First things to do on a new windows 10 install are run the decrapifier.ps1 and install classic shell.

Problem solved. It is a shame that the default is so garbage but there's an easy solution.

You don't delete it because it's a liability in the maintenance account but it's an asset in the features account.

I still prefer Excel to esoteric regular expressions in vim for parsing complex text to copy paste. For example extracting individual pieces of data from a bunch of log file lines or reformatting text into syntax valid in some programming language.

You can work up the correct syntax in the top cell with mid, left, right, etc. And then just copy down once you have it right and copy the resulting values to your editor.

There's also "text to columns" for parsing separated or fixed width text.

The population is small and more studies are needed.

I found this:

Unfortunately the suicide risk is still very high even for post transition trans population.

I used to think like that and then I learned that suicide rate is extremely high among young people with gender dysphoria and these medicines are known to reduce that risk.

Is there any rule or provision preventing them from short selling the stock in another account?

Yeah, I agree.. Doing enough prep to get a hundred percent acceptance rate is not worth it. And it is a level I couldn't achieve anyhow. I've done fine on my career with 50 percent or lower acceptance rate at interviews. It's one of the things I'm the worst at in this industry, but you only need to change jobs fairly infrequently.

I also question a lot of these "I landed every offer" claims. People often exaggerate their victories.

I would think that sales would be easier to measure than tech because successful salespeople have a track record with dollar amounts sold.

Anti virus causes so many problems on Windows systems. Even the included defender product. My laptop experiences random pauses a couple of times per day and I've correlated them with high CPU in anti malware service executable. It's difficult to cure without uninstalling anti virus.

Many investors in mortgage backed securities lost quite a lot in 07-09. Your statement is false. The fed bailed out the big banks but smaller players wrote down many positions to 0.

Folks, these companies can still offer free food. At smaller companies in NY that don't have a cafeteria but want to keep the employees in for lunch they give out a seamless allowance. It works quite well. Not sure if it would scale to an office with thousands of workers but it probably could. Some places also order catering from local food vendors.
