...Wow. This article changed my opinions dramatically. Really thankful to see an article like this. It puts the emphasis on irresponsible (whether it's intended or not) journalism as a huge problem here in the US, as opposed to all the

In my head this sounds pretty bad. this sounds like kids won't be aspiring to be in a career that naturally involves some degree of curiosity and wonder and general coolness (astronaut), but rather some rando on YouTube with a pop filt

I'm not really a huge fan of that channel in terms of the political content and overall presentation of each topic. But more to the point, this advice can really backfire -- maybe it will become a contest of who can speak the loudest,

Just a little reminder that many workers in fact do not get treated well just because their company thinks they do.

It's very possible they genuinely think they're doing the right thing and helping the world. Meanwhile, many, many people outside of that bubble think they're doing the wrong thing. (If only they talked to their users... but

We Americans are living in a pretty stressful time as well (i.e. politically, financially, among other things). I can't name the study(ies) to show it, but psychology has told us that stressful environments correlate with poverty and o

Yes, absolutely. Put enough money into it and scientists/startups will figure it out. I'd like to see someone prove that we can't reverse most of what we've done (besides extinction of different species which is obviou

I have the exact opposite opinion, plus my cousin is a robotics/ML professor who has to deal with this same issue in his research group. Indeed, tons of scientists really have no idea about style, testing, etc. They're happy to ju

>We've long lost the war on privacy. A bit of unnecessary FUD alarmism here. Seems like today's answer is no, probably not. It's just very difficult, requiring (i.e.) policy changes and mass adoption and transparent phone

Going in the opposite direction, this means it's generally becoming more likely for the people you meet (even if you meet very briefly) to not have any real close friends, people to hang out with, etc. Therefore, if you're feeling

I agree, I'm not saying a simple proof is ever out of the question either. But my failed attempt makes me wonder how much of a creative burst a typical person would have to have in order to come up with a simple solution in this case.

Yes! I had a lot of ideas but didn't get anywhere, including: - reframe the real part of a complex input s as 1/2 + k for -1/2 < k < 1/2, since we're only looking at the critical strip 0 < Re(s) < 1. The

Neat. I mean, I don't understand the mathspeak since I stopped taking math after calculus in college, but it's neat to see fun approaches turn into viable tactics for finding a solution. By coincidence I toyed with the problem a b

Interesting note indeed. I remember there being a different Minecraft Classic mode from somewhere around 2009-10 that just ran on Java and you could play it through a browser (Java applet I guess) or download a Java client. The server was

Wow, seems like most of the comments here are just blaming the author, trying to find all the flaws with her story, or dropping truth bombs about big companies and jobs in our society ("coworkers aren't your friends", etc). I

If I understand this right, #3 happened and was (allegedly) resolved before #1 and #2 happened, so that's not a fair shake. #1 and #2 are still valid points.

Apples and oranges. I just mentioned it because I saw another comment somewhere about engr. physics, and it reminded me of my friends' experiences in their program.

Just to clarify, I don't think it's inherently a bad thing either. But these were the words given to me by physics grad students at the time.

I'm not the person you're replying to, but yeah, lots of people become programmers with a bachelor's in physics and they've done programming classes, projects, etc. on the side. That path is totally fine if you eventuall

I've also heard the opposite, that it leads to absolutely nothing and you are kind of treated like a PhD dropout, at least in the US. Just be careful, I guess, and get plenty of advice from real people who took that path (successfully

I dislike Twitter but this article is pretty sensationalist. Too much emphasis on the petty complaints. The actual "conversation" was fine.
