Just that tagline alone “ But America’s champion philanthropist operates like a middle-class donor” reeks of condescension. Are there similar articles for large grant male philanthropists? Are there similar articles for other rich ladies w

Sorry this is BS and will lead to bad hires. Regardless of the size of the org you need 45 mins to get good signal. 20 minutes might work for a “what questions do you have” sell call. But any company making hiring calls on this model, that’

Yeah I’ve been ghosted by Stripe twice after very positive “this is great we’ll set up next steps” meetings. One of which was a 1:1 with the CTO, really positive stuff. Few days later I emailed a thanks and “would like to talk about next st

We live in Seattle, right under the flight path for our major airport. I hate it, its annoying enough to wake me up at times; one benefit of the early pandemic was much-reduced air traffic. There are trains a few miles away that are fairly

It states a range of 545km US, which is about 340mi, which is about the same as the 326 of the current Y. Is this really new or just incremental range gains from the new chassis battery stuff?

Its improved a lot. Ubuntu 21.04 is really great and runs very well on my Dell XPS 13. However, there are constant issues which make it tough for daily use. For example, Bluetooth is really flaky still. If I try to connect headphones th

And Australia? And multiple state and federal fires in the US? Maybe there is a common underlying cause that isn't just "mismanagement"?

I totally get the draw here but I think it is irrational depending on your goals: 1. Having enough supplies to get through a few months of uncertainty w/o needing the outside world. This makes sense to me: natural disaster, a bigger-b

Right it didn’t go down 5.4% it went down 50. Inflation is a measure of buying power. The buying power of Bitcoin went down 30% in A DAY not long ago. Because of a tweet. I’ll take the USD, thanks. Also, how do you know what people of Zimba

A price on carbon is a part of the solution but not sufficient at this point, so it’s not the “best”. It’s too late and the price would have to be too high ($100s per ton) to be a main driver. We squandered those opportunities long ago. It

And to replace that with clean energy is that much harder with energy intensive dispersed communities. Cities are far more energy and resource efficient. It’s more than cars and energy, its water, sewer, transit, land use, ecological impa

It helps because some of those people you are warning have jobs with actual consequences if infection, or live with people that do. Like your sons teachers. You go get tested so you can tell them “false alarm it’s all good”.

I wish this was true. I’ve been looking for a great Windows laptop. The options aren’t good except Dell XPS which has massive quality issues. I’m shocked how bad the selection is.
