It’s funny to look back as someone who was seven when SimEarth came out. It was anything but a throwaway game for me, as I played it for months on a mostly daily basis. Same with SimAnt and whatever other similar games I could get my hands

The current trend in corporate values emphasizes having three of these, but I love the acronym.

This seems likely, as it parallels traditional proctored testing. There will likely be a few “install this spyware on the machine you will be interviewing on” companies trying to make it even worse somewhere in the middle.

The answer is more often “yes” when referring to academic studies, as your Wikipedia source calls out via a reference to https://gwern.net/doc/statistics/2016-cook.pdf > A 2016 study of a sample of academic jou

Has there been any indication that this is a Wrangler or some variation? I assume it’s a more generic looking SUV.

Correct, although IMHO it’s also fine to use exacerbation in this specific example (if you see the problem from a process standpoint instead of the frustration faced by job seekers and recruiters).

by mathgeek 2y ago
Both words are appropriate, as exasperated means “made worse or more intense”. They are synonyms.

With a more integrated system (e.g. all Tesla hardware involved or simply a charger that can communicate with the vehicle's software), sensors and software may specify what it needs to be in order for charging to commence. Otherwise it

I would assume that those spending equivalent time sitting or standing outside end up with more vitamin d, seasonal issues with sunburn/frostbite, and tend to get rained on more often.

That’s partially the competitive aspect as well. High school is peak “everyone can find something to compete in” for a lot of communities. Before that sports are usually more about play and afterwards tend more to recreation or exercise. Ag

Batteries charge better when in a certain temperature range, due to physics. If you tell an EV you are heading to a charger, it can prep the battery to the proper temps.

If you don’t know who owns something, that’s not transparency.

This is a fair and, as far as I can tell, accurate response. There's a huge difference between new runner strategy and optimized runner strategy. Any optimized fitness/habit plan should be just complex enough that you will maintai

How would you handle the part of transparency that requires knowing who owns the assets?

Even if a source of information is "perfect" (heavy emphasis on quotation marks), it's always good to have other good sources.

What are your assumptions for the chances involved here? It seems intuitive that the "harder" options would still be better odds. Did you perhaps means that it _feels_ like their chances are that low for any other option?

I assume the reason for the downvoting is because gp called out the people rather than just stating what the activity is. This is leading to us assuming what each responder considers the most likely activity.

Thanks for bringing this up. It's always good to remember that while there are lawyers earning seven digits, there are also those earning government/non-profit salaries, and lots in the middle.

Sadly this is true for me. Much as I wish ebooks had the freedoms that come with paper, I value reduced physical clutter more than the ability to share and resell.

They are referring to buying BTC in the hopes it will go up in value. Purely a “buy for x, hope to sell for more than x” investment. Same as most folks invest in stocks.
