Because the machines already know everything?

Because you can run 99.99% of businesses with really crappy macro-less excel. So you need to be an incredible sales guy to sell what they don't need.

Because it is all smoke and mirrors and clients realize that

Ok I lied. What PwC 1 said. But I get your desire to get it on the resume so you can flip it for an interview at a big tech firm.

K1 Do you mean all ML is smoke and mirrors? Or just when consultants try to infuse ML in short term management projects like our work typically requires? Because if ML itself was bogus a lot of top tech companies wouldn't exist, are they faking ML?! 🙃

E2 Gotcha, thx

About to be a new dad. Starting to look into childcare but feeling a little overwhelmed. Would love to hear thoughts/opinions on what to look for besides convenience.

Curious about thoughts on on discount points (I think I’ve already read every article on Google). I am refinancing my personal residence (future rental) as well as a rental property. The mortgage brokers discourage me from spending a ton on points (rolled in, not up front). In some cases, it’s a 16 year break even. I get that’s a very long time to break even, but I have no intention of getting rid of the properties and doubt rates will drop much below current. Max breakeven point for you?
