The biggest optimization would be to change their programming language.

You have a choice of not living near a large population center which draws more potential terrorist attacks.

Well there is a chance terrorists will kill millions of people here and it just hasn't happened yet. So the total chance of being killed by a terrorist, if you had more information, might be higher than being killed by an officer.

But it's far, far higher chance that terrorists would kill 10 million tomorrow than police. All it takes is for a terrorist group to get their hands on nukes.

Well perhaps from quantum mechanics there's also a chance that the moon is made out of cheese, but it's not really worth thinking about. The chance that police will kill 10 million people from routine activity is like that. It&#x2

It's a zero chance unless those police officers are also terrorists. Like I said in another comment, there is a zero chance it would happen from routine police activity.

It is possible terrorists could gain access to nukes. You don't know this for sure.

Well that would make him a terrorist. There is a zero chance it would happen from routine police activity.

This is ignoring black swan events. There is no chance that police officers will kill 10 million people tomorrow, but there is a non-zero chance that terrorists will.

How does it cost society money? When people waste money on gambling, it just recirculates to others.

I learned the most from doing homework and studying for tests. In class I mostly daydreamed and didn't pay attention to much.

I think what he's saying is even warrants shouldn't be allowed to search the contents of your personal devices.

I would do whatever you feel is in your best interests. Don't worry about the finances or jobs of other people, it's not your responsibility. Also don't worry about the well-being of the company unless you have a large financ

The reason I'm not mad is because on a logarithmic scale, a 10-20% difference is very small. Wage differences don't affect your lifestyle until you start moving decimal points.

Well there's that too. But to get people to use a new social network in the first place, you either need to hope for a viral effect or spend on advertising. Unless I'm missing something.
46.
by a3voices 11y ago
Well that's true that it's low cost. The difficulty I'd run into is how to get people to actually use it without spending on advertising.

I disagree. You can make a Google without VC money if you start in 1994.

But what about the rise of Backpage prostitution?

I think the ones who use leverage do beat the indices over the long haul. Leveraged investments make more long term than stock indices.

Because they don't take new jobs unless they're given large raises.

I used to be very scared of talking to unfamiliar people, but I no longer feel the fear. I'm thoroughly desensitized to it from lots of socializing in the past, and being employed at various companies for years where I need to talk to

You know the feeling when you're a kid in elementary school and you have to present in front of the whole class? It's like that.

by a3voices 11y ago
The problem is it still doesn't become "fun". It always feels like work for me to talk to people I'm not already comfortable with, so I generally avoid it out of laziness. And I don't see enough gain in forcing myse

Sounds like a great scheme for the founders and VCs to 'exit' using money from the middle class.

Yes, you're being paid severely under market even taking that into consideration. I would probably flat out them them, "I'm going to take an extended break so I can look for a job that doesn't pay 50% less than the marke

Oh, I would just find a new job ASAP then.

If it's your first job, you should stick it out for a full year and then move to another company for a larger salary.

Well if the engineer is checking in working code to features that the company's management prioritizes, then that engineer is definitely adding value. Otherwise it is management's fault for poorly prioritizing.

I wonder if it's looking old versus actually being old? If you look like you're in your 20s but are 40 (low body fat, not many wrinkles) maybe you won't be stigmatized against as much. I'm just curious about whether it&#
