I disagree. Having publicity that reduces the value of a brand is bad. I think the expression was created by publicists who, of course, want more publicity no matter what, because it makes them money.

I can double click on a csv and it opens pretty cleanly in Excel. I don’t use it systematically but I usually eyeball csvs using Excel.

Sweden’s obesity increased from 10% to 20% as their wealth increased. Switzerland from 5% to 20%. My point stands. I’m saying it’s impossible to have high obesity, but that it’s a function of wealth.

It’s a function of wealth. As nations increase their wealth, their obesity goes up. Except for Japan, they seem to have it figured out. But all the Euro nations have also seen obesity spike over the same time period. Just not as much as the

Some applicants don’t have projects they can show. I’d say half have GitHub profiles, but there’s still lots of good programmers at my org who have zero projects they can show to a potential employer. I’m not ready to write them all off, ye

You don’t need to imagine it. 60% of the US is overweight or obese. People have weaknesses and want to compensate. Imagine calling out people below the poverty line for being “weak-willed” that they choose not to work harder or smarter. Peo

It’s a way, and it helps some. I thought about it and discussed with my peers and teams and it seemed useful. I liked it over alternatives like having people write in real time, or submit a portfolio, or so an in depth project. A 15-30 minu

Yes. It seems bizarre to me to apply for a programming job without knowing how to program, but when I just screen based on resumes there’s usually 10% who can’t do basic things like “write pseudocode to reverse a string” or a fizzbuzz loop.

I’ve been coding for 25 years and I’ve never had an interview with a big coding exercise. I did do the triplebyte hour or two hour coding interview. I’m sort of a manager and consider myself close to a senior or so and can program a decent

High P/Es are more of a projection of growth than an expectation of time to pay back. Also, McNealy’s comment isn’t quite applicable because stocks aren’t bonds. There’s an inherent value to the ongoing operation beyond just paying the

One year is literally the term for long term capital gains. That being said, the period isn’t important. But that the big stocks will likely still be up in the long run.

Buffett wasn’t recommending market timing, he was just recommending feeling good about buying your stocks when they are lower in price.

If you bet on the market and not individual stocks, you’ll fair better. Find any 10 year periods where the s&p had crappy returns. The market doesn’t stay irrational, but specific sections can.

This is about the whole market, not individual stocks. This is Buffett’s point. When the market loses $1T in a day, it will definitely come back if you have a long term horizon. Just like if you bought nasdaq after the 2000 crash.

Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia may be long term duds? Certainly there are some, but the article talks about the Nasdaq100. The odds of all of them sucking and being down in a year are pretty slim.

Definitely. It’s super common. It’s not really sought out either. I understand the penalty is basically “you won’t be ever to come back” and they really only find you if you try to travel internationally or get picked up for something else.

To clarify, Namibia seems beautiful and is a great country. I just meant that the demand levels are different and that the wealth levels are very different between the two countries. I’d love to visit Namibia. And I expect western tourists

It sucks for Namibia, but I think it’s logical since there are probably way more people in Namibia wanting to visit Canada than people in Canada wanting to visit Namibia. I remember a story from many years ago where an Indian coworker was c

I don’t think it’s circular as things become pervasive not because of slippery slope of just a few cameras and then adding more, but because the tech in those cameras became cheap from other trends. In that cameras aren’t cheap inherently,

> It couldn't hurt, but that isn't the misunderstanding I'm worried about. I think lots of warnings lead to people ignoring the warnings. So it could hurt by making people less aware of other warnings.

Good luck selling this to a foreign (or domestic) government. It doesn’t seem valuable to me, but who knows, maybe someone finds it worth payout.

Crowdstrike doesn’t test their releases. It’s like paying a licensed insect exterminator that uses random chemicals. They tell you this and you hand over the keys anyways.

Hospitals shouldn’t use vendors like this. They need to be able to audit and understand what they’re doing and not allow. Hospitals have CIOs and CMIOs and CHIOs to make these kinds of decisions.
