I got to level 20 or so and had figured out a working algorithm for two cuts whereby you would cut off 1 in the first cut and then find a good angled second cut to split off all the remaining pairs. This got a little more complicated when i

I haven't looked too closely at how this works, but regarding your concern, don't other printing services run this risk too if that's illegal? like Kinkos, FedEx, library printers?

if that rumor holds any water, that would be an impressive team of curators who have a pretty extraordinary ability to spot* globally favorable trends. I remember reading when FB tried to employ human curators for their news section, bias c

I can tell why the pandemic has accelerated its adoption this year (since IPO roadshows are more difficult/impossible?) but why have SPACs been on the rise more recently in general? As in, what's been driving private companies to

I'm totally with you on this. I think it has to do with how I remember and retain information as I learn. I subconsciously use contextual, visual cues to remember where some piece of info was to refer back to ("that one figure in

Good question. Here's two reasons why this particular one report is making the rounds: 1) It's unexpected. Sell-side analysts inherently have a conflict of interest as the parent company's bread and butter is investment banki

Totally. I think there's something different about just being able to watch a master perform their craft vs a "masterclass". I pick up all these little details and routines that might be second nature to them and so they migh

Schools are a place for education but also a signalling tool for recruiting. I imagine it's difficult to get recruited back in your home country with a degree from a foreign institution unless it's a pretty named school. The simpl
