I am assuming you don't have any kids. I used to think same way and so did most of my Asian friends. Hey I am doing fine, I end up going to decent college, other Asians can do same…

Seems like in all these methods, you need to be in top 10% or top 1% to make money.

This is sad. I knew several Asian Indians who claimed that they were mixed race to get into college. Because if they didn't, they won't get in while they all had 4.0 gpas. They jus…

Why? What should we care about then? Is pollution worse than COVID19? Human trafficking? There are so many problems in this world, we need different people working on different pro…

I have worked for 5 companies in my 15 years career. One of that company was ecommerce consulting firm which dealt with a lot of mom-n-pop ecommerce stores. Let me tell you not a s…

Fidelity, I daytraded GME today without any issues. I also have accounts with Tastyworks and Think or Swim. Tastyworks sent email that their clearinghouse had blocked certain stock…

Why is this downvoted? This true and I would not trust IB. My friend had been trying convince me to come to IB but now he is moving to Fidelity.

A lot of broker restricted and then rolled back. Some brokers like Tastyworks said it wasn't their choice but their clearing house was restricting. The damage is done already and n…

Where are they going to go? Every company is using dark patterns. Maybe there are a few small ethical companies but that is very small number.

At this point, no broker is lending gme to retail investors. However, if you are market maker, you should be able to short it still.

Is it just me or do others also feel raised blood pressure, tingling in forearms, and other physical symptoms after watching violent videos? These disturbing videos can kill my pro…

How would you get started? And did you turn it into your fulltime job?

Not sure why you are being downvoted, trading is very objective indeed.

Living docs mean ever changing requirements and specs. You build your project against internal Living document only to come back next week to find out that there is something major…

I used to feel same way. If I didn't produce 8 hours of code then I felt guilty. If I got stuck on problem for 8 hours then I felt guilty. It took some time but now I realize that …

It is costly to switch context. I try to avoid it unless my boss directly asks me to. Even then, I try to wait until next day to do so.

I know a few devs who are hosting opensource alternatives of popular service like Dropbox. Other more extreme are hosting their own dns on pi-hole, email servers, etc.

If founders got dev and design skills, then this will work. Add in a few thousand dollars for marketing if you want a successful launch.

I am a software engineer at failing fortune 500 tech giant. Managers like to create artificial deadlines but other than that there is no real stress. If service goes down and I am …

Same here. Pretty easy to follow their popular picks and make real money.

Fuji X100f. Love it, mostly because I learned photography on manual film cameras and this camera gives me that nostalgic feelings. Besides it looks cool and it is a good conversati…

Is this Basis same as Basis watch?

Fat shaming is brutal in Asian countries. If one is fat, they will be bullied or they will need to be bully. I know a Pakistani American obese woman who went to Pakistan for a wedd…

Bought one off amazon for $25. Not the fanciest. Need to shut it off at valve after using it. It is not designed to be undwr pressure. But it has been working for 8 years. Don't wa…

Pools. Trying to get and contractors are not even willing to work on one unless at 75k in my area
