I just went to a talk by a software engineer in SF who was talking about effective altruism and how he personally donates 33% of this income to charity every year... The one thing about personal finance blogs that consistently bother me is

I didn’t find this particularly insightful, and disagree with many of the points made. First of all the post is arguing for more semantic HTML and says nothing about using semantic HTML5 tags over <div>? AFAIK semantic tags didn’t eve

No offense, but I think we’d all be better off with open bank API standards in the US.

I’m not sure, but does it matter? I take issue with a product that markets to consumers as an easy way to authenticate for the purpose of pulling or pushing funds, but is actually authorizing developers to scrape years of transaction hi

Plaid needs to be exposed as one of the most unethical companies in SV. If people are worried about online privacy then they should really be worried about a company that is so deceiving and makes it basically impossible to revoke permissio

Personally I think the younger generation will rethink the entire notion of what retirement is. The stereotype of counting the days til 65 and then all of a sudden you’re playing golf every day for the rest of your life is just comical.

I listened to the Rogan podcast and was definitely confused by some of the arguments he makes e.g. he claimed the celebrities are the "most miserable people in the world" because they get a disproportionate amount of hate directed

I don’t really see a problem with LL questions. There’s only so many linked list question variations and they are a simpler subset of trees/graphs, which are useful and have more real world applications. If I was interviewing I would b

I feel like flexbox works better for how I think about building apps in that I'm usually working on one feature at a time, not "laying out" an entire 2d page at once.

Not to shill for Peloton (I don't have one), but the success of SoulCycle and Barry's Bootcamp show that there's appetite for $32-$35/class "boutique" fitness classes. If you would otherwise go to either/o

Triumph is a strong word. I personally enjoy being a generalist (have been an analyst, PM, and dev), but in my experience companies frown upon it and they will try to put you in jr roles despite having experience in various areas. On the ot

A huge drawback to Google Fi I rarely hear about is that Google is just terrible at customer support. At least with T-Mobile I can call someone, chat with someone, go to a store, get Twitter support, and it's usually pretty quick. The

Interesting - I've been following bolt.com, which seems to guarantee zero chargebacks as well. Given Stripe's scale I now wonder why the value add for Bolt over Stripe is supposed to be now.

I mean higher fares happened a long time ago on both Uber and Lyft. I used to take regular UberX all around SF for <$10. Now I never see a regular Uber for less than $15 and regularly more than $20.

Curious: does anyone actively sell stocks in this situation - even if it's in a retirement portfolio you'd presumably not touch for a long time? I've sold some in the last few weeks though I know the general advice is not rea

I wonder what the default emotion is of most other creatures, specifically other mammals? To me, happiness is just a signal, just like sadness, anger, etc. It's your body telling you something is "good" or "bad" but

If SF, I'm seeing ads all over for 1) Brex (corporate credit cards for startups) and 2) Zerodown (pitching no down payment for homes). It would be quite something if tech and not banks caused the next great recession.

You're giving Plaid and your average user way too much credit. If the inherit trust is so obvious, then why would Plaid not include a very common step in authentication flows like FB and Google to explicitly tell users what they are ag

It's not a weird complaint at all when it's being presented purely as a tool to facilitate money transfer in/out of your bank account.

On the other hand, it's crazy to me that we're all talking about how evil Facebook is for selling the fact that I liked "Family Guy" 15 years ago but for some reason we're all OK cheerleading a company that literall

Isn't it more scary to think how many people are so cavalier with sharing their online banking credentials with a third-party app like Plaid? I don't think enough people realize that when you authenticate with Plaid, even for apps
