They hired rockstars because back then, all the rockstars wanted to work for them. The only focus of their hiring process was how to reject the 'B' candidates. They knew they would get enough 'A's applying that they coul

If spontaneity is overrated then why participate in a simulacrum of spontaneity? This app doesn't suggest that you do longer term things to support your partner and make their life easier. It proposes that you fake being in a honeymoon

Some people want to dedicate a lot of their work time and energy to LARPing Tony Stark. Other people just want to deliver the value the company needs, get paid, and pursue their other goals outside of their job.

Not sure if you are disagreeing with my comment but I don't see any contradiction. You are showing your wife that you are thinking about her and that you care about her wellbeing. The fact that there's a time lag between the momen

The EU rules are essentially that if you give them information for a particular purpose, they can only use it for that purpose and no other. So they obviously want to break this. Doubtless if you use this you're training a model that u

> Being spontaneous requires energy. A lot of people lack energy but still loves their partner. The point is that you have a limited amount of energy, but you chose to dedicate some of it to something your partner would like. Optimising

What "other problems in that relationship" do you think they might have? Doing little surprises for someone, texting them to wish them a good day, etc, is a form of signalling. People like it because they know that you are thinkin

If you allow complex coefficients then the distribution is rotationally symmetric in the complex plane. So a root is no more likely to be in the real line than in any other line through the origin. There would be vanishingly few polynomials

Wouldn't it be fair to distinguish between the baseline probability of any death, and the baseline probability of a death that could plausibly be suspicious, such as gunshot suicide?

Your first point: this would obviously be serious fraud. I'm not sure if you have any evidence of this in this particular case or is you are alleging this is standard practice by PE funds? Your second point: why would someone lend mone
