By "strawman" I'm referring to use of "relatively boring" in the NBA parallel, as if that's a generally accepted description of this match.

If I follow your logic, why have a world championship cycle in any sport - chess, tennis, soccer, whatever? We could just use the rating or ranking list.

Why the snark? Is it so surprising that spectators following a world championship match in any sport would know something about the competitors?

Yes and no – the number of playable lines does not necessarily tell us how "obvious" those lines are to find for a human. To give a trivial example, if I take your queen, then recapturing my queen is almost always the single playa

> Nobody says "Hey, at least this has a human touch! I'm sick of basketball video games." if the NBA finals are relatively boring one year. Complete strawman. You are one of very few people who think this match was "r

It still might - that is an ongoing debate at the top of the chess world. For instance, Magnus Carlsen, the world number one by rating, is a fan of Fischer chess aka Chess960.

Not really – that's the point, engines, for all their awesomeness, just do not know how to assess the likelihood of "human" mistakes.

I disagree completely. In the eyes of some modern fans, the popularity of engines and eval bars has reduced chess to an intellectual and computational exercise. It's too easy to say "bad moves" and "blunder" when St

You're not alone. Join ADHD support groups. Kaiser has a few. There are other groups (or sub-groups) among tech people online. Of all the popular books, I liked The Mini ADHD Coach . Also ADHD 2.0 . 36 is young. Be glad that you unde

As terrible as the next four years may be for US policymaking, we can hope that weakening Big Food, and undoing vegan religious propaganda, will be areas of progress.

Wow. 60-75% (to Audible) is a MUCH higher percentage than I was expecting! That was an unusually informative article - thanks.

UnitedHealthcare is pretty well-established to be much worse than average within the industry. This is not new news.

The article content doesn't really support the clickbait title.

Fair enough. From what I know about being unemployed, I am not sure I trust his retrospective narrative, but based on the information we're presented – have my upvote!

Thanks. It seems to me that their survey intermingles two very different groups – the larger group, those who moved due to extreme financial insecurity (who would do MUCH worse), and those who moved under "positive" circumstances.

A lot of people start a business in parallel with a job search, or once their job search has completely failed. It both feels and sounds better (to a recruiter, or a journalist) than doing nothing.

There's a reason I said "good therapist." That's completely different from "any licensed therapist." You're just proving my point - you had to make 50 calls to reach "any licensed therapist" cove

If you're going to quote studies, you should cite then. Then we can pick apart what "mobile" means to your ivory tower researchers, which is almost definitely not "traveling the world as a healthy, happy, family unit.&qu

In the US, any good therapist is very expensive and not covered by insurance.

Most of your "evidence" has to do with kids moving between foster homes, or families running out in the middle of the night because they don't have money to make rent. That is nothing like what we are discussing here.

Do you think that the factors you mentioned, most obviously drug overdoses, might be linked to being lonely and disconnected from family?

I'm American, and I've traveled to South Korea for surgery. I'll do it again (or to another country) the next time I have to pay a major medical expense out-of-pocket. There is no comparison.

I'm no McKinsey fan, but it's naïve to think that they are worse (or different) than other multinationals, particularly firms providing consulting or legal or other advisory services.

AFAIK, they are not. Gupta is a very common name in India, and Rajat Gupta is from West Bengal.
