Is it really. I'd love to see the data. You see, I find it incredibly unlikely you can flatly correlate IQ across all its range with "measures of success".

I totally buy that having IQ below, say, 95, is bad news for you in life in general. But is having IQ 130 guaranteed good news over someone who has 105 for ex.? That's the key, which would differentiate my model from the model you cite.

Case in point, for some reason Mensa is full of people who seem entirely unremarkable, except for the fact they are in Mensa. You can find 140 IQ truck drivers etc. there (not to malign truck drivers, but we have to be objective you wouldn't put them in the top 0.1% of success despite in the top 0.1% of IQ).
That’s what they want you to think.

Anything that’s not work increases productivity at work. Productivity decreases during the day, during the week and in-between holidays.

I work 4.5hrs/day and woof I am so much more productive, I probably do more than when I worked 9hrs...
"Hire slow and fire fast". I've never seen a company that had not made several bad hires. The difference was the speed at which they were willing and able to identify them and remove them. You shouldn't trust someone the moment you bring them on, but I do believe that should be able to imagine yourself trusting them.

A general rule for me is that you should know within the first 2-4 weeks whether you've made a bad hire. This is a bold statement, but my experience is that this time frame will give you enough time to get a gut check (super vague, but there are too many different patterns for me to articulate here). If your gut says no, that will stick with you, and your gut will likely become a self-fulfilling prophecy anyways.
How does your company make money? Are the algorithms used to optimize your profits or are they there to optimize the sellers outcome? Or the buyers outcome?
But using your money to buy happiness after your ten hour work Saturday is not going to be a big success, either.

Yes, it does not replace money, but for some people it is worth more to feel happy at work than to receive a bit more money.
A 4K notebook display barely improves what your eyes see, at the cost of an enormous bump in power consumption. From an engineering perspective that's not a good tradeoff for battery life. This may be why they don't dominate the market.

ASUS makes multiple AMD laptops with high resolution and/or high refresh rate. Not sure if any are 4K OLED 120Hz, but the fact that you chose a corner case display constraint that was only satisfied by Intel machines may be more a reflection of the constraint than a conspiracy. The vast majority of Intel models don't offer that option either.

Also it's very easy to find IPS and VA laptops, but if you noticed a TN panel being offered for a gaming machine that's because it offers superior response time at the cost of contrast and color accuracy.

The premise and conclusion are wrong. You want to compare the whole picture not just growth form your arbitrary start at the peak of a mountain (your false framing). And you can just adjust them to the same Y axis, no need for log. We care about the marginal dollar.

You’re doing a lot of work avoiding looking at the graph I posted in earnest. It’s the right graph, and again you can’t choose an outlier.
Yes, it's limited to $300. So it's not very useful for people significantly more than that but still below the standard deduction.

I feel like there's a _spectrum_ of pros/cons in running a GUI versus pure command line.

Command line is the most practical for me, since I spend 99.9% of my time there, and I rarely have an X session anyway on remote server.

Sometimes, I have a need for something more graphical say to look at a git graph. Spawning an X session and running a full blown GUI would be possible but it's too much hassle for that use case IMHO. TUI is a nice in-between.

The Gervais Principle changed my life. Not all for good, but it did open my eyes wider, and it also helped explain some things that I couldn’t understand beforehand. (For example: I never understood why I found LinkedIn to be so depressing, until I saw that it was dominated by what Rao calls “the clueless” engaging in what he terms “posturetalk”. Many, many useful mental models in that book.)
Isn't this rather overblown ? The first 5 steps appear to be a ONE-time framework and system setup for your IDE - and this assumes you have multiple JDK's. You certainly don't need to repeat this for every project.

The run configuration can be automatically created by Intellij by attempting to execute a runnable class. You only need to set program args and env vars if needed - and that would be true for ANY language or program.

The spring loader path appears to be specific for this project.

The run logs are independent of Java. Thats just getting program logs.

10 years ago I pre-inherited a nice quality wooden ship model kit (assembled) from my father. He'd meant to assemble it in his retirement, but realized in his 80's he'd never do it.

In the last few months, I put a huge push into cleaning up my home office/workspace and now am working on one of the models. It feels good to go back to that thing to try and finish it. It's not as much the completion that drives me as the revisiting of the excitement of the old dream and love of old ships and wooden ship models.

It may be fast on its own, but I doubt it's faster than cursor+offset. Your idea is to materialize a slice starting from the cursor and offsetting within it. This means we still do offset, but without the cursor.

