I don't know about you, but I can change my appearance a lot easier than I can change my DNA. Even this aside, a DNA link to your identity is a lot more accurate than just a photo.

Fair, my thought process always seems to conclude that having multiple apps is a downside, but that argument really doesn't hold up well once I consciously think about that fact.

It's definitely anecdotal, and as a sibling poster said, it depends on your circles. Mine anecdotally happens to be all square cash and no venmo given the ease of setup for square cash.

One of the key differences here (for me at least) between an apple only app (assuming that is the case) and something like square cash is that if the person I want to send money to doesn't have an iPhone, I wouldn't be able to sen

Wouldn't changing the assumed rate of 50% to something higher make the probability less extreme? I know my initial inclination is to believe that less than 50% of the published studies have results that are able to be replicated, but

All generalities are unfair to some extent, it's just how generalities work, so I tend to read them as a quantified statement based on the number of people in the group that the person making the statement is likely to have interacted

Seriously.. To agree with a sibling poster, $1500 is a paltry fee to pay to be sure that you imprison the right person. Especially since it isn't a trivial charge either. $1500 is also dwarfed by the amount it will cost to imprison t

The idea looks fun to mess around with and I imagine the price is right for playing, it doesn't get much better than free + prizes. This could also be fun in letting out some tendencies to want to play the stock market without actuall

It seems that it would trivially work if you knew the number that you start from, you'd just be shifting the uniform distribution (and subtracting whatever number it started from to get the overall estimate). It does seem to be a harde

That's because it uses your location to determine nearby locations to search, so without your location it doesn't really do anything.

I've only learned what I know on the topic from readings here and there, as well as a bit of research when I'm particularly motivated. I personally didn't notice an overwhelming amount of incorrect information in his post, s

I think it has more to do with the fact that it is just sugar by itself. From what I've read, it seems that the context of the sugar is what makes it "good" or "bad", and that's because the effects are measure

I don't know about all banks, but my bank has a flat fee on that service, which seems like it would make it significantly worse for paying back small sums (of which the flat fee is a greater percentage of).

Maybe that isn't all the inaccurate of a dismissal, if the culture there is work to the bone, then somebody with non-work interests would certainly not enjoy the culture there. Not saying that I endorse that kind of culture, just that

Hmm.. I didn't necessarily read it as they were hiring from outside necessarily.. I'm sure it's not uncommon to have interviews internally even if all of the potential candidates are already employees.

How long is a "significant amount of time"? If it's anything less than a month a credit card could cover that with 0 interest right?

Well if everyone buys property and owns it I think he could find enough demand for property to be able to sell his property and invest it in something else with returns.

As an aside to your main point, I am curious about why you have a complete disdain for using credit cards. I'm certainly not advocating using a credit card to spend beyond your limits, but intelligent application of a credit card can

It's not just the same tuition for all 4 years though. For instance if you pay 10,000 for tuition with 48% "discount" through merit-scholarships or what have you. Then next year that discount is only 40%, but your tuition st

I'll definitely agree with you on the sugar consumption. Any benefits that may or may not exist are sure to be dampened/counteracted by excess sugar intake. It's kind of like eating salad to be healthy, but then drenching i

I think it's mostly that introversion vs extroversion are closer to what the post you are responding to, while more often then not, social anxiety and shyness are conflated with introversion while that is not necessarily correct. Intr

I just looked at their $ per kCal that they displayed under your currently selected order option and compared it to the same number for the powder. I do dislike swapping around serving sizes and stuff though since it's mostly arbitrar

For what it's worth, the author included this footnote about what you mentioned. "1. The stress of interviewing seems to be different than the stress of performing a job. None of the people we've spoken to who do poorly in in

I always find it fun and interesting to see all the complexities of other fields that one would normally not think about. This did a great job of bringing light to something I had considered pretty mundane.

Internet service providers? Every ISP I've ever used I had to navigate their awful customer service infrastructure on multiple occasions and none of them were what I would call competent.

Hmm.. That is interesting and comforting to know actually. I always figured there was some lower bound that a company would get called out on somewhere along the process if it was too egregious, but it's nice that there's at leas

Hm.. I do see the distinction there, but it seems to have interesting consequences for other industries that operate with a contractor model. If this woman could be deemed an employee by essentially contracting for only one customer base,

Which was entirely the plaintiff's choice, was it not? If I'm a contractor and I choose not to solicit jobs from a particular customer base, does that somehow mean that those other jobs didn't exist? If anything, the fact t
