It's big and heavy, but the Canon 5D mkII released around 2008 still takes beautiful pictures far beyond what most non-pros would ever need. It's tough when you are competing with your decade old products.

I've worked at a lot of different WeWork locations in different cities and countries. They are essentially Starbucks for working - you get the exact same product in every location and it is "good enough". The overall product

One WeWork in London (125 Shaftesbury Avenue) even "closed" to the public as Facebook leased out the entire facility. As far as I can tell, WeWork is not really a coworking business. It's a large-scale office space leasing bu

There are so many reasons that jazz is unpopular. It goes far beyond a single reason like "Americans prefer visual art". As a big fan of jazz and lots of other styles of music, here a few of those reasons I've seen in action:

I love that companies will make it hard to expense a $50 meal but they will gladly let you book an hour meeting with 20 high-paid developers or even let you directly ping 200,000 people which must cost the company many thousands of dollars.

This is great advice. Another related issue I see is when you engineer a new feature that can't always be 100% accurate because the source data is spotty but you intuitively think the new festure should help the classifier anyway when
