I've always been confused as to why people are so dissatisfied with airline quality. If what you say is all I care about is price and nothing else matters, then of course your experience is going to be awful as carriers slash everythin

Medicine is definitely more of an established field than web development, that's true. I would say that if you are going to go into medicine you should know what you are getting into. The schooling process is incredibly long and expens

Surface pro has a BIOS interface, it's just stupidly inaccessible. Their design also means that you can't easily install your own copy of windows and are instead stuck pulling down their stupid recovery images whenever you want to

Is there a reason why we couldn't use state IDs for this purpose? We would just have to converge on a standard design, data structure, and set of APIs for access. It would also allow us to issue new ones easily in the event of a proble

I don't see what you gain by doing so other than producing more emotion which isn't particularly helpful. We already have way too much emotion surrounding this word. A nebulous definition makes the problem of terrorism harder to b

> So the same action is called by different names depending on who does it? Exactly. "Terrorism" is just a label to describe the parties involved, not a value judgement. A death is a death whether it's from guerilla warfar

Actually I think it's the focus on large scale attacks that keeps us safe. From a psychological perspective, a series of seemingly random small scale attacks drawn out over several months would be far more devastating and fear inducing

Since I see stuff pop up like this all the time, I may as well write up how I went about cutting from 300+ to 215 lbs and subsequently putting on significant muscle mass and strength while keeping the weight off. Step 1: identify why you wa

If someone told me I had to clock a 8 hour day, come home and do several hours more work, and then do a bunch of menial labor five days a week I would be annoyed too. It is totally reasonable for someone to be irked when they are given no a

I had not read this before and that's a valid point, thanks for sharing. I think I would say two things to this. First, theoretically we could attack the problem from both sides. We could constrain supply in the way that med school pre

It's amazing how much hand wringing is done about the symptoms of problems in academia (especially life sciences) without anyone actually addressing the root causes. The reason all of these problems exist is because the space is over p

The biggest change for me has been partitioning. When it is time to work, I work. No distractions, attack the most important tasks etc. During breaks I will let my attention wander but not during work periods. When I am participating in hob

This is shamefully terrible leadership. If you're the CEO and a subordinate fucks up, it means you fucked up. At the end of the day the performance of the entire company is your responsibility.

It's been almost twenty years since this happened. How long do we need before we are allowed to make rational decisions instead of emotional ones when it comes to terrorism and the 9/11 attacks? Sure ~5,000 people died in 9/1
