My local telco built a dialup. This wasn’t a monopoly, it increased competition because now there were two options. This shall not pass.

I found the conclusion to be misleading, based on this “ The researchers split their study participants into two groups — those who reported having had sex with someone of the same sex, and those who didn’t. ” So apparently you are gay if y

My guess is that Netflix was still trying to establish itself. Many investors probably were skeptical to invest in Netflix so they wanted to create something more splashy to engage people. At some point Netflix went from a niche service to

I don’t think it matters if 100% is vaccinated. What matters is new cases and deaths. As long as those are steady or going up we’re going to be masking and social distancing until the end of time. Once it goes down and stays down, that’s

I don’t think that was the point. The point was better healthcare doesn’t necessarily translate to more revenue. Healthcare is weird like that - you get paid a flat fee for visits. There might be an argument to be made that better prescri

One thing to call out is that if you buy your own router, you’re going to have a bad time getting internet connectivity issues fixed. Unless there is an outage in your area, your ISP will just blame your router. So it may be worth the extr

If you are YouTube, would you rather show joe schmo visitor a suggestion for accordion covers or a Cardi B video? Odds are they’re more likely to watch (and repeat watch) and share the latter. So it’s a bit of a chicken and egg problem. Un

This is why fintechs have to have strong legal & compliance teams, especially when you reach a certain size. This reminds me of their debacle where they launched a checking product with a high interest rate and promising it was backed b

Blah blah blah. There are still a lot of people and companies based in Silicon Valley. If anything Silicon Valley will die a slow death, and that won’t be clear until after the covid dust settles. For now people are still paying absurd amo

One of her favorite quotes is, in part, "Life is short. Take care of the ones you love." It seems to contradict one of her main points, which is that work always ended up coming first (otherwise, they'd run out of money, a c

As a former MC myself, I would add another point why people hire MC firms - Political cover. You have an urgent problem, your stakeholders want change now, but you can get people off your back if you hire McKinsey. Or, you know what you wan

I never got yelled at in consulting, and honestly if the client is upset that’s the partner’s fault. Most of the time there wasn’t a lot of pushback because the partner knew what the client cared about. The exception was PE firms who would

He’s building a “generational” company for his heirs and inve-erhem sorry, “society”. Aren’t you motivated by that alone? If not, when was the last time you worked obscene hours for something? Because if you haven’t, you clearly don’t give

I don’t think it’s necessarily low self esteem. Some people just like to hear others opinions, and then have a gut reaction if they agree or not. And like Someone else said, some people may feel good about themselves but feel a little insec

I never call the “delivery number” since I became aware of this sham. But most people probably don’t, so good to keep talking about it. I’d encourage you to do the same and tell your friends too.

"All residents in the nursing-home receive chronic vitamin D supplementation with regular maintenance boluses (single oral dose of 80,000 IU vitamin D3 every 2–3 months)" Holy shit that's a lot of vitamin D

Sure. If I rented, my job was secure, and all of my friends are packing, of course I would take a free $10k to move somewhere else for a year. The pandemic is probably going to take at least that long to wind out. I can always just move b

Harvard students are primarily interested in companies with reputable names? What a shocker. Students who go to a selective school, often want to go to selective companies and continue to build their “brand” to maximize their success (or at

I work in performance marketing, and I think the way to think about this is not “there’s fraud! We can’t trust anything!” Rather, it’s how much is fraudulent. For example, if I spend $1m and $10k was fraud clicks, I might be ok with that. S

Never did I thought I'd be reading an article on people growing brains specifically. If these scientists let it keep growing, would it develop into a full brain? I thought if anything we'd be growing full organs like hearts and k

Anyone know what was in it for Terry from the start? It sounded like access and favor from Trump, but the trade war still happened and he’s still saying there’s going to be a LCD factory to this day.

Holy cow that feedback. It’s both great and awful at the same time. Great in that it was written as objectively as possible and concrete. Awful as in it was too long and he clearly put too much time in to it relative to how much the other g

You’d be surprised. There is a surge of demand away from metro areas eg upstate NY, Tahoe, etc. I don’t get it. The pandemic will get under control, and people will go back to offices. Will employers require 5x per week in office, or 2-3x p

Lol, love this movie. Btw did anyone ever say a side project had to be coding? Maybe you like to paint, or do dances on Tiktok, or read mystery thrillers.
