You've done a good job explaining how to do foreign exchange and how you can personally buy things in other countries. What happens if you're an international business that uses Bank of Melborne and has to pay vendors in Croatia u

How about real time cross border remittance and settlement? Current fiat approaches require large illiquid reserves, are slow, and not very scalable. It’s also useful for transmitting money long distances when banks won’t do business and yo

I self admittedly have trouble with delegation, and maybe you or someone else on here can help. The problem I have is a lot of my time is spent in meetings. I can certainly throw meeting invites to my reports, but I think to when I was a de

I don't necessarily disagree with your point about the correlation, but there are a few things I'd like to call out. First, why not demo partially complete and/or staged but not deployed work? Tangentially, doing things to ap

The airpods are the only wireless headphones I've owned where this is pretty much a nonissue in practice. It's easy to develop the habit to put the case on the charger when not on the go and to put the headphones in the case when

What makes you attribute that to exchange rate when you can do the same thing with different parts of the US? $800 for a nice house in a nice part of town isn't that far off from prices where I live (Cleveland).

If there's a 5% chance you'll buy a Tesla, the math still adds up to where you're better off spending $100 to test drive it over a free test drive and paying $2100 more for the car.

Whats wrong with taking large outside investment if the terms are favorable? As an extreme example, if I thought my company was worth $40m and someone offered $20m in exchange for 10% of my company I would absolutely take that deal whether

I'm married to someone who has a narcissistic parent. One of the big problems for children is they end up entrapped. They can try to cut them out of their lives completely, but there's immense social pressure to not do that. The r

While I don't necessarily disagree with you on that, and I do think a lot of the hype comes from speculation, its worth noting that many ubiquitous technologies we take for granted started as a narrow niche.

I completely disagree with you. In practice you probably don't need to be that strict about TDD, but if you're being introduced to it with no TDD experience at all then you should absolutely be doing this. Dogmatic TDD is the best
