Definitely true, yes. And it's insanely competitive to get in, and at some of the shops (e.g. Citadel), your work life balance has a giant lead weight on one end of the balance beam, with a vacuum attached that is actively sucking thi

At Meta and L5, probably over $400k or $450k for the average eng. I think it's true both ways: A lot of people assume it's like finance money, but it's not. And on the flip side there's a lot of people coming from norma

I mean even today, if you really want to make a ton of money in software, you're still targeting finance stuff. Not banks, but like HRT or similar.

What's the read throughout to get the data back out, and does it scale to what you'd need to have N search indexes building on top of this shared crawl?

Sorry I will ruin the mystique: It's Do Not Schedule, carry over from when there was a human behind the wheel.

Depends on the employer I guess. Some companies will do match even for DAF distributions (not the initial transfer obviously)

The way it worked for my grandpa, who also lived through the depression was basically this: 1. Living through the depression made him singularly focused on money, to the point where that's basically all he talked about 2. Throughout li

Fair, I should have explicitly stated "it's illegal in all 50 states to organize a militia for this purpose" (Edit: also if we're being pedantic about it, >25 states have laws against forming private militias at all)

I bought a Synology last year and then had to return it because it didn't support two of the enterprise drive model revisions I have (but worked with the others, even one that's the same make). For the same hardware cost I got a r

Disk hosting cost isn't much Bandwidth to get all of that back down to your system is much pricier, depending on how much you use that data.

Right and it's precisely because they can have unimaginable amounts of weight that it's a more tractable thing to solve compared to electric planes. I don't think the article is debating cargo ship vs car carbon footprint her

Fair, but the context here is planes (and boats I guess though that seems less difficult than planes)

Yea it's definitely easier now If only they'd go one step farther and make RSU be covered shares...

by dmoy 2y ago
I've gotten 4 CP2000 over the years from RSU. Since they're non-covered shares, IRS gets data with a $0 basis. Some my fault (missed a page of 1099-B), some the broker's fault (missing one of two forms). In every case you ju

In the days of yore, didn't a decent chunk of people literally have their name come from a family profession? I.e. John Smith, Jan Schmidt, Carl Maria von Weber. As in it wouldn't be just your worth tied to the profession, but N

Lego may run the factories, but the factory will run extra and sell the excess off books. Maybe less so nowadays that (1) they can charge a 20-30% premium over US Lego prices in China, and (2) competitor off-brand Lego have caught up in qu

Depends on the field. Yea generally a bad idea. In tech, absolutely don't take an unpaid internship. In some fields (at least in locales where it's still legal, not California), it's a filter for rich kids who can afford to

Lego is pure IP (both from LEGO itself, and then e.g. Disney or whoever is behind the theme of a given set). If you get sets designed in China and made at the same factories that make Lego bricks, they're like 1/3 the cost. If y

Pedantic note, the tuning is typically before the conductor raises the baton. Depending on the concert, it is often done before the conductor even comes on stage.
