Intellect also sharpens and stays so only if you constantly exercise it. When you're too poor to pursue an intellectual job you end up doing menial labor which in turn means you're not exercising your intellect. Over time that ine

I'm so glad to see the team behind Pocket Casts find success. It's one app I've never been disappointed with and supported right from the beginning. The paramount quality of a good app is how easily it gets out of the way an

If anything, Facebook is late in launching this. I'm curious why they didn't buy Tinder and get into the game earlier. Maybe they did and figured they'd much rather build it in-house than spend a fortune buying Tinder or some

>The amount of willingness I have to pay more represented as an integer is a very large negative one until capital gains, corporate profits, etc. are taxed at a rate similar to the money I make. I agree. There needs to be reform in multi

I think the uber rich—top one percent of the top one percent—have realized that staying rich requires less than 99% of their net worth. This resulted in the 99% pledge aka the giving pledge and similar movements. It's those that are we

Good argument for socialism. The question that follows any argument that advocates some form of wealth sharing is "what do I get in return?". I think, as a society, we should be valuing the non-materialistic impact we can all have

It seems to me that the way cities are laid out makes all the difference. If you have residential streets which do not see much traffic throughout the day, you don't need designated play streets. Any good old street with a threshold nu

It makes sense if you compare to other contemporary subscription services. Spotify is ~$120 per year Netflix is ~$110-$130 per year Amazon Prime comes with a plethora of auxillary benefits like Amazon Video and Music, Prime day deals, magaz

This was introduced to solve this specific problem https://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=17337376011 It requires buildings to sign up though. There are also services like Parcel Pending that solve this problem.

That's more or less it. There are training sessions you can take where people who are good writers, teach you how to be a better writer. And the meetings, since they revolve around the narratives, involve getting constructive feedback

I meant the practice of writing docs is unique to Amazon. I would imagine it isn't the case at say Google or Facebook to spend the first 15-20 minutes of a meeting reading narratives. By saying this will keep me at Amazon, I meant that

There's no format as it is; whatever suits the occasion I guess. If you're presenting an engineering design, it is expected that your document conveys the what, the why, and the how—ideally many hows along with pros and cons for

Yes, we do write six-page memos. It's not just leadership, even on the engineering side, design documents are six pagers. Contrary to your initial reaction, six-pagers are very effective for both parties—the writer and the reader. You&

Take generous notes. With practice, you'll develop your own _language_ for taking notes. Personally, for me, the act of writing down—or typing if that works better for you—is almost as if reading the content twice, which in some sense

I don't think their intent is to distance themselves from the term. Right there in the post, they're mentioning that the object-relational universe they're talking about is essentially a property graph. However, it doesn&#x27

This is fantastic. When I lived in one of the southern states of India—where water scarcity is a real problem—the government made it mandatory to have rainwater harvesting systems installed in all government and residential buildings. This

It was only a matter of time. Since late 2014/early 2015, Messenger has been trying to cover the kind of use cases WeChat has been successfully handling in the Asian market. There are marketplaces and banks which are completely hosted

I would pay for a TweetDeck subscription. They have consistently acquired products and have ignored them. It is a shame they don't invest more resources on TweetDeck. I am just an end user and I find TweetDeck to be one of the only san

This is at best a random click-bait post. No sources backing up about the information on the said meeting. And why does it have a picture of Steve Ballmer if it is an article about Elop?
