I disagree. There is no such thing as a "lean" site that is as popular as Wikipedia (top 5-10 US depending on the day). I believe they are likely the leanest website in the Alexa t…

I have to object to this. Wikimedia as of their audited 2019 financial statements ( https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/foundation/3/31/Wikim... ) already has ~$53m in short ter…

WeWork, for the most part, does not own actual real-estate assets. They mostly have actual real-estate liabilities - leases. They do own a relatively small amount of property, like…

There was a less extreme yield curve inversion a few months ago, which is likely what you're referring to. But it wasn't so far reaching as the current inversion, which puts the 1 …

It's a sci-fi book with an impressive sense of scale. Every hundred pages or so the story zooms out; from one man's life, to a country's struggle, to a global calamity, to an inter…

That doesn't make any sense. Why would someone have interviewed at Google before doing a bootcamp like Lambda School, which is specifically meant to teach someone (with almost zero…

Is it not possible to limit your algorithm's maximum time change for each school? Say, capping the change at 1 hour, and finding the best result of that set of times. Even if it is…
