Yes I think you are right, buuuut... Lots of times the initial screen is done by someone totally non-technical, and they are asking questions from a sheet and judging whether you are saying what is in the answer field for their sheet. This

I don't know why there are special rules for popular websites. If there was some building in town where you had to show ID to get in and participate in whatever activity was going on, imagine when the ankle biters showed up and announ

I found this site to hurt my eyes and left me with really bad after images. It's dusk here and I haven't turned the lights on yet, maybe that is why, but I really prefer mild contrast when reading or I end up having striped after

Well assuming correlation implies causation (always safe), enjoy being poor.

Just a shot in the dark, but from your setup you and another person were meeting up at a bar, and then they got mad when you were only interested in talking about work... Maybe she was interested in you and kept dropping hints and you were

So what about my initial point? How does a mass moving in the absence of other masses know that a geodesic for it is a euclidian straight path? I would say that it doesn't, and that inertial motion in the absence of other masses is me

I disagree, I think you are assuming far more. My description is, from my limited understanding, just describing General Relativity, which is a totally accepted and highly verified by observation and experiment. Where you say it is incompat

I'm not an expert, but I simply don't understand your reasoning here. For example, lets suppose some mass is moving at a constant inertial velocity through empty space. To me it seems that your reasoning would require gravitons t

Intelligence is measurable and meaningful. It astonishes me that people can claim with a straight face that it is not. I suspect it is sour grapes or something? If intelligence isn't measurable, then you would agree that the average f

The author is referring to genius without defining it. You might say that being 1/1,000,000 in intelligence qualifies as a genius. However, that would still leave around 8000 people smarter in the world. This author seems to limit th

He didn't mention any research. Lets not start the 'prove that there is such a thing as smart people' debate again.

For one thing, the reason that options/shares aren't traded widely in earlier stage companies is regulatory. If you have too many investors, or something, you have more regulatory overhead to deal with. Small companies don'

Like half of this was talking about how the male was not letting the female asking the question (the male sounds like a bad interviewer for sure), and the other half was about how everyone 'literally applauded' what the author did

It's hard to say without seeing the terms, but raising money is not quite like selling a bunch of stock. The money probably comes with a bunch of terms, and if it's effectively a down round the terms are probably incredibly terri

Lets all waste time virtue-signalling about things we have no experience or expertise in, that are dominated by charismatic dummies we can barely communicate with, and that we'll have no measurable impact on! Or we can keep doing what

I would say that it's not that incompetent men become leaders. Certainly men are over-represented, but I would wager that woman leaders are no more competent on average. The truth is almost everyone is incompetent and leaders get more
