Interesting podcast on the topic

I think he meant to say:
We have an expert in this area now.
It’s just the one expert. But he’s damn good. He’s been banging his head all day.
Yep, well put. I love working remotely, but would appreciate once/twice a year having an off-site to get to know some people in the company on a more human level, or so I know who has a dog, so they can send me pics. As you said, during work hours it’s hard to get away from the transactional nature of the conversation.
The other thing I’m always worried about, is when grads join the company. A lot are coming from an environment where they’ve been interacting in person on a daily basis, and now their only interaction is online.
Is this what chaotic good looks like?
You know, I was very much agreeing to OP, until your comment. You make a convincing point.
I think we can all agree that daylight savings needs to die though.

I think Krashen’s “Natural Approach” is the best way to learn. It focuses on consuming comprehensible input (CI) - listening/reading in the foreign language, and making sure you understand around 80%+. The idea would be to start with very easy stories/sentences, and slowly build that up as your vocabulary grows.
Pimsleur & FSI are good resources. Also, try to watch movies/shows that you already have seen in the target language instead (e.g. Friends, The Office, Simpsons). That way, you already have the context, and it will be easier to comprehend.
You need around 100-200hrs of CI to have a basic understanding of the language (maybe you can’t speak, but you can understand basic interactions in the language). At around 400-600hrs, you’ll be intermediate, and after around 800-1000hrs of CI, you’ll be fluent.
Yes, thank you! I hate this constant narrative that back-to-office is always tied to commercial real-estate investments, or that there’s some magical tax incentive.
Usually what you have is: bank lends money to a commercial real estate company that owns the building. Commercial real estate company leases out office space to one or many companies. When those companies reduce or terminate their leases, the commercial real estate company struggles to pay their mortgage and defaults. Commercial real estate loses. Bank loses. And if commercial real estate had pooled investments to fund the building (along with bank loan), then those investors lose as well.
There are some large companies that own their own buildings, but that’s more of an exception.

If the test is standardized, then I’m assuming test prep already exists for it. Your goal should be to pass the test, not to learn Hindi, because one month is wayyyyy too short to learn a language. You might be able to pick up the alphabet, and some common phrases within a month.
Once you’ve passed the test, you can focus on learning Hindi. If you study 4-6hrs a day, then I reckon you could be intermediate in about 6-12mos.
My cousin broke, don’t do shit.
I’m assuming the numbers must include retail stores purchasing the product to sell to their customers too? Or are these direct to consumer numbers only?
Poor grammar on my side.
What I meant to say, is that he has already learned, and is continuing to learn. “Both” wasn’t meant to refer to her.
I think the important thing to remember, is that everyone makes mistakes. It looks like you both have learned, and are willing to learn, from that experience to become a better person.
I don’t think I’ve met anyone that doesn’t cringe about something they’ve done in the past. It’s part of growing up. The fact that you’re facing it is a positive thing that shows maturity.
Everyone deserves love. Don’t be so tough on yourself, man!

If you like horror, I find Stephen King books pretty easy to read. The Mr Mercedes books are worth a read. Then there’s always the show to compare to. Although I guess pretty much every King book has a movie or show.
