I switched jobs to Google shop. Google keep is straight trash compared to one note. There is reason Microsoft makes bank of office. Outlook, word, one note and the best excel are miles better than anything else for basic use. Yes I use vim

This might be crazy but I rarely ever take notes... I try and remember stuff. But my train of thought is usually in my position at jobs someone is requesting something from me.. I come from the operations side of things and slowly did more

The problem is if a country leader/government thinks that is worth ending civilization because there is something kind of afterlife that is better.. you hear the argument made about Iran. Not sure if I agree. But MAD breaks down if on

The problem is Intel makes chips for Intel and nobody else. Sure they are starting to open up again.. but there are only so many use cases for x86 cpus. Like literally every single chip that is in shortage is something Intel does not and wi

Why though? Why is Facebook and Whatsapp infrastructure... You will not die if you don't use the internet. You might die without power or water. The problem is the same people that support these laws.. do not want the internet to be tr

The army straight up scares me with nukes... Air force is barely better. The USA navy knows what they are doing with reactors.. at they safe so no clue. But I am not trusting anybody in USA military except for the navy to deal with nuclear

Yea true. But most people I think know the Dow is kinda of BS handpicked list. Where the S&P 500 pretends it is the top public 500 companies in the USA. Just always kinda bother me how they advertise it. Most of them will become useless

S&p 500 is not a simple algorithmic trading system. That is the problem! They have a selection committee.. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%26P_500

The s&p 500 is worse In my opinion. They make it sound like it is the top 500 public companies in the us. Which is not the case. They have group that picks them based on a bunch dumb rules. I like the total stock market index's. If

Depends though. For example if you are say 30. Own a house with decent mortgage cheaper than rent. If you have let's say more invested than your total debt including mortgage not counting hopefully equity in the house. Plus 2-4 years i

This and HSA is nice to have as well. Max that out. Pay out of pocket for everything and keep records of it. When you retire you can pull all that out tax free. Irs says you can can do it. And it is pretax. Any left over money will turn int

I had job where we had an agile coach. First job at of college.. I thought it was the dumbest thing ever and pointless. Then they fire the person and replaced them. It was a complete 180. The new person was so good at just coming in sitting

A few of the older guys have been playing together for probably more than 20 years at least twice month over that time. A round at our club is about 4 hours. So something like over 2500 hours spent between them. One guy was moving and ano

People will laugh but playing golf has increased my social circle by a wide amount. I play golf with different people all the time. I play 2-3 times a week. We have a core group of people 10-12 that always play together. Would join in golf

Though at this point I think you could argue software 'engineers' make way more than on real engineers. At least the upside is much higher. I can not think of any other job where you can have no formal education and have chance of

I feel the lack of non compete is one of the main reasons tech took off in CA. That and the weather. For as much as people say starting a business in CA is hard, and it can be. For tech it is so easy I can just quit my job and start my comp

But how? How can US cloud providers stop this? I am really curious how from my understanding it is not possible with how things are currently setup.

No this is not the right approach at all in my opinion. What stops someone from one of the countries using IP's from another? Teenagers in USA are gonna try and hack your stuff as well... I was one of them in my youth. You can't j
