You should join a startup where generally everyone needs to carry their weight for the company to succeed which creates camaraderie opposite of loneliness.
They key point that's missing here is that ALL stock trades are on "margin" because in reality it takes 2 days to settle a trade, but that is abstracted away from you by the brokerage and clearing house, and made available to you instantly.
Caveat: I'm just starting to learn about all this, so it's probably not a perfectly accurate analogy.
You are taking your personal anecdotes and extrapolating. No one would disagree with you that mental illness and addiction are major factors in homelessness. But your argument is like saying, anyone who doesn't believe everyone in the world is wealthy go spend some time in Medina. It's a ridiculous argument.
This is spot on. As a hiring manager for these type of positions, the primary thing I look for is a track record of using data to achieve business results. This of course creates a barrier for entering this field and makes those with this experience even more highly sought after.
Yes, and I only feel bad for those who have cancer, and have no food to eat. The employees only have to worry about the mental anguish of suffering through some stupid whiteboard coding problems to get their next job. /sarcasm off.
Critical hit! I didn't realize that cancer patients and the starving were part of this discussion of Soundcloud's layoffs. I will go lick my wounds and perform the required penance of reading five PG essays for suggesting that CEOs have it relatively easy.
Both him and his cofounder are paper rich from Angel investments they made (they just got a massive windfall with the IPO of Delivery Hero), by the way, so I'm sure they'll do just fine.
They did, assumedly as soon as they could've. The shaking came from the plane having effectively a giant scoop for the air to catch below one of the wings.
Personally, I would do whatever you think best sets up your child for success. In my case, it's unfathomable in my family culture to not pay for college for the child if you're financially able because that is what we believe will set up the child for success - to be able to freely seek out higher education and realize their full potential without worry of debt and finances. However, the counter point is that there are those that feel the financial constraints will make your child stronger and instill in them a stronger work ethic and appreciation for what they have. An upbringing that combines both elements is likely ideal, but personally I chose to instill the latter values in different ways that doesn't cripple my child with debt.
It's more than people being used to free access. Tolls on a major highway like the 405 would effectively be a regressive tax - people need to get to work and in L.A. there often is no alternative. And people seem to generally agree regressive taxation is not a good idea.
This is kind of missing the whole point. Which is, as a developer, you can slip anything into the Apple appstore that you could have slipped into Alexa's, so the point the article is making about certification is silly. Of course there are more security implications in Apple's case, but the fact remains that numerous apps have done the bait and switch and were pulled after Apple discovered it much later.
We were one of these potential bigger customers willing to fork over thousands per month, but the unit cost was still too expensive for us. We tried to negotiate a better bulk rate, but their team was unresponsive and so we eventually went with another service that was more responsive to our needs. According to the article they only have ~3k paying customers, which means they only care about giant top tier customers willing to pay top dollar. Seems like a mistake to me, but what I only know from the potential client perspective.
