What keeps you from being employed as a store clerk or something like that? Is it citizenship issues? Have you tried remote work sites, or something like upwork? Is there an unemployment office near you? It might even be your location, per

I think what brings this back are specialized technologies which are inaccessible to non-techies because of the time or effort required to engage with them. Making it onerous for bots to access these places may also be helpful. I came to te

I think anyone blaming Israel for Hamas's action or supporting students who made such a callous statement is on the wrong side of history. Whatever happened in the past doesn't justify brutality and savagery against civilians. Peo

That's fair, the links I put in mine are to my lab and own websites. I am not aware of any better way to share that info other than maybe tiny urls.

The study seems incomplete without an understanding of what features the test group think the penguin should have (like the author described about height, beak etc.). I wonder if there would have been similarities that would have exposed ei

Seems like you're sending plain text emails, no? I have links for websites, resume etc. in the signature so I am not sure how this is conducive to that. Unless there is a method to add a signature with links?

Resumes by design just focus on the positives/accomplishments. References cover the "maybe there are some areas of improvements" part.

I don't think rules are akin to helmets in your analogy, I think more like having a dummy head that gets hit instead :)

What do you expect to see on a resume or cv? DSM-5 like breakdown of personality traits and characteristics? Maybe some startup can sell that as a service. The toxic positivity or virtue signaling on LI posts crosses the border from "s

Maybe set a filter or a rule to send their emails to junk or another mailbox? Rules for email services are the best.

W.r.t birdwatching, you should get a nest cam and birdhouse, the videos of birds building nests and laying eggs are equal parts amazing and adorable. I've taken up drumming, it's quite nice. I've also taken up going to variou

A bias may preclude someone from considering a different perspective, but I am not sure all biases are inherently damaging to society.

Didn't they have a board or some kind of accountability from the investor side at the amount of funding? Why not?

Anyone who belittles you for interacting professionally with them is really just exposing themselves as an asshole, and their behavior is not reflective of you or your worth as a person. That said, what options do you have to train and do s

> Giving $100M was trivial for him to do. So? Expecting altruism to the point of self-sacrifice is narcissistic and selfish. I can appreciate however why humans have evolved to foster altruistic attitudes. The problem is that people with

Idk, it really depends on how strong your affiliated lobby group is. The average voter competes against the Havard Kennedy or Oxford etc. graduate-led super PACs, lobby groups, whatever. So yes, it gets easier to believe "democracy&quo

Ideally, the panacea to such nightmares is democracy. In practice, history shows that greedy people with power often don't understand anything other than force (sadly).

You're right, but I wasn't talking about people who optimize for beauty. I was talking about women who merely are beautiful and have to apply all sorts of non-make up to appear like they belong in academia or engineering.

As others have mentioned, brain vs. brawn is a false cultural dichotomy, and a particular female variant is brain vs. beauty (or if you're sexist, then you call them a bimbo instead of beautiful). Beautiful women often have to wear a n

Advertising and marketing infiltrates everything, which is why so much of insta, youtube and tiktok is insufferable (and why I avoid those platforms). Influencers made everything contrived and inauthentic, while pretending to the opposite.
