Oh. Sorry, for that snarky reply(tired i guess). I have a master's in cognitive science(from india). And currently a python programmer here. Mainly because there aren't that many jobs(in cog. sci.) , here and i was not focused enough to get

Seconded. Even though i write python code, i am still thinking of types. Infact, it's one of my gripes with the language. There are some tired mental states, when i don't think/forget to think about types, but just write and call function

Just curious have you tried on people with darker skin colour/tan. I am trying to imagine, what adjustments you'll need to make to detect on them?

I don't have a formal CS education, but most of the algorithms, i find that i can find analogies from whatever math i learnt back in school and college. I didn't major in math either. I just had a Mech. Engineering degree. One difference is

Brilliant idea.. though probably bait'sy title... I would love to spend as much time as i can over there... If it's becoming annoying i can always sit down and start practicing vipassana( http://www.dhamma.org/ ) that would be fun to listen

Yeah.. i did a speed read(aka skimming or reading sample lines from each paragraph). Told myself i'll write an article If money/time doesn't make you happy, try awareness/presence in the moment... Unfortunately that kind of article writing

Yep, read the paper. But am very uncomfortable calling this a decision bias. It's more specific than that. It's about aversion of risk and how framing a decision in loss terms vs gain terms leads people to decide differently(see https://e

OTOH, i have had phone screens, where the interviewer seemed to have no idea of what i have done or had asked questions that seem irrelevant if you visited some of the links in my profile. It's actually a weird feeling. if you ask me.

My anecdotal experience says just having the ability to verbalize in different languages(3 in my case) makes you reason for a longer time. I suspect, that helps avoid some sort of biases, but might be a crippling factor in some situations(
