Just added an update but there's nothing that says interviewing need be only in person. Even just phone calls and email screens can be immensely valuable.

That's why I'm not saying it's "wrong" but it also is no longer making a bet on randomness.

I do think this strategy can be taken the wrong way so I understand your points. I think it's very doable in an honorable way. Let me clarify: * I think companies are doing this but they aren't looking to replace me so much as t

I can see why it could be viewed as robbing. The person selling options assumes there is no information asymmetry. The bots that do this aren't betting, they have new information that shows that the current options price doesn't r

Always be interviewing. This has a few advantages: * You get practice and insight into interview questions * you always have an idea of your worth * interviewing stops being something you only do when you NEED a new job. Now it's just

Here's a different perspective: Don't compete along the dimension where you're outmatched. Sounds like you could win a lot of points by playing the grasshopper to their kung-fu master and act as the glue for the group working

Build your own. It's crazy cheap to log things to a text file on a server. Use Spark to query from S3 and you're done. You're really paying for the intuitive interface which you may not need.

My ideals of a leader is someone who can learn from their team and use that to synthesize a team vision. Your leadership would improve greatly by asking for help on coding better.

This is the best answer I've read here. I don't think blaming you helps here. I've personally seen things like this happen to me. Sure I've learned more about how to prevent this from happening in the future but it'

Interesting stats hack definitely. I love the point the other comments are making: Learn more about simulation and bootstrapping. It'll still require a little probability but all of the results will make a ton of sense.

That's cute until your large business moves down in rankings and you start losing thousands of dollars because who knows why.

Clearly specifying what I mean and using precise language. I never understood the importance of that until a few years of programming.

Every time they say "classic statistics" just insert "what we did before now" and see how frustrated you get with this announcement. The whole point of using them is that people don't need a statistician because the

It's actually sequential testing which is not necessarily Bayesian. Also, it's not a cheap knock off. Just another way of getting to an answer.

On the one hand the article is saying, "Look at your data." On the other it's saying, "Visualizing data is hard in more than two dimensions." It doesn't really offer any suggestions to fix that. I imagine using

Being someone who can see the difference like night and day, I imagine there must be something that varies per individual... which also makes me feel like you are lying. So I totally understand where you're coming from.

It may have had something to do with what was available at the time... For myself I had an old Mac plus and it had basic and HyperCard. Creating graphical games was HARD in basic. In HyperCard I could just draw a picture in it, make areas c

I don't. I'm almost 33 years old and feel like the jobs I don't get are completely on me. :)

To the idea of replicating the experiment, replicating it as closely as possible is exactly what the statistical methods assume. The other concept you're speaking to seems more like establishing causation or just generally understandin

It's important to read the study's goals... But I agree. If we really want to understand how well the studies are being conducted there should be a random sampling of studies from different behavioral affects.

All of their data and methods are all online here: https://osf.io/ebmf8/ This is a very well done study and almost every criticism I've read in the comments is addressed in it if you read the write up.

The original paper considers this and finds that to be of limited if not negligible concern. The experiment designs were extremely meticulous and even included the original authors whenever possible.

I believe they had each of the 13 studies independently reproduced by 36 different labs. If you can't reproduce it across such a setting I think it's safe to discount the original work.

By tracking results not time. That might seem a bit terse and ambiguous. The reason for that is that trust is a huge aspect of employing remote workers. If you've lost that (or never had it) that is the real problem that needs to be so

The question of "...is what you eat more important than how much?" Went unanswered it appears. Essentially, what if he ate the same calories each day but improved the number of calories he burned per pound of body weight? A hypoth

Kind of a serious difference... This is using Excel in Python. Python is not running inside Excel with this.

God this is hard. I've been trying to get at a solution to this exact problem for a very long time as well. It needs to be there when I'm walking down the street, sitting in a busy meeting, or at home in bed. A hybrid of mind-mapp
