I think this writeup is a tad lengthy. It's not until the fifth paragraph that I understand what's even going on >Intelligent matching with software is how hiring should work. Failed technical interviews are a big loss for bot

Cash is a great thing, it's something you don't have to worry about and usually is FDIC insured. Personally, I'm holding onto quite a bit right now because I think much of the market might be overvalued. I think I was just

To that I say you can have an even cheaper way to hedge against risk by having put options on the stock you own. Also your example assumes that all the shares were bought at the same time and declined 50%. If you've been investing for

I don't see the difference between having cash on hand and having stocks. You can sell on the market five days a week. Add multiple credit cards with a very high credit line on them you effectively have about 30 days to sell stock fr

That might be slightly offset by being able to reduce your tax liability due to the interest payments of college loans.

Pretty cool. I was going by a book I read a couple years ago, but could be totally wrong. What you mentioned is very interesting and seems to contradict their findings.

Many ancient cultures had the same word for blue and green because they are actually pretty close together from a wavelength perspective. A conjecture is that people started to have a word for the color blue, in addition to green, when blu

So much of Quora is knowing who to follow.

I use Quora a lot. It seems that 70-90% of people who upvote my answers or new followers are from India. Not saying that's a bad thing at all. From an advertising standpoint, though, they would make much more money per capita with m

You're right. I made a bold statement without looking into the details. Looking at their yearly balance sheet, though, their yearly liabilities are going up. They've got quite a bit of debt. A good 1/3 of their assets are

I doubt with the CFO being let go most people will end up getting re-hired in other groups. Their revenues are down, they're closing up shop in some areas or realizing they need to run some areas with less people. It's actually

If a bird strike through an airplane engine can cause major damage to an engine, it's not hard to imagine a drone being able to cause damage. I think there's got to be some education about no fly zones near airports. Lots of thi

I'd pay for Asana if I ever needed to manage a small team on a personal project or if I start my own company. There's just too much intertia for me to change the project management software at the clients I work with now as a con

I know people say things through work IM that they wouldn't message via email. Not a good practice at all, but there is the illusion of something being less permanent via IM.

I feel like Asana would be a mess with a large team of people (say 50+) marching towards one goal. I find it good for small teams. Once you need to roll up higher level reports that go out to C-Suite type management for the status of a ma

I really don't like how you have to be connected to the internet to use the mobile app. I'm a diehard asana user, but this kills it for me when I'm on airplanes. I'm on airplanes 2x a week.

Gross margins are probably pretty good for some items at grocery stores, but in general their income percentages are razor thin.

The only real expectation that I have is that I'll come out of it with tons of experiences. Who knows what'll happen or not happen.

I've been working at a consulting firm for almost six years. Tons of people quit to make their own startups or go into another industry. For me, I'm just thinking of taking a six month leave next year so I can live in Europe, no

Pretty cool. I usually have a passport card and an extra wallet in my bag for if things get stolen (another debit card to a different account, other credit cards, etc). I've never actually used it, but I'm on a flight twice a we

It's not just the Real ID that makes you able to go to Mexico and Canada without a passport. It is that the ID is an 'Enhanced Driver's License.' Currently this only applies to licenses issued in Connecticut, Michigan,

I'm lusting for the X70, but can't justify it (not on price but on principle) because I bought an X100T just 4 months ago. FYI -- I'm totally in love with the X100T.

I have an X100T. I love the camera. It's in my bag everyday. I've shot some awesome stuff in the past few months. A friend's wedding last month and Mardi Gras in New Orleans in the past week. I can't recommend the ca

I've replaced Yelp with Foursquare a while ago for finding things around me and trusting reviews. I've found that the character limit and smaller user base of Foursquare makes reading reviews a much more pleasant experience. I a
