The pace of renewal / refurbishment for work related and personal may not have the same frequency for most folks. Work laptops updated every 3 years approximately (at least in tech). Personal use may be 5-12 years. I bought a Macbook

Regarding the photo library, I can speak for my wife. We have a kindergartener and one of my wife's favorite activities is to watch pictures / videos of our kid in bed. She can do this for hours on end to entertain herself. She

I have a 5 year old who loves building blocks and legos. We are not even too particular about quality. When I buy blocks for my kid, I am looking for him to learn to have fun by himself without Mom/Dad becoming involved and that is ve

As a parent, I feel for them and this is definitely a situation where cops overstepped their bounds. To play devil's advocate: I am wondering if we have created a system where the cost of being wrong is too high. Imagine what would ha

I don't mind if there are certain companies which don't want to list their salary range. However, they also need to be respectful of candidates' time and energy. Recently I had a company reach out to me and after asking me m

I had a bunch of onsites and Google was the one only one which caused me angst. The fastest that the recruiter ever responded to me was in two days and the scheduler was based in India which meant 1+ day response time. So during my onsite,

Serious question: How do you vet for these? I would be interested in a founding engineer position as well but how do you know that the company itself has potential and not just hot air. Additionally, it seems I cannot get into an early s
