There's a lot of the middle ground between "median income" and "$10 million per year". There are stories in the web about people who struggle to make ends meet on $400-500k income, because of "lifestyle inflati

I had a good laugh when one of my previous employers tried to solve that with an Outlook plugin. You know what that plugin did? It scheduled half-hour meetings to be 25 minutes long, and 1h meetings to be 50 minutes long. It was actually ad

First of all, clinical trials are typically longer and more thorough than you imagine, they span years. The fact that COVID vaccines were fast-tracked gives people wrong idea about it. Secondly, even after the product hits the market the co

The money you spend to buy a stock does not go to the company issuing it (with exception of the IPO), so you're not really helping them in any way.

I wonder if the fact that we have much lower oxygen content now than 100-50 millions years ago might be a factor here. Also, the fact that despite "climate change" we are living in one of the coolest periods in Earth's histor

Well, Raptor Lake processors released recently are quite good, and it seems that Intel's EUV manufacturing processes will be ready this year. I think Intel has a chance to catch up with, or even surpass TSMC in the next couple years.

Netflix allows you to down vote the content with "Not for me" (thumb down) option. Then it stops suggesting it. The sneaky part is that the option itself is hidden a bit, under "thumb up" button (which expands to three d

But that does not take into account VC-powered startups, like Uber, which never turned profit in their history, so that 500k-1M compensations for ICs are directly financed by VC money, which is unsustainable. I think that's what GP mea
