Can you clarify the meaning of 4 tildes surrounded by the letters 'cul', for those of us who are new around here? Thank you

<It sounds nice but I wouldn't know how to action any of that.> I'd rather work with someone who's honest about how they operate than with someone who uses action as a verb.

You need from 24-30+ credits of Accounting coursework in every state. No one is taking 8-10 accounting classes in college to round out their electives. 99% of CPAs have a business degree. Yes, there are exceptions.

You're confusing SITTING for the exam with being issued a license -- it's the latter where you'll need a degree. The rules are set up to allow college students, who are close to graduation, to sit for the exam. The coursework

PASSING the test is what is rigorous. Just as you don't need a law degree to sit for the bar (in some states), the requirements to sit for the CPA exam are basic. But the exam itself is not a walk in the park.

<And you don't need a college degree to become one in many states.> I don't think ANY state requires a degree or CPA license to be employed in a job that may have the word accountant in its title; however, there are certa

What if I just want an offline record of my emails for the day that google decides to delete me from the internet? I'm confused -- Mbox files can indeed be viewed offline. (Not to say your point about the ease of automating Takeout i

I'm straight and disagree with your assertion that our educational system had become feminised to the point of "alienating and neglecting hetero boys". Curious to hear the basis for your opinion, though.

I think there's some confusion over whether the term fit means just attaining an ideal body weight or also having a lean and muscular appearance. The latter isn't so easy to achieve through just walking and diet, but many people a

Counter-point to valid point: exercise can go by more quickly if you're interested in a podcast. And when I'm done exercising, I may not want the podcast on, so I can then focus on work. Just as certain kind of music can be on whe

Many in the medical profession find their job rewarding b/c they enjoy improving the quality of other people's lives. Not the same as social justice but also for a worthy cause. Hats off to those folks...

This podcast was a good listen. One of the authors/hosts, Steven Levitt, worked at a consulting firm when he first got out of school. I don't think anyone would dispute that these firms employ smart and talented people, but that d

Subscribed. Thanks for putting together this quality content. I was checking out your merge dataframes video the other day, that I was led to from a Stack Overflow post. I'm not a novice w/Pandas but I find that things stick bette

Great stuff, swyx. Thank you for saving me some time -- Randy would approve. I'm gonna spend the time you saved me watching his other video, The Last Lecture.

Sounds like you've struck a great balance between being unafraid to tackle some cool, challenging projects and sniffing out the tasks that aren't worth your trouble. Knowing the boundaries of your expertise is key, no matter the d

There is merit to the parent comment advising that some DIY excursions are best left alone, but I appreciate the adventure that comes with grinding my wheels from time to time. Hassle builds character! My buddy is taking years to renova

Clarification: Eating mostly plants is sound advice if you consider that it means eating fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes.

The curse of knowledge (or expertise) is interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curse_of_knowledge Edit: Sorry for the dupe. Vizzier posted this a minute or three before I did.

I respect and agree with what you are saying. Even on the "higher-end", my relationships with the opposite sex were often unorthodox, shallow, or outright dysfunctional. And most of them were before my diagnosis. I'm probably

I should be clear in stating that my life hasn't been a bowl of cherries. Asperger's is at the core of a looooong list of problems I've had with interpersonal relationships, whether it's family, friends, co-workers, room

There was a time when society relegated women to pursuits that frequently deprived them of many opportunities to invent. Fortunately, society has changed.

Good point. The author of that article, Baron-Cohen, has previously written (debated?) about whether HFA/AS is a disability OR a difference. Speaking for myself, and many who identify as having Asperger's -- and your son, from wha

Interesting read. Minor point of clarification: It's noted that many autistic folks struggle with empathy. There are two dimensions to empathy, cognitive and affective . Cognitive is more about perspective taking, or reading the fee

I am not sold that anyone need Apple's help in order to exercise. I have been finding creative ways to work out at home throughout the pandemic. Give me some music and I can do the rest.

The point of listing traits is to give the reader an idea of what characteristics are frequently found in someone who is innovative. Listing these traits can be useful without including a companion list of traits that innovators don't

I understand where you're coming from. What you might consider is that many ideas can be abstracted out and applied to aspects of life that, on the surface, aren't closely related. For instance, Range , one of the books that Gate

Yeah, that 30-day window was ridiculous. I lost my hotmail in 2006 after exclusively using gmail for 6 weeks. I'd like to know the origins of the policy. Who decided that if someone goes a few weeks without checking their email that t
