I read (more accurately listened to) this book a couple of years back. The story itself was engaging and I remember I liked the way everything was described. Once I finished the book though I didn't feel like I took away anything from

Such a great setup! I wish my team would follow something like this. Everyone seems to be in their own silo or they interact with people only for doing a specific task.

It's the same in North America as well. If you get scheduled during lunch time, you will get the opportunity to go outside at least :) All that is moot now because of covid.

Apart from the other points mentioned, I want to add that funding could be a potential issue for studies based on human subjects. More expensive and time consuming compared to studying flies. The general flow of such research is to test var

I don't think the plan to exit the US consumer market was because of the pandemic. I remember there had been talks of exiting the US market even in 2019 ( random article I pulled up after a google search - https://www.thehind

That is insane. How are they even getting away with such a scheme? Did they start out at a 1:1 ratio and change it once network effects and lock-in happened.

I recently listed to an NPR Planet Money podcast regarding the housing shortage. One of the points they mentioned was that the number of people joining construction related trade schools (plumber, electricians, etc) dropped because the cons

I don't think building the feature/product is the challenge here. Signing up all those merchants and convincing them to on-board is going to be time and resource intensive. That is what they are buying.

>institutions in Australia charge enormous interest rates on credit cards, typically 20%+. I think that is the case as well in the US. Credit card interest rates are atrociously high. Which makes it difficult for people who get caught in

Congrats! Will be getting a copy just because I enjoyed reading the online version. I love your writing style!

I have gone on long runs but have never been able to hit the runner's high (that I have read about). I used to have some music on during runs (wasn't really listening to the songs actually) but I have stopped that as well recently

I have been in a couple of companies where they have had the "bring your child to work day" concept. Though it happens very rarely (maybe 1-2 times per year) I doubt that it has any impact.

I think, unfortunately, the big tech companies might disagree with your take on this issue. They continue to invest millions in new and "re-designed" buildings based on open-office plans.

If the employees/CEO live in San Francisco I don't think paying them European salaries will be fair right? They wouldn't be able to afford rent with ~50k range salary. I think your argument makes sense if Wikipedia had been f

I feel it will only be a matter of time before they start charging though (just like how Google is doing). Right now they need all that data to maybe train their models or attract users?

I think as a consumer, if we are talking about breaking businesses, first in line should be the the cable and telecom oligopolies. Big tech can come next. These companies control more critical infrastructure compared to big tech companies.

Adjustable standing desk. Was a complete game changer for me. Before getting one I had regular shoulder pain (and had to even go to a PT few times). Now that I alternate between standing and sitting the shoulder pain is gone. One of the bes

Not OP. I am not sure about PIA. But I had recently done some research on VPNs since I was interested in getting one. From what I remember, most of the VPN services are owned by a few companies. And those companies don't seem to have a

I am sure they thought about the "PR" consequences of shutting this service down. My guess is the number of users are comparatively so low that it doesn't really matter. I doubt any of their major enterprise customers were us

I also have a Sonicare but I bought one of the basic models. I can really see the difference between brushing manually versus using an electric toothbrush. I would definitely be upset if my dentist recommended a more expensive model that is

This series is supposed to be set during the time of Morgoth. So the story is going to be completely different from LotR. I think they are just using the name as a stop gap (and maybe for PR) until they officially name the series.

That's interesting. So does it mean you can cut out the card payment networks like Visa and MasterCard?

That's a great point. This explains why I have not been able to get anything done after lunch during this extended WFH situation. I used to think it was because I ate too much or something similar, but this had never been the case when

Can they have a different privacy policy compared to the other companies in the same field? My understanding is that anyone dealing with healthcare data has to be HIPAA compliant.

I think it depends on how each org or company defines its team structure and the responsibilities of the different roles. We don't have a separate tech lead role in our team. Even so, wouldn't a tech lead be focused only on techni
