I think you've got that backwards. Anna is an unabashed capitalist who refuses to criticise even the shadiest goings-on in finance, start-ups etc. Felix and Emily seem to have a good nose for nonsense, like wework.


Well, it looks like we've covered both sides of the arguments :)

I guess my take is somewhere between these two comments. I sometimes hate the way it feels like Anna plays a "contrarian character" no matter what, and yes, Felix and Emily can sometimes be a bit too.. "NPR do-gooder, feel-gooder" for my taste. But I really enjoy the show regardless. It's a saturday morning long-run staple for me.


Vice News did an interesting segment on these kids and Gravel a couple of months ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pU-EDZaV4h4

ETA on Android app release? I'd be very interested to try this out.


Sorry we don't currently have any ETA since we had to learn to code to develop this app, and we decided to focus on iOS development first. We're looking into Android development now but don't want to estimate a time yet since it would be based on little knowledge.


You should try this Mindset app - I suppose it helps with procrastinating but I am on android and slacking off on Hnews;)


I've gotten a fair amount of 100 percents, and most recently a job, for which a lot of the credit goes to ggplot.

The funniest bit is that the non-technical think it's something extremely complicated when in reality, after somewhat of a learning curve, it's more intuitive than plotting in excel.


One of the main reasons I started with R all those years ago is because updating the monthly charts in excel was (manual | time-consuming | boring), but running printing a new batch of ggplots was a piece of cake. I literally arrived for the graphics and stayed for the rest of R.


USAA, a financial institution made by the military community for the military community, has a program called Vetfit = veterans for IT. It puts them through an intensive 14 week bootcamp.

Perhaps there's not enough knowledge about this program but 1/4 of USAA employees (~31,000) are vets.
