Obviously, a number of issues present in the study, but I can appreciate they tried to account for some of them. Lots of variables are unaccounted for like time of day, win/loss, character, what the researcher said in chat, etc. Simi

If a "bad hire" means fired before 3 months... Then I really have to question exactly how they did this analysis. I can't imagine most companies would have the same objective function.

I don't know what you are replying to the parent poster at all. If you don't want to interview for a job in a new location, or for more money... then the advice to study isn't meant for you. Like, sure some people find studyi

Unlike bitcoin, every person in the US has an (more or less) equal vote to help decide that. Congress's job is literally to decide whether to spend more money on military, among other things. And also unlike bitcoin, when you pay the s

I think most people on this thread are in agreement. It's not the tech people who are "to blame", it's the companies and politicians for not developing a sustainable growth strategy that includes housing for all the jobs

IMO, it seemed that the purpose of GDPR was to create a legal arrangement to tax/fine Google (and other big US tech companies). The fine was going to happen one way or another, the question was just how big it would be in the end. For

Most forests in North America are not mature. Consider how tall redwood trees can get. Also, trees are converted into wood and paper. Generally that wood isn't burned and returned to the atmosphere. Why not suggest the whole planet is

I can understand this. Both of these options are better than what it was like in the 90's though. Back then it was "inform company about a bug, and get a non-disclosure agreement forced on you or a visit from the FBI". People

That's actually exactly the point the parent poster is making. Ada Lovelace has no direct relation to the Jacquard Loom. She's only related because she worked with Babbage, and Babbage was mentioned. Both of you are pointing out t

Because it's not an article about Babbage, it's an article about Jacquard. I don't say this as an Lovelace hater, but this obsession with feeling like she must be mentioned in EVERY article that touches on early computing or

I think it's an interesting comment. I wonder if the average person spends less time watching reruns compared to the 70s/80s/90s. There certainly was a cultural push to not be a "couch potato", and I wonder if we&#x

I'm amazed it took three WaPo journalists and this still comes off as a biased screed that could have come from the mouth of Bezos himself. I mean, casually referencing Bezos as "the worlds richest man" instead of calling him

The fact that netflix lets you create an account without verifying you actually own the email address they are sending the token to is the real bug. Besides, even without a magic link, they could still phish you into clicking a link to a ma

The fraudster indeed could just forward the netflix mail using their own mail server. This is just standard phishing (when you log in to netflix, wouldn't you notice it's not your account?)

I downed this because you posted 4 words with no thought or reasoning behind it. The lack of thought and self awareness that this is a discussion forum, not Reddit, is why this is downvoted.

I think your understand of the issue is a bit fuzzy. For example, the business insider article seems to imply that we can't "plant our way out" using trees. But you interpret this to mean "we can't do it ourselves&q