The thing is, the cursor is a lookup on an indexed sorted index, it's O(log N), it's effectively free already. And we add the cost of materializing the slice (if even just in memory), and introducing the potential of DoS-ing our server with this temporary state if we're not careful.

AFAIK mostly details, news, stories and stuff related to public knowledge about a company (which they factor in to the real HFT data) due to - as you already said - high latencies in mobile networks.

The issue that arises is mostly cloudflare-related, due to them having a huge influence on hosting, and the forced recaptchas when they detect anomalies in traffic behaviour makes a web scraping workflow real shitty.

From an algotrader's point of view it's a fix to make their web scrapers work again. I'm not sure how Chrome/ium headless could fix this (if it could). I'm a bit sceptical as it's just yet another cat and mouse game.

But as of late I've seen a huge scene start to develop around extension-building for headless Chrome specifically, so that they can run headless and still get the data as they want it to by integrating a content script that sends the data to another service.

I collect comic books.

But speculation has run rampant and comic prices have quadrupled or more for most "key" comics since Jan 2020. It has made the hobby absolutely unaffordable for most, like me. I don't chase the same comics as most people do, like Spider-man 300 (first Venom), New Mutants 98 (first Deadpool), Hulk 181 (first Wolverine), etc.

But even comics with large print runs have gone through the roof, which is frustrating as heck. It has completely taken the joy out of the hobby for me, and I'm patiently waiting for prices to crash, but I'm worried they never will.
I think you are right, the author does not discuss the ultimate question of their framework at all: "3. How will those users change?" That is, will the users become advocates of our products and recruit many more users, or will they become disillusioned and turn to competing products even for the heck of it. (Not every decision and outcome is logical either.)
Has anyone purchased a Peloton and found it useful?

I'm not sure what it provides compared to a similar bike plus a tablet to watch the myriad videos on YouTube.

Is it some sort of exercise status symbol to show off to their peer group (e.g. like people posting their workouts on strava)?

These bikes and treadmills seem to be double the price of a similar quality machine from existing manufacturers + an ipad, so I don't understand what the draw is for these.

This is a good thing, it means your accomplishments and growth are meaningful and impactful. Nothing worse than becoming some godly powerful being and yet everyone else in the world suddenly is godly powerful also, makes you wonder what the whole point of leveling is. In Morrowind once you are able to take down high level opponents, you feel like a badass and you know it. You truly achieve godhood. The expansions also are more difficult so it's not until very late game that you finally get strong enough not to be challenged (unless you exploit of course).

Sorry but I think you're the one who doesn't understand. Or you're shilling for Vlad.

A customer with a given amount of capital can buy far more stock on margin than on cash. Buying additional stock on the firm's dime puts the firm itself at risk and also increases deposit requirements. DTCC deposit requirements take margin into account but even if that were not the case RH bought more stock on margin than it would have in a cash-only restriction.

When Robinhood clients trade on margin, Robinhood itself takes risk on the position. There is no guarantee that margined trades will be liquidated when they go beyond minimum maintenance. Markets have discontinuous jumps all the time. So you can get situations like what happened with Archegos, where banks lost billions on the margin leverage that they provided to the customer.

T+2 isn't archaic, it was introduced a few years ago and even in T+2 many firms are unable to deliver shares on time. Vlad started to blame T+2 because his firm didn't have enough money to cover deposits, but (A) that could have been resolved by restricting margin to reduce GME buying power, and (B) hundreds of thousands of those shares failed to deliver on T+2 anyway.
Let the market (for agents) decide. If one agent thinks he can get $1.5M for a house, he'd be willing to accept higher thresholds — with higher percentages — than someone who thinks he can only get $1.35M for the house.

I'll admit that there would be some additional complication on the front end, where agents and homeowners would haggle over the thresholds and percentages, but a pretty simple web app (honestly even an Excel spreadsheet) could show the homeowner what his net would be with various agents at various prices. Given the amount of money at issue (six figures on a Silicon Valley home), it seems worth the hassle to get everyone's incentives aligned. This might be less important in areas with less-astronomical real estate prices.

As to your hypothesis that sellers would set the thresholds too high, agents could just respond with percentages (and the upfront fixed fee) that make sense for them. It's a double opt-in situation — the homeowner can't force the agent to represent him.
Posting on twitter secretly doesn't make sense unless you have good followers. Obviously you can do that for friends and family but com'on twitter is not for friends and family.

For coins specifically, I can tell you what I like about them.

