Exactly. This is basically like the workplace equivalent to the Ashley Madison scandal, only pre-planned.

UC Berkeley alumni here. Don’t know that this is a good thing. Currently, the UC’s provide a lot of weight to holistic applications. These often favor privileged kids, as they have access to far more opportunities than others. For some, the

How you can compare a dashboard that was so blatantly false it warranted a public-apology to a dashboard that DOES show sources And presents the info straightforward is beyond me. If your point is about phases, maybe re-word your initial co

??? The Kong’s conclusion wasn’t causal with any statistical certainty (which is what the above is arguing). It was anecdotal. Maybe the poison doesn’t work for carriers of certain genes. Maybe it’s temperature reactive. Maybe it’ll take we

That interesting. I guess it’s something you wouldn’t know if you didn’t spend much time playing blackjack, but for others reading: casinos are usually open about identifying people counting. For example, Barona casino, which had some of th

Yep. The only time you can join a table mid-game at most casinos is at tables you wouldn’t want to join anyways: $5-15 minimum bets (important because the lower the minimum bet, the lower the spread you can bet before check play gets called

This is correct. I’ve been removed from three casinos for counting. First time: two men in suits came over, made me leave the table, walked me over to cash out and said I couldn’t come back again. The other two times I was only banned from

Yeah, not only did he throw his water bottle out of anger, he tried to appeal over something he lied about. Hard to care about him at all after seeing that behavior.

The about claims this list is for covid19 layoffs? I work for Amazon, and (afaik) we’re not doing covid-related layoffs right now, so it seems a bit disingenuous to use this list if you were laid off for PIP/dev plan or other reasons.

Not at all. My twin brother went that route, and we’re both at FAANG. I also don’t feel any different for not having done much cs before uni.

Love your layers of hate-keeping. Not only did they learn before uni, they actually learned before uni, none of that fake bs! Never mind that most of the people learning before uni did so from opportunity - they often had an engineer in t

If we’re assuming these vehicles are FULLY autonomous, a simple fix for this is to add a manual override that allows the driver to drive for themselves. Then the heist is basically as effective as it’d be today. (To be honest, I’d be surpri
