I don't know much about dating. My advice is about interviewing. I think it's completely different. Also your analogy is wrong - you are suggesting to go interview after you accept an offer, which I agree is off-putting. I am sug

I think the most valuable thing to know about interviewing is: go in to interviews already holding a job offer. So to be clear I'm saying: interview at companies you don't like until you get an offer. THEN rush the recruiters at c

Trading the same product on two exchanges is the most basic one because you know it's the same product, so correlation should be 1, assuming the cost to transfer between exchanges is zero. Example is arbing US equities. Crypto is one l

Short answer: I am comfortable with my job. I think your question makes some incorrect factual assumptions, but also it incorporates a world view that I don't subscribe to (not wrong, but also not what I believe). I think that if I had

Your idea is right but the timescale is much shorter. Essentially it's a race. And in 2014 you could make good money doing exactly what you described, the timescale was millis. In 2016-2017 even more money, but different venues. Wha

I think the variable of interest with crime is poverty, not race. Rich black people don't commit more crime than rich white people. And we DO discriminate economically in our neighborhoods - people move to wealthier areas where the opp

That sounds reasonable on the surface, but actually it's even worse. Groups are just sets of individuals. And "boons" are punishment if they are forced. So to adjust the example: a group of people who look like my father kill

This is a rational economic response to outrage culture. Anti-white speech elicits minimal economic damage (ie no backlash). Anti-black speech elicits enormous consequences. So Facebook is simply calibrating their model to accurately reflec

Hypothetical scenario: Before I was born, my father murdered your father, and got away with it. Now, after my father has passed away, the truth is revealed. What should my punishment be?

It's important that they investigate what is alleged, and fix whatever wrongdoing they find. If any individual was treated unfairly, that individual can sue under discrimination law, for a private apology and settlement. But beyond tha

Why is it racist or sexist to not to be interested in "inclusion" (which actually means "quotas", right?) I would think that progressive activism is the minority rather than the default view. Isn't it the racially d

I am a major fan of Rust. I upvoted your comment because it is mostly factual, and correct! I agree that Rust is still early for most adopters. There are a subset of people who need to solve problems that would normally be solved in C or C

Not OP but: IDE: Use IntelliJ Community Edition (or whatever Jetbrains IDE matches your project). Print out a keystrokes cheat sheet and tape it on your desk. Try to do stuff as a series of snippets, autocorrects, autocompletes and refact

I am a grown up, but I'd love to hear your recommendations for how to learn poker for a beginner? Say I can dedicate about 3 hrs / week to this, what is the most efficient way to spend that time?

Well I think the fact that you're a nice person who made sure the secretary was taken care of is great! But I wouldn't start generally inferring that it makes sense to take secretary jobs at startups on the chance the founders dec

I think it's extremely valuable as a lesson for prospective early employees. My own personal takeaway is crystal clear: if you want to benefit from the sale of something, you need to be the owner! Much like a gardener or builder who do

In this case, charity would distort incentives by softening the outcome of bad decision-making. Each of those employees signed up for a salary and equity. That equity turned out to be of very little value to them in the end, probably less t

Why are you making moral judgements on a business decision? The investors didn't HAVE to take a write down, they chose to. The early employees didn't HAVE to join this company, they chose to. Why do you deem it immoral for a fou

I think it's great her work allowed this and to the degree that it is not distracting for others, more workplaces should do so. I've done a lot of coding in 2020 during WFH with my son on my lap and I must say it's very plea

Not true. Whenever those companies want to somehow give those profits to a human, that is taxed (income tax, dividend tax, etc.). So requiring no corporate tax would not mean that no taxes are paid.

I was amused that he didn't want his experience to be used as an example of "cancel culture", when it is EXACTLY that. Somehow most of my generation has been taught that their feelings must be protected at all costs. In 20 m

"Our Autopilot team has been focused on a fundamental architectural rewrite of our neural networks and control algorithms." Does anyone else find this worrying?

I think the author used the term recruiter to mean "person who is recruiting" - so I think your comment is sort of agreeing with the OP.

This is actually a serious and useful critique ... Might be more effective to lead with this next time.

Bank apps (eg. HSBC's consumer app). For the most part they are buggy, crashy, slow, lacking in features, and fail to do useful things (like support copy paste, export transactions to CSV, email transaction, etc)

Surprised to hear this about IntelliJ, have used it for many years without issue on substantially larger projects. Can't say for sure, but your freezes might be a solvable artifact of your setup.

I think if you were starting today, you would build the app as a set of backend APIs connected to an array of front ends (apps, mobile web, desktop web, 3rd party, etc). Building some or all of those backend APIs in Rust from day 1 would no
