Regardless Jimmy Hendrix is considered the greatest guitarist of all time. |
Instruction:
What is an RSU?
Response:
A restricted stock unit or RSU is the right to receive a share of common stock (or an equivalent value in cash) upon certain vesting conditions.
Following satisfaction of certain vesting conditions, the company would deliver to the holder of the RSUs whole shares of common stock, cash or a combination of common stock and cash. RSUs generally vest when two conditions are met - a service vest period has been satisfied, and an exit liquidity event has occurred prior to the expiration date of the RSUs.
Some companies also require the individuals to be employed at or providing services to the company upon satisfaction of the exit liquidity event.
At this time, the RSUs will be settled and taxes will be owed on the full value of the settled shares (or cash) at regular compensation tax rates (based on the fair market value of the common stock at the time of settlement).
Unlike options, RSUs have value even if the value of the company declines (since there is no exercise price to pay), but still provide upside based on the company’s results over time. Because there is no exercise payment required, a grant of RSUs usually consists of a smaller number of shares than a grant of options. |

Instruction:
How do I know if I am in love?
Response:
Love is different for everyone. And there are different stages to the journey of love of a partner. Love starts heavy and passionate and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. |

Give me a one line summary of the story below:
A long long time ago the Queen of Odisha heard that there was a master stone sculptor who made such stunning statues of the gods that people would weep from happiness at the beauty of the statues if they saw them. One summer day, while resting indolently with the King in the main hall of the royal palace, the Queen suddenly had a thought. "How nice it would be, King, if we could build some beautiful statutes of Lord Jagannath so that the people can come worship Jagannath, Balabhadra, and Subadhra. What do you think?"
The King thought for a few minutes, and then nodded in agreement. "What do you have in mind, my Queen?" And so, soon the stone sculptor was summoned to appear before the Court for an appointment to build in his way the statutes of the gods. Soon the monsoon season started and the sculptor appeared in front of the court, awaiting his appointment. He was a humble man from the mountainous regions of Odisha. Even at his best-dressed, one couldn't help but notice his rough hands, and the small sprinkling of dust that seemed ever present in his hair.
The King and Queen graciously waited as the sculptor bowed and then asked "Your majesties, what can I do for you?" The Queen leaned forward in her throne and her voice rang out in the court "We have heard, o Master Sculptor, of your skills from people far and wide across the Kingdom. We dream of having you put your skills to use to build beautiful statues that will represent Lord Jagannath, Subhadra, and Balabhadra for our people to worship."
The sculptor was silent. As his silence extended, ministers of the court began to feel restless. "Speak up! How can you be silent when the Queen graces you so!" But still, the sculptor was silent.
The King and Queen sat patiently in their thrones as they waited for the sculptor to respond. Perhaps the enormity of the task was too much. Perhaps, the sculptor was thinking of what he should ask for in return. Or even more, perhaps, the sculptor was awed and honored by the request.
At last, as the shadows from the late afternoon sun began to stretch across the floors of the hall, the sculptor shifted his weight, and opened his mouth to speak. "Your majesties, you grace me with such a request, I cannot help but oblige. It is an honor." At this, the Queen sat as straight as a rod, listening for the words that would come next. "But, I can do this on one condition only. I will work in a closed hall, where none may enter - regardless of whether they can hear me working or otherwise. None may enter until I open the doors from within and proclaim to all that the statues are completed."
The ministers gasped - what a strange request from this man. Was he a fool? What if he just slept and ate and didn't do any work? How could the King and Queen trust that he would do the work he was promising to do? The Queen looked on thoughtfully. She glanced at the King, and it seemed to her that he agreed on this condition without reservation. She looked at the sculptor and then nodded her assent. "We decree that you shall build these statues in a hall set aside, into which no one shall enter until your work is complete and you proclaim that to us after opening the doors of the hall from within."
Response:
An Odia sculptor successfully bargains with the King and Queen to build statutes for Jagannath, Balabhadra, and Subhadra, without any disturbances or interruptions, until the sculptor is ready to state that the statues are complete. |
Instruction:
How is the white color created?
Response:
The color white is created when all colors in the visible spectrum are combined in equal amounts. This can be seen in a prism or a rainbow, where sunlight is separated into its component colors. When all these colors are combined, the result is white light.
In terms of pigments, white can be created by using a substance that reflects all colors and absorbs none. This means that when white light hits the surface of the object, it is reflected back to the viewer as white. Titanium dioxide is a common pigment used in white paint, for example, because it is highly reflective and opaque.
In the digital world, white is often created by using RGB color values of 255, 255, 255, which means that all three primary colors (red, green, and blue) are at their maximum intensity. This creates a pure white color on electronic displays. |

