This is often repeated, but historical evidence does not support it. Today, Google shares the majority of it's presence in online ads market with Facebook. Did Google try to "kill" facebook? Yes, they tried super hard in 2011

Hmm from the look of it, it's not clear Hawk eye does everything. Certainly it does pace. But from the article it's hard to say if it would track spin - it's not clear to me that with the natural markings on the ball (seam li

As a tennis player, I think this is super impressive. Their models actually do a decent job of replicating true tennis strategy, and as they pointed out, even account for the quirks like the left handedness of Nadal. However, it's stil

I think your model holds but a key point that needs to be pointed out is that in a game, the game tells you how to win -kill a monster, find a item, etc. In life, there is no higher power to assign you an ultimate objective (unless you are

It's all relative... That's like saying if it was -40 degrees where ever you are and then someone else says "that's nothing, we get that in Antarctica all the time"

This theory doesn't hold up against the test of time. We used to have tyrant monarchs - Genghis Khan would roam the steppe and cutting people's heads off and that would be normal every day life. There are still bad things today, b

I've worked 6 years as a PM, last 4 at FANG Here's some advice, which you are free to take or to leave, (and that's very reasonable since my advice is generic and I can't speak to your exact circumstances) 1) Just start

This really doesn’t match my personal experience at all. I live in Mountain View (work at G) and pay 2k for a 1 bedroom (non luxury). Lived here 3 years and pretty happy with it but I checked Craigslist and padmapper last week for some of t

It could be hurting you by opportunity (no way to ever know) Imagine a single developer who has an idea to make a cool app. Because data linking is a core part of the app, they will either implement Sign in with Facebook or Google. They don

You can already do this to humans pretty much just as easily, I just need some orange cones Then what? You have 20 palettes of dog chew toys or asian pears....? Some of the goods have serial/tracking numbers. The reason people don&#x27

It goes farther than that - the comment parent author doesn't even realize they are exhibiting the same behavior: "This attitude of "we know what's good for you" is apparent in more and more modern tech products&quo

You said the option/strike in question was not a dumb lotto bet and you submitted the volume of trading as your supporting evidence. But the state lottery is literally a dumb lotto bet with super high volume. So I don’t see how this wa

It was heavily traded but there was an equal amount written/sold as bought. Were the writers/sellers lacking of foresight? Were buyers prescient? Was everyone gambling?

A lot of people think that tmobile and metro PCS merger really benefited the mobile carrier industry. While there were more companies before the merger, verizon and at&t were dominating that a long tail of small companies was not true c

I’m shocked at how cynical your perspective is that you don’t grant credit here. Like if I said “the police didn’t save me from the hostage situation. Some hero saved me who happened to be working for the police. In an alternate universe we

Supply and demand. MS could afford to pay more as you said... but why should they? Does your friend seriously consider leaving MS in India? If so, use that as leverage to negotiate. If not, then clearly MS should not offer more money

To answer the question shortly: Yes But I actually think you are mis-portraying the situation is because I don't think the average adult has the ability to comprehend these things. It's not the difference between adults and childr

Yes you're right and I was not saying otherwise. I was trying to point out that it's more the exception than the rule. The entire other 99% of the thread, and the OP topic itself is suggesting that relationships can only be win-lo

My hypothesis of the world is that someone must have luck AND skill to become 100M+ wealthy and I think people commonly create a false dichotomy of luck OR skill. Maybe the reason we never see hundred millionaires lose everything is because
