In other words: - you previously spent time building relationships with contractors. You didn’t just type in property management in Google - a significant overhead goes to insuranc…

I believe you can do well with rentals, but not without labor and knowledge. The danger is people thinking they will just hire a manager. I would also rather be an engineer than fi…

Idk if it was very technical for him to succeed. Know your local market and be aggressive in buying is a good strategy throughout 80s and 90s.

Seminars were important knowledge distribution networks in the 80s and 90s. Scams and low quality content are usually a strong indicator something used to be good, and attracted co…

You don’t think he made a lot of money in real estate?

He already has stated publicly that the “rich dad” is a characterization. And the book is about the 4th product in his attempt to teach finance courses. So I’m already suspect of t…

You’re trying to say that I’m defining success as money and he’s defining it as more wholesome factors. That’s not what’s happening.

Having a job he likes that pays him money he wants. That’s the criteria outlined. He’s just afraid it might end up being a job he doesn’t like. There is a myth that higher paying j…

this sounds a lot like the psychology of having nothing to lose vs something to lose. You play more aggressively and are more successful in the former case.

Remember that like wikipedia, citing yourself, or people related to your work is a form of marketing, and important for careers.

I would expect them to have someone with at least an undergrad in math look over the math. Editor would help identify that

This. He tries to do a few epsilon delta proofs and completely gets the concept wrong. I’m surprised an editor did not stop this. If he can’t understand a limit it really puts a qu…

How many meanings of the word emum do we need? Whose code does this improve?

Hash maps are extremely difficult to make general which is probably why they were never included in C++98. unordered_map is a disaster.

> Where do you see three sorts stable_sort, sort, and sort_heap The creator Alex Stepanov also included insertion_sort (used in sort) but it was rejected by standard committee. Tha…

I would disagree. The purpose of big O in the STL is not to allow you to compare different algorithms, but allow you to reason about how that will scale with input size. If I test …

To refresh. My argument is that if you are starting out you need to have drive and interest. That’s it.

So no such thing as a good or bad engineer? Just teams then? Have you ever worked by yourself? I think the bias today is actually against individuals and for community. Money ball …

Do you think you can become a really good engineer without being personally motivated and curious? I don't. That's not to say you can't have seasons of more or less interest, but t…

Agreed. And I don't blame mid career workers for not having time to do much after full-time jobs. But this is an individual who is early in developing their skills and indicating t…

This. If you haven't been naturally excited to work on your own projects during this downtime, this field might not be for you.

Math is all about taking a notion from life that you might consider “common sense” and using it to solve a problem. You have to prove it works carefully though. This is Turing’s wo…
