Went through a similar experience like hers many years ago working for a consulting company. In big corporations, it sometimes feels like there are many little smaller companies within. Often they have very distinctive and rigid cultures wh

This is an interesting angle. Next generation will pretty much be exposed to pollution by the moment they're born. Technically their kids will inherit a slightly mutated version already even though it might not yet be enough. Does our

According to the evolution theory, eventually our DNA will evolve to adapt to its external environment so does this mean given enough daily exposure over many generations, at some time in a distant future our immune system will no longer co

But that has always been the way how Capitalism works. It's never meant to serve the mass as only the fittest, or the luckiest shall I say to avoid the meritocracy mentality, will reap the majority of benefits. In most industries we lo

I think what he meant was that Google's methodology prioritizes in anonymizing their data in the pipeline as to not to link it with any specific individuals, as opposed to Facebook's data which is often directly tied to a person.

So they are saying that even Facebook wouldn't even be able to read your messages. Wait a moment, if I go on Facebook Ads, I can target users based on some very precise and specific criteria like interests, then how would Facebook know

This is a perfect example of how everything in life is always a trade off. Do you want a healthier heart to live a few extra years or do you want to sit on your couch and browse HN while enjoying your BigMac? Pick one because only a fool wo

It's disheartening that this med is being used to treat infants and they wouldn't even leave those helpless babies alone. Healthcare is a $3.5 trillion dollar per year industry and is powering 20% of U.S economy, but I think the p

You're right, I used to know a few vegetarians who often supplement their diets with Vitamin B-12 which theoretically could help boosting and balance their cognitive ability vs. meat eaters. I personally did not notice any cognitive pr

Inflammation is often an immune system response to a foreign agent, and I read somewhere that prions could also be triggered and formed for the same reason so there might actually be a link. I imagine chronic inflammation over a long period

Is it possible that these prions were also acquired by human through meat consumption? As in the case with PrP prion from Mad Cow Disease which spread through meat eating as well. Another very similar case is by eating fruit bats containing

I always shit on Facebook in the past but I have to be honest, their ad campaigns don't require buyers to do keywords research which is often a major pain. In addition, they seem to know a lot more about their end users so it's ea

Elon Musk recently said LIDAR system was just too expensive and unnecessary as he's betting on using Tesla's video cameras for their own automated driving. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

You do have a point here. I think it's mostly due to the fact there's very little information about China available on Western media, so people just do not have access to the latest insights. This explains why most of them are st

You're right. I should have clarified myself better. Those best elements were mostly applied to building wealth for China and strengthening their economy only. Other aspects related to political ideologies which will always be very dif

I spent first half of my life in Asia, and second half in the West so I am very much under influenced by cultures on both sides. I've always tried my best to view these issues as objectively as possible and without any biases. China of

I wonder in what situation exactly would a company legitimately have a need to interview a candidate for a total of 5 rounds? Wouldn't they run out of questions to ask? Are you applying for a CEO position? All it does is displaying for
