Of all the islands in the world, Hawai‘i pulls at my heart strings like an auntie strumming her ukulele. It draws me across the Pacific again and again, and there’s always a moment, while passing through the vast lava plain between Mauna Kea and Hualālai, when the arc of the earth presents itself and I hold my breath in wonder.Time, in geological terms, has a different pace here. Friends wait for me with homemade custard pies and shoyu made fiery by tiny Hawaiian chiles called nīoi. Someone usually shares a lei lovingly sewn with heady pīkake (jasmine) harvested from backyards.…

If you’re one of the 8,000 Meta employees getting laid off in May, the difference between a good and great outcome could be worth $50,000 or more. The main reason for the layoffs the company mentioned is to offset their massive AI CAPEX. I’ve spent 14 years helping people negotiate severance packages, including engineering my own layoff and my wife’s, and Meta’s offer is a great case study for those who voluntarily want to quit their jobs.

I’ve been scammed before, and I know plenty of friends and family members…
