Plenty of dumb people bullshit and plenty of smart people don’t. I saw another comment here I agree with - your intelligence probably correlates with the quality of bullshit, assuming equal motivation.

Because the economy isn’t “bad” like in previous recessions. Generally lots of people are unemployed because of government mandates not to work, not because businesses are experiencing lack of demand. When the shelter orders are lifted, muc

Wow! 14 weeks of pay is freaking amazing. Add the other stuff on and...takes the sting out quite a bit. Bravo Airbnb.

Then you’ve only encountered shitty interviewers. The point isn’t if you know some syntax, that can be easily taught / googled. The point is how you think about the problem. In the case of percent change in MAU, you don’t need to know

This is great OP. I shared with my SO who also struggles with anger. I thought a lot of this mirrored things she has expressed and she could relate. A very different cause for sure but it’s been a long road for her to become aware of the an

Very fluent! Little things I would tweak as American speaker “I’m aware my grammar isn’t perfect”. “But that’s not currently an option” Also “holiday” is a British English term. If you’re speaking to Americans use “vacation”. This doesn’t

The article proposes daily broad testing. I thought that is what governments were shooting for?

I've found that success in life is correlated with how closely you hit on actual "truths" in the world. For example, you join company X on a rocket ship. Your equity value skyrockets - those assets were actually undervalued

OH GOD PUT IT OUT WITH FIRE!! It’s a cool tool but added about 200 pounds to my face. P0 roadmap feature request: flatter the subject, like Instagram does.

This does not surprise me at all. I worked at a company once where the ceo was enamored by Masayoshi (who had also invested in our company). He asked me to help him with a presentation he was going to give to masayoshi as part of some kind

If you are unable to provide a service people paid for, then you give them their money back. It's pretty simple. You can give people an option to leave as credit (e.g., we'll give you $400 of credit instead of a $300 refund) but i

Smart to have hospitals sign longer term contracts for supply now. Sounds like he learned his lesson last time. Also this guy sounds kind of butt hurt about buy American rheteroic. I agree but if you are charging 5x on a commodity vs china,

Idk how Catan can be mentioned as a counter-example. Everytime I play it's exciting for the first half, then a winner becomes clear and it's no longer fun. The article mentions negative feedback loops but...they're not really

Voluntary severance is another option. Give people six weeks pay if they take it, two weeks if they don’t. Coach people in or out.

I actually feel more anxious listening to this song. The low synthesizer in background sounds like something is about to happen.

That’s interesting - I wonder how it actually works, other than some hand wavy military technology? I want to know how it would’ve prevented this social engineering attack

Exactly. Of all people I would expect him to understand what an exponential growth rate means. He clearly does, which means he has his head up his ass on this one.

This! Think of the people you can spread it to unknowingly. This is why I am a young person holed up in their apartment, and starting to work from home until this thing tapers off.

I’m pretty surprised Bloomberg is surprised. People don’t just vote for presidents willy nilly (trump being an exception). You need to build trust and trust takes time, not money. Biden has built a brand over the last 12 years. Sanders has

I personally don’t find TV a time waster. If you enjoy it, as I do, then do it, guilt-free. However if you find yourself addicted ie you want to do other things but you keep getting “sucked in” then by all means stop - it will have a notice

I don’t think you are looking at full picture. Nash equilibrium just means any lower margins would be unsustainable. In the case of mattresses, while gross margin is higher than other industries, the volume is MUCH lower. So the overall pr

There’s two main points in article: 1) berskhire owns clayton homes which takes advantage of poor people with high fees. Therefore it is hypocritical for Charlie to accuse a pharma company of taking advantage of people. 2) some of berskhire
