It's actually public information, at least at a state level. Extrapolating that to the largest city in the state wouldn't be a hard process, and so I don't think it's concerning information if anonymized and aggregated.

I'd assume it refers to the email subject line, and it's likely a Gmail because these quant funds are notoriously secretive and secure. It's legitimate nonetheless.

The efficient-market hypothesis basically asserts that if a price weren't a function of rigorous analysis, then there would be a sizable incentive to find and correctly analyze this stock, and trade appropriately to take advantage of t

The market responds to Trump's tantrums because it affects the potential of Amazon in the future. Basically, if Trump threatens to take some action against Amazon that may hurt its value as a company by 10%, and investors believe there

Could you recommend any resources (articles, books, podcasts, etc.) that go into more detail on the economic factors that come together to enable periods such as the Industrial Revolution, or really any period? I think economics offers a gr

As cited in the study, a common reason to not apply if under-qualified is 'to avoid wasting the time of the interviewer', and I think this is a likely reason. The trade-off of less aggressive language resulting in both more applic

Keep in mind that only 1/4 of those thousand passed an initial screen, which isn't even an interview step, but rather glossing over their resume to see if it fits the position. From there, only 117 passed a quick phone screen. It

Won't less aggressive language result in more applications from those who are less than 100% qualified, whether male or female? I don't see where the article shows that men will apply at the same rate regardless of aggressive lang

It does say in the article that this values the company at over $8.2b, and that they raised $756m in the IPO. If you mean that the title should describe market cap rather than share price, this does occur sometimes and I agree that it can b

(Disclaimer: I don't know much at all about the current standards of encryption) Is this security not already standard, and not practiced by companies like Dropbox? As a side note, I like the collaboration aspect and one-person-per-par

Assuming Zuck being summoned is related to Cambridge Analytica, do you have any data on this that you can share? I assumed the data was closer to, for example: seeing that a person worked in a low-wage position (or that their likes would su

Why is this being downvoted? To elaborate: if, hypothetically, one's parent's income was a huge determining factor in one's education, and in turn one's education was the only relevant factor to one's income, then t

That's the idea OP meant. Google lacks any incentive to screw with a site that has millions(?) of users, as it could have significant consequence, and so Pinterest gets away with what others wouldn't.

While this is true, I think eBay is very labor-intensive both on the side of listing goods and having to continuously bid on them, and I'm unsure of the size of people who buy electronics in need of repair and then resell; it would inv

While this is true, do any of those buy electronics / mechanical goods and repair them for resale? It seems like it would be a different space than most of what you listed, though admittedly I'm not familiar with junk stores or su

by alehul 9y ago
While I imagine most people won't care enough to repair their objects, maybe there could be room for a business that would offer money for objects one would otherwise throw away, and then re-sell them to those who don't mind secon

I'm currently taking a near-identical course as a CS freshman, and while I lack the programming expertise to adequately explain the importance in that field, it's definitely valuable to learn. I've never enjoyed a maths class

While that does seem unfair, how airtight would that case have to be? As outlined in another comment here, the CFO and CMO of Equifax appear to have dumped just as much if not more than this employee being indicted, however they're yet

Sorry to interject, but I'm curious: as someone who is in their first semester of a CS education, could you elaborate on what you mean by abstraction? So far, I just know it to mean making your function more widely applicable. I'm

I'm not attempting to take sides, but the judge was documented to be heavily involved in the local Mexican community, which certainly could suggest a bias in judgment against a president who wanted to build a wall to stop illegal immig

As a followup to this (and response to preceding comment), a quick Google search shows that all airports aside from one in the US are owned by the government, which I believe must meet certain standards that we don't require of private

I see your point, but is spreading wealth out the goal? Oftentimes, that obscene concentration of wealth is the result of something that has enhanced everyone's lives in a way we'd struggle to measure quantitatively. An example wo

Agree entirely with this! Capitalism's benefit in my opinion is far from equality. People view 'inequality' as a problem, but I'd say to be more accurate, poverty is the problem while equality seems like an easy solution

This may be a very broad question, but has anyone else thought about whether our basic fundamentals of logic are flawed, and if so, how? Wouldn't a logically sound system be devoid of any paradox?
