It's weird that one of the reasons that you endorse AWS is that you had regular meetings with your account manager but then you regret premium support which is the whole reason you had regular meetings with your account manager.

It makes me wonder how Israel can achieve something like this while simultaneously not being aware of the Oct 7 attacks.

Agree with this completely. I have found it consistently challenging to create the structure necessary for low performers to turn their work around. We have also had issues with people actively working for other companies while turning in poor work, spending most of their time freelancing, etc. It is hard to correct that level of effort when they think it is "good enough". Sadly the whole overemployed phenomenon is ruining it, not because they work multiple jobs but because they are disingenuous about it.

For anyone coming back to math I can't recommend enough the book "Journey through Genius: The Great Theorems of Mathematics". It's interesting how much of algebra came originally from geometry and the path to developing these fields makes it so much more intriguing / understandable vs just learning math to learn math.

Our team has an Enterprise account, but individuals cannot access GPT-4 through the chat.openai.com interface. With teams, do individuals get access to GPT-4 through that interface? Is our account just broken somehow?

It seems odd we have enterprise but cannot access GPT-4 through the main ChatGPT interface.

Yea I always liked the way Spanner solved this. Let's not bother with any of the distributed system theory and just use that Google money to build in to the system extremely precise clocks :-D.

(Obv I know it's more complicated than that, but where else can you be reductionist if not the internet)

There is a weird bug on your "What do you want to learn about first?" question.

I am able to select both "Cheeseburger" and "Greek Salad" but not "Greek Salad" and "Spaghetti & Meatballs". If I tap "Greek Salad" after first tapping "Spaghetti & Meatballs" then it deselects the "Spaghetti & Meatballs" and selects "Greek Salad" (even with only 1 item selected).

Anyway, cool concept.

You still owe capital gains on the original proceeds, deferred a few years and with a possible 10-15% basis step up. This isn't zero capital gains tax.

If you happen to have a billion dollar exit on your reinvested capital gains that can be tax free, but you're still paying tax on the original gain.

I feel this. I just upgraded MacOS 11 Big Sur and to XCode 12.5 (from 12.4). Both updates were 12 GB.

Where I am in Colorado gyms reopened. No one inside wearing masks & even though they had reserved times it didn't seem like they limited the number of people at all. I imagine people are now "wearing" masks but actually subtly skirting the state mandate. Decided to stop going to the gym because of it & am now building a home gym instead.
