Their website looks like a poorly designed lifestyle blog

Montessori from age 6 to 15.

- Self paced learning and choosing how to spend your time

- Need to collaborate with your peers on scarce resources (everyone can't read the same book / solve the same challenge at the same time)

- Small classes, no one could get away with anything/bullying

- Responsibility for completing the weekly plan yourself and being rewarded for hard work ("the diligence light is well lit" sticker you got when sharing your weekly progress - sry poorly translated Swedish"

Three years ago I booked a flight to San Juan (SJU), Puerto Rico by mistake. I was supposed to go to San Jose (SJO) in Costa Rica.

I will never forget the moment I read "SJO" in the email realizing I should have booked a flight to "SJU". Then going into Google, and typing SJO to find out where I was actually flying. I was prepared for it to be in Asia, Africa or anywhere. Luckily, Puerto Rico was just a small detour to Costa Rica (flew from Europe) :-)

Why not run Linux?

I'm young with no kids and appreciate remote work / working from home (up to 3 days a week but not more).

Can exercise when I want during the day, easier to run errands and less frustration of commuting.

Meanwhile, if you ask a pilot today on advice... They will say, get a university degree and look elsewhere than aviation

Audi A5 - still a small wheel in the 2017 model

Interesting, so we might have moved from:

Big, incumbent non-SW company (Kodak example) being challenged by start-up to Big, software incumbent (Salesforce) with massive developer resources being challenged by start-up.

Maybe the strategies need to change - perhaps increasingly partnering with the software incumbents (if you can't beat 'em, join 'em).. Maybe someone can add some insight..?

This is a good start, "Money as debt". Saw it in university and since then you will never take financial markets seriously. And all the "stimulus" we see is just pushing the can forward. You will start to see through a lot of lies.

Absolutely, unfortunately taylorism did follow suit into the world of knowledge workers.

In some hostile work environments like banking this is everywhere. Don't leave before your manager, eat lunch at your desk, look busy and stay in the office as long as you can

And I have to change time everytime my watch has been laying still two days...

Imagine ride-sharing companies bidding for different drivers in real-time where drivers would set their minimum fare.

Yes, having lived in Barcelona for 2 years I can confirm that.

Winter was the best time there

I wonder how many solutions within the AI field could just be categorized as "Automation"

Dogs have owners, cats have staff :)

How about turning those into open source projects? Especially across public organizations who could develop the systems together if they just knew they shared the same needs

I've heard from someone selling security products that some companies prefer to pay ransonware to a hacker, instead of investing in building up their defense and paying for security products

Same here. More often than not, there's people in HN who have experience with a topic and can add perspective (and hopefully an impartial view).

More than ever, we need to tone down the clickbait, put it to perspective, and understand if it's something we should give attention to. HN does this in a quick manner

That's life on the stock market. Owners want a return, dividends or increase in share price. Go private and you can do just as you say

This highlights why golf is such a great sport. Four hours of emotional rollercoaster spent in nature your friends (or other members at your club you just happen to go the round with).

Rather not be alive to see air-cooled, rear-flat-engine Porsche 911's from the 70s go electric

How about veteran cars?

"Buy land, they're not making it anymore"

Totally agree. I remember the first days of Algebra at university and you couldn't understand anything what the teacher was saying. Some freaked out as if they didn't know it now, meant they will never understand it (fixed mindset) and some thought "hell, I don't get it but I'll probably understand it once I studied it for a while (growth mindset).

In high school, smart students can often get away with not studying. In university, your attitude and mindset towards failure and learning becomes much more important.

Careful. CaaS is Containers as a Service :)

Perhaps, but the fact that she works in a bank might reduce her credibility in a science-oriented discussion

Totally agree. It's truly interesting to think how the cloud will evolve (private vs hybrid vs public). Not to forget the shift towards the edge for IoT use-cases (which will grow rapidly in the future)

Really trying to understand what difference it makes that she is a VP
