Not ever seeing these emails, it depends on where you stand. I can see how it would benefit the organization to have people know what is being shipped in other areas of the org, and also provide valuable feedback loops from differing perspe

Is there a way to figure out where the 737Max is still being flown? I ask selfishly as I have a flight on Norwegian Air Argentina coming up and according to their seat map I appear to be on a 737 Max8, but there is no indication about the a

Don't know why they included two figures when two numbers would do (it appears the first graph in each is showing the definition of median and quartile). If the top quartile of performers were consistently the top quartile, then the pl

I also found the writing to be engaging and informative. Not many product websites have posts that make me go back through their archive.

I like Quang's for pho and Vietnamese food, Guavas is a new Cuban/Caribbean place that is quite good. The fancier places would be something like Spoon and Stable and Bellecour, who have the same chef. Their quality would probably

I think it's fairly widespread. I got rejected from Amazon with a "reach out in 6-12 months," but without a reason for the rejection.

You would sacrifice the largest source of freshwater on earth for the climate? EDIT: The Great Lakes are not land-locked either. They flow out to the Atlantic Ocean via the St. Lawrence River.

Do you speak Russian, or do you target those that went to top colleges, e.g., Moscow State Univ. that are more likely to speak fluent English? Every Russian I've worked with that went to MSU or MIPT had excellent English, but they also

I have no experience with data centers, but a little bit of experience with ecological impacts of pass-through nuclear cooling, i.e., water is pumped in from a body of water as cooling for a nuclear power plant, then pumped back to the body

Yes, good catch. Thanks!

I applied with the low character requirements; I assumed you were encouraging brevity for the sake of the reviewers. Should I reapply or will it not have a large impact on admission decisions?

I just wish data were more availabile. Given that football/soccer is a continuous game (as opposed to the discreet stop/start of American football or baseball), gathering data requires a bit of labor so most of the data products a

Seconded. I'm at WeWork now, and had to upgrade offices just so I could be somewhere that was quieter. Once my contract is up I'll be looking for a more out-of-the-way office where I don't need to put on headphones several ti

Wait. They don't have an option for automatic dividend reinvestment? That would probably be in the top five most-obvious features to have. Of course, it's hard to make money on dividend reinvestment.

I was approached by a Tesla contractor in Home Depot on a few days ago. It was honestly not a good experience. For one, I was approached cold. I too had no idea that they had this agreement, so I was looking at something when someone came u

I hope to move someday close to a river or stream so I can pick the hobby back up. Used to tie my own as well, I highly recommend Trout Flies: The Tier's Reference [1]. Full color, step-by-step instructions, so enjoyable to flip throu

On points 2/3, have you found a community of like-minded people (likely expats)? It pales in comparison, but I moved from somewhere where I had a tight-knit community to one where I was a hermit and found it very demotivating. Talking

Great idea! This is something hat seems so obvious after the fact, but I would have never thought of it. I would suggest that you enable a more responsive preview. Viewing it on a 1440p monitor, the map preview could be about double in size

I write things down and then transfer what is useful to digital with org-mode. Depending on the "officialness," I write things down on either a legal pad or in a lab notebook dedicated to a project. Then the most important bits of

In regards to UBI, I was disturbed by a comment that Jaron Lanier made in the latest Ezra Klein Show [1] (starting at minute 55). He said that some "known" Silicon Valley folks have expressed that the recent opioid epidemic is a p

I responded to another comment along this line of thought. I took a relatively common "STEM" view until I joined a fellowship cohort with some students in humanities. Their teaching loads were completely ridiculous as grad student

I am at a university (Michigan) where the union is primarily for graduate students that teach. I could not tell from the writeup, but it sounds like this is for _all_ graduate students at UChicago. Being in an engineering department, I neve

True, but it's very hard to "get away" with card counting at a casin, after Ed Thorp popularized it. Taleb knows this too; he wrote the foreword for Dr. Thorp's memoir. Also true in sports betting, but you aren't ga

Yep, I always wanted a Nokona glove when I played, but couldn't justify the cost. They were somewhat of a status symbol in my high school playing days.

A really good baseball glove is one of those "buy it for life" purchases. My dad played college ball in the late 50's and had a Nokona glove. When we played catch and he was teaching me baseball in the 90's, he used the
