> 4. I have to moderate myself because some stupid parent determined that it's now a "kids" game and everyone should cater to their crotchrats.

I'm sorry, but I can't imagine being this upset at children. If I'm at a bar and I see a kid walk in, yes I will act differently because they are in earshot. It doesn't matter that the child is in an adult space.

"Well I was here first" is such an immature dismissal of acknowledging how your community is changing.

I understand your point, but I would be upset if I took my family to Chuck E Cheese's and there was a table full of adults loudly talking about their raunchy escapades from the night before. I think it is a fair assumption that a child's game will have clean chat.

Everyone seems to be trying to explain what Brady does differently, but another possible explanation is that he has unique genetics that have provided him a long career. If the average tenure for a professional career is 5 (or whatever) years, there will be outliers. Maybe Brady is just an extreme outlier and his body is naturally more resistant to damage or aging effects.

Don't think of "coding" as writing javascript to make websites. Think of "coding" as "talking to computers".

As software eats the world, the value of people who can talk to computers will increase. Even if it takes fewer programmers to make a website, there will be more jobs for programmers to automate concept art production pipelines. You may not be writing javascript or python in fifteen years (I bet you will) but there will be code to tell the automation services what to do.

The interesting question is the general population becoming more tech savvy? Will this change in work encourage more students to learn how to code (whatever that looks like in twenty years)? Or will the demand for coders rise without a corresponding increase in supply?

I don't think a list of job titles would be helpful for you because (not surprisingly, as a startup) you are looking for one person to do 3-4 different jobs.

In my experience, what and where to measure should be led by your business folks. The rest of the responsibilities could probably be handled by a data engineer.

I guess my word of warning is that I don't think you'll find someone with three areas of expertise

1) understanding your business / industry at a level deep enough to know what to measure.

2) having the core statistics and analytic capabilities to work with someone in category 1) to get insights out of the data.

3) having a deep understanding of databases and engineering pipelines to make functional and reliable data infrastructure that allow folks in 2) to be good at their job.

If you are starting a new analytics department, I would be looking for an existing person at the company to take responsibility for 1) and look for a great candidate in 3) who has worked closely with others in 2).

I started taking a Zyrtec every night and set up an air purifier. I think allergies were preventing me from getting a good night's rest and since doing these two things I've had a noticeable improvement in my sleep quality.

One of the most helpful things I heard during my first few weeks in college was something like, you have to be uncomfortable in order to grow. College will put you in lots of uncomfortable situations. You should learn to identify that feeling and when you feel it acknowledge that you are uncomfortable because you are experiencing something new and it will make you a better person.

I think this its especially important if you are introverted at all. Your dorm will quickly become you safe nest and it will be hard to leave that space to do things with potential new friends. You have to recognize that you are uncomfortable leaving your dorm and acknowledge that the growth process is happening when you leave it.

What will happen to the price of the stock is that it will be inflated over the "true price" by risk adjusted premium of the buyout.

Stock price = "stock price without Elon owning it" + "Elons premium" * "likelihood of Elon losing the lawsuit and being forced to buy the company"

That likelihood should never be less than 0, so I think this legal fight would only help the twitter stock price.

I guess I am assuming that the "true price" is actually lower than what Elon offered for it.

They don't the majority. Hyundai owns 1/3 of Kia and Kia actually is a partial owner in several Hyundai subsidiaries.

This phenomenon is called something like "rockets and feathers" of gas prices. I don't think anyone knows exactly why this happens, but I think it has something to do with the fact that gas stations all want to sell their gasoline at the highest price they can and rising oil prices let them raise their prices. But when oil prices fall, competitive forces act more slowly. If you run a gas station, you won't drop your price by $1 per gallon just because your costs have fallen by a $1 per gallon. You'll watch the station across the street drop his price by 5 cents, then you will drop your price by 7 cents, then he will drop his by another 5 cents and so on. The two competing stations will gradually eat away at each other's profit until the gas is back to being priced basically at cost.
