The flip side of minimum wage is often overlooked: people on the bottom end of the spectrum, who struggle to compete with other minimum-wagers, are cut out of the workforce. At $15…

Probably not for hard cases, but I find brown/pink noise useful when I _need_ to go to sleep. Works for me most of the times.

iPad: probably not. Windows 2-in-1's (for example, Surface Pro) _somewhat_ fit the bill: heavier than a tablet but still a full-blown computer when you need it.

People are focusing on verbage and precision, but are missing the point. Having a well-maintained Python tooling is essential for _any_ company who does AI. While smaller companies…

He needed some time to get up to speed with leetcode ;-)
