I took a vegetarian Thai cooking class when I went to Chiang Mai and I love cooking those recipes. The great part is that I can do all the prep on Sunday evening and the meals take about 10 minutes to assemble/cook. The recipes also wo

There's two reasons, to me, why formatters make a lot of sense. First, working in large teams, not everyone will agree on a formatting convention and it's very difficult for people to internalize the convention and stick to it. Th

Penny wise and pound foolish... Micro-optimizations are often easier to wrap our heads around, so we tend to want to focus on them. They're also often situations where you can get a clear win rather than a much more imperfect improveme

Unless you're talking about a very high-level position that either requires substantial leadership traits or very specialized knowledge, interviewing has never been about finding the right person for the job, it's been about fin

Citing a dysfunctional housing market like San Francisco is instructive, but only because it provides contrast to the situation the poster you're replying to was talking about. Tokyo may be expensive, but it also manages to house more

That being unacceptable is based on conditions where owning a car is subsidized by free parking. Remove those subsidies and there would now be a market for more flexible childcare. Your argument amounts to a tautology. A car is necessary un

I think the article's authors would say that you have it backwards. You can't have acceptable alternatives while cities are forcing businesses and developers to subsidize car driving. How can the alternatives compete when the mark

Yes. I managed a team and had to hire many people. My company provided me with a mountain of data that was broken down by location, job title and years of experience. The data was pretty accurate, at least for San Francisco, but I have no w

Anchoring might work if there wasn't an information asymmetry dynamic at play. But companies have way more data on salaries than applicants do. If you anchor too high, they'll just pass since they know what others are paying and k

If you're retiring to another country, it makes sense to open a local bank account and have a fairly substantial amount denominated in the local currency. Some retirement visas even require that. That should protect you against a tempo
