?

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?
