If you played SimCity to create the perfect city, there's still nothing with a similar engaging dynamic.
BUT, if you played it like a city-painter, I recommend Cities: Skylines as an evolution. You can also mod it and the language of choice is C#. Just look at the mods, the community is (was?) amazing.
C:S is great if you want to plan a city, but its simulation elements are sorely lacking. I'd love to see the original design doc for SC2013 (fully agent-based, with histories) get made; that'd probably be the best you can get for a simulation engine.
I have no particular insight to add, but simply wanted to say this is an absolutely wonderful story. A person with poor economic prospects took control and changed their life. Beautiful.
Just came out and published by McGraw-Hill. Cryptoassets by Chris Burniske and Jack Tatar. It approaches crypto as an asset class and isn't very technical. Very much written for fund managers and active investors. Highly recommended.
More than anything, I appreciate the distillation of significant reform ideas without a partisan agenda. With the exception of the judiciary change, all of these ideas would be widely popular with the larger public.
I've used the following method for years and it's really simple. Get an external hard drive and partition it as needed. One for your Time Machine backup and another for data. Use Google Drive to mirror the data and use Arq as your Time Machine in the cloud.
1TB backup drive which is partitioned. Half is data and the other half is time machine. The data partition is mirrored to Google Drive. Then, I use Arq Backup to mirror time machine backups to Google Cloud Storage. In other words, there is always a true local and remote copy of everything. Very cheap and works well.
I concur on Quiver. I've been using it for months and it picks up nicely where Evernote lacks. I do wish it was a bit better in the usability department, but it's a fine tool. Also, I don't think it's been updated since I bought it.
