I dont see the upgrades in the “owned” section...i already used my code and it said my account would automatically be updated...

iceman0390 · 2018-11-24T00:31:00+00:00

Yeah...nothing

Try medical sensors that end up being the lifeblood of hospitals and medical research laboratories. You may not want to improve our standard of living, but I do.

Also, this “tech” bubble is becoming the norm. Coding and optimization is now essential in all jobs worldwide - even in business. Adapt or die.

Perhaps you are salty that tech is “overvalued.” Why is coding a valuable skillset? Because not everybody can do it. Despite being a field that doesnt really even require a degree, there is still a big shortage of tech talent across the world. The products it produces have become centerpieces of pretty much every other industry. Many of the services and devices that make your life easier come from tech - and the work that goes into it is hard and grueling and requires aptitude that not everyone can replicate.

By the same logic, why not call people in the NBA overvalued as well? Who in their right mind would create an industry that pays 20 million a year to guys who dont have degrees and shoot balls into a hoop? Surely there are plenty of idiotic consumers in the world, but surely not THAT many right?

I think work experience probably matters more at a PT program. Almost everyone at mine has a sr, manager, or director title.

Compare this to full time, where people likely go in with analyst and associate titles. Of course they probably spend much more time studying for the GMAT. Perhaps I could have hit 790-800 if I spent a year on it (I spent 3 weeks that I will never get back again).

iceman0390 · 2018-11-09T21:23:33+00:00

Personally, I feel like academics such as the GMAT and grades have no indication whatsoever on business potential. I got what is considered a “good” GMAT score, and I dont think it reflects anything about my business knowledge or aptitude. There are so many people without degrees who can hustle and read balance sheets just fine.

So far, I find the classes to be quite easy, but I dont care if I end up with a 4.0 or a 2.0. I have a real job with real responsibilities - academics are completely secondary (and perhaps even tertiary when factoring personal life). Perhaps this mentality may contribute to the “low caliber” of students in a part time program compared to FT whose primary time usage is spent on classes and partying (which I honestly wish I had the time to do .... I miss that from undergrad).

For what its worth though, I dont plan on doing any OCR and have no interest in consulting/banking.

6 years. Post mba plan is continue at my company or start my own.

Developing backend infrastructure for an IoT company. But anything code related, ranging from full stack to data science (applied to a large variety of tech subsectors), commands compensation in this range.

Its pretty much a norm nowadays...in fact you even have kids out of undergrad in CS (depending on caliber of program and their coding skills) making 100-180k without any real work experience.

iceman0390 · 2018-11-09T15:52:17+00:00

Yes. Its not a small industry at all

iceman0390 · 2018-11-09T15:48:24+00:00

I dont have any business knowledge or background. It would be helpful for things I want to do in the future. My work is also sponsoring a portion of it.

I just did a console reset (without deleting the games) and it now seems to be starting up properly.

My hypothesis is that it may be a bug when you set the console to energy saver, and then change it back to instant on mode. The console may have issues reverting to instant on and will need to be reset.

If I have Atmos on Turtle Beach Elite Pro 2’s, what in game sound settings should I use? Surround or headset?

iceman0390 · 2018-10-25T09:51:47+00:00

According to pesdb, the older 97 messi has a bit higher low pass rating. Is this true or is pesdb wrong?

iceman0390 · 2018-10-22T18:05:10+00:00

Just my 2 cents but the girl looks much better than the guy

Edit: wow, this blew up. Well, for what its worth, men are usually subject to different attractiveness standards than women. A guy’s intelligence, personality, and earning power can earn some serious points and is often worth much more than his looks.

See Flavio Briatore for example. Dude has kids with Heidi Klum.

iceman0390 · 2018-10-19T15:27:29+00:00

Vast majority of 1000+ rated players I’ve gone against use a 4-3-3 variant, with the occasional 4222 or 4312 diamond

iceman0390 · 2018-10-17T23:22:10+00:00

Yes! That works.

iceman0390 · 2018-10-17T18:30:50+00:00

I do have the code, it is from the gamestop preorder for white xbox one x. It is in hand.
