I don't know I'd measure it, but if someone can provide a good measure, I'd be willing to bet against wfh increasing productivity. I have a feeling a lot of value is created during casual lunch conversations.

At least they read the abstract! I can't really determine what the right cost/benefit trade-off here. Reading beyond the abstract is rather time consuming and is not something I can afford for every paper.

As a student who recently spent their savings on a Macbook 16 inch, just to have it stolen shortly after I really would have preferred selling it for cash would not have been an option for the thiefs. in the same manner, I gladly would have

As someone who understands little about quantum computing, why is quantum volume not a good measure? I'd be thankful to better understand better what parts of the complicated system is lost in the measure.

That's a really interesting observation. My knowledge on the history of finance is woefully inadequate, but stocks seem to be another concept that was popularized very late.

This is a hard lesson I had to learn as a junior developer. I'm impatient and Stack overflow can often give me an easy solution. But just as often, it can't and I will spend 30 minutes unproductively trying things with little pro

Happy to hear I'm not the only one experiencing those freezes! It's embarrassing how long its taking apple to fix this. Apple's audio doesn't exactly treat me well either. It feels like we're starting to reach a poi

My experience has been quite different from yours, so I figured I'd share mine as well. - Yep touchbar just sucks, I've spent too much time messing around with with the default version, bettertouchtool, and pock, and I cannot find

Tangentially, I've been extremely frustrated with that. From the firebase page, you can only create a 'firebase function' using node.js. If you instead go to the google cloud page, you can create a 'cloud function'

Viewed in isolation I don't think it is either. In a society that in practice completely disregards the moral status of non-human animals, I don't think the scientists are acting out of line. They are doing negligibly more harm th

When surveyed, most people respond that the meat they buy is ethically sourced but it is rarely the case. Most meat that is claimed to be ethically sourced is far from it. Worse yet, the places where demand is growing the fastest, are place

I've installed and uninstalled reddit maybe 7 times in the last year, and even when I don't have it installed I still visit it from my browser. For my Firefox desktop I have written 5 extensions that blocks websites in various way

These are the predictions that I think go against the norm, where I think it's most likely someone would take up a bet with me. Otherwise it would just be a list of "things largely stay the same, and things people predict will hap

For the overtones put your tongue somewhere between an L and an R sound. Then move around your lips to create different o shapes while humming. Move around your tongue slightly in different ways as well. At some point you'll accidently

Hmm, I see it somewhat oppositely. I find that most books are bloated and spend most pages regurgitating information I already know, where blog posts tend to present only the novel information, using hyperlinks to link to information requir

I watch CGTN, while it's definitely pro china, I still find it to be by far the most valuable news television. It focuses on Africa and Asia, which I otherwise hear very little about. The value of the news for me is mostly not whatever

While I take a lot of issues with the article itself, I concur the core message completely due to having done the experiment myself. Two months ago I gave up my phone for a week, for a class on ethics along with a single other student. Not

And then we beat you up for deliberately sabotaging our investigation. If you didn't have anything to hide why would you wipe your phone? Clearly you must be a spy or worse so we have no choice but to send you to the re-education camp.

Do you run at a high or slow pace? I find myself unable to focus on my audiobooks while running once the pace is high enough. I imagine all I would be thinking of while running without content to distract me would be the number of the miles

I see I didn't articulate myself clearly. I later confirmed it, by carrying a co2 monitor with me and noticing every time I get that type of headache, it's because the co2 was too high. The device I'm building will be attacke

In my defense I was a teenager! Whether my choices were wise is not too important. What's important is that I almost failed mathematics because of my poor choices. If every other teenager makes equally stupid choices, causing them to n

I didn't test it back then, it was only much later I made the connection when I started getting the same headaches from university, where I got proper sleep, enjoyed the coursework etc. A co2 monitor confirmed my suspicion. The problem

Lack of sleep was definitely the cause of my terrible grades in highschool mathematics. I would stay up late (1-2 am) to play in starcraft tournaments, to have 8 am classes in mathematics. (There's a neat inverse correlation between my

Yeah, I was mostly thinking in the context of a junior role. Generally bullshitting of any kind will be caught out. My point is not that someone could bullshit their way through an interview of this style. It's rather that I think it u
