How should you proceed? Grow some thick skin. Modern education has failed you (and you were probably coddled a bit too much). Hard work is small part of a much larger equation which includes context, bigger picture, results etc. Everything

If you can get done in less than 10h what they expect you do in 40 then you have much more to give. It can be anything from aiming at climbing up the ladder to working on your own stuff. You get like 2 decades of life where you have the mos

lol Its funny how this thread just turned into a review of tailwind. IMO Tailwind is awesome (and cant wait to try out v3). It took me a second to warm up to it but now it makes so much sense. You deal with a lot of minutia writing your own

100B+.. Stocks usually trade multiples of their net worth and revenue and this is especially high for tech companies. Also I cant imagine a more accurate index to put in your portfolio for tech startup exposure and when you consider the num

UPDATE: i fucked up the maths, thought it was $0.005 per list request. Its $0.005 for 1k list requests, so its more like $0.005 per million objects.. thats really really cheap.

Its silly that they wont just let you delete the whole bucket but this actually pretty cheap tho. Based on some quick maths, deleting a million files would only cost you like $5. P.S. Again its silly they do this and I'm probably great

I have no idea how those shareholders are going to argue saving Zuckerberg in a suit about Facebook is not in the companies direct interest. Like literally, other than being the CEO, he is also the founder, majority shareholder and the bran

Its very hard to do this without opening up to a lot of potential fuckups and exploits. The way e2e works is by exchanging public keys (kinda like a cryptographic username), imagine having multiple devices and verifying + keeping track of t

Google is sitting on bags of cash and those bags are being devalued like we live in Venezuela (40% of all dollars printed in the last 2 years!). So if you're a cashcow like Google, you want your bags in anything and everything except d

Tor should've have been the default and definitely no ip logs. I understand its not that simple, this probably hurts UX and increases costs but the whole point of the product is privacy. There are plenty of gmail alternatives with cool

I agree Hancock's theories often has a lot of wishful thinking but they seem more plausible to me than the current orthodoxy which imo is definitely wrong. > Another possibility is that chances of advanced civilizations developing

Progress in those cases makes sense, it follows an exponential curve of technological progress that fits perfectly with our understanding of how things work. What doesn't make sense is that all the examples you gave happened in just ov

This is entirely possible.. Modern civilization doesn't make sense. According to the current orthodoxy, we lived hundreds of thousands of years basically like chimpanzees and then in the biological equivalent of a blink of an eye we be
