I think WFH continues until a company misses financial numbers for a quarter, or a competitor brings their people back into the office, or performance slips. This won't last beyond that.

I agree with this "bubble of association" idea, and it doesn't have to start out political. Its just easier than ever to surround yourself with people like you. We have all kinds of segregation in who we live near, and who we

I find the HN attitude to cryptocurrency to be fascinating. This is the site where I first learned about Bitcoin in 2011. At the time it was treated enthusiastically. People would "Show HN" projects they made that used BTC, people

I think the challenge here is the government is probably offering better terms than can be expected from Buffet. If someone is offering me free money, and someone will give me money if I give them control of my company guess which one I&#x2

Not the author, but I have experience with this. For me it takes about a week of slugishness before my body adjusts. Once I'm adapted, my performance is actually better. This goes for heavy weights, low weight/high rep weights, an

not a crazy prediction. My prediction: Amazon. I have a few pairs of their branded shoes. Simple, cheap, effective. People will eventually realize the newest neat-o feature in the latest shoes are not that big a deal.

I've considered more candles in the evening. How long before bedtime do you switch to candles? do you use them in multiple rooms? Obviously it wouldn't make sense to use a computer by candle light, but what activities are you able

I'm glad this exists. When I had my kids I worked white collar jobs for large wealthy corporations, and I got exactly zero days each time. This attitude change is a step in the right direction. The problem is the people who in my opini

I've heard this term for 20+ years and never questioned it until just now. I think the "to the right" part is meant to convey that profits going up is not just a one time thing, but something that has, or will be happening co

I know very little about economics, but If there is no net injection into the market, why did the Fed's balance sheet start to expand at the same time? Are they separate things and this is a coincidence? https://www.federalr

it looks to me like they buried the lede in the last paragraph. 'relationship “between an algorithm’s performance and the data used to train it,”' To solve this problem they should look at the relationship between the number of pi

Nothin here is remarkable, you could even get these from the CSPs websites. What is remarkable (unfortunately) is that a large enterprise is going to this effort to optimize their cloud architecture. Far too many enterprises move to the clo

I think from the terminology they use they they are on GCP, where they sell their preemptible instances at 80% off the normal cost. The numbers are right, the language is a bit off.

I've had similar results, and for me it had to do with sugars. By avoiding sugars and eating more fats my mood improved.

Sit in silence. I guess it's kinda meditation, but I just like to sit in silence. Sometimes its 5 minutes, sometimes it's 2 hours. I always feel happier and more relaxed afterwards. My guess is what's happening behind the sce

What is your alternate solution? Is it to give up on hiring remote workers and stick to local hires, or to use a more formal process (like the offshoring companies) or something else?

I did a night school MBA in my 20s (paid for by my employer). Nothing prestigious, nothing particularly hard. My undergrad was in CS, so it was a lot of classes I had never had. I had no idea what the difference between accounting and finan

I worked at an organization that had a similar declaration. Here's how it played out: 1. Everyone is super excited for other teams to share their data 2. Everyone wants an exception from sharing their own data because it's too har

I agree with this, plus another factor that I rarely hear discussed is the lifecycle of electric cars. If Elon is to be believed, electric cars should have a useable lifespan about 5 times longer than ICE. Are the traditional automakers pre

Maybe read their code and it's associated comments would help you? One of the benefits of using notebooks over a traditional IDE is that code is segmented into blocks. For me it makes it easier to read. it's like "ok, this ce

A few years ago my finance class had a homework assignment which was to calculate the interest rate you were paying for this "service". It was a good assignment, because there is no "right" answer, because it depends how

Could there be negative unintended consequences here? If someone else sells your product cheaper than you do on Amazon, could this be used to remove them and keep prices higher?

What I didn't get from the article is a "so what". Why does this matter? Or maybe they did explain why it matters, and I just don't have enough knowledge to understand.

That's a good analogy, because over a 10-20 year time horizon it turned out to be a bargain, but over 1-2 year time horizon it was WAY overvalued.

A question I had when I started learning about PoS that isn't addressed here is "how much interest can I earn per year". The answer is it depends on how many people stake, and the numbers aren't finalized yet, but estima
