   French fries are not the National Dish of the USA, and it was done in the cafeterias in Congress (as well as a few other zealous restaurants). But to portray it as a country renaming their national dish is an over-exaggeration. https:&#x2F

   Interestingly, I've always seen it as any number of quick math problems, not just ones that equal 14, and it consistently works too.

   You said you didn't believe OP's friend about being carjacked and the police not giving chase in a certain area. The clearance rate of carjackings and that chase rate are quite low. All that need to exist is a non-zero carjacking

   Do you have a source for that? All I'm seeing is under reporting of covid deaths: Brazil: https://journals.plos.org/globalpublichealth/article?id=10.1... USA: https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth&#x2

   I think you misunderstood the previous commenter a bit. They were not saying look at the painting example from the standpoint of the CEO, they were saying "Put the excuses" in the mouths of some painters. Also, there's quite

    Following the viewpoint of the parent commenter, you are not choosing to kill the fetus. You are choosing to stop letting the fetus have residence inside your body (your property) and choosing to stop providing it with free nourishment. It&

    This feels like a corollary of the concept of "Voting with your wallet", which is a debatable concept at best. Individual actions in the face of corporations like airlines and airbnb won't affect the company. It's only g

    Is this for managers or engineers as well? There are several reasons I've stayed at Amazon as an engineer, such as, the stock growth created golden handcuffs, covid added a lot of fear and uncertainty and reduced mobility, and the team

    I work in America, so my employer owns my entire being. Specifically, in order to commit to open source, do any independent project, etc, I need to get permission from my employer that it doesn't compete with them and that they are wil

    StarCraft 2 has a pretty active version of this! I've always wanted to play around with it but I lost a lot of steam when I wanted to upstream some changes to the various libraries involved and my employer vetoed the idea. https:&#x2F

    I've worked at a FAANG for almost 5 years. I know probably a dozen or two people who have been PIP'd. I even know one guy who was PIP'd twice and then left when he was given his third PIP.

    Both of those papers are about the treatment of cancer, not about the avoidance. I don't have the internet connection needed to watch a video, but the video appears to be about longevity.

    That's a hotly debated philosophical concept, moral absolutism and moral relativism and everything in between. I'd assume from your statement you're a moral absolutist, but that does not make that statement an absolute truth.

    The only support for this point I've found is in a few studies in mice. Is there other studies I'm missing or are you making recommendations based on a few studies in mice? "Studies on autophagy-deficient mouse models indicat

    This has been covered pretty extensively in several comment chains, eg https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29687522 . But basically, even down to below freezing it's still way above 100% efficient.

    That is operating cost, which the article I linked described as one of the ways that comparisons use to skew data.

    There are hundreds of thousands of tech companies in the US. There are bound to be good companies many of us have never heard of. Name recognition seems like a poor filter function with numbers this large.
