It's a good arena to discover talking points especially if the candidate is not a good interviewer. There are a lot of good engineers who simply do not interview well and this is a fantastic way for me to pry some positives out that may otherwise have been missed / glossed over.

This rings very true from my perspective as well from both sides of the fence.

I've been using a fanless Steacom case for my HTPC for years now. It's a little pricy, but well worth it given that it looks like a high end DVR.

Sorry I wasn't too clear, short in the previous post was meant as short selling and long was just buying (whether you're borrowing to do so or not).

So I've personally made 6 figures on TSLA. If I'm an idiot, what does that make someone who thought they were smarter than someone who would invest in TSLA?

Here's the thing about investment: whether you're playing the long or short game, the only way you make money is through stock volatility. And as far as volatility is concerned, TSLA has been fantastic to play over and over again.

Why put this out prior to French elections?

Depends on your POV. Startups undervalue it and corporations overvalue it. At the end of the day, it's just risk management.

If you're interested, please swipe to the right...

They're efficient and that's reason enough to like them. I'm also the type who'd rather compose or read a one line email instead of having to wade through a shit sandwich, but hey, that's just me.

It was great when I was working aeronautics as the modeling and simulation required a thorough review of theories and concepts. These days, I'm lucky to do more math than built in excel functions... Again, /sad.

I always have #6 on my list and I always put it off. /sad

Here's the other piece: Estimations happen prior to negotiations. This is why you see so much "buffering." A much better approach is to figure out your budget / schedule first and then work on what scope can fit within that pre-alloted budget / time frame.

Because:

1) I'm not a sadist. 2) Lowering the barrier of obtaining answers leads to a higher level of curiosity and greater yearning to learn. 3) It allows an easy way for my kids to be exposed to more types of music. 4) It helps with piano practice.

And seriously, lay off the personal attacks. Echo isn't a replacement for a parent. This isn't about sitting a kid in front of a TV, this is about a wonderful supplemental product which kids can use at an early age.

I'm happy to lose a bit of privacy for something my kids can use so easily. One of the lesser known features is its wikipedia key word. If you say wikipedia followed by what you are looking up, it will read the wiki entry for you. It's a perfect fall back plan for when it doesn't understand a question otherwise.

I started showing this to my son when he turned 3.