Instruction:
Is pizza a healthy food or junk food?
Response:
Pizza is very popular and each restaurant or chef or cook has their own spin on pizza. The way I love to eat pizza, I think is healthy. I enjoy a freshly made crust with made from scratch tomato sauce with fresh garlic and basil. I also think mozzarella and lots of vegetables bring a lot of taste to the pizza pie. On occasion I will crave a pepperoni and mushroom pizza by the slice. Based on the grease on top of the pizza and the high carb and fat counts, I am sure many would consider this type of pizza junk food. I choose to think it's dairy, grains and vegetables and of course delicious. I think I should make pizza tonight! |

Instruction:
Is it faster to take the subway or drive a car?
Response:
Sometimes it is faster to take the subway and sometimes it is faster to drive a car. The answer for any particular trip primarily depends on the origin and destination of the trip. If the origin and destination are both near a subway station, then it is often faster to take the subway, especially if there is a lot of automobile traffic on the roads and you do not need to connect between subway lines. But if either the origin or destination, or both, are far from a subway station, then the total time for the trip may be dominated by the time it takes to get to and from the subway station on either or both ends of the journey; this may add enough time to the time spent on the subway so that the total trip end-to-end takes longer than driving the whole way. |

Instruction:
why are lot of the women more structured and methodical in work, compared to men
Response:
many studies have been conducted to support that women have better organisational skills then men. This trait is also evident outside workplaces at home where women are generally the ones who organise things at home compared to their male counterpart. Organising and being methodical helps in being efficient and do multi tasking better. As more and more women are entering workforce, they continue to take the bigger share of the responsibility of home weather it child care, or home maintenance. In order to manage these women generally spend their time planning and organising things and executing the plan which helps them multi task. This is also the reason why women tend to clock required work hours as they have responsibilities outside work as well, so they have to be efficient in getting things done in 8 hours which men are generally more free to take longer hours to complete. |

Write a review of Brandon Sanderson's book, The Hero of Ages
Response:
Sanderson neatly ties together loose ends in a gripping end to the trilogy. Overall, the book was largely plot driven. By now Vinn and co are well developed characters, and don't change as much. Sazed has an existential crisis though, which is interesting. Instead, Sanderson focuses on their struggle against a crazy antagonist and slowly dribbles out the last few mysteries of the world they live in. |

