Yes, and I'm calling bullshit on that. The issue isn't confusing + with -, it's everything else. Credit limits, setting up campaigns "by accident" etc etc. The story is bullshit. Either didn't happen, or wasn&#

Hahaha neither! I actually thought you were looking to understand what I meant. If I came across as condescending I guess you already knew all this, in which case I'm not sure why you said the other guy made a guy point. So now I'

I didn't say they weren't facts, I was just pointing out that if you have a quote and want to know it's correct, you just google it. Don't you agree with that?

I know, I know :-/ What can I tell you, I think trying to use things you don't understand to show how much smarter you are, is the ultimate intellectual dishonesty. I think the world would be a better place (or at least more humbl

Morgawr I suggest you go around this thread and read that guy's comments. You'll notice that they're all in the direction of "other people merits aren't such a big deal". His implication that passing an intervi

I noticed the same thing. I couldn't help but read his response in Trump's voice. "I'm very very smart, believe me. I went to a tremendous school and learned yuge words. No one knows causation better than me let me tell

Wow, no other answer could've made me this happy. Next time someone asks me why I think philosophy degrees are useless, I have something specific to point them to.

What happened to you exactly? You got tricked by linkedin to giving it access to your contacts (which is understandable, linkedin is known for its dark patterns)? Or it happened to you that linkedin magically accessed your contacts even tho

Guys, you're a technical crowd. How would this even be possible? I mean, if you haven't given access to your gmail contacts to linkedin through oauth, this shouldn't be possible. If you have... you should expect that the app

There's this website where you type in things and it searches those things for you. The url is google.com, you should check it out. http://edition.cnn.com/2003/US/01/10/wbr.smoking.gun/

Something is strange with this story. On adwords, to spend money and only be charged at the end of the month you have to be accepted into monthly billing. You have to apply for it. It's not something that you do by accident because you

Another way to put it would be that "all physics is either perturbative or non-perturbative", although this one doesn't sound as catchy since it is transparently a tautology ;-)

Exactly. And furthermore, the more niche and complex a topic is, the smaller the pool of people qualified to massage a specialist topic into a generalist audience.

Physics is complex man, what did you expect. If you know nothing, you need to learn a lot in order to even understand their starting point. And regarding wikipedia articles, there's two big design alternatives: for each article you eit

Well..... what do you mean by screw up? If the forces of capitalism are coming after your margin, did they screw up by losing Costco? Or did they screw up by not remaining competitive? Inside Amex, if you had given the Costco account to a m

I appreciated it. I notice that in about 80% of your comments on your comment history you mention how old you are. Maybe you're just getting grumpy?

I don't think it's a non-story the fact that some market participants can short sell non-existent amounts of stocks. Is this common knowledge? Did everyone already know this but me?

His results are very general. They depend only only on the fact that keywords with more words have lower search volume. For any industry for which this is true (i.e. any), you will find qualitatively similar results. If you think about it,

Thanks buddy. I will have to investigate their team and work first, but then I might apply. Crazy!