I collect coins from all across time (literally back to the 7th century BC, when the first coins were minted), and all over the world. To me, they're tiny little objects of art, pieces of history, and artifacts worthy of study. Adding a new coin to my collection is a reminder that I'm its temporary caretaker. My collection, to me, is like a tiny museum of history, art, metallurgy and economics. Also, I think they're cool, and I like owning cool stuff.

I don't think that's exactly what you asked for, but, then, I don't think I actually can explain it in a way that will make a lot of sense to you. It's either you have the collecting impulse, or you don't, I've found.

Edit: duh, coins were invented in the 7th century BC, not the 5th century BC.

There was a reset between then and now: The Great Recession around 2008. Starting salaries were below 50K, and I was really surprised when a few years later I got an offer at that amount (also right out of college) - I remember looking around for what to expect, and it was more like 35K.

If you want to use a game analogy, use the Bartle taxonomy of player types (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartle_taxonomy_of_player_type...): Socializers, Explorers, Achievers and Killers.

Socializers enjoy talking about stamps, reading about stamps, engaging in online forums about stamps, etc.

Explorers like to just find new stamps - anything new.

Achievers want to maximize their stamps - all of a given time, given type, country, value, etc.

Killers? Well that one I'm not so sure about. Maybe they just want to screw others out of good collections.
"Learning to let my go of my ego and trust…”

This is the quality I learnt to look for in a leader (I am not a leader but worked under few good ones).

I also noticed how good leaders never take things personally. They quickly move on and not hold grudge. I am amazed how good leaders are able to do that and in doing so inspire me to do the same.
I’ve worked for a startup who was giving 866 stock options per month. Had I known they are valued $125 today, I would have:

- Shut up a few more times because I’d trust more the managers, and just followed the stream,

- Accepted to be patient about being a developer on a boring project, because what stressed me was “I don’t know enough to reach the career level that can allow me to ever buy a house.”

- Made 4 millions instead of 1.

I regret leaving and aggressively seeking for a better career, but at the time, things snowballed negatively because I wasn’t getting enough emotional attention. Of course it was a rational choice on both sides, but it was a mistake overall.

On my leaving card, all my colleagues wrote variations of “To the most motivated guy every” – proof that I was putting in decent work, albeit not working cleverly enough.
What hardware vendor does sell GNU/Linux systems already pre-configured with such policies?
There's a famous psychological experiment where people are split into pairs and given a pot of cash to share. One person decides how it should be apportioned, and the other decides whether to accept that share. If they reject it, neither person receives any money. The logical decision is to always accept the money, because a small amount is still better than nothing. However people don't do that. At a certain point, the desire to punish unfairness outweighs the desire for the money, and people will reject money in order to prevent the unfair person getting anything either.

I second this. Although I'm the opposite of rich I spent around two years trying to get my startup (turned out to be more like a small business) off the ground. Although stressful and tiring it was ultimately more exciting then most of the things I've done before with all the firefighting and Jacky things we did to try and stay afloat. I've since found most other things boring in comparison.
Writers Curse has its roots in the fact writing a novel can have real negative consequences (it takes ages, massive sacrifices are needed, and very unlikely to make anything substantial etc.) And yet, such people can have an obsession to write. Honestly I met so many crazy obsessed writers over the years.

If you have money then it would be great fun. But it's a huge burden if not.

Note: you will hear about some novels that take only X weeks and make a ton of money. e.g. twilight. But most writers I ever met the average was around 5-7 years for the first book.
If you're taking X weeks, the odds are it will be pretty shit unless it's very autobiographical. I loved dhamma bums by Jack Kerouac for example and I think he smashed that out in about 3 months.

My take: Human brains are good at building generalized models. We can't keep track of all the good/bad things that each important person does so we build a belief model based on our initial evidence which is often only partial and biased. Famous people like Elon tend to have strong opinions that pull this model to one extreme or the other depending on whether or not you agree with those opinions and actions.
over 200m doses administered in the US. Its fine.
In US at least, the population skews substantially left. Younger folks in the US lean quite left but don't vote.

While Republicans and Democrats are represented fairly evenly in elections, in population surveys that include non-voters Democrats have a ~20% edge.

For example, if only people under 45 voted in the last election, Biden would have won over 400 electoral votes. Perhaps getting the most in history.

So the definition of left leaning varies depending on whether you include all voters or the whole population.

This accounts for some of the reason why conservatives dismay media, tech, science, media, and schools being "run by the left". They are. The working and school population is younger and also votes less, and is very liberal compared to party policy positions.

The parties pander to the average voter, and news orgs to the average American. That's why so many news orgs "lean left"
