My license dropped out of my pocket when I was visiting a friend in a town 2 hours drive away. Didn't even notice until I got home. 3 weeks later it shows up in the mail. A stranger went through all that trouble to mail it back to me.

Thinking about it a bit more, I prefer "did you eat my food"? That way you are not accusing someone, after all maybe they didn't. To me the issue of asking "would you" sounds like the request is optional and they ca

"Would you only eat the food you buy?" sounds manipulative to me. I much prefer asking "why did you eat my food?" Eating someone else's food is not acceptable. There is a wrong person in this scenario.

Sorry to be nitpicky but this stuff is interesting to me. I would think someone in the 99th percentile would have a 99% chance of being smarter than another random person. In a room full of 100, to be smarter than all 99 other people would

If he is really 40, which I don't believe, that would make this record even more remarkable.

I may be misunderstanding what you are saying. Are you saying Ungar needs to to win more than 50% to profitably call? That seems incorrect. There is no situation between 2 players where you need to be right more than 50% of the time. Even i

In terms of making money, probably high up there. In terms of skill I highly doubt he would be in the top 100.

That is true that the best players are better than he was, but they did not play during his era so the comparison doesn't seem particularly important. He did not have access to the same information, the same solvers, the same top level

Hasn't he since changed his mind about those things and apologized for it? If someone believes something bad, gets educated, and changes their point of view, isn't that a good thing?

Like many others have pointed out, "average" is not bad enough. They need to be trying it with the worst pilots.

I think they mean the median. Median income in a group of people is usually smaller than the mean becomes of extremely wealthy outliers. If someone says something about the "average person", they are not talking about the mean, th

I have heard it all the time for median. Average height, average wealth, ect.

My parents are younger than 65. My dad has health issues. He can't chop down trees. If he can hold his fork without dropping it then it is a good day. Without a government pension he would be SOL.

Unless things have changed, Thomas Jefferson lets in people in other counties as well (ie fairfax county).

250k seems very high to qualify as a successful professional. Very few people will ever make that much.

It is also walkable and it has a nice geography. As opposed to the valley which is flat and built for cars. I am mostly a loner but I also lived in SF and commuted in because of those reasons.

Why would you choose Chris Ferguson to participate? Don't you know his terrible history?

The article mention non-probiotic methods are more effective. I could not find what these were beyond "diet". Anyone have an idea?

Honestly this product discriminates against tons of people and would make the hiring process much worse. I hope it doesn't succeed as I believe this product would make the world a worse place. I have an anxiety condition, this would be

I am saddened to here that lots of people had poor high school experiences. My teachers ranged from good to great. Much better than my college professors. Students were highly motivated. It was the perfect environment for me. Growing up I u

I have an anxiety disorder, so in depth conversation with a stranger is going to cause me to be flustered. If you asked me to give the answer in writing I could. If you asked me to code on a whiteboard I could. If you asked me to do a takeh

My solutions would go in two broad categories. A. Worker methods. 1. Tell workers to scan (count) the inventory more often. 2. Do some gamification to actually get workers to scan more often. Not really sure about this, could easily have p

I work on exactly this problem, it is actually pretty complicated. A grocery store does know how much is delivered but it does not know how much is in stock. A simplified version is like this. 20 boxes of cheerios come in, there are room fo
