Sure, but if I can work from home in Malibu, it is a sweet deal too. But for most people in LA, it is not the case.

Lived in LA for a decade plus. The biggest problem in LA is the traffic, plus that you need a car to go anywhere. Try to go on average day from Griffith Park(Observatory in the picture) to Santa Monica(surfing). You will hate your life. Peo

For starters there are two types of loans in the system, federal(92%) and private(8%). Federal is less of a loan, but more a subsidy that you have to repay at later date if you can. There is no market mechanism involved, government sets the

Very on point. We have democracy on a government level and have 1 day in 2 years to select our representatives. For the rest of the time we have to please our boss, that we have not much say about and that has a lot of power about economic

Lambda School run into the realities of education economics. As a society, we decided to subsidize high performers so they can actually focus on building/researching things and securitize everyone else. The fact of the matter is educat

Look I don't mind that defence. But can we like all get such good defence. Where do I sign up or who to vote for so every American citizen gets a legal representation like this. Normally if you defraud somebody, you are going to prison

We don't know what is their risk profile. The goal should never be to beat the market, but to beat the market relative to risk exposure. I don’t doubt though that a lot of money is wasted on fees and salaries can be preserved via passi

For startes I do run a business, but it is irrelevant. To understand how economy works, algebra is enough. There is nothing wrong with government providing liquidity by purchasing corporate debt and replacing lost cashflows. A lot of corpor

I think the discussion here about online recurring payment services, where customers just churn if you ignore them long enough. One off projects, yep you better do everything what client says and don't forget to chase after them to pay

It is a resources allocation problem. Support is very linear in nature. More issues you have, more people you need to take in feedback and act on it. For early companies with very MVP products, support can just kill them, because they will

Bad customers provide value early on, because they basically do free QA. Also early there is not enough data to know who are the bad customers or who customers who are having real problems, they all look the same. The best way to deal with

For any non-violent crimes we should not send people to prison. I don't even know why it became a criminal matter. Civil courts can do that job really well. If we prosecute everyone who took information from the previous job, then ther

The problem with that approach as in any negotiation that in order to be successful, you need to put your job on the line every time you go to negotiate to have the maximum leverage. It is all fine and dandy if you win every time, but if yo

It depends on the mindset. From my point of view, it is a huge success, because now when you apply for normal game jobs, you will massively stand out for creating something that people used and supported it over time. Basically you will hav

It wouldn't work in this case. It will be similar to drug trade, where everything is hush hush and the price probably will go up. It will just push more innocent people into white colar crime. You are running the company. You spend all

People who give a great advice can back it up by data, logical explanation, operational experience and are aware of their limitations. People who give bad advice are people who repeat the people above, but without relevant background. It is
