That's not the same thing as bartering at all. When you do a favor for a friend (like giving a referral for a job), do you see it as a transaction where you expect them to pay you back at some point?

I'm pretty sure Spotify does pay artists a fraction of the subscription revenue, based on the number of listens relative to other artists.

Because the dress code for women is more sexualized than the dress code for men, and also expects women to wear heels, something that's not healthy and bad for your joints.

Twitter and other social media companies already heavily censor users that fall outside of the overton window (left or right). And now they have another justificiation to keep doing this, with all the buzz around deepfakes. It amazes me th

My cat is weirdly smart and he will play fetch. He's really good at figuring out whatever new "game" I'm trying to play with him. Some more examples of his social intelligence: - He will play tricks on me. He's l

Just as a counterpoint...I was successful throughout school and college but crashed and burned as soon as I moved to a new city for a software job at Amazon. Later, after quitting due to mental health issues I got a diagnosis for ADHD. I

Hm, I'm not sure about that. In uptown Charlotte, I see homeless people (white or black) getting harassed by police and security guards when they're just sitting in a public area with a sign.

I've seen some articles written by former MIT Media Lab employees, and they made it seem like Epstein's involvement and history was basically an open secret that they weren't allowed to mention in emails or documents. There w

So their method for finding the signal was to calculate the signal, then subtract it from the data and see if the residual noise looks like noise...how is that good science? It seems like it would be too easy to make your data fit the theo

I think this used to be more common when in the 60s and 70s, when shelters were basically run by small groups of women volunteers and relied on word-of-mouth to get the word out. A lot of shelters are now public, get funding, and have webs

I think you have to have a deep intuition about a subject area before you can easily determine if a paper is trash or not. Even then, people who are knowledgeable in some area aren't impervious to bad research.

Follow up question - Does anyone have advice for changing your mindset so you actually notice a potential idea when you have some pain point? I feel like I ignore my own ideas that seem insignificant. It just isn't a reflex to think

I've never seen a begging homeless person with expensive shoes or a brand new phone. And during the winter time, most shelters are at capacity and have to turn people away. And please do some research on the foster care system in the

This is interesting, it sounds like your wife went to an underground/unlisted type of women's shelter?

Ex-Amazon employee here. I started at Amazon right out of college so I definitely learned a lot, but the work itself wasn't really challenging. Most of what I worked on were basic CRUD services and web UI's. Once the newness of

In general, being charming helps. Charm/charisma is just being fully engaged in a conversation with a person - no looking around the room scanning for someone you'd rather talk with, don't interrupt them and actually listen

Do you have any theory about how you caught hep-c? What's your experience with treatment? Did your insurance cover it?

Just leave your GPA off of your resume. I was surprised to read that in this article, my GPA wasn't great but I've never been turned down for a job because of it. In my experience, companies only ask about your transcript if you

Not OP, but I'm guessing it's because linked lists are recursive and hashtables are not, so in a functional programming language you can do lots of clever things in a recursive way.
