Fellow BP1-er here - this is great, thank you for taking the time to share.

I'll guess it avarages out to roughly 3-4 hours on weekdays and 10-20 over a weekend. I also love longform journalism, which can eat up a few hours per week. I do little in general…

I have no life outside of reading and consume nearly 200 books/year, so I'd love to offer up a few 2018 favorites! Doctor Dealer: The Rise and Fall of an All-American Boy and His M…

Thanks for sharing your experience and articulating this so well. I have been on the same dose of Ambien for nearly 2 years. I'm fortunate that it does its job with zero side effec…

Yep, it sure is fascinating! Much of the world prefers riding the bubble to FOMO. The frothier it gets, the less need for and meaning held by useful indicators. It's human nature :…

I agree, but will go further to claim that the entire interview was horrible. So little information was conveyed in soo many words. He either had nothing to say, couldn't articulat…

Invested a relatively large portion of my portfolio in Sears (SHLD) last July. Double-downed in October. Still holding it. Misery loves company. Please share!

I loved this, thanks for sharing! I died at "niche numbers."

Be careful, the neck position may catch up to you eventually! I spent about 75% of the workday in bed with my laptop over the past 5 years. Earlier this year, I experienced my firs…

This is really helpful, thanks for explaining!

Looking at salary numbers online, a CV scientist salary can be roughly 15% - 30% lower than ML scientist salaries. What explains this (more specifically than supply/demand)? Thanks…

That's a great start. I would suggest learning about big data, data science, machine learning. Depending on your city, you can find reputable and reasonably priced bootcamps. Other…
