1. Browser APIs have subtle differences, or don't always exist in every browser you need to support (e.g, https://caniuse.com/) 2. You'll need at least a transpiler (if writing anything above ES5) and polyfills to solve…
I wouldn't leave my job for a "slight" increase in pay, though that's subjective and we haven't defined concrete amounts, other than 300k and 700k in my previous comment, and such a jump (more than double) could not be…
You could change the process by being the person who rubber-stamps everyone, regardless of how silly the "process" is. If the person didn't get the PhD algorithm perfect, yet still did a good job, let them in. Anyone…
I told myself I'd be fine at 300k. Now I'm there, and I've picked up more hobbies. Doesn't stop me from looking for new gigs, from time to time. Going super deep into optimizing for one thing might be a good short-term,…
If they already have their budget in mind before the interview process began, it won't buy you any leverage waiting until the very end. They won't care that they burnt the money/time/energy considering your candidacy,…
A simple rule would be only permitting publicly traded companies from being included in an IRA. No private companies. Then, no more 100,000% growth inside of the IRA.
The nominal return (9%) is: 40000 * (1.09 ^ 70) = $16,669,203. The first calculation uses 7%. It is the real return. You'll actually have $16m, but the purchasing power would be $4.5m in 2021 dollars.
The S&P 500, over its history, has returned north of 9% per year. https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/042415/what-average...
There's a pervasive sense of stagnant wages, unaffordable homes, etc in first world and developing countries. In China, it's tangping. In America, it's my step sibling having 0 desire to move out of our parents home…
If rents are bi-modal, as one of the parent posters suggests, then how can all properties be valued based on the higher end (e.g, tenants with deep pockets) when not all tenants actually have deep pockets? Shouldn't the…
I care somewhat about telemetry, but the path to avoiding it must be simple. In VSCodium's case, it's not quite there. If VSCodium wanted greater market share, the first thing they'd do is clean up the extensions story.…
There's the opportunity cost to throwing away your organization's knowledge of AWS, though. Everyone will have to learn to do things the bespoke way on your bare metal. So developer productivity could decline.
I'm fairly certain a square manhole cover with a sufficient perimeter would still have no chance of falling into a hole, depending on the diameter of said hole.
It's almost like they're regular people, just like the rest of us.
Having spoken with older generations, I can tell you their concrete concerns of seeing others die or become disabled from polio is 1 or 2 magnitudes more relevant than vague concerns of government or pharmaceutical…
As I got my first shot, the nurse told me the 2nd one was worse. But like you, I found the cost-benefit analysis compelling, and they likely assumed if I got the first one, I'd probably be a repeat customer. If someone…
If a seemingly insignificant issue is enough to start a war, perhaps the problems run deeper than the tipping point trigger issue.
Isn't having more power brokers healthier for a democracy than fewer? Today, the existing oligarchs control both the currency and all the laws. This at least fragments that further. The existing oligarchs still get the…
> * "This will decentralize ownership of a currency." Nope, it will move from having government control to having oligarchic control. In most places where oligarchs exist, they largely control their government. That is,…
I'd be curious to know what folks see as the benefits to a pension that are otherwise not reproducible with a 401(k) and standard brokerage account. The only difference with the brokerage is ERISA protection, which…
It's important to know some assets avoid probate and go directly to the beneficiary. These include things like a life insurance policy, or a 401(k) with a beneficiary information you can input, and possibly even update…
Your double hourly rate for contracting might be gross, and after taxes (covering both sides of FICA), health insurance, and other employer-provided benefits, the net delta could be smaller.
The world is far too big for anyone to care as to a minute detail of "Developer John Doe didn't meet my productivity metrics". That's worthy of a (mental) eye roll. Workers in this industry, at the moment, have the…
I'd be curious how much of their revenue is ex-US. It's an interesting stat, but if we've expanded the cohort massively to include a bunch of exclusively free users, then it's less so.
It seems inaccurate as well. https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?geo=US&q=duolingo,l... duolingo - 49, learn Spanish - 16 That's slightly over 3x, nowhere near 9x.
