Yeah, just do the same Mike Tyson did, but be faster, hit harder and be more aggressive :)

I also think some of those CEOs should be fired, but I don't even think there was over hiring... It's more that demand went up by a lot suddenly, and then down by a lot suddenly.

Same difference, after 7-10 years, it becomes a banger, or at least it has enough problems that you worry.

You may be confused and may want to post on 'who wants to be hired' https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38490809 . This is for people who have jobs and want people.

Besides the old/young divide, I think there's the geek/suit, or maker/manager divide. As a geek, most of my time is spent working alone, even in ill-defined projects that require a lot of coordination and communication.

A monotonical decrease on the supply of stuff, like what we've had with oil.

Except we'll not always get those undergrads ... When most of the stories are about layoffs, we won't get any more majors, but it takes ~5 years to start (not that many people will change majors).

How much can they relax the requirements, and what effects would it have on their products? Alternatively, how much more they'd have to pay to get the same quality of people? I'd assume it's close to 20% more, which should be

For normal fiction, the Kindle is ideal for me. Much more comfortable to hold than even a small paperback, can increase the font size (getting old) and can illuminate the screen. Plus, I can carry a full library with me. I haven't foun

Notice you are creating your own arbitrary definition of 'truly open', which IMHO corresponds more with 'reproducible'. We already have a definition of open source. I don't see any reason to change it.

Actually the issue is not residency; basically everyone who graduates med school gets a residency. The filter is on entering med school.

Because I want to see my kids become full adults? I want to meet my grandkids? There's still a lot of things I want to see and do.

My kids are older now, but I found this very interesting - https://www.kogics.net/kojo One thing that worked for me is to let them guide me. When they stopped being interested I'd wait a few months and try again

If you are reading this, ignore the despair and misogynism above. We definitely can use more programs, but there are tons of programs, government and private. Community college is cheap (or free with grants). You can do this.

In the US? The most obvious way would be to get a crappy job, enter community college; in two years, get an associates and a better job, and go from there.

Unemployment is low because the economy is growing, and our population has been getting older on average. We have many different ways of measuring unemployment, which count different things. For example, employment to population ratio of pr

Why wild? Most people can have a few drinks, and stop before getting drunk; that's normal. Drinking until you are drunk is not normal.

Actually, I work for one of the FAANGs. The vast majority of employees don't one to go back to the office either. What makes it even worse is the one-size-fits-all mandate, with strict enforcement, like you didn't come in to the o

Ivies have about a 5% admission rate, and they probably have a much higher percentage of valedictorians than the general population. They probably reject way more than 50% of the valedictorian/800 SAT applicants they have. Unless you a

Slacking 'hey, can we do a quick huddle?' takes about the same time as walking to someone's desk (less if the desk is far away;)

Not sure if this would work for you, but I tend to have ad-hoc, 1on1 video calls with people. If you are not doing deep work, it's no biggie. I also would schedule 1on1 meetings to 'catch-up' (not too many of them, but ...) D

A lot of people cheat, but you also need to keep in mind most disabilities are not binary, but have degrees. Many people may be able to get up the wheelchair and walk a little, but may not be able to walk a mile in the airport... Or may not

That is ... wrong, or at least very reductionist. Yes, I do my work for money, and would not do it if they don't pay me, but it's definitely not just money. I like my team, have personal friends among them, and find pleasure and

Of course! Basically everything is paid by somebody (TANSTAAFL). Nobody thinks that free education is magically free, everybody understands that it's paid by taxes/government/society. OTOH, it is a much cooler slogan than &#x
