My 40s have been way better than my 20s or 30s. It's not even close. The best part of your life does not have to be behind you.

Insiders are often very overexposed to a single company because it's their primary form of compensation. You can sell every share you have and still be overexposed due to unvested …

There are good points here, but I think analogizing the situation into a class struggle within a society is both confusing and specious. Ethereum is not a civilization: it's a piec…

I mean anybody can sue anybody for anything, but to win damages you'd have to prove that either Tesla intended to mess up his previous job or that they were negligent (based on a l…

But it is optional. There's social pressure for all kinds of things, including getting married and having children. You have to figure out how to get food & shelter and follow loca…

> How can you sum the numbers in a row without writing a line of code? Drag your mouse over the cells and press the sum button.

Spidering and building an index is relatively easy. It's not the barrier to creating a search engine, and I don't think you'd find that Microsoft's index is materially smaller than…

They're not private attorneys who have the US as their client. They work for an organization (DoJ) that has the US as its client. That organization can have whatever policies it wa…

A better way to think about it is that grades and test scores are probably not enough if you want to get into an elite school. Universities want interesting people who will enrich …

In 2015, the valuation of the company was $4 billion below the valuation of the Alibaba stock it held. A popular interpretation of this is that the main Yahoo! operations were cons…

Yahoo! hasn't been a company for years. It's just part of Verizon's media group.

"I don't trust either, but I'm confident my ISP would sell me out for 12¢ if given the chance."

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story!

This reminds me of something that happened at a company I worked at maybe ten years ago. An employee was fired for setting up a webcam that pointed at his 2FA key generator so he c…
