This to me is the biggest issue with Tesla- they aren't a startup that just did its first big product release and is struggling to keep up with demand, they are a 16 year old company that is still failing to keep up with demand and can

You hear a lot about successful companies, and the numerous quantities of startups that don't make it, but you don't really hear much about founders of companies that don't make it. Do they typically get "regular" j

The Honeywell Lyrics actually geofence you via their mobile app- it works so much better, its literally set and forget. We have our geofence ring at a 10 block radius around our home. You can combine that with preferred day and night temper

This is great, it feels like the 90s again- at first I was not a fan of the single page format, it felt a bit short, but I came around to appreciate it- and if anything it will drive traffic to the linked sites if I want more info, which th

I think the key is looking for longevity. A book at the top of a bestseller list for a week is a mere blip. Books start catching my attention when I seem them out there for about 3 months- its not some flash in the pan or selling just becau

Indeed- I am out of school almost 20 years now, distributed systems were an advanced research topic and no class on them existed. My database course was an elective and focused entirely on RDBMS'es and SQL. I have kept up to date on th

I have had similar stuff come up, the most cut and dried example I could pinpoint was when on a Sunday morning, Meet the Press, which after the 2016 election I had started watching each week, was pushed off in place of a golf tournament tha

This has been the hardest for me- Some people are truly incompetent. The VAST majority are not though. They are solving the problem in the most optimal way they see fit for the constraints given to them. Constraints that you may have no awa

That's a great deck, I love the presentation and aesthetic.

I was interested to see if my memory was correct- the group was set up by David Abrahams. Which then sent me down a rabbit-hole of why has he seemed to have faded from the scene the last few years? It seems he has been working on Swift for

Agreed here- was very excited about this book, bought it as soon as I heard of it. Then I opened it, and it was intense. I joined a study group set up by I can't remember exactly who but was fairly "famous" in C++ circles, an

Around the holidays this past year I was home flipping through channels and a movie from the 1970s was on with a car chase scene. It was comical to watch by today's standards... these cars were merely skidding/drifting when making

I did something a bit different- at the end of the term, I would rewrite my notes. A v2.0 of them. In the process I was going over all of my previous notes, but by that point I had a much greater understanding of how all the things fit toge

I had a physical a few years ago and it was noted that I had a low level of vitamin D. I took supplements for that as well (my first time ever taking a supplement). I actually stopped that after the bottle ran out because I read various thi

They may be looking to get out, but you are essentially asking them to leave their current job so they can spend a month (or whatever) on a paid interview at your company. You are not only giving up your previous job, you are essentially gi

This seems good on the surface, but I can't imagine top tier talent at a FANG or equivalent ever leaving their job to do this. I feel this filter will only leave behind those who are currently contractors that are interested in maybe g

I don't have the bottle handy with me, being at work, but I do know I did some basic research on this and its "chelated", not sure what exact type it is beyond that. Agreed though that bioavailability of any nutritional suppl

I started taking magnesium supplements about 9 months ago, not for any depression issues, but more for muscle issues. I had a weird leg muscle injury a few years ago that I never really got a proper diagnosis for that happened when doing so

I also worked at a few IBs before I came to the realization that one was just worst than the next. I thought that they worked by underpaying people just out of school, but dangling the carrot of big bucks that always seemed just out of re

I actually got so fed up with robocallers, and really people just calling me in general that I looked into setting up a 900 number. If people really want to intrude and take up my time, they can compensate me for it. Unfortunately, 900 numb

Indeed- I thank the FANGs everyday for pulling up my salary. In 2013 I was making about 1/3 what I am now in the financial industry in NYC doing algo trading/HFT. I was reluctant, but after years of seeming to miss out on the big

eh, those are more CYA than anything. Yes, these are risks, but thats in plain sight. Its about disclosing all the ways you could fail, however obvious, to avoid a lawsuit. There are lots of scary statements like that in most financials.

Interestingly, I have had the opposite experience. In a legit startup, at least one that is pre-significant revenue, when you are still looking for "market fit" (aka bleeding money), you don't have the time to reinvent the wh

Why would you assume that thick socks are uncomfortable? I find it quite the opposite- I wear almost entirely hiking socks these days, and find the thick wool to be like walking on puppies.

In theory yes. My anecdotes are not data, but I am seeing a bit of this now as I am seeing grandparents pass. The common theme is that the houses haven't so much as a coat of paint in 20 years, they are outdated and not in great condit

Not all roles require the same level of audit. In general for simplicity, an entire firm will use one system that just applies the same policies for everyone, but a dev building a web interface for an internal risk tool will not be under th
