No, because what you’re measuring is rate of change vs volume. If you made $1 and now you make $2, that is 100% growth in income. If you made $1M and now make $1.2M that is 20% growth, but in absolute dollars you make way more.

I think there’s also something else at play. Most of my friends also don’t believe for a second that a corporation has their best interests at heart. It’s not just promotions — it’s work life balance, it’s top-down decision making and polit

I've been a career data analyst for 12 ish years. At first I didn't get the reference to Tableau, because I use Tableau for about 5-8 hours every day. I've played around with every new charting library since Flex because I&#

A lot of companies will have different payment solutions to deal with fraud and rebill failures. A charge may get rejected by one gateway and then accepted by the second or third.

So a few things jumped out at me: 1) It’s going to be a grind and the fact that you increased from 200 actives to 500 actives is a good sign! 2) 10-20% trial signups conversion isn’t terrible until you’ve found the right type of customer yo

Honestly the MacBook Air is still an amazing value. I just bought another one before they discontinue it. It was just over $1k, keyboard is still the old pseudo mechanical kind before they switched to butterfly, 8gb ram and 512 ssd. 12 hour

This really is only one small segment of the programming population. I really hate superficial shit like this that paints tech workers in a bad light bc most have ordinary jobs and live ordinary lives and aren’t social recluses. I work typi

We used to get Homeroom catered to our company so I'm pretty familiar. Its pretty delicious but also really heavy. I noticed that it was difficult finding something that I'd want to eat on a recurring basis, and that must have bee

- Start with your own network. Reach out to past co-workers and bosses who regarded you highly. They will pay more for known risk. - Do not compromise on your rate. If needed, shorten scope according to budget, but do not get tricked into l

Good. I’m all for better and more eco-friendly forms of transport, but after seeing a number of scooters thrown into the street haphazardly, this could not make me happier. People don’t seem to respect property that isn’t theirs.

I hate these scooters with a passion. People litter them all over, I even saw one tossed into the street.

It also means your destiny is in your manager's hands, which can be unfair if you end up with a bad manager, or several new ones. And unfortunately at Amazon, this is very common (current employee here).

This was the graph api that enabled companies like Zynga to grow virally. You used to be able to do searches on Facebook like "photos taken by friends of _____" and you could easily stalk them without being friends with them. Toda

Amazon Prime LTV is on the order of thousands of dollars per member. If they can convert new customers to Prime for ~$100 that is pretty cheap. Of course, media is a hit driven business, so they would have to blend the cost of all the shows

Very similar to my use case. My parents would have a glass of wine with their dinner every night. My wife enjoys the same. I don't like wine or beer because I get a headache and it doesn't really ease stress. Smoking (via vaporize

Looks like a great tool. I have a Shopify site that has a large amount of products. I've had to build a lot of backend tech to manage all the syncing of the products with the API. Making sure the products are updated with the right inf

The difference between aerospace and computing is that aerospace is heavily materials dependent. Getting a bad pixel in a monitor is rare but when it happens it’s not catastrophic. When you’re producing a ton of parts you have to also maint

I had read a lot about their synthetic process in reproducing heme, which gives meat the iron-y taste. They also had some marketing videos about how they introduce fat, because real chuck has different degrees of leanness. So I was expecti

I’m a meat-eater but my wife is vegan. We’ve been following Impossible Foods for some time and got to finally try one of their burgers last month. As a meat eater who is vegan at home, I think it’s a decent alternative compared to other veg

This is pretty fascinating. I've been mulling a change in careers bc I believe over the next 20 years this will become a massive industry. Do you see GM Cruise hitting their 2019 goals? How close are they to producing ~1k - 10k cars wi

What you are describing is essentially In App Payments in Free-to-Play mobile games. I buy bag of gems for $10, I can use gems on rare cards to continue playing and level up. The common criticism of that business model is that the returns