What are a few ways that I can keep my house cool when it is hot in the summer?
Response:
Here are a few thoughts on how you could keep your house cool when it is hot in the summer. First, you could draw all of your blinds and shades and keep the house as dark as possible. Second, you could open the windows to let in a cool breeze if one is available. You could also turn on a fan to circulate the air. If these or a combination of these ideas are not working, then you could turn on the air conditioning. |
Instruction:
What are the key steps for building a an in ground pool?
Response:
Pre-construction site meeting - Before starting the construction of your pool, schedule a pre-construction site meeting. With a design consultant present, a site supervisor will review the plans and inspect your yard to ensure no modifications to the design are required.
Excavation - The hole is dug and excess dirt is removed or dropped. The hole will be slightly larger and deeper than the finished pool, as the pool wall and bottom will take up some of this area.
Form & Steel - Now that the pool has been dug, the hole is with reinforced with “steel rebar” to add the strength required for your pool.
City Inspections - After installing the steel rebar, an inspector will review your pool plans and inspect the job site to make sure everything is up to code.
Gunite - Crews will spray / apply the concrete that makes up your pool’s shell and steps. If your pool design includes any swim-outs, fountains, or a gunite spa, those elements will be part of this phase as well.
Backfill & grade - Once the gunite is dried, it’s time to start backfilling around the walls and braces. The material from excavation is used to fill in the space between the newly constructed shell of the pool and the rest of the backyard.
Plumbing Installation & Inspection - Plumbing crews begin installation, and dig trenches to lay pipe from your pool to the pool equipment. Any pipes for water features such as sprays, fountains, or rock falls will be installed, along with pool return lines and skimmer(s). After the plumbing installation, the city will inspect the work completed.
Site Grade - Prior to placing the decking, the construction crew will level out and compact the sub-base preparing for the patio.
Tile & Coping Installation - Tile crews will install your pool’s waterline tile and coping. Additional work may also be performed during this phase by a different set of crews if rock is used in your pool’s design. If your pool design requires a retaining wall at the edge of any part of your deck, it will be constructed at this time.
Deck Installation - Crews will form the shape and sand your deck and any planter areas. After this process is complete chosen rock or tile finish is applied.
Electrical - Pre-Electrical Equipment Hook Up: Installing your pool pump, filter, and gas heater (if applicable). Run the conduit for the main electric supply used by your pool equipment. They will also install lighting and any wiring necessary for your pool. City inspection at this time as well.
Screening - If you opted in for a screen, footers are poured and screen is constructed.
Pool Plaster - Prepare the concrete surface of your swimming pool, and then apply your pool’s finish and fill the pool with water – finishes cured underwater. The water will need to stay on once it is started, without interruption, until your pool is full. Your pool will be considered completely full once the water reaches halfway up the tile line (middle of your waterline tile).
Clean up & inspection - During this phase, remove any trash that was created during the construction of your pool, and also complete the final grade of your yard. In most communities, an inspector from your city will inspect your pool area to ensure it is safe to use and everything has been properly completed.
Pool School - When the pool is balanced a Service Department will contact you to schedule an orientation. This orientation will answer any questions you may have about your new pool, as well as show you how to properly use your pool equipment.

If you are a carnivore, perhaps you might enjoy a steak or chicken dinner with a side or asparagus and a baked potato that has a knob of butter on top! Other common dinner options include pasta, burgers, quesadillas, poke bowls, sushi, Mediterranean kebabs, falafel sandwiches, soup, etc. |
Instruction:
What is genome analysis?
Response:
The genome sequence of an organism includes the collective DNA sequences of each chromosome in the organism. For a bacterium containing a single chromosome, a genome project will aim to map the sequence of that chromosome. For the human species, whose genome includes 22 pairs of autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes, a complete genome sequence will involve 46 separate chromosome sequences.
The Human Genome Project is a well known example of a genome project.
Genome assembly refers to the process of taking a large number of short DNA sequences and reassembling them to create a representation of the original chromosomes from which the DNA originated. In a shotgun sequencing project, all the DNA from a source (usually a single organism, anything from a bacterium to a mammal) is first fractured into millions of small pieces. These pieces are then "read" by automated sequencing machines. A genome assembly algorithm works by taking all the pieces and aligning them to one another, and detecting all places where two of the short sequences, or reads, overlap. These overlapping reads can be merged, and the process continues.
Genome assembly is a very difficult computational problem, made more difficult because many genomes contain large numbers of identical sequences, known as repeats. These repeats can be thousands of nucleotides long, and occur different locations, especially in the large genomes of plants and animals.
The resulting (draft) genome sequence is produced by combining the information sequenced contigs and then employing linking information to create scaffolds. Scaffolds are positioned along the physical map of the chromosomes creating a "golden path".
Originally, most large-scale DNA sequencing centers developed their own software for assembling the sequences that they produced. However, this has changed as the software has grown more complex and as the number of sequencing centers has increased. An example of such assembler Short Oligonucleotide Analysis Package developed by BGI for de novo assembly of human-sized genomes, alignment, SNP detection, resequencing, indel finding, and structural variation analysis.
Since the 1980s, molecular biology and bioinformatics have created the need for DNA annotation. DNA annotation or genome annotation is the process of identifying attaching biological information to sequences , and particularly in identifying the locations of genes and determining what those genes do.
When sequencing a genome, there are usually regions that are difficult to sequence (often regions with highly repetitive DNA). Thus, 'completed' genome sequences are rarely ever complete, and terms such as 'working draft' or 'essentially complete' have been used to more accurately describe the status of such genome projects. Even when every base pair of a genome sequence has been determined, there are still likely to be errors present because DNA sequencing is not a completely accurate process. It could also be argued that a complete genome project should include the sequences of mitochondria and (for plants) chloroplasts as these organelles have their own genomes.
It is often reported that the goal of sequencing a genome is to obtain information about the complete set of genes in that particular genome sequence. The proportion of a genome that encodes for genes may be very small (particularly in eukaryotes such as humans, where coding DNA may only account for a few percent of the entire sequence). However, it is not always possible (or desirable) to only sequence the coding regions separately. Also, as scientists understand more about the role of this noncoding DNA (often referred to as junk DNA), it will become more important to have a complete genome sequence as a background to understanding the genetics and biology of any given organism.
In many ways genome projects do not confine themselves to only determining a DNA sequence of an organism. Such projects may also include gene prediction to find out where the genes are in a genome, and what those genes do. There may also be related projects to sequence ESTs or mRNAs to help find out where the genes actually are. |

