I’ve struggled for a long time with paper scraps to keep track of what I’ve been doing and read about the following alias to add in your .bashrc

`alias did="vim +'normal Go' +'r!date' ~/did.txt"`

Then type `did` in your terminal and write what you just did.

More generally, you can get a great boost of productivity by mastering your text editor. I have a preference for Vim, but have nothing against emacs.

You could have a Github portfolio that has one or two personal projects that demonstrates a proficiency in the language/framework needed at the company you're applying?

I've interviewed plenty of people in SF - candidates from top tier universities like MIT. And have passed on them. They simply lacked a proficiency in doing the basics (Rails in this case).

There's so many opportunity to be had by just showing very specific proficiencies with a personal project.

Skip all of the hoops you've outlined above, because they never matter anyway. A majority of candidates never have a portfolio, it's the biggest opportunity that is missed by most.
I had the same experience - radio silence.
It reminds me a bit of the Challenger disaster, which was probably the biggest news headline of my childhood. 7 people died. More people die in a typical mass shooting, but we remember Challenger because it was a really big deal with the first civilian in space, and so everyone was watching the launch and had it blow up in front of them. It's likely that people care about the Titanic because it was supposedly "unsinkable" - if it had been the Carpathia that went down with 1500 people, it might've made headlines for a couple days but we wouldn't be talking about it 106 years later.

Hell, I didn't hear about Doña Paz until today, despite being the largest peacetime maritime disaster in history and happening just 2 years after Challenger.

“For me, the fact that we were able to build at scale, amid all that craziness, that’s the real accomplishment,” one former engineering executive told me. “Just think about it: We designed a car that is so simple and elegant you can build it in a tent. You can build it when your CEO is melting down. You can build it when everyone is quitting or getting fired. That’s a real accomplishment. That’s amazing.”

Well, coal is mostly carbon and its atomic radius is around 70pm. Converting miles to metric and calculating based on that, we can assume at minimum 72 liters of coal was burned, but not more than the total volume of earth.

I believe we might be thinking about different project sizes here. I'm not speaking about building a single-family home.

The complexities of construction projects arise at a much larger project volume compared to software projects. The equivalence to a single-family home (which agreeably bears considerable material costs, and already requires a couple of people to build) might be a simple RoR application. Very straightforward, and to some extend every professional agrees on how to execute on that.

But if you accept a certain multiplicator in project costs (say, two orders of magnitude) before you compare a construction project to a software project, you will notice a lot of challenges commonly attributed to software projects.
I don't get it. This article and Reddit post is very misguided.

Why are people upset that you're sending data to Microsoft if you enable the settings in Windows that specifically allow Microsoft to collect this data?

Maybe I'm biased since I run Windows 10 Pro but you can simply turn off activity history and set your diagnostic settings to basic. Now your non-anonymous data won't be sent to MS (unless they are secretly sending it against your will which is a totally different topic than this article).

I don't even have a "privacy dashboard" that this article and the Reddit post speaks of because I log into Windows with a local Windows username, not a Microsoft Live account. If you're concerned about privacy, why would you login to your OS using a Microsoft Live account?

This really sounds like people using the default settings without looking into protecting their privacy then saying Windows is evil because they didn't check into the settings of their operating system.

In other words:

1. Use a local Windows login, not MS Live

2. Set your diagnostic data to basic

3. Disable activity history

Also as a bonus step, if a big content update happens in the future and it introduces features that sounds like it's an invitation to be spied on, double check your settings after patching to make sure they're disabled.

It is lame that telemetry exists in the first place, and don't get me wrong, I hate things like being forced to patch / reboot for MS updates but if you volunteer to use Windows, it's the price we have to pay for the time being.
It's not merely fake comments. It's fake comments used by a small group of people to enrich themselves at the expense of everyone else.

I just spent 3 months in London, and it's crazy how Monzo seems to have taken the market. Almost everybody seems to be paying with a Monzo card, regardless of age.

Asking around, I consistently heard that Monzo's competitors like Revolut are going to be a future case study in scaling before great product/market fit. I don't know how many people have Revolut accounts, but nobody seems to be using their cards in public.

Little details really add up. For instance, Revolut didn't have contactless support for a while, which meant people could not use it on the Tube. Monzo made their cards pink, which creates a physical network effect.

The US seems to have a wave of startups trying to reinvent checking accounts right now. I wonder which, if any, will take the market:

- Varo (https://varomoney.com) - Product and brand don't look very polished and they haven't launched Android support, but they are doing the "hard thing" of getting a bank charter (rather than having a partner bank, like all of the others).

- Robinhood (https://robinhood.com) - Already offers investment products, so they can get a lot of users quickly. Unclear how good the product will be. (For example - can they support contactless payments with a clear card?)

- Chime (https://chimebank.com) - Seems to have the most mature and polished product. The killer feature they advertise is "get direct deposits faster", which doesn't seem world-changing to me.

My benchmark is Charles Schwab Bank, which offers no fees on any ATM, anywhere. It's what many millennials that I know use. But, it's a bad product and not very user-friendly. Simple tried to reinvent banking, but they never seemed to go beyond polishing the UI. I'm curious to see what the future holds, particularly as some foreign banks expand to the USA!

I never understood the LV housing market. There is literally land in all directions as far as the eye can see. If people want to live there, a house can certainly be built.
It's atypical but I think it provides a completely different model about how to think about college. A lot of parents are stressing out about how to pay for college and for good reason, but I think you can derive 80% of the value of going to college for 20% of the cost.

