In my recent experience (20 yrs experience so ymmv) - basically all jobs you see posted on LinkedIn or on big sites are either fake or might as well be because they are being run through HR - everything is optimized for engagement, not outc

The bank's policies and those like it are the root cause of these scams. There are countless things like this where real "legit" behavior is completely indistinguishable or sometimes even worse than scams. There will always b

There's the big sign there telling you to go to arrivals for drop-off. This is probably a stupid question but can Waymo cars interpret those temporary display signs and follow them? Would it?

Yeah I let that go, it seems to be following Orwell's "fascist means anything we don't like" observation. Otherwise I think there is some grain of truth to the high level observations in article, even if the treatment is

If people find it useful but enterprise adoption is lagging, doesn't that indicate there's still a big upside? On the other hand, I remember when BlackBerry had enterprise locked down and got wiped out by consumer focused Apple. I

Thank this looks interesting though I do see it's a very early stage startup (and inexplicably subscription based which appears to just be a naked cash grab).

The reason I would do it, or do it when in the US is just the convenience. Seeing a doctor is complicated and obviously involves at least one extra step. If you just go and get the tests and have the info, it simplifies things, which is pre

I've always thought you need a requisition from a doctor, you can't just go pay for something, that's the only way I've seen it done. At least I've never seen services like the OP advertised, that's why I was s

I live in Canada, despite being free this would be way more complicated to get. I don't want to be political, but just paying for this would be very appealing.

Deterministic reproducibility is very different from replicability, and imo the latter is more important; even if the details of the reproducibility are interesting I think they're irrelevant. There's a similar situation in other

"I thought it might be the kids from the abandoned house over the road,” Lisa, 30, a shop sales assistant told the tabloid Bild. More concerning that there's an apparent house of feral children across the road.
