Pretty sure they don't care about the box you check. They're just looking at your name and maybe your extracurriculars. I like to check random boxes. Given the precarious definition of race one could probably argue they belong to

I seriously don't understand people who defend race-based admissions. It is, at best, an ends-justify-the-means argument where you're saying some forms of racism and stereotyping are acceptable. I'm aware of the argument that

Do Americans love guns that much ?? I mean, there are so many other toys to play with. Does owning a gun cause a nice buzz? Is it a social lubricant that makes everybody at a party happier when you bring it out? Does it have an ancient his

To be fair, it wasn't dry from the last shooting (Parkland) yet before it got wet from this one. If you have to wait until it's dry to discuss solutions, at this rate you'd be waiting forever!

Well the parent stated "if you met her, you'd know...". So I was wondering if they had specific examples that would lead someone who meets her to come to that conclusion. I wasn't paying attention to the "extremely&

So much salt in this thread. I for one, enjoyed the article. Walking away from a high-paying, generally respected job is not a easy decision for a lot of people and there are a lot of consequences to consider. I think this writeup addresses

Good on you, but you're also kidding yourself. First impressions matter---and hearing someone went to MIT or Harvard or works at GoogFace immediately implies that they passed their rigorous vetting. In the absence of more information a

As someone who recently had a bad experience with Didi in China, I really wish there would be at least two competitors for each industry at any given point.

Not sure why you're down voted. It's a legitimate question, particularly from many who may not follow US politics very closely. The alt right popularized particular terms that have racial and misogynistic undertones as insults suc

I thought it was established that it wasn't chance, that it was basically family wealth? I.e., your family is rich, therefore you can afford to take risks and fail, therefore you're more likely to make it big.

The author is in New York and presumably intends to stay there. I'm fairly certain four years of post-tax GSUs won't last him long.

Still an interesting read, but should be framed less as advice and more as a day-in-the-life piece on a rockstar founder with a lot of cred.

If this actually happened the only signal I would get from this interview is that the candidate is a egotistical asshole. No hire. - It's always good to not assume that the candidate is familiar with a given question, no matter how w

Nobody. Trust nobody. It's sad, but it's true. They're your employer---not your friend, not your family. The upside: you don't have to feel bad about being a mercenary about it. You can feel shameless in trying to negoti

It's one thing to suffer with pain needlessly, it's another if the treatment of pain could have long term harmful effects, e.g., addition to opioids. I had impacted wisdom teeth and needed dental surgery. The dentist gave me a cou

On what basis do you make that assertion? Other comments have alluded to transfer learning which can be used to take advantage of small datasets, but independent of neural nets, small datasets can be quite suitable to train some useful SVM&

I think what's going on, and may no be well communicated, is that by default when you share, you get sharing via the link. The benefit is that anyone who wants to see the photos can do so without having to have a Google account, let al