For one: I don't think most families can pay the extra fees associated w/ going to an out of state school. Second: most states have at least one solid state school that has a relatively high acceptance rate for residents, third: students and parents really need to have frank discussions about the economic potential of a degree. Fourth: Students and parents should strongly consider a "half and half" between community college and a state school to complete their degree.

At the end of the day, a lot of parents are paying for prestige, but if you can get the right degree and internship experience I don't think where you went to school is weighted as heavily.

I'm fortunate to be in software (although I did do market research before declaring), I doubt anyone who's read my resume has heard of the school I went to, but a critical internship really opened up the doors for me and I've had opportunities to interview at some of the biggest companies in the world. You gotta think outside the box.

Some years ago I run into a e-mail loop.

An e-mail request is sent to a marketing e-mail service. For a specific e-mail notification, we do not receive a confirmation from the marketing e-mail service that the e-mail reached the recipient. So our service re-sends the e-mail.

This goes on for several days. It turned out a filter did not let the notification reach our end. By the time we figured it out, someone received thousands of the same marketing e-mail.

That's not equivalent C code - because there is no equivalent C code.

typeof(A) C = A + B;

It's fairly obvious that Ajit Pai knew exactly what was happening, and he acted in bad faith by letting it happen.

My bet is that he signed off on things that he knew to be false, and that he exhibited willful negligence. In the process, he has likely acted unlawfully. His ultimate conviction might be fraud... hard to tell at this point until the FBI digs through everything.

Also consumer checking accounts aren’t really that important to bigger banks or even bigger credit unions. Banks own a large portion of property that doesn’t fall into a checking account. For instance if you own a home and pay a mortgage to Wells Fargo, they control a far greater amount of your wealth than whoever you bank with.

Also, business banking and loans in general will never be something that happens on an Robinhood. At least not in this generation. These types of entities require a man in a suit in an office.

Assuming the transfer from the checking account to the brokerage account is instant, this can give you a lot more liquidity to your stocks. Traditionally, I have to set aside few thousand dollars that I'm absolutely sure I won't need anytime soon, transfer it to a brokerage account, wait few days, remember to check if then money is in, buy the stock, then reverse the process to sell the stock. The round trip of money in checking account to owning a stock took few days but now it can be done under a minute for free.

Investing day to day with the money in your checking account is probably not a recommended personal finance practice but I definitely have more money in my checking account than I probably need this month because moving money is too painful.

Well 2001 was before trading bots for one thing, so most stocks had a daily heartbeat that was easy to follow. Several days a week the volatility on AAPL was easily +/- 1% each day, so we just bought low and sold high. I averaged 2% per day roughly 4 out of 5 days per week, losing 2-5% on the occasional day I was wrong. Also it was easy to predict when people would sell their stock on Fridays before 3 day weekends for example, so we'd sell Thursday afternoon or whatever.

Also we bought right after the dot bomb happened on 9/29/2000 when most all the tech stocks fell by half or more in one day, so there was a constant upward trend where people wanted to start gambling in stocks again over the next year:

https://money.cnn.com/2000/09/29/markets/techwrap/

You can see the drop here, I can't figure out how to share, but enter something like 9/28/2000 through 9/30/2000 in the date range:

You have to remember that these events aren't random. I personally feel that they're controlled by whoever holds the purse strings, so a handful of extremely wealthy illuminati were getting nervous towards the end of the dot com and housing bubbles and made the call to pull the plug so they could re-buy after everything crashed (see: It's a Wonderful Life).

We're overdue for that with the mobile and web 2.0 bubble. The main difference today is that older folks like me remember the lean times so more startups today have pulled themselves up by their bootstraps and are somewhat immune to these market manipulations vs propped-up brands like pets.com in the 90s. But don't think for a second that crashes (or booms) like these with a 50% move in one day can't happen again.

As long as I'm on my soapbox, I wish that I could dabble in a little machine learning and look for correlations that tend to swing together or oppositely one another. No matter how much the bots tend towards noise, there are still markets that are connected that should be easy to spot. I don't know what else I would try though because I stopped following the market after the housing bubble when people started trading foreign currency and Bitcoin etc. I could have bought $20,000 worth of bitcoin when it was $10 so it's all just monopoly money to me now. I feel that chasing easy money is maybe distracting us from real human progress. But what do I know, I'm just the poor sap stuck in the universe where I never made it big hahah.

Thanks for providing a great example of useful getters. If you're computing a derived property that depends strictly on the data at hand and its attributes, getters are useful. When designing code, follow the Getter Idempotency Principle:

* Given a reference to a data entity, invoking a getter on the data should always return the same result, no matter how many times it is invoked, no matter how the rest of the program or world state evolve.

There are others situations. In those situations explicit code is preferable:

* Change an attribute of a data. Do not use a setter, period. Create a data copy with the attribute changed instead. Even GUI toolkits nowadays are using immutable data patterns with great success, see React.

* Use a data entity as a facade for reading data from a 3rd party API. Instead of using an object that pretends to be data but isn't via a heavy getter, use the 3rd party API explicitly to instantiate your immutable data graph.

* Use a data entity as a facade for updating a 3rd party API. Don't use a setter, instead create an updated copy of your data, then explicitly invoke the 3rd party API with the updated data copy.

> When the return is higher, the risk must have gone up too, somehow.

I want to emphasize this point. You are never* getting returns for free, you are getting paid to take on some risk. If someone is trying to sell you "risk-free" returns that are higher than widely-known market rates, they are lying to you by downplaying, omitting or obfuscating the risk associated with those returns, and warning bells should be going off in your head. Proceed with caution.

* You can of course find better risk-adjusted returns than the market by way of information asymmetry in your favor. Suffice it to say that is not the case with a consumer financial instrument aimed at "the masses" (not high net worth individuals).
