I first had the DE title 7 years ago (going into it having never heard of DE), and have been doing MLE/platform work for the past 5. You’re projecting your limited experience onto a poorly defined role that varies wildly from company t

You might be forgetting them, it's literally just a line with numbers marked on it. I learned them in primary school in the 90s, further classes never used them but they've always been useful tools for visualizing relationships be

This nails it, and is something that took me some time to identify in myself. I was first in my family to finish college (and first to consider grad school, let alone go), my grandparents were refugees, and for most of my life my family was

Cheap labor, takes the load off of professors when it comes to the gruntwork (grading, etc.) so they can focus on research, teaching, and grantwriting, and it's part of the apprenticeship of grad students (which is what grad school and

It's not that they're unfocused on research, they don't do research as part of their CC duties. IME many are bored retirees, underemployed MS/MA holders, or adjuncts moonlighting. IME many aren't technically profess

More often than not, it's the Crunchbase DB. Especially for early companies it can be pretty out of date quickly. My current employer had its entry badly merged with a similar named company that wasn't even close to what we did, s

By not making a manipulative “apology” that tries to still put the blame on the victim and cast myself as the real victim. Textbook abusive behavior.

The story literally originated in pro-Russian Ukrainian circles to fight against anti-corruption efforts there while Biden was VP: https://time.com/5902557/hunter-biden-rudy-giuliani-ukraine/

It's not, you can safely ignore anyone so untethered to reality that they either a) parrot "orange man bad" to deflect any criticism of Trump or b) actually believe yet another emails story.

That's not the issue here. Greenwald just doesn't like having editors and thinks he's above having them, when he's clearly not after desperately pushing a clear propaganda story.

It's pretty clearly worded to me. That's the trouble with widely releasing research. It's generally (and, IMO, correctly) written in a specific language for a specific audience who can parse this. This is necessary because co

Different from co-ops, but a lot of small funds (micro-VCs, etc.) have this kind of structure to help their portfolio companies - I actually interviewed at one earlier this summer. There are also similar places like Betaworks ( https:/

Are all books comparable linearly like this though? I could see separate stack ranks for different genres (practical books, sci-fi, relationships, whatever), attributes (readability, teachability if applicable, subject matter interest), or

Downvoting is an expression of opinion. Opinions aren't owed platforms and never have been. Are all magazines anti-free speech because they don't publish everyone? And besides, "well-researched" is highly subjective in t

Are all opinions entitled to a private platform? Expressing disagreement via mechanisms a platform provides is, indeed, expressing an opinion. What all this concern trolling really sounds like isn't an actual defense of values of free

Do you think that's the extent of people's criticisms of Bari? But I'm sure such dogged defenders of free speech normally send other reporters after people to acccuse them of being anti-Semitic for a joke about them on Twitte

Where was Bari punished? She should have been fired for her terrible piece based entirely on a known fake Twitter account.

by achileas 6y ago
Oh no, people are using their free speech to criticize the speech of others!

by achileas 6y ago
So you're against people expressing their opinions in response to your own?

Kind of like Bari was doing at the Times? Being unable to handle criticism is the entire reason Bari is leaving.

Bari Weiss doesn't realize it, but she's painting an accurate picture of herself here.

Nothing in this article is foundational, just stuff the author doesn't like or understand (such as the differences between arrays and lists) and it all happened to be superficial as hell. There are valid reasons to not teach python as

I've jumped around between a whole bunch of different note-taking apps and methods (Markdown notes in vim or ST3, Evernote, Keep, gdocs, Nuclino, etc.) and have mostly settled on Bullet Journalling. The act of writing itself is helpful

While it's a fun hypothesis, there's no evidence for that (nor the bicameral mind hypothesis).

On humans using regular consumption? Such research is notoriously hard to get funding and materials for - much easier on animal models, in the US at least. There's a reason much of the current research (which is still too little) into

Many of those (specifically ayahuasca, psilocybin, and LSD) all work on very similar pathways and structures. MDMA works on different ones and produces are markedly different experience and isn't usually considered a psychedelic.
