This is amazing, thanks so much for making this list. I spent a bunch of time looking for an impactful job in this space, and found it hard in the bay area -- a hub of consumer tech and tech b2b, but too expensive for companies doing this k

This list is full of hilariously terrible advice. Was that intentional? On the internet, nobody know if you're a dog or being sarcastic, and I dread stumbling across a code base where someone took some of this stuff seriously. Examples

Predictions can be a tool to test your understanding, I guess maybe like a fantasy investing site to see how well you would do if you were investing real money. I've been playing a bunch of Metaculus[1] recently for this reason. I do a

my standard response to this is the one i learned from william macaskill at oxford, and is an extension to a line of reasoning from peter singer. peter singer believes that if you could save a child's life for two dollars, and you inst
