I know a couple folks who did well after bootcamps, but they already knew how to code and were in analytical roles beforehand. I suspect that they probably could have gotten the jobs on their own eventually, but the bootcamp probably didn&#

Some people who were previously unremarkable are now remarkable like a whole slew of social media influencers and YouTubers. My favorite YouTuber has a normal unremarkable job but makes silly nail art videos with millions of views. There&#x

From what I've seen some end up in very non-traditional housing situations abroad or in the states like one woman lives in a train car. The ones who blog about it also pick up side jobs (blogs, gig jobs, light freelancing) to make up a

I think it can be a disservice to apply to so few schools on the presumption that you won't get aid or scholarships. I applied to only 3 schools and still slightly regret not applying to more, since I thought 2 of schools were going to

But should America for example support Nokia and Ericsson which are not American. Most of the major American telecom equipment companies were sold off to European companies after the telecom bubble burst.

Are there any good articles on how they were making the SOE's compete against each other. It seems like every province seems to prop it's own competing SOE in certain industries, but I always wondered if they act together or if th

The original sanction charge on Huawei was for selling American equipment to Iran, and all the financial transactions related to hiding that. Stealing trade secrets and patent infringement is usually fine and a block on specific products an

That's the ethical way to do it. If you give a business everything they ask for in requirements, the end result is probably going to be absurdly complicated for anyone to edit even with documentation, training, and open code.

An added note to this, I've been a part of communities that have been sold, and a lot of them fell apart after the charismatic and friendly founder that brought everyone together transitions away. So if you're thinking about doing

Many private companies also have high fee funds in their investment fund options and pensions. A lot of people running these things aren't always aware of all the options they could be taking because they only meet with sales people.

The sales people selling the investments can be very charming and convincing that they are much better than other companies. Plus a lot of the low cost options are very hands off so you don't have someone on the low-fee side arguing

I think people are getting spoiled by getting what they asked for. People have been asking for a-la-carte cable for years (instead of the massively expensive bundle deals where you only want N channels out of 2000), and that's basicall
