Notice it says “at a level they can handle”. And if it all goes terribly wrong there’s still powerful drugs for that too. So what is there to lose I say.

“Make someone do something they’re afraid of at a level they can handle and they get better at it and less afraid”. Not surprising. This is how I conquered my deep fear of flying. I took some flying lessons and even had the instructor do st

I simply can’t stand LED Christmas lights. Not only do they have a very different color temperature, but the refresh rate is so low that they appear to move when you look at them and it’s quite hard to focus. If anyone has suggestions on hi

I'd never heard of audio programming as such so what I expected this to be was a kind of talk-to-text keyboard-less programming.

Just another example of the major problem with pharma funding med schools, paying for continuing medical education, paying professors and other massive undisclosed conflicts of interest. The top med schools are some of the worst offenders.

That’s great, but then you’ll start backsliding on the “diversity and inclusion” scale. I think it’s a constant trade off. As individuals with preferences, humans can’t help but form in groups and out groups.

It seems like the UK government’s Treasure Act really incentivizes the right kind behavior in these situations. He found it, contacted the right people and once it gets evaluated he and the landowner are going to get a big payday. Better th

As others may have said, it really depends on the company. I got hired based on my github and what my favorite movie was. No whiteboard or algorithmic questions at all. Reams of blog posts have been written on how the type of interview you

I love follow-ups like this from experts like Joe. However, he seems quick to dismiss a couple things as improbable due to cost. I don’t know, but I wouldn’t be so sure considering we’re talking a nation-state actor here.

Last I knew (a few months ago) we were somewhere less than 20 qubits and getting a straight answer on “does it work” depended on who was being interviewed. How do they have a 2048 qubit chip? And why is it a binary multiple? Did I miss some

Good point. I feel this fact is rarely touched on in discussions of inheritance but we’re seeing more and more the role that such changes play.

Thanks for the simple answer. Wouldn’t temperature still be intrinsic? Assuming there’s only one particle in the universe it would still have a temperature right? Yes it’s not in relation to anything but then neither would charge be in our

I would believe that. I paid for a kit, never got a confirmation. Waited a few months and finally contacted customer service. They said it would be shipped soon. It never was. I cancelled the order, asked for (and got) a refund. No follow u

This. Nothing is 100% good or bad. The conversation on both sides has gotten laughably hyperbolic. Like any medical intervention the pros and cons of each vaccine need to be discussed rationally and with full informed consent for each patie

Yet another example of what constant consumption of hyperbolic media coverage about horrific cases does to our collective psychology and ability to assess risk. In Iceland they leave sleeping kids parked in strollers outside the coffeeshop.
