When choosing between A and B, talk to 3 people who chose A, and 3 people who chose B, and ask them why they made that choice, and whether in retrospect they still think it was the right choice.

Problems like that can only be fully fixed by correctly taxing externalities so that they're priced in. Telling one person on the internet to change their behavior won't have much impact.

Yeah if we really cared about equality of outcome we'd be funding men's health to the tune of trillions to reduce the life expectancy gap.

I remember reading an article about how a large proportion of tech venture capital ultimately makes its way into the pockets of Silicon Valley landlords. Georgism posits as a general principle that a lot of money is captured as land rent.

p is a probability in range [0, 1]. So if p = 1/128, the expansion is 0.0000001. In this case the algorithm says you return tails unless you flip 7 heads in a row (which happens with probability 1/128).

Intuitively, you're building a random real number in the range [0, 1) bit by bit, and returning 0 or 1 once you're sure that number is above or below threshold p.

Doesn't that assume the distribution at time 1 is also the distribution at time 2, which isn't entirely true since the source is already sightly less radioactive then?

Isn't a mall just a private version of a public walkable space? Like what the town square used to be, except ironically with malls in order to reach the walkable space you have to drive there.

Did you apply cold, or get referrals? I think having an acquaintance at FANG to refer you is an important foot in the door if you have no prior FANG work experience.

I think green card and naturalization ask about travel in the last few years. But they don't ask about travel prior to that, and they don't ask about Iran specifically.

If all countries imposed visa reciprocity, Europeans would lose a lot of their visa free privileges too. The fundamental principle deciding visa restrictions isn't reciprocity, it's power.

Maybe not but it only takes 2 years to reach 1/2 adult height. That hardly seems the worst problem - better to (temporarily) be a midget than dead, surely?
