The way Google did it was that you listed where you were going and what dates and they did some sort of magical formula to figure out your max allowable costs for the trip. They were always well above the minimum costs. For every $2 below t

Until I got to the numbers I assumed that Stripe's remote percentage stayed relatively stable as other firms moved around. And I guess the numbers bear that out. If Stripe went from 20% -> 40% and similar companies went from 15% -&g

I came here because of that. I suspect it's mislabeled, since it looks like it would match the numbers if the labels at the bottom went low, mid, high instead of low, high, mid. But even more than that, I think the numbers demonstrate

It's doable, but the odds are stacked against you. Most engineers have an "if you build it they will come" mentality. And it's important to know that nothing could be further from the truth. The make or break line will b

Generally I've seen this happen when you've contracted to do business in some form and the other side reneges on it in some way. Like you ordered something online and it never ships. We were going to get a large water purifier fro

And to be fair, yes, asking why I flunked out is a perfectly valid question, even after 20 years. The reason I give is that I had some family issues that required me take a break. During that time I started working in tech, and after a few
