I think he was right about the self-driving. He doesn't have a moat otherwise, as explained in another comment above; specifically ts not hard for a city to develop, deploy and advertise their own cab-hailing app and only a little har

I think I would agree with you, if I didnt have kids. But two kids under three, and you kind of dont know whats what after a few months. My wife still uses pencil and pen so maybe someone will upvote me for that. Silly me thinking this was

I use Trello, with Todo, doing, deferred and done columns. If you want to go full scrum, great, but that's too much overhead. Signed wife up as well, so it works for both of us. I also have Alexa in four rooms to push my to do list i

Everyone else said the same thing as each other, so i'll try a different tact: For long term success, you need to figure out what YOU want. Whats your ideal, practical situation where you will be happy. Manager; Take a break, lay lo

nice work! at my last company we hooked up word docs with SVN. Its very useful to have a workable format for lawyers to update, and then be able to process everything in the back end.

sounds like you're in NJ too... I feel this way, but maybe less in "crisis" mode. My focus now is working smarter, not longer. (and my kids will have to earn their own college money because thats the only option, I'm n

My thoughts were on this line also... the same reason the crowd was shocked when Lee Sedol made an unexpected move in game 4. [0] Is there any research done to prove/disprove that groupthink is inherently worse compared to a single gen

I was once young and part of a union (an electrical union), and while I didn't directly appreciate it then i see it better now. It allowed me a $15/hr 40hr/wk summer job with overtime available instead of $6 working at an ic

I agree with the parent comment here, the system allows this so I can't fault Walmart on it. What I can fault is them lobbying against/killing labor unions [0]. Labor Unions would fix this problem in a capitalist way. It is inte

Oh wow, thanks for this! Side note: Anyone know why "calendars" don't qualify as part of these packages? I just have a series of data and want to render it on a calendar-graph instead of some typical data rendering... too a

maybe they just see self-driving as D.O.A right now. Or simply, lower priority? Maybe they're just better at keeping it a secret (given the parent comment by the throwaway id). If Amazon can figure out a way to get self-driving car a

Awesome. Now, one more thing: Echo Car. I dunno why, i just want Alexa in my car. She's already in 4 rooms in my house (no wait, 5 including Fire Stick? 7 including the Kindles?), and in my pocket.

I think your assumption on Buffett is wrong. Buffett finds companies that have a significant competitive advantage (moat) and prefers stable, blue chip, traditional brand names, preferably with dividends, that are most likely to just keep

agree 100%. A company doesn't have sufficient controls (or auditing!?) around its financials and doesn't catch rogue payments up to 10s of millions over a TWO YEAR period, and thats only maybe a material event? Could be isloated

With all due respect, you are responsible for how much you get paid. If it behooves you to stay current with trends, capitalize on them, identify bogus ones, then go for it. If you know of a better way, the ball is in your court. I thin
