Your phone isn't actually "dead" when it shows out of battery though, since the display can still power on for another hour+. There's a reserve before you hit the true 0%.

IOI contestants (and people that can memorize lots of difficult algorithms) tend to have high intelligence. If you're looking to hire really smart people and you don't care about false negatives, it's a good way to approach t

Okay, so you have a train carrying 100 shipping containers of varying goods. These goods might have very different densities, weights, and values. Do you tax by weight? But the CO2 is proportional to distance and weight in this case. Do you

Wages are lower in the Deep South than they are in the Great Lakes area. Sometimes by a lot. That's why there's so many factories there - Boeing, VW, Toyota, etc.

The question is, how do you determine what the CO2 consumption of something is? Do you include only direct emissions? What about emissions incurred during manufacturing (e.g. for lithium batteries for electric trucks)? The idea seems cool b

If you were going to redistribute nonuniformly why wouldn't you just tax people and give it to the poor and skip the hide-tax-behind-a-fancy-name exercise? In practice billionaires wouldn't care how much you tax them unless you ta

Smartphones killed the market for low end compact cameras, because the average consumer uses their phone instead of a shitty $200 entry level camera. The high end stuff is doing well with content creators and professionals. You can see th

In my experience BI has no business being done by technical people. You need business people who are just technical enough to use the system for what they need. You need domain knowledge and deep product understanding to know what data to b

Why do we need field permits and park permits to play a game of sports in the first place? It's a park. This is the kind of bureaucratic bullshit that wastes taxpayer dollars and makes people hate the city government.

My local Chipotle is advertising $17.50/h wages and $750 signing bonuses. My local Amazon starts at $19/h. The market for entry level unskilled labor has never been better in the last decade. Maybe you live in Europe or another co

There are plenty of retail jobs. If you haven't seen the news recently, there's a record shortage and large wage increases happening in that entire sector. The reason people still work Amazon is because Amazon pays better than the

If you bought a Nexus 5X or 6P, your device eventually bricked itself due to overheating literally melting the solder connections between the CPU and mainboard. Software support isn't the only thing Android vendors are skimping out on.

An increase in wages (real or nominal) without any increase in housing supply just leads to more money chasing the same supply which means higher rents. We are seeing this play out as we speak in every major city in the U.S. The solution is

Japanese asset prices would otherwise be deflating, so the "infusion" has absolutely had an effect. The CAD has tracked the USD pretty closely in terms of value so even if there wasn't explicit QE there was definitely suffici

Hmm, you say that, but that's what China, Australia, and a lot of other Asia-Pacific nations did. They aren't exactly in better economical shape now.

$46,000/year is $3833/month, which if you go by this calculator for mortgage payments [1] is less than an $800k house. If you live in the Bay Area, you know that you can't buy a shack for $800k unless it's in the Tenderl

You just need to be confident the LTV estimate is correct. That being said I'm pretty bearish on dev tooling in general as it seems like companies don't want to pay for it (but they will pay for expensive AWS services!)

60M cash loss in 2021, with over $100M stock based compensation expense. Maybe with Phabricator shutting down they'll see more growth but the last time I used Gitlab it was not comparable to Phabricator's (and Gerrit's) usefu

I would consider being unable to purchase a rundown house in a mediocre location after 30 years of saving from a high income to be pretty bad. You obviously aren't poor but it's not exactly a good situation to be in.

How this works in practice is that there are informal bosses and political infighting to determine who is the informal boss on a team. You can have pretty flat hierarchies where many teams share 1 director-type person as their boss and it w
