My point is that there are plenty of electrical engineers, computer engineers etc... who never take the FE or PE exam.

Other engineering disciplines hire engineers who don’t have a PE all the time. There are more engineering disciplines where taking the PE exam is the minority than the other way around.

There's definitely a double standard. But Canadians and Europeans make up less than 5% of the total number of undocumented immigrants in the US. So I still stand by my point that poor white people aren't likely to have undocumente

A binary heap has some advantages over using a balanced tree that could have significant performance impacts (and vice versa). Particularly in a situation where you need to roll your own priority queue. That's why I said it's like

There's intense critique of the Big Five model within psychology, and with what we've learned about the reproducibility of psychology studies , I'd be shocked if those studies you linked were reproducible.

You’re trying awful hard to save your point. Target heart rate declining and blood pressure rising with age in no way implies that most people who later die of heart disease are somehow less reproductively fit when they are younger.

No it doesn’t. At least not normally. Google the prevalence rates of heart disease in people under 40. About 0.6% of people under 40 have the most common type of heart disease https://www.heart.org/idc/groups/heart

Yes, but the vast majority of people who die from heart disease don’t develop it until they are older. Which is why it’s misleading to talk about it being America’s #2 cause of death when discussing evolutionary pressure.
