🧵🧵🧵
You use this operator to exclude results if it contains the operand using "-" e.g.
javascript -frameworks
This is a binary operator that returns a result if it contains both operands or one of them e.g.
(angular OR react) javascript tips
This is a binary operator that returns a result containing it's operant on the left and right hand-side e.g.
html AND css
This returns a result if both terms are in the search result.
Use quotation marks to return an exact match in your search result e.g.
python tutorial "full course"
Use the wildcard "*" placeholder to return a search result containing anything in your phrase e.g.
"the * javascript tutorial"
This is probably the most used one. Using "site:
site:https://t.co/c7XaH1z0RU S3
The S3 section of the amazon docs will be returned.
Using "file:
filetype:pdf javascript tutorial
Using "related:
related:https://t.co/cBQZlrwV0X
Using "cache:
cache:https://t.co/DJSbcG5Khv
A webpage indexed by Google will have a cached version available on Google's end.
Using "intitle:
intitle:best vscode extensions
This is a specifier that returns results containing its operant in the URL e.g.
python inurl:tutorial
This will display the meaning of a word in a card-like result e.g.
define:entrepreneur

On Wednesday, The New York Times published a blockbuster report on the failures of Facebook’s management team during the past three years. It's.... not flattering, to say the least. Here are six follow-up questions that merit more investigation. 1/
1) During the past year, most of the anger at Facebook has been directed at Mark Zuckerberg. The question now is whether Sheryl Sandberg, the executive charged with solving Facebook’s hardest problems, has caused a few too many of her own. 2/ https://t.co/DTsc3g0hQf
2) One of the juiciest sentences in @nytimes’ piece involves a research group called Definers Public Affairs, which Facebook hired to look into the funding of the company’s opposition. What other tech company was paying Definers to smear Apple? 3/ https://t.co/DTsc3g0hQf
3) The leadership of the Democratic Party has, generally, supported Facebook over the years. But as public opinion turns against the company, prominent Democrats have started to turn, too. What will that relationship look like now? 4/
4) According to the @nytimes, Facebook worked to paint its critics as anti-Semitic, while simultaneously working to spread the idea that George Soros was supporting its critics—a classic tactic of anti-Semitic conspiracy theorists. What exactly were they trying to do there? 5/

I’m torn on how to approach the idea of luck. I’m the first to admit that I am one of the luckiest people on the planet. To be born into a prosperous American family in 1960 with smart parents is to start life on third base. The odds against my very existence are astronomical.
I’ve always felt that the luckiest people I know had a talent for recognizing circumstances, not of their own making, that were conducive to a favorable outcome and their ability to quickly take advantage of them.
In other words, dumb luck was just that, it required no awareness on the person’s part, whereas “smart” luck involved awareness followed by action before the circumstances changed.
So, was I “lucky” to be born when I was—nothing I had any control over—and that I came of age just as huge databases and computers were advancing to the point where I could use those tools to write “What Works on Wall Street?” Absolutely.
Was I lucky to start my stock market investments near the peak of interest rates which allowed me to spend the majority of my adult life in a falling rate environment? Yup.

"Luck is the flip side of risk. They are mirrored cousins, driven by the same thing: You are one person in a 7 billion player game, and the accidental impact of other people\u2019s actions can be more consequential than your own."
