Martin Shkreli said $100k is not enough money to start investing, you can't do anything with such a low amount. The reason for that is because investing is competitive, you have to make smart decisions. To make smart decisions you have

I've been reading Modern C too. I don't know C well yet, but can say that the book is very raw and in dire need of heavy editing. It seems that it will officialy be released in September via publisher, so hopefully this will impro

Books for general audience are filled with light content. That's just the way things are nowadays. It is not going to change. Any self help, any book about basics of something is going to have massive amounts of filler. I remember list

I remember internet cafes in Russia back in 2004. I was 11 years old at the time and was a common visitor. My father dropped me off at one of these cafes for an hour one time and I ended up playing GTA 2 the whole time. That's how I wa

Hey can I buy the book through you? My card gets rejected, but I know my card is fine, it's the payment service issue. Yesterday I sent an email and a tweet[0] to the author, but he didn't reply. Basically, I want to pay you £36,

The point of cussing is to add emotional color. Remember that and don't judge people who cuss in a cool way. They don't judge you for being dry or uptight. As an example of how useful cussing can be, imagine that you want to criti

I hink you are wrong to blame cussing here, it's mostly about emotions. If you were cussing from a place of frustration or complaining, then of course it would make people feel worse. Even without cussing. But if it helps you think mor

Yeah. When you don't feel close and safe, it's bad, it means there is a problem. It means there is no trust and it is going to slow everybody down, make less intelligent and efficient, and the company is going to lose money.

This is bad way to curse, I don't like it and think it is malicious to the environment because it is stifled. I mean bold loud cursing with swag, kind of like giving a motivational talk. Mumbling stuff to yourself is cringy. My definit

The idea is that if everything is highlighted then your brain adapts and stops paying as much attention to highlighted elements. Many colorschemes use too much colors. It is not uncommon to have one line be highlighted with red because of a

I can see it working this way. I think there are still boundaries though, like you have to be hygenienic and not too extreme. I don't think a woman can dress too skimpy for a business meeting unless she is a stripper or a porn actress