How do I get better at the game of golf?
Response:
Golf is a game that originated in the 15th century, and to this day, is still being iterated on. Although there have been many different swing styles over the years, there are fundamentals to playing the game that when followed, have produced the most successful golfers.
Building a strong golf foundation using 4 key principles is key to improving at the game of golf which are: aligning your expectations to reality, applying an effective on course strategy, practicing correctly, and, building a sharp mental game.
By aligning your expectations to the reality of how you are playing, you allow your mind to accept the good with the bad which allows for a more free and easy playing style, often leading to better play.
Applying an effective course strategy will allow you to score better as you know where you can make up strokes on your competitors. For example, driving distance off the tee paired with greens in regulation play a crucial role in scoring, as opposed to putting whereas you have a 20 foot putt compared to a 40 foot putt, your make percentages are both low.
Learning how to practice correctly can also improve your on course scoring as most approach practice incorrectly. Zombie range sessions have become the norm, but rarely in golf do you have the same shot twice in a row. Implement that same theory on the driving range so you have more of a feel of what on course play will feel like.
Finally, in order to improve your scoring, you need to build a sharp mental game while you play. This includes visualizing your shot before you hit it, being able to clear your head of all unwanted thoughts other than the shot you want to hit, and implementing a pre shot routine that is easily replicable.
By applying these core 4 strategies, you should see your golf scores decrease without any significant change in your actual swing. |

Discuss ways in which brands in your industry (or industry of your choice) could benefit from the web's gift to measurement: "the ability to fail faster. At a low cost." Provide at least one example supporting your ideas
Response:
Kia Carnival is a new MPV (multi-purpose vehicle) 7-seater minivan directly competing with the industry leaders like Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna, and Chrysler Pacifica. Kia Carnival faces an uphill battle against the industry leader to gain market share. Kia Carnival can perform a small, low-cost experiment to measure consumer outcomes, customer value, and attribution to increase sales and optimize its spending on digital marketing.
The minivan buyers typically visit the Kia Carnival website, engage in a vehicle build configurator, and perform inventory checks to get an overview of the vehicle and price. Post this, the buyers will check YouTube videos and Twitter reviews and visit a Kia dealership store if the buyer shortlists Carnival.
Kia can start measuring the micro-conversions along the buyer journey by tracking the website page views; car configuration clicks, inventory views, and video views on the Kia YouTube channel. These data points can be fed to a lightweight MTA model to determine consumer insights. Do insights include how well the buyer understood the features and differentiation of Kia Carnival? Salient aspects of the car etc. will equip the Kia salesperson with customer intelligence.
Kia can leverage a 3rd party provider like Nielsen to collect and find insights from the web analytics data. Kia can “fail fast at a low cost” with this model, and if the model is successful, Kia can scale it to its other lines of products. |

Why do people try to reach the top of Mount Everest?
Response:
Reaching the summit of Mount Everest presents a challenge few can actually achieve. The summit is the highest point on Earth and is located within the "death zone" at an altitude of 29,000 feet, where no human life can survive sustained periods of time. Most lack the technical climbing skills necessary to reach the summit, of those who attempt it, 4% die on the mountain which is littered with corpses as the bodies cannot be easily removed. Expeditions are also cost prohibitive, in total they can cost over $100,000 and that does not guarantee summiting nor surviving. Because of all this, most put summiting Everest near the top of most difficult feats a person can accomplish, only about 6,000 people have done it as of 2023. |

Response:

- Lombard Street – also popular as the zig zag street among tourists, San Francisco is very hilly and the city makes the most of it; Enjoy this one of a kind street in the world where a very zig zag steep street, rustling with flowers and beautiful landscaping in the summer, developed as a tourist must see. There are multiple ways to get there - get on the famous trams/cable car, walk up to it, ride a scooter or one of the buggies famous in SF
- Alcatraz and Pier 39 - these are absolutely touristy places, folks might enjoy the boat ride and stroll an easy evening on Pier 39. Beware, you will find all the same shops that you will find at Navy Pier in Chicago too.

