Yeah, I thought it was weird right away too, but brush it off as a tech blog... but then I realized it's actually a finance website. Ruins the credibility of the website instantly. The $4B revolver will likely sit undrawn. When it gets

It's button camouflage. My 82 year old mother has enough trouble figuring out what is a button vs. what's not. She just taps everything on screen to find out. This is going to make it worse.

It's not only meaningless due to T-Mobile being untrustworthy, it's meaningless if it's for a specific network speed or volume. For example, would 3G and a 2GB plan for $50 lifetime guarantee be useful?

My boss would take a piece of data/input and run it through the entire process. It's a string data here, converts to number here, function transforms it here, summarized here, output format there... You wouldn't run into data

I had a boss who had a math degree. He'd map out the flow from start to finish on a whiteboard like you see mathematicians on TV/movies. Always had the smoothest projects because he could foresee problems way in advance. If there

If any Excel alternative wants to make a dent in market share, they need an option for users to mimic all the main Excel shortcuts. Google Sheets is close so it's useable; however, trying to use something like Apple Numbers is like swi

The general advice is to have top of monitor at eye level, but it's been wrong advice for me personally. I now put the middle of the monitor at eye level. Keeps my head up and posture better. Leaning back instead of stooping.

As part of an intro to optimization class in university, we inputted gov't nutrition health guidelines and the McDonalds nutritional menu into a model. Solved how we could hit the health guidelines (min and maximums) by only eating Mc

Yes, it's similar to someone buying land in California. You still "own" the land, but it's still in United States. Ras el-Hekma is still in Egypt. It just happens to be owned by UAE.

You're not asking the correct questions as an interviewer. You should be asking specific questions about projects they've worked on, or about them personally to get to know them. ChatGPT should not be able to answer. Pretend you&

Elon Musk single handedly pushing usage of solar and reducing fossil fuels in cars. Jeff Bezo drove costs down for consumer products. Peter Thiel and Elon at PayPal reduced financial transaction costs... and then you're complaining the

Definitely gets the point across in an instant. Excellent marketing. It's insanity that even when Messages.app is closed, the messages still pop up. Even when not screensharing - I still get an audible ding sound when I'm on video

The gov't isn't really in control of housing prices. First, they (congress + Fed) have some tools but they can be limited in effectiveness. Second, gov't doesn't seem to be functioning effectively themselves right now.

My recollection was that he was a good governor but tied up with political red tape. Also, compare him to other California governors since then and he doesn’t seem so bad.

I see what you are saying. You can indulge too much. There is a certain amount of discipline required. In my method, I have to work for the 20 mins. Essentially practice focusing, work through the restlessness. I also have things during the

Working from home really helped me. I use the Tomato/Pomodoro technique, but backwards. I let myself be distracted for 10 minutes first, then I work for 20 mins after. Distractions such as laundry, reading news come first, which reliev
