It is a good or reasoned take (but perhaps not both!). There is some sliver of hypocrisy in condemning tech companies wholesale while enjoying their products. But just because something is hypocritical, it doesn't invalidate all rela

Are you able to create formatted tables and use structured references? I see Tables listed as a feature on your webpage, but can't find any further information. If it's in the app already, I'm having trouble finding it.

There's no magic necessary. TFA highlights the exact mechanism by which markets can fill a gap or need via entrepreneurship when incumbents fail to deliver what customers want. It's not guaranteed to happen or work in every case,

It'd be like copyright trolling the Library of Babel. The set of useful programs would be totally eclipsed by incoherent gibberish (even if there were a means to ensure that the randomly generated code were syntactically correct). In o

My custom poker study tools: https://poker-study.onrender.com/ I really like the range memorization tool from GTO Wizard, but want to be able to put in custom/arbitrary ranges to test. I also want to be able to import

You're the smartest, most clever, most physically fit, but why does nobody else seem to realize it?

It appears that the phrase has multiple uses/meanings, with priority of definition going to Dunning & Kruger as far as I can find. This is the earliest clear definition in the sense I was recalling that I can dig up: "In its p

“'There are unknown unknowns', and while the idea has been around a while, it doesn’t seem to have a name." There is a name for it. It's called "radical ignorance".

You can have named ranges and cells in Excel, and Excel even has lambda/anonymous functions now. So in latest editions of excel functions can be as general or brittle as they are in any other language or environment, it just depends on

Anyone who hasn't used Excel is totally out of touch with reality (constrained to developed world). Excel is counterintuitive to whom? What intuition does it upset? It's a grid of cells. Each cell can reference any other. You can

Fantastic for investors in Figma specifically, not so fantastic for investors in Adobe. My point is that the IPO price and subsequent price increase are not themselves proof (or even relevant) that preventing the merger was a good thing. Th

There is another side to this coin: Figma's gain here is Adboe's loss. It doesn't make sense to use market-caps of specific companies as yardsticks of consumer welfare, which is the ultimate measure which antitrust actions se

I find 2 invaluable for enhancing search, and combined with 1 & 4, it's a huge boost to self-learning.

We've come a long way in those 266 years: global population 10x'd, meanwhile the share of the population living in extreme poverty went from over 80% to nearly 8%, so not all optimism was misguided. Also there's a lot of room
