Amazon leading on price-performance, but competition from Google is very stiff.

Does anyone know the data source for this curve?

Title slightly edited for length.

I'm keen to hear what the community thinks of this. Is it credible? Is this The End Times?

I already have a diversified stock portfolio, so I'm happy keeping my RSUs as a leveraged bet on my employer. I got one piece of advice recently, which was to sell enough of the vest to cover the tax that it will incur - since RSU tax is incurred at the point of vest in my tax jurisdiction. YMMV on that depending on where in the world you are.

Great site, but is it finished? If not, perhaps it would benefit from a yellow and black flashing "Under Construction" banner.

Better write your own compiler, then... And your own language, just to be sure.

I've seen the Economist describe itself as "fiscally conservative, socially liberal"

The only question you should be asking is: Are these shares listed on a public market? If yes, you can value them at market price. If no, their current value is zero.

So you hire people who skip over the depth of the locking model and just copy and paste the addition code, but you fail the people who spend time to deeply understand the locking model but can't produce a solution in three hours?

Interesting approach, I bet your codebase is a thing of beauty...

What you've described is pretty much what Reddit was back in 2006-7 before the first big re-design and introduction of subreddits.

For the longest time I was someone who relied on external validation of whether my work was meaningful or not. Outside of saving lives or delivering children, most of the jobs that most people do are probably not that 'meaningful'.

I spent the last three years working for a narcissist, which meant that I got minimal external validation, even when I knew the work I was doing was valuable. I learned to reframe and appreciate the intrinsic value of my effort, especially when I knew that my effort was of high quality. It's an approach that works for me and I recommend it to other people.

Approximately 150,000 ex-pat workers (maybe ~10% of the total ex-pat population) left in the 12 months from June 2020-June 2021. https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/politics/spores-total...

The SG gov has been celebrating this, with some of them going so far as to say that 'foreigners' are 'ballast to be shed' during tougher times. https://twitter.com/wongdouglas/status/1298802033462394881?l...

Give it time. I wouldn't be long Singaporean property over the next three years even if my life depended on it.

For the last two years Singapore has had a hard closure of all eating establishments at 1030 - they will literally come and take your drink off of the table. For the last several months any and all background music has been banned in restaurants in case 'music causes people to speak more loudly and encourage the spread of covid "droplets"'.

What you said may have been true in the past, but it hasn't been true for a long time, and at this rate may never be true again.