Instruction:
What is the best way to prep concrete before applying epoxy?
Response:
There are several ways to prepare concrete before applying an epoxy coating. Preparation ensures that the appropriate texture has been introduced to the top layer of the concrete and helps the epoxy to bond with the concrete better. This ensures long-lasting results. All of these different methods of preparing concrete vary in terms of the level of difficulty as well as the efficacy produced. Following are the most popular techniques:
1. Acid Etching: This is the most DIY friendly option & involves the use of an acid that is allowed to rest for some time over the concrete surface and then cleaned after a few minutes. This is also the quickest among all the techniques. The downside however is that the etching process may not produce the best concrete texture that ensures a long-lasting bond.
2. Walk-behind Concrete Diamond grinder: This produces one of the best results when compared to the other techniques. It involves the use of a walk behind concrete grinder which has been fitted with a diamond grinding attachment. The disadvantage of this method is that it requires specialized equipment which may not be readily available & is a lot more time consuming compared to Acid etching.
3. Hand Grinder with Diamond Cup Wheel: This is the most accessible option that yields results that are equivalent to using a walk-behind concrete grinder. The only drawback of this approach is that this is the most time consuming compared to other methods and is only practical for covering small areas. |

How can one find time to do everything effectively in life?
Response:
We feel 100% occupied with varied number of things that we are engaged with in life. And when we look closely, this doesn't really take a lot of tasks usually.
If you notice, you will realize that one can get (or feel like) totally busy with any amount of tasks and when multi-tasking and juggling between different things, the effectiveness of the work depends on how one is able to complete individual pieces with their utmost focus. When one is focussed on their work, distractions are the one of hinderances that comes in the path of effectiveness of a task. Distractions could come in the form of phone calls, emails, requests over online chats, scheduled meetings, someone walking into the workspace for a talk, etc and majority of them result in adding up some kind of work to be performed. While it interrupts one's attention, in the modern ways of operating through life, most of these modes of communication are necessary to function and we need to be prepared for all the distractions that comes our way. Let us look at some of the ways to better handle and succeed in such circumstances:
1. Give our 100% attention to the current task at hand, for however small amount of time it may be, before being distracted.
2. Complete the things that can be done quickly.
3. Retain Context for switching off and back.
4. Maintain, Prioritize and track all pending To-Do's.
5. Set the expectations and commit based on the current To-Do tasks and their priorities.
6. As applicable, not taking up the work that is expected out of someone else. |

Imagine you met an alien last night and write about this in your diary
Response:
Dear Diary,
It was just past midnight when I suddenly heard a loud thump in the backyard yesterday. I mustered some courage to ensure the doors and windows are locked. But I saw something very bright, which made it difficult to stare at it, and then suddenly the lights faded and I saw an alien. I did pinch myself twice to ensure this wasn’t a dream. But then I realised it was not a dream when it was trying to figure out ways to get water from a pipe fixed to a tap and some of it splashed over me. And without my realisation, I was screaming at the top of my voice. Soon my mom came and I was about to explain to her what happened but there was no trace of the alien. Everyone tried to convince me it was a dream, but then I saw my shirt was still a bit wet from the water that had splashed.
Regards,

How do I make Aioli?
Response:
First, blend combine 1 egg plus 1 egg yolk, two grated garlic cloves, juice from half a lemon, a tablespoon of dijon mustard, a small pinch of saffron, a pinch of salt and pinch of ground black pepper.
Then, mix 1/4 cup of olive oil and 1 cup of grapeseed oil together then very slowly stream in the oils whilst continuously whisking hard. If you add the oil in too quickly, it will not emulsify so do it slowly. Once it’s all incorporated, you’ll be rewarded with thick, creamy aioli!
Finally, taste it and if it needs further acid, add a teaspoon of white wine vinegar.
Enjoy! |
