Confidentiality agreements are relatively common, but outside of that there is no written contract. Generally speaking, US jobs fall under a legal category here called "at-will" employment, which makes it easy for either party to

Agree, my experience with their customer service has been excellent. Missing side = automatic 50% refund for cost of that dish, don't have to talk to any customer service, you just tap a few buttons in the app.

Not necessarily a giant house, but many hobbies require having a detached house for noise isolation (music, woodworking, cars, etc.) or a garage to work with materials you don't want in your living area (glues, paints, 3D printer resin

Agreed. The experience over the last year and the cost of college in the US makes me think that, in absence of some sort of regulation to the contrary, UBI will simply lead to comparable cost increases. This is very similar to what happened

I generally subscribe to the GTD/inbox zero approach mentioned in one of the other comments. In this system, after reading an email it should be processed into your task management system, unread emails are waiting to be processed and

Just speculating here, but is there a possibility that Bellevue & Redmond's success is due in part to Microsoft HQ being located there? I imagine that without that, those suburbs would look quite different...

As someone working in the industry I can tell you that these insurance devices use precisely none of the sensors you mentioned. They use speed, odometer, and plug/unplug from the ECU, but that's basically it. They often collect ti

There are a few differences: Metromile is an insurance company that uses devices which plug into cars to track mileage and charges by the mile. CMT/TrueMotion aren't insurers, they provide apps/SDKs to insurance companies whi

Indeed, how could there? There is inherent uncertainty to the future which cannot be known, and thus there is risk which can be insured against

Yeah I mean, take California for example: they basically prohibits insurance telematics completely (these apps cannot operate on CA customers)

Even with perfect information about the past/present, there is still uncertainty which can be insured against. Current models are nowhere near precise enough, and probably will never get there (self-driving cars will replace the need f

Risk by age decreases from 16-25, bottoming out from 30 to 40, before increasing again. 30-40 is, likely, a huge part of the Tesla demographic.

I don’t think anyone would argue with the statement “if you possess an information advantage then you’re better off actively trading”. It’s mostly in the situation where you don’t have an information advantage that passive investing outperf

K means clustering the color space is certainly an interesting idea, though you might need n+1 colors as I’d guess the background color of the hoop is often prevalent. Also: it seems like your query function is actually building the tree on

I don't think the argument was that redlining was an example of why capitalism was bad. I think the argument was that discrimination and redlining is an emergent behavior/intent of the complex system that is our society. Clearly t

In the unlikely situation that you skipped to the comments without reading the linked article, the solution is to not solve the exact NP-complete problem since 99.95+% of the time, the linear time approximation algorithm is sufficient.

There's elements of both censoring and causal inference here. For a given customer/checkout: if they buy you know the demand was higher than what was displayed. If they don't buy, you know it was lower. But exact demand is ce

No, that's not what was meant. By "was ever used" they mean "if you, the policyholder, ever used this vehicle for ride sharing while insured by the company" If you buy a vehicle used for Uber/Lyft but you don&#
