People seem to believe that cryptocurrencies are either a scam/waste/bubble or that they are an amazing technology that the future of financial tech will be built upon. And there is this battle between the sides. I…
How is this possibly true? I've increased my vertical jump by nearly two entire feet through years of training in volleyball. Everyone can increase their vertical just like they can increase their squat. It's a full…
What it can enable/improve upon according to Goldman Sachs [0]: Assorted banking use cases, trade settlements, payments to notaries, voting systems, vehicle registrations, wire fees, gun checks, academic records,…
It is tough, if not impossible to know for sure in cases like these. The most effective way is the use of controlled studies. The population is split such that the only difference between the groups is one variable. The…
The quality of social interaction is very important. None of the relationships you described seemed overly healthy. The study shows that it was good, warm, reciprocal relationships that factored into improved mental…
This approach has always interested me. I can train an decent Cats Vs. Dogs classifier in a few minutes. But real human intelligence takes many years of continuous and varied input to develop. Are there systems out…
Has anyone been able to do this? Is anyone working on it? I only follow the field as a hobby, but as far as I can tell we are nowhere near getting to this point. I think the ability to combine all these parts in a way…
As an owner of an iPhone 7 and a Pixel I'd say there are not many. Google Assistant is way ahead of Siri at pretty much every imaginable task, and Google Photos can do a lot more than iOS Photos. That said, none of…
This might not be a useful answer for you, but are you sure any of that is necessary? You can spend months pre-validating an idea and never get anywhere. Go talk to potential customers now. Find people who are willing…
> However, a human prodigy can apply their genius to many domains I'm not sure how true this is. It's pretty rare to find someone who is a genius in more than one domain. Einstein was famously offered the presidency of…
Canada welcomes you. We even have a startup-specific Visa program [0]. Toronto has a growing tech scene and is one of the most diverse cities in the world. Montreal and Ottawa are wonderful. Waterloo has a booming tech…
There are professionals out there whose job it is to help out people in situations like yours. Before you make any life changing decisions I would talk to one. CEO's, Hedgefund Managers, Sport Stars, they all talk to…
I don't mean to come off as harsh, but your reasons are wrong. Piketty isn't some random guy who threw together some numbers and came up with a theory. His work is extensively researched and reviewed. He's thought of…
> Here is a question Piketty didn't ask: what percent of dynastic, billionaire wealth was created in a single generation in America? Not addressed at all. (And I read his book and wrote to him with my criticism, which…
Some thoughts: While working in finance I was able to talk to many people who's work was related to economics. Employees at banks and brokerages, governments and regulator bodies. Most had heard of Piketty, and many…
I use Visual Studio and I don't see that changing. Do you think it's worthwhile for me to learn to use Vim? Does using VsVim give you the same capabilities as regular Vim? And does using it take away any Visual Studio…
How much time are you giving them to prepare an answer? If a senior member of the company scheduled a meeting and then asked me on the spot what I would improve about the company I wouldn't be able to give any good…
You mention that needless regulations are bad. Matt Levine [1] has an interesting theory on regulations: (paraphrased) 1. There are two types of regulations: - Custom Regulations (smart, particular, specific) - Bulk…
I think "team fit" as you've described is probably the most important factor for me. But it's a really tough thing to interview for / create within a team. I had a coworker who could be described as a 'social…
It's funny how after all the work that went into this he still ends up with a CV Profile with two grammatical errors! I guess the final version is better? It's definitely more joyful, but also longer and less direct…
Of course. It's an average. Also included in that average are girls who get a $1000 weave twice a year plus monthly cuts, coloring and styling. And I'm guessing the product is catered more towards the second group.
Some anecdotal data that might surprise you then: A good friend of mine gets her hair cut once a month and says with tip it's about $100. Then coloring a few times a year at $200 a pop, then lots on shampoo,…
He's be no means a hero to me, but you do raise interesting points. I'm really not sure if Rockefeller gave more than he took. That's a tough question to answer. Is a world without Standard Oil, but also without his…
Globalresearch also publishes 9/11 truther articles and chem-trail articles. They are not a valid source.
I agree that the $400 million seems ridiculous. But it's interesting that you mention black colleges, because David Rockefeller's grandfather started the General Education Board [0] - one of the first and most important…
