All opinions are solely mine and do not reflect any employer's.


  1. Looks heavily inspired by Wealthsimple
  2. Currently a sweet spot with Steam games if you price them correctly to the value they bring.

    I'm working on a very simple incremental game that has exploded in popularity called, A Game About Feeding A Black Hole.

  3. Was going to reply the same thing.

    I buy 1 mg tablets and even that is too much for me. I use a razor blade to cut them into 1/6th pieces.

    Takes less than 30 minutes to kick in.

    A lot of other comments here about poor sleep I believe are the result of drinking caffeinated products past 1 PM.

  4. Don't say that too loud of Trump might want them next after Greenland & Canada.
  5. Hey, looked at careers, but didn't see anything that fits well.

    If you're still looking at expanding eng leadership I'd be interested in chatting.

  6. Look at the NDP party this last term for their true colors. A leader who in his own words votes against a no-confidence vote made up of his very own words. Is an equal partner in every decision the liberal government made this term with their coalition.

    A wolf in sheep disguise. I didn't want PP to be the next prime minister for comments in parent of the thread, but who else is going to win this running now?

  7. Why does everyone have to suffer at the hands of a few?

    Overwhelmingly Canadian's wanted the vehicles removed - I recall no public empathy. If not, there would have been overwhelming public outcry and a follow up larger movement protest that would have called for no-confidence motion in that moment.

  8. The disclosure should be outside the phone conversation prior to funds transferring.

    Send them to confirmation who should have a process of, we're sending you the email now where you enter you make an account and enter payment details. Stay on the phone with them while they do it to avoid drop off rates. During the account creation is the disclosures.

  9. I don't know how this is not market manipulation.

    Has anyone ever been contacted by these companies when they're doing their "research"? They're usually upfront negative about the company, "We believe this company to be a fraud. Con. Disrespectful and evil place.", then they spam every available ex-employee they can scrap from LinkedIn and then the subset that respond are the disgruntled burn the company to the ground kind.

    I've seen even employees make factually incorrect statements about their employer because they didn't understand or they wanted to rumour spread.

  10. They're also banking on scale to PPA with a specific amendment for egress.
  11. Every platform has problems.

    Not being a US citizen or living in the US I can still understand how the upcoming president was elected - regardless of how one feels politically about if they should or should not have been.

    Reddit has become an extreme echo chamber of a particular ideology to the point I find myself even with agreement on many points leaning the other way out of the exhaustion of the echo chamber. It feels like some amount embrace, get off on the echo chamber and then there are others (myself?) who get so sick of the constant echo chamber end up being just opposed to engaging even in things we normally would support.

    It's not a perfect analogy, but it reminds me of kids who left to their own free will, will eat boat loads of candy to the point of being sick of candy and don't want it anymore even though they did/do enjoy candy they're simply maxed out on having it.

  12. Noted, the TTC website did not appear to cover all incidents and injuries related to all vehicle incident as compared with the motorists stats.

    It looks to just focus on homicide safety stats.

  13. Based upon?

    Looked through the thread and it looks asserted but I don't see the counter not true point.

  14. Could you possibly read the article you're replying to again?

    Even skimming through it discusses the coverage of wind and a not 50/50 system particularly to cover winter & night time. There is also discussion of a ~2% from "other" and how much storage capacity is required.

    The article even goes into using wind & solar data for the simulation and reducing further the output to be conservative.

  15. In this context, what is a "modern grid"?
  16. Noted, while I appreciate the citation it isn't entirely correct.

    How many of those are Uber specifically with passengers? Why this specific? Because Uber has a ranking system and my gut feels says anything with a ranking system that has tons of feedback weeds out bad drivers.

    The other portions of my comments is psychological safety, how many times do individuals get in an Uber and feel unsafe vs being in the TTC?

    How many times do individuals take an Uber service, are crammed and with a driver that smells? Even if I got a ride like that I know the market system will remove that driver.

    If you told me the TTC required an identification card to enter onto and TTC could suspend/revoke access I'd go back because there would be a regulating system to remove behavior that riders don't want.

  17. I used to live in Toronto in 2019 to 2020 and used the transit exclusively.

    I return as a visitor of Toronto every quarter for work and there are many times where I Uber instead of TTC because of these comments. Even slightly busy at 4-5 PM there's always folks who have hit the gym and skipped showering and most days there's "something" happening on the TTC.

  18. That is possible, or hit break even. You'd be surprised how quickly a company can go from -50% margins to positive margins when their job is on the line.
  19. What a small world, I met Cate back a long time ago when she used to live in Ottawa before her Google stint.

    A kind person with a strong passion and always open to speaking her mind.

  20. $2-5M and 1.5 years of time is all it takes.

    The biggest problem is getting everyone aligned, designing a plan with minimal rework, and being able to hire incredible talent that is going to cost far more than most companies are willing to accept.

    For most companies they'll try with their existing talent and it'll be +5 years and an absolute failure.
