I had an odd experience taking styrofoam to the dump in SF. On most days I would be told to just put it in some random dumpster, no receipt written up and no vehicle weigh in/out or anything. I figured that was just the process until o

I would take out or obscure the ones that have names in a non-English language. I was able to guess two knowing a little German and Japanese.

What kind of smoking gun are you looking for? Given that Steve Jobs was partly famous for his capriciousness in how he treated people I imagine his example set a baseline of acceptable toxic behavior in the company so it’s not unreasonable

I can only speak for myself but as far as the first two the problem is that given the pressure and time constraints your success is generally dependent upon whether or not you’ve churned through similar enough problems in preparation so it

For one because you want a society that isn’t purely optimized for immediate earning potential as breakthroughs and advances that push society forward can come from multiple areas. And for another perhaps you want to be able to provide the

It’s easy to say that in retrospect but to anyone working on it I’m sure it felt more important for the outcome of the war than being able to put 1000 songs in your pocket or whatever.

Yeah so far I don’t think Apple has done anything equivalent in importance to the Enigma code breakers to warrant the comparison so when someone from Apple says they can’t tell me what they’re working on it just sounds like corporate arrog

I see plenty of people in GG park and on the beach during nice days. Traffic in the burbs is still rather constant as usual.

Not sure extinction would be worse than the amount of suffering living through a full scale nuclear war would entail.

So how does one "speak up" as a janitor then? I think as long as maximizing shareholder value is the dominant incentive of corporations, your job will always be at risk of being outsourced unless you have either a clear competitiv

CEO compensation historically wasn’t orders of magnitude greater than worker pay like it has ballooned to today and there were plenty of long term jobs. This just formalizes the idea that there shouldn’t be an egregious difference in compe

Since this is a security update I think it’s more about support of an OS which is only 2 yrs old than the class of device as that class was supported with the initial iOS 12 release.

Life itself is only concerned with perpetuating itself through DNA replication and transmission. Outside of that there really isn't any ultimate purpose if that is what you are asking.

The difference is that wolves tend to take the weaker members of the herds which strengthens the herd overall, but hunters tend to focus on the stronger members.

That it’s such a deeply cultural thing makes me think that if wolves go extinct they will just choose the next convenient species to focus their ire on. In other words having an enemy to fight against is more important to them than actually

This is very common behavior in testosterone driven work cultures like securities trading and such (Read "Liar's Poker" by Michael Lewis for an idea). It's unfortunate but the only thing guys like that will respect is yo

Because there is nothing like a real-world test to verify if your ideas and predictions are correct and to reveal other things you may have not considered.

Understand that it is primarily a problem of avoiding negative emotions around starting a task than it is a discipline problem. Dr. Timothy Pychyl's work on this may be useful to you , his book - Solving the Procrastination Puzzle - is

How do they control for bias in that a person with a high or low score may just be perceived to do better or worse, may be given better or less opportunities, etc. if their scores are known to the managers, etc? In other words it’s a correl

Depending on where you live you might be able to find classes through different groups, not just a technical college. For example, here in San Francisco, the Randall Museum has a fully equipped shop and several levels of woodworking classes

Same here. Every project I finish is something where I go, "Well if I were to do it again, I'd do it like this instead..."

I'm curious to know how you got into ML? Did you go the degree route? PhD? I'm guessing that's where the top end of the salary range goes to but would be interested to know your personal path and if you have any advice on how

Not to mention the sheer arrogance so many SV companies have thinking that what they are doing is so special it requires "10x" developers compared to every other company out there.

I wouldn't feel comfortable going back into an office setting until a vaccine is developed and available. It hardly seems worth it until that happens considering the amount of effort that would need to be put in with mask-wearing, soci

Yeah I don’t know. I think there is a difference between places with reasonable costs of living but I don’t know if those are places where 1-2M is going to last 40yrs. I grew up in Astoria, OR with population of 10k and can say that at leas
