   Not sure if I understand your point. Is the idea that it is better for restaurants to not participate in Grubhub, letting customers do pick ups? Given the higher volume provided by Grubhub, I assume using Grubhub is a net positive, isn’t it

   Great article, even better as a template. Can you either (a) let users specify some of this values to generate these blog posts about (company, technology) pairs they want to, or, (b) randomly fill in those values on each refresh? Would all

   Seems like a lot of work and bandwidth for something that could be simply addressed with “are you there?”

   My friends who grew up in the middle east: Remember how our ISPs used to block "adult content". Did that stop anyone? It just lead to repression and a black market. On the bright side, circumventing those blocks as a kid got me in

   Grads get those numbers for FB NY and Google NYC (at least based on what they told our recruiters). levels.fyi seems to corroborate this too: https://www.levels.fyi/salary/Facebook/SE/E3/ https:/&#

    I think he is being underpaid by at least a multiple. I wish we valued teachers like him more. He should be making athlete level money. I support Math for America that provides stipends to smart teachers. It has the same premise: good teach

    I can assure you with 100 percent certainty that Rentech et al will relatively thrive with the trading tax. This tax will reduce liquidity perhaps, make the market pricing inefficient (larger spread). This will hurt mutual funds the most by

    Maybe it's just me, but I use everything * Plain text files to serve as my "ram" while I am working. Jot down ideas, paste snippets of code, results (or paths to results), etc. * Physical notebooks for different projects *

    Adtech is below Wall Street in my admittedly twisted morality spectrum, but above the military industrial complex.

    This is unbelievable to me. Didn’t they learn anything from 4 years ago? It is such a scam; makes working on Wall Street feel cleaner and more moral.

    A lot of good advice here. One thing I would add is replicate a couple of ML papers. It can help develop a lot of intuition about the specific area.

    Only reason I didn't mention GTD is because I read it more than 10 years ago. It was very influential indeed. Probably the most important book I read in the decade before this one.

    But were there not private planes that also shuttled some saudis across the US? And this I believe was before the ban was lifted for private planes. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2003/10/saving-the-saudis-20

    That’s a fair point. And no one should punish family members for what someone in their family did. And it is entirely possible that they were questioned on the few days that they did remain in the US. So why was Clark even needed to “approv

    Unfortunately, not a surprise at all. Recall that Clarke was one of the guys who OKed the return of the bin Laden family on 9/11 [edit: 1]. Clarke had deep connections to royals and rich elites like the bin Ladens See how they targeted
