No, one gained notoriety by making incredible food. Incidentally, he was also an abusive asshole boss, but that was not how he made his fame. Eventually Gordon was so famous for his skills that people would volunteer to be abused by him o

There are a lot of dark patterns Google could use to track you if it wanted to. Does it? Who can say besides those on the inside. If you think they're using this, then there are probably half a dozen other methods you also think they a

If you'd like someone to look at your budget to see if there's some fat you can cut, head on over to forum.mrmoneymustache.com and submit something to the case study forum. People are often surprised by how much they can save with

Google is fairly near MS (Azure did $1.9B in Q1, and GCP+Google Apps did $1.7B). But AWS is ~2.5x the other two.

Hrm. I've worked at a large tech firm for more than a decade and there has never been a full day where VCS or the build farm were down all day. It's notable when it's down for more than twenty minutes.

Kinda makes you wonder why those decisions (to provide bucket iteration, bucket iterators) were made. It's hard to picture a use for such a feature that makes it worthy of adding constraints to a standard container. I would love it if

I'm 100% certain that this is not the norm. However, there is good precedent for being more conservative with the AC than most Americans are. In at least one major European country, that is actually the law: new office buildings cannot

It doesn't shock me, but I think a lot of people don't realize what they're giving up until it's too late, and I think a lot of people are deceiving themselves about exactly what they're getting into.

I read the whole article, including the "why not to get a PhD part." I still thought it was way too kind to the "get a PhD" side of the equation. PhDs represent a tremendous opportunity cost, and I have not seen good evi

Yes. Almost anyone who has enough capital to consider owning MBSen (or interest in entities that transitively own MBSen) would be in the top 20%ile of wealth, at least. And in terms of exposure, naturally, as you have more wealth, you'

In fact, I pointed out the exact effect you mentioned: that this fraud caused diffuse losses. It's well documented that most humans have trouble feeling empathy in the face of statistical harms, so in that sense I'm just a normal

I didn't find it all that sad. Some people got to live in a house paying below market rate for a long time. Some dude pulled one over on some dumb banks and managed to extract a lot of money from their shareholders. Some fraudulent doc

Are you saying that as a lawyer who is aware of this area of law, or are you saying that as a random internet person? I'd be more than a little surprised if your guess is correct. Normally, in my understanding, if one makes a good fait

That doesn't really work in Manhattan. You may use your bit of sidewalk more than almost anyone else, but in terms of the fraction of total use, you are likely less than one percent. Hundreds or thousands of people walk on any given st

I mean, it's bad enough that dog owners have their dogs piss and shit all over the sidewalks. Now they gotta have air-conditioned dog houses on public right of ways too? Not a reasonable ask, in my opinion. Then again, the status quo i
