This piece is bullshit “RSUs are often considered less preferable to grantees since they remove control over when you owe tax.” Who the fuck cares when you pay tax? A small % of people will have enough value to worry about that. The vast ma

This is a great point, never thought of it that way When it was Ms. Trauss’s turn to speak, she argued that the entire notion of public comment on new construction was inherently flawed, because the beneficiaries — the people who would even

I mean interviewing sucks yes. And don’t spend too long on take home work, no more than what you’d expect to put into a normal interview at that stage eg if it’s a screen no more than 1 hr if it’s later no more than a few.

Holy shit did not see that coming. Was sure it was some hackers out looking to sell info on dark web. Chinese government gives it a whole different motivation.

Reading a lot of comments here people have a very wide range of what they try to cover and I think it’s unnecessary on an every week basis. Let’s start with the basics. Your manager’s number one job is to unblock your success. Whatever the

Not sure what big deal is. You learn somewhere along the way that you check for null values with “is” vs “=“. Done, write it on a sticky note if you need, and move on. “Why isn’t it consistent??” - well a lot of systems have a lot of bat sh

Mint is vastly under capitalizing on its spending data. The recs are all generic / not personalized. Not like “hey you spent $10k on groceries, you could’ve gotten $300 back with amex blue cash everyday. Sign up now and earn a $150 wel

YAMC? (Yet another mint copy?). There are a lot of apps out there doing pretty much same thing as mint - can you give us a preview of how your app will be different?

Great. So the mind control fluoride crazies were (kind of) right all along.

Wow. This article (or other equivalent) needs to be taught in every high school.

Great business story. They quickly capitalized on a trend (tuft and needle started 2 years before), pumped it up with great marketing and distribution, and now are making their exit before a recession. Would. Not. Buy.

I took a happiness course once. It said that instead of chasing status, we should chase flow. The idea being status is dependent on what others think, which is inherently unstable, while flow is joy for yourself. There’s a book I read, can’

...duh? They just had WeWork blow up in their face and naturally they're going to pump the brakes. There were probably a lot of in-process deals going on. Coming from someone who worked in a company that received Softbank investment,

I used to work for a fintech like LendingClub. First you absolutely need a license. You can’t just go making consumer loans without the proper license to do so. If that wasn’t the case there would be rampant abuse / predatory schemes a

Wow I felt increasing anxiety / claustrophobia as I scrolled deeper and deeper. I can’t imagine what it was like for those two in that tiny sub. A mix of that and elation/excitement at pushing the frontier of man forward

I had an interview like that. I’m a marketer and my background is clearly B2C, and a hiring manager reached out about a B2B role. We chatted, had a fine conversation, then I had an hour “test” on lead scoring. I wasn't passed on, and t

Also remember just because someone is smart doesn’t mean they can code. The most lopsided class in college I took was a computer programming one - half the kids got a reasonably easy “A” and half got very hard “C”s, even though everyone was

People are just waking up to dangers of sugar, but too much salt is also not good, increasing blood pressure (see below link). Potassium can offset much of the affects but it’s surprisingly difficult to get even the US recommended amount ev

Ok honest question fellow comment reader - what are you going to do about it? This is the 5th or 6th article I’ve seen on this transaction, with hundreds of comments each. Ethos Capital does not give 2 shits about your comments here. Are yo

Not surprising. San Francisco seems to vote more owner friendly vs Oakland which votes more renter friendly. For SF I thought the recent proposition E was encouraging. It reduced zoning requirements on public zoned land for affordable hous

One cannot simply compare total number of downloads (Tiktok) to number of monthly active users (Instagram) to make assertion that Tiktok may be as big as Instagram.

ACH / writing checks is free through your bank because if it wasn't, you'd bank somewhere else. But there's 0 incentive to give you API access, your usage could skyrocket and it wouldn't be profitable anymore.

The value of a social network is exponentially related to the number of nodes and connections. By putting a paywall up it’s sharply limiting that. What he’s trying to do is admirable but doesn’t make a lot of sense.

Did the author actually get his “secret consumer score”? It says in article he got raw data but there was no “score” at top.

I think we are still a ways from scaling. There is still a real risk of catastrophic failure as they get more real world experience. I think it is going to be quite measured, continuing to slowly roll out to actual people over next 5-10 ye
