Thanks! That's loosely the plan. I'm hoping to get there one day, but knowing myself I would always be working on something, so the retire early part doesn't really apply to me. After work I tend to pick up other stuff, li

The fed can use the rate to effectively decrease the cost of borrowing money. The rational there is if economic activity is slowing, you decrease the cost of spending money. The rate is usually dropped when economic activity slows, and sh

I'm relatively young, so I wasn't responsible for expenses when the last crash happened. I had the great fortune of having only 1-2 months of savings early in my career when the startup I was working for went under. I was a soft

This is the exact feeling that I have had recently when trying to cut the phone addiction. I deleted all games and social networks from my phone, then turned it to black and white. It's still tough since I can just go to reddit or ha

I've seen many people recommend fast.ai, and while I have not completed the course, the few lessons I did work through were very well made and I really learned a lot. Also, totally free. Check them out.

I'm a software engineer with ~3 years of experience. I also want professional growth. Partially because I enjoy learning and growing my technical skills, partially because I want to move into more leadership roles, but a huge part of

That's what you think being more tuned in. Most of the people I talk to seem to think it's right around the corner. I think that's because Elon Musk does a good job of making everyone hear him say it's nearly there. If

So while I totally agree with this, I have some questions: First off, do you think Agile is better than Waterfall? I personally think that it delivers a product faster, but I'm not sure if it actually has a macro improvement on the jo

This seems really interesting, and it obviously is important to be done. Something to note is that you'll likely need to buy up land to make sure it is secure when trees are planted. If you plan to buy swathes of land out of country,

This makes a lot of sense, and is actually seen a lot in the wild. Having control feels good for us, and I would argue that's probably why there is such a visceral response to drunk drivers---they're not in control. You can empa

Bullshitting is really a booming business. Regardless of what your views are on him, when you juxtapose what the US president says and what is real, he's a bullshitter.
