What you just described is an example of imposter syndrome (at least the way I think of it). The comment I was responding to was not. If the lawyer feels like an imposter in her current role, that's different from feeling like an impo

You can call it whatever you want, but if the description doesn't fit I think it's fair to say it's at best a poor label. And it will always lead to confusion when just trying to communicate something. Why not just call a s

This is completely unethical and unreasonable. It's like arguing that police don't need more accountability because it makes it harder for them to do their jobs, and most of them aren't bad people, so who cares about a few b

How many years does it take a team of 10 to get to their 100th hire? If they only replace 1 person a year, ~100 interviews a year sounds pretty normal to me (it actually sounds low compared to where I last worked where I sometimes intervie

The simulated contacts are when Waymo investigates what happens after a driver disengages and concludes they would have had a collision, not the actual contacts measured from simulation. I know, confusing right?

Well, a lot of the turmoil in the Middle East is at least partially (I'd argue mostly) to blame because of the US. Al Qaeda was trained by the CIA. I think it's relatively accepted that there were no WMDs in Iraq, so that entire

That's certainly part of it. But I think it's also the same reason Kodak invented the digital camera and then ignored it. It was more profitable to keep doing what they were doing, and they were so invested in it. The automobile
