Looking into it, it may seem wonky (it does to me). A friend of mine, very pragmatic and Cartesian enough gave it a shot and told me the same thing about how his life was transformed. Maybe I should look into it more closely.

The article mentions they are about to release their third book (last paragraph).

As a corollary, "Data Scientists" who can't program their way out of a paper bag (e.g.: write simple SQL, or a scraper in Python) is near useless, and a stress on their peer who can. I'd much rather hire a good programme

Wouldn't it be fun if the next Newton turns out to be the guy who wrote Doom and other FPS, games that were blamed for any kind of surge of violence until the GTA games show up?

OP is talking about false allegation, you're explaining how to avoid real allegation.

What really bothers me with this, although a few interesting points are made, is that there is absolutely no way you can correctly assess most of what is discussed in a job interview, and you'll just build a subjective persona that you

He brought Nicolas Sarkozy to light, who was indeed part of a new generation of cynics.

Funny how as soon as you die, all your sins are forgotten and you a revered as some kind of political saint. Chirac was a crook. I'm not glad he's dead, but I'm surely glad he left.

"Saving to buy later" is not really a good strategy in Hong Kong, as the increase in market price is faster than what can save. The only option is to get a sharp increase in one's income. This is very disheartening, as the go

It wouldn't matter much as they appear to be above the law, or at least to think like that. There are hundreds of videos released everyday of evident gratuitous police violence and misbehavior that is never investigated anyway.

A bit after the battle, but I suggest you should take a look a Daniel Ingram's _Mastering the Core Teaching of the Buddha_ (available more or less freely online, or through normal distributors). He filled up pages after pages on how to

I think visualization has been shown to actually improve performances, which is not that much of a stretch, really (IIRC, a study on power lifters, I can't find it back, something Greg Nuckols wrote). At virtually any level, performanc

Flossing really strike me as an American thing. You can buy dental floss anywhere, but only in the US do you hear it's the most important thing ever, probably because of the really high sugar consumption.

This kind of article is inspiring, but also makes me depressed at what a shit parent I must be and all the various ways I'm screwing up with my kids head, despite trying my best, out of my own imperfections and ignorance. Scary.

Additionally, there is a long period of time when the kid has suicidal tendencies and doesn't comprehend any language, and telling stories won't do anything to save his life. Fear, induced by having made that mistake and paying th

I also woke up after a wisdom teeth extraction, while still intubated, choking, and remember the nurse pulling out the tube quite painfully (for me) while I was gagging. The asshole anesthetist denied it happened.

Additionally, an individual's next "move" (whatever that may be) being unpredictable doesn't make it "free will". Universal predictability would definitely disprove free-will, but disproving universal predictab

I tried to design one of those for my company. We've typically just hired someone through my HN post about it recently, so I think it's working, but I'd still really like to get some feedbacks on it. I am very concerned about

The supposedly water resistant phone accumulate so much dust by the camera lens that it became completely unusable after 6 months. The original Z1 Compact was ace though, I kept it for years. I wish there existed an equivalent model up to t

Agreed, it recently became impossible to find compact phones that don't need to be removed from one's pocket before sitting when wearing jeans.

This is fairly similar to Buddhism kamma : be good to the world, and the world will be a better place for you to live too.

Having worked in a French university, around 2005-2010, we actually received an explicit memo that male should not receive female students in their office without a third person being there.

I also think there is a misunderstanding here. In this kind of bet, the track takes a cut. In other word, your 10-1 odds are calculated on what's left after the track took a cut. I simulated this myself on the HK tracks: if you bet ran

Curious as to how OP managed to get the registry data. HK government is infamous for sucking at opening their data. This guy: https://webb-site.com/ is famous for spitting in their eyes regularly to remind them.

Wasn't Weboob initially (partly) developed to scrape porn websites? If so, then the name definitely is on-topic.
