I wish I could tell you exactly when it started happening, but the number of vapid and/or histrionic LinkedIn posts floating to the top of my feed has really picked up in the last 12 months or so. What used to be a pretty useful and co

Isn't the roadshow happening in like 2 weeks? Stocks usually follow right after.

I like the car analogy for browsers back then: Back when I first started using Chrome (I think in 2008), I used to describe it as a weekend race car with all the seats, upholstery, and HVAC stripped out. Fast, no frills. Firefox, on the oth

I have only crocodile tears for bad employers in this scenario, but in my mind, the main reason behind the 2 week customary notice is it's for your coworkers, not really for who is writing your checks. It can be a real dick move to the

The apps are touch-and-go. Some are fairly reliable (assuming wherever you are you have decent data connection), others are abyssmal, and none of them seem to be consistent in either regard. I have found, however, if you sign up for SMS upd

In SOQL you can do it with a nested SELECT, but it's not as intuitive as your standard outer join in SQL: https://developer.salesforce.com/page/A_Deeper_look_at_SOQL_...

I think standing desks are great. I usually use mine for about half the day and adjust it to a seated position for the rest of the day. I will say, though, that while standing or sitting, your posture will dictate how well that time is spen

Esther Gokhale's book "8 Steps to a Pain-Free Back" saved my back. I basically learned that I was sitting like an idiot for hours at a time, and walking in a manner that did not distribute my weight efficiently on my back. I

Agreed. That's the sort of rework that I think can be avoided by a good partnership between the PO and the stakeholders in the nascent stages before physical work begins. I guess the reason why this happens is this weird psychological

For large efforts, I've always subscribed to "define waterfall, build agile". If you don't really hammer away up-front on all the possible avenues stakeholders want to explore in an end product and get those fully listed

It's not just the Eastern Bloc - it's not uncommon in the US, particularly among recent college grads who move to a new state, to not get a new driver's license (which costs $), or to avoid getting new license plates on a car

As I've understood things the more I read, the vast majority of mass deportation and mass executions enacted by the USSR and Nazis were largely inspired by the actions taken in the US vs the large native populations. How those two enti

I knew that was garbage when I would use the cheat and would routinely finish the game with more than 30 lives. After I realized that, I just stopped using it.

They refuse to speculate if one of the speculations is superior to other speculations. Thus, if all speculations are still on the board to be further speculated upon, one cannot speculate further. My head hurts.

I don't understand how this could ever be enforceable. Maybe it's just a symptom of my inability to imagine how this would play out in other justice systems outside the US.

Maybe we're dumb because we're big. More people = more odds of an ignoramus group having critical mass.

I think this is a fair point, and it may be one that is really difficult to grasp now in 2015. But, after 20 years of not doing business face-to-face, what effect will that have on the trustworthiness of transactions when it becomes the nor

We're one step closer to Johnny Cab, though I suspect it will work a little better than the version in Total Recall. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGi6j2VrL0o

Yeah, I never realized how much I would miss having my own office with a door until I moved to an open floor plan. Utterly impossible to concentrate on things w/out headphones.

I loved this series so much. Challenging, interesting, cyberpunk. Best of luck to these guys. I'm 100% in on whatever they create.

Right. That mostly has to do with FATCA, the legislation Congress passed to try to get US persons/entities to stop hiding money overseas in tax shelters: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FATCA

To be fair, re: the financial data, most institutions are required by SEC/FINRA to determine your net worth/assets at the time of application. So, to some degree, it makes sense you have to fill it out every time. There's no reason it has t
