How does this discount efficient market hypothesis? You can find plenty of examples of people buying 2$ lottery tickets and becoming millionaires.

Because it’s one of the biggest tech companies and its results foreshadow earnings for other tech companies. Just look at the after hours price movements of most of the tech stocks.

Perhaps you are using the wrong language. You should probably just stick with python or javascript where they just have simple lists and maps and pretty much nothing else.

Unfortunately, python garbage collector messes up copy on write. Here’s a blog from instagram on how they fixed it -

If you have a non trivial application, multiprocessing just takes a lot of memory. Every child process that you create duplicates the parent memory. There are some interesting hacks like gc.freeze that exploits the copy on write feature of forks to reduce memory, but ultimately you can just create a few hundred of processes compared to thousands of threads because of memory consumption.

Blind is even worse than Glassdoor. Last I checked, it had some kind of weird restriction about if you are not in a big tech or a well known startup, you can’t see any reviews.

I know there are already guns that have fingerprint unlock feature. I wonder if the US constitution allows states to require such fingerprint unlock on all new guns.

It’s certainly possible. Wikipedia is free. It won’t be too hard to replicate wikipedia’s model to create a Reddit replica.

Going a step further, I think google should stop crawling websites that are paywalled. When I search for something, I want to see results that I can click on. Not some snippets from NYT, WSJ, Bloomberg and others which are heavily paywalled.

I wonder why Canadians always look at housing from the demand perspective. What about supply? Canada is big. Unless everyone is trying to live in Vancouver and Toronto, there is more than enough space to build houses. Do you not have enough construction workers to build houses?

If you have travelled through the NJ portion of I-95, and stopped at any service stations, you quickly realize how stupid this law is. A single attendant trying to fill gas for 10 cars. Drivers just waiting in line for 20 minutes to fill their gas!

MSFT stock stagnated for more than a decade and jumped once they fired Ballmer and got rid of his stack ranking system.

Isn’t customer obsession Amazon’s first leadership principal? I wonder how they justified such dark patterns?

If this massively increases the cost of online deliveries, won’t it reduce demand significantly? Unless they limit or freeze who can do online deliveries (like they do for uber and lyft), I am not sure if the workers will really be better off.
