I mean now that they expanded the enrollment every admission comes at the expense of one other. If they said “maximum 200 students over 6 foot 2” then anyone over 6 foot 2 would be disadvantaged because they would be competing for a subset

As an Asian American I hate how we are “white” or “nonwhite” situationally, to our maximum disadvantage. We’re nonwhite so we get racist jokes in middle school and don’t get cast as leading actors. But we’re white enough to keep out of Harv

They say data scientist salaries are the highest but I’ve also found the most noise in data science applicants. I have found a lot of candidates who can do something absolutely amazing with Tensorflow. I have found zero, and thus hired none

That’s true but it’s also true that when you look at just the giants (Apple Facebook Google Amazon Microsoft etc) the average age of the founder is much lower than 51.

Weird framing as a “rap crew.” This was a sophisticated organized criminal enterprise whose members liked to record some music on the side.

Not really, when it comes to speculative investments. A bubble didn't make it genuinely worth more and the pop didn't make it worth less.

Yes, because Apple has such a dialed-in phone manufacturing operation their gross margins are much higher than Samsung so they have more wiggle room on the core parts. Most estimates have Apple's gross margins on phones to be 1.5x-2x t

Even taking the $850m and setting it on fire is $850m that Facebook doesn’t have to buy the next Instagram.

Yeah. “Dear Alice, I saw your right-pad repository on Github and think you’d be a great fit for a job at Google. Can you fill out an application at g00gle.com/jobs? PS is $300K OK with you?”

Why did Apple share this? Is it a legal requirement?

What’s the alternative? Is the Ne555 or is there better?

As with all addictions, peddling the drug is going to be far more lucrative than peddling the cure.

What solved my tech addiction was losing my phone and buying a $50 phone at Best Buy to replace it until I could get a new iPhone. Using it was so aggravating that I started using my phone rarely. So I kept it. And hardly use the piece of s

If anything, the fog of war here shows the costs that have been incurred alongside the massive efficiency gains from outsourcing/subcontracting in the global economy.

Making a small business seem less janky and more like a big business is something that small businesses pay for OFTEN.

Obviously the logic doesn’t work that way, but you absolutely do not see people showing up late to meetings and canceling plans last minute in Minneapolis or Boston the way they do in Los Angeles or Atlanta.

Frozen food doesn’t need to be stocked from the back because they don’t need to make sure the stock turns over very quickly.

I am a PM who has actively made decisions to harm the user to my company’s benefit. Don’t know why you’d put it past us.

Why is it hard to believe the quote? This has been the MO of mass entertainment since the gladiators fought the lions.

Ok, reconcile your incontrovertible fact with the incontrovertible fact that the flagship electric car company’s products are safer than their liquid fuel competitors.

Columbus was considered to be a insanely violent man even by his own men, at the standard of the time... nothing like Jefferson whatsoever.

Columbus himself was a true psychopath and deserves to be remembered as a pure villain. Other figures in European settlement/takeover of the Americas can have “complex” legacies.

LOL idealistic. Basically, if Tesla hasn’t made the absolute safest cars on the market, the auto industry would have sufficiently spread enough FUD about people’s kids burning up in battery fires.

Yeah, that’s why the cold places are cheaper. The benefit is that a certain kind of person stays out of there. The best way to describe it is people who don’t have their shit together. In a place where not dressing for the weather can be a

The answer here is places that are COLD. For any type of city, the one in a colder place is cheaper. Minneapolis might be a good choice, or Chicago if you want a bigger atmosphere. You’ll have to put in elbow grease to create an intellectua
