4B was pretty limited in South Korea according to Wikipedia and anecdotally the same appears to be true in US. Anecdotally I see it shared mostly by women who are dating or actively in relationships.

While I think those that forgo social media while growing up are more likely to have better attention spans and ability to focus, I'd also guess they're just as likely to be significantly socially out of the loop.

This is a bold claim to make without citing anything.

Muni monthly pass for an adult is $85. A round trip commute pays for itself within two weeks not including any other trips. 95% of the city is covered and anything that isn't is within reasonable walking distance. Unlike any business, its nearly guaranteed cities will always subsidize the real cost. The average resident is not as dependent on Uber as you assume.

Everyone's seemed to gloss over this but this deal seems to be as much an acqhuisition as an acquisition. Do some research on who Gokul Rajaram is. He ran ads at FB and Google was a very significant leader. I don't think the margins of food delivery have changed. Remember Square couldn't get Uber to pick up Caviar for $100 million around the time Square had its IPO. Also I imagine the price involves DoorDash seems to be banking on a closer relationship with Square as well.

My general strategy around that is have the least amount of context possible. If context is necessary, then create multiple cards around it. For example, for a cloze deletion card, it's not uncommon I have up to 3+ clozes for a single note.

So the main tool that memory champions rely on is essentially 'visualizing/picturing' fake situations. Now, I have a solid memory outside of this. But when I picture things, it's pretty hard for me even for most familiar places like my home. Any memory experts with actual advice to see more vibrantly? I feel like I'm always fighting against the natural tendency to see black (as is natural with eyes closed) versus trying to focus on what I'm picturing.

Fair enough. I guess I'm pointing out with cloze questions that don't hide all the selected text, you're perhaps making it too easy. I prefer hiding all, showing one. On a test, you might be able to get similar hints but if the understanding isn't there you might be thrown off by different wording. If I'm creating the knowledge for work, I'd rather simplify as much as possible, break up into different parts where necessary, and learn the answer exactly. Relying on additional context is not something I'd do. For those reasons, I'd prefer regular flashcards when possible. The other benefit of a single flashcard is it's easier for organization purposes.

That seems like a waste of flashcards to me, but if it works for you, it works. I would just create one flashcard for front and back. What is a stack in CS? A stack is an abstract data type that's a collection of elements, with two principal operations: pop and push. If an answer's longer than 1-2 sentences then it's time to break it apart into different questions.

Modest returns by whose estimates, IDC? And under their functional structure, theoretically Apple is able to shift resources to projects and collaborate better where they need to. If they needed to shift resources from other teams to launch a multibillion dollar Smartwatch business, that's great, you won't hear shareholders complaining. Keep in mind in the last 9 years Apple has launched/revived 3 multibillion dollar hardware industries - Smartphones, Smartwatches & Tablets. Google meanwhile, is struggling to launch a billion dollar business with $1B+ revenue potential like they have in their cashcow in search advertising. Heck how long have they been at it with their "other bets" now and its still a big money loser?

Agreed. On top of that Netflix is by far the best platform for Marvel superheroes. Daredevil, Jessica Jones and now Luke Cage are quality shows that would not work as well on TV and IMO have been far more enjoyable than most Marvel movies. The extra 10 hours for these tv series afford writers an opportunity to build better villains, examine more themes and more surprises.

Employee #1: Apple 10 years ago

It was released on YouTube 2 years before his death. They haven't aired it as a commercial on tv at all

Ironically, by doing a hard pull, you're hurting my credit slightly, which is against your stated mission.

Some of the appeal of the new FinTech startups are that they don't measure customers based off traditional models of risk eval (FICO, etc.) but that they are able to factor in both past and future based on many more data points. I'll keep monitoring Tally and hope in the future you can arrive to this same point.

BTW, I hope you look into marketing to credit card churners. I think they would love your product.

Personally think a decent chunk of SV is not worth emulating. Hoping to see a new city blaze their own trail w/o the drawbacks of SV (gentrification, 0 work-life balance, ratio of men/women, same people talking about the same topics (e.g. "oh you work in tech, too?! How unique")

Agreed. For example, there are too many kickstarter products using unproven science being posted onto PH. Like the laser razer for example. I was shocked when I read the comments in the PH post for that and found people praising and backing the product but not questioning it. Would expect more from a community that claims to be from the smartest hub in the world and is made up of engineers, designers, etc. People need to be saved from themselves sometimes.
