I have a better solution - ask a candidate to design a system that he helped design and present it. One of the places that I interviewed had me do it. Lot better than asking someone to design twitter or Netflix on the spot.

It totally depends - know rich people who wear understated but expensive clothes with no labels. Also know the ones who like peacocking - flaunting the big Armani/DKNY/GUCCI logos. Most wealthy people IMO don't want to draw a

I disagree, it depends on the subreddit - a subreddit that discusses supplements is by it's very nature going to be populated with snake oilsmen selling remedies or doofuses who believe them. Similarly self-help books. You have provide

Where did you come up with the 100 million number? Shutdowns have been proven to be ineffective - especially the kind they are implementing - which are counterproductive. People running out of food rations.. You don't shut down an en

Amazing article - he probably trained his mind to be focussed for marathon level periods of time, a test match lasted for 3-5 days, and a batsman could bat for an entire day of 8 hours - the scoring rate is really low, to keep your concentr

A good read but a lot of topics in that book apply to google scale companies only. 95% of companies will never reach that scale or deal with those issues.

Lots of "busy" work - meetings, answering questions on slack, constant interruptions. Before you know the day is done.

I went to Tulum, Mexico, early 2000's still a backpacker paradise. There were a few cabs in town, but you needed to walk a lot. One internet cafe in town with decent connectivity, but great coffee! Went back in 2015 and it was complet

What a beautiful read! Unlike now, backpacking was a true adventure - you were on your own, totally cutoff and no one to call if you were in trouble. Now it seems like you've seen everything and that makes travel a lot less exotic tha

No, it does not bother me. I am one of those people who feels happy when something good is happening in other people's lives. That other person who got that job put time into it and achieved it. Good for them. Someone lost a shit ton

200 Billion in crypto wiped out in 24 hrs is bound to cause ripple effects in traditional finance as well. "Crypto has at least started to work its way into the real financial system. Some traditional investors also own crypto; if thei

It is an eternal quandary - make money and promotions not the central theme of your life. Move jobs, when it becomes a soul-sucking promotion oriented culture. I chose this path - am probably poorer than FAANG folk, but I did not trade my s

How the hell do you do that without the owner's permission? And which owner will let that fly? Bastards need to be arrested and sued.

Absolutely agree, had this one therapist for my son who has ADHD, she would listen to all our concerns and not offer a single suggestion. She would just have this blank stare.
