I got really scared for a while because I was both suicidal (the idea itself gave me an endorphin rush to think about) and my energy levels were fairly normal / I wasn't showing other symptoms of being depressed. Depression as a m

Out of curiosity, how about hiring masters or bachelors that have substantial projects, but might not qualify as research? It's personal interest, I don't have a degree at all yet, but I understand convolutional neural networks fa

I prefer dumbbells to a regular benchpress, but it's largely because I don't have an exercise partner and I don't want to get trapped underneath a barbell if I can't lift it.

Really? Most people call me something other than my birth name. This is why some forms ask for aliases.

If you don't relax, workout and enjoy the life part of life, then you probably aren't at 100% when you need to be. It isn't explicitly stated, but a lot of people I know agree with me. Some of those people are PhDs, doctors a

Part of that may be Japanese culture; part of that may simply be Nintendo not caring. They do what they want and most of the time they do an excellent job. Their games are so good that too many mobile games might serve more to dilute their

More tech hubs. I'll admit that I don't know enough about housing, but the bay area and Manhattan are both water-restricted in terms of room for housing development and DC has political restrictions on land developmentment as well

Yes. I can find another analogy if you like, but the message is the same.

Tolerance builds so quickly that it literally won't work taken too close together. There aren't physical cravings either. I feel that it could certainly be done too frequently, but it's very resistant to being addictive. I su

It's more like Google says 'yeah, you can hang your art here' then once the walls fill up, burns your artwork, moves out of the house and wont answer your texts. At minimum, artists and other specialty individuals need extra

Acid is a good bit different from drinking though. You won't get addicted.

I do. It just doesn't mean it's true or necessarily a requirement. Nor does it mean the car is better. A better locksmith takes less time to open a door.

Calling it a logical fallacy that a premium car takes longer to build because it is premium.

I don't think remote work is the solution. However; every college in the country has a computer science program and many people are quite talented. Salaries are lower due to cost of living. Code doesn't have to be shipped to a por

Why is the tech industry so big there? I can code from anywhere in the world. Is there something special about the valley?

According to this cost of living calculator from CNN [1] housing in San Francisco is 256% higher than in Austin. Both have good jobs in tech. The argument I've heard against it is that you might have to live farther from the city cente

People justify things in many different ways; it's entirely possible this mentality is because it's further out of reach.

It's a somewhat poor comparison because Venezuela is primarily an oil economy.

So this means I may be able to hook my current fitness band up like a pokemon go plus? I hope it does; worth a try.

Some projects aren't directly profitable, but are important and must be done. Infosec for example. Using this metric, important jobs may not get done.

Housing isnt that much of a problem in most of America. Maybe you have to live farther from the city center, but it's quite affordable. I find HN is a bit focused on San Francisco and New York problems, which are important, but not uni

These companies have a very high rate of false negatives and are often happy to have people reapply next year. Apply to more companies and get as many rejections as you can!
