Write a solid term sheet if you’re going to go through with it. Examples of shenanigans that can be pulled that a term sheet would address: * With an even split, in theory any two employees could declare a 200k dividend and walk away with 5

Numba is actually a pretty interesting project. It allows you to JIT compile a single function with a decorator. Static typing required, and it plays nice with numpy. They’ve also got some interesting stuff going on that lets you interface

Also running an ASUS router, but mine’s on stock firmware. I believe the model number on mine is 68CU. It’s been rock solid for like 5 years now. It meets all of OP’s requirements as far as I can tell. My favorite feature is that it has USB

As someone currently looking for the next step in my career, I can say that the job market right now for skilled labor is much better than it was even 1-2 months ago (at least anecdotally). From June - August I wasn’t getting anyone contact

Two thoughts beyond what’s already been mentioned. Experts tend to have strong networks of people with similar interests and high intelligence. When they don’t know how to approach something they know who to ask. Experts historically tended

So I think the biggest question here is whether, as an employee, Uber/Lyft can set hours for a driver. Some specific implications: * Will we see employees (drivers) get a say in their shifts? An employee can be asked to work a 3AM - 9A

I think the dimension you’re missing is that the a12 also consumes significantly less power. While we don’t know exact numbers, the author speculates it draws about a tenth of the power as the i7.

> "It's often easier to raise $5 million than $1 million... but then you have $4 million that you don't need but spend anyhow" I feel like that quote is more relevant today than ever.

I’d recommend staying away from options. That said, the only riskless options/futures trade is called a “cash and carry” which essentially earns you the risk-free rate and isn’t much better than buying a treasury note. Also with intere

I also have a 16" MBP from work, well spec'd. When using my external monitor, it won't switch to the intel graphics. It's always using the AMD GPU which causes additional power draw + heat. I wish there was some way to f

Surprised not to see this mentioned anywhere. In finance, we don’t look at maximizing total return but rather risk adjusted return. Buying a lotto ticket has amazing total return if you hit the jackpot but really bad risk adjusted return. T

Bitcoin presumes (1) everyone owns a computer (or a smartphone/similar) and (2) everyone has network connectivity all the time. Without these two things, one cannot transact. There are huge swaths of the world where this isn't tru

A few thoughts. The people you see getting insanely rich often have decades of context (and a lot of luck) behind whatever made them insanely rich. I encourage you to not look at just the event that makes someone wealthy but look at the sto

Mutual funds and ETFs are basically that but you get a sliver of like several hundred high quality companies instead of just one. I’d argue those products did more for democratization because they allowed investors with small sums of money

Actually, the last time we had high inflation, the fed kicked interest rates up[1]. So I don’t know if we end up like Zimbabwe. The fed would likely step in well before something bad happened. https://www.stlouisfed.org/publ

Imagine if eBay said why the CEO was fired and then he turns around and starts telling the world where eBay’s bodies are buried. It’s less risky for the company to do it this way.
