You interacted with a homeschooled student who made it to college. Huge difference compared to the average homeschooled student.

I guess they are targeting recent college grads living with roommates and building a simple B2C product. Others need to be either independently wealthy (but then why raise this tiny round?) or live somewhere else.

Those numbers are quite low and would not make for livable employee salaries in Silicon Valley. Does this mean the next batch of startups have to have everyone work remotely from a LCOL?

It does rhyme in translation! And yes, there is a lot of hard work in taking a poem from another language, adapting it to not only not sound weird but also preserve as many of the little connotations of words, and then also making it rhyme

It's like buying a dozen Ford F-150s in different colors and claiming a diverse mix of capability. After all, the elite applicants all have essentially the same background and identity, and the only difference is skin color. Downvote a

I can think of a few reasons. - Russians like poetry that actually rhymes - "The Jungle Book" and "Riki Tiki Tavi" were very popular - The controversial pieces like "The White Man's Burden" weren't tr

If the IRS (hypothetically) doesn't have the letter on file, how would one go about fixing such a problem?

I'm not anti-science, I'm anti performative science for the sake of "doing science". And anti "we can't do proper science so let's throw up our hands". Helping individual kids and yes, relying on an

Like many things that are orthodox in education research, this is likely wrong.

No kidding. "Significantly" is 3x. But I'm sure they'll find a way it's either irrelevant, or the boys' own fault. The researchers likely would not get funding any other way. The comments under the article ar

And yet you seem very intent on correcting what you think is oh-so-wrong: the rest of the world perceiving the US as a little too pretentious. Could it be that the people of the US might actually care what the rest of the world thinks abou

My classmate back from Uni is a pretty high up manager working on GM infotainment (as is his dad). He (the classmate) failed and had to retake CS101 three times.

No, I don't recall that. I recall a lot of flame wars and virtue signaling about mask wearing. I recall a lot of denial of science because of ideology and fear. And a lot of name calling.

But how can it be anything other than a zero-sum game? We are biomechanical units with a limited lifespan. We rent out this lifespan to the highest bidder we can access. And then we die. And if one of the bio robots happens to be in a di

Because OKRs focus on one thing at the expense of everything else, while claiming this is a feature, not a bug.

by khzw8yyy 3y ago
The problem with OKRs is that they are a religion. Once a metric is established it becomes a god to worship at the expense of all else, until the harmful effects of such single mindedness become painful enough that the old god is deposed a

Those things are on different axes, are they not? Joe Biden is a democratically elected president, and... well, he's showing his age.

I don't think there's a big difference for the customer. In either case the vendor has full grasp on those family jewels and can name any price for their product or service. See also: everyone eagerly awaiting an actual viable a

This simply doesn't work without grinding, and grinding happens to be sufficient (whereas understanding is not). You aren't just supposed to solve a problem (and can't think back to your college years, pull out your copy of C

This is absolutely the point. All these interviews are checking is "does this person spend all of their free time on a task we assign to them, no matter how boring". Or, "do they go above and beyond".

So if support is so high, why suppress the elections in Ukraine? And by the way, the article alludes to the exact opposite "betrayal": the peace talks were a sham to get Russia to pull back from Kiev.

by khzw8yyy 3y ago
Yeah, Ukraine continues to fight mostly because the West tell them to. There was an early attempt at peace talks that was sabotaged. https://meduza.io/amp/en/news/2023/11/25/head-of-ukraine-del.

Our CTO is from Google and likes Bazel. It's awful to work with and is slowing down development tremendously. The worst part is packaging up third-party dependencies.
