Yeah but I'm not the person making the hiring decision, I'm just the interviewer. The way this works at companies like Google is that the interviewers submit feedback to the hiring committee and the hiring committee decides.

The recruiters tell you if they want you to ask questions about specific topics and realistically I'm only going to get to ask one question anyway. The main bias that I'm trying to avoid is knowing what school the candidate went

It's hiring committee's job to read the resume, not the interviewer's.

by s17n 8y ago
I make it a point to not read resumes unless I'm supposed to be asking questions about their contents, to avoid bias.

Bikking on the sidewalk is illegal, which might be why pedestrians don't expect it to happen.

Don't know about the peninsula but biking on the sidewalk is illegal in SF.

So you're saying you don't like sharing the road with heavier, less maneuverable, and faster moving objects, so you bring your scooter/bike on the sidewalk? Makes sense.

So basically, you make peds feel unsafe so that you can feel safe.

As far as I can tell, Ethereum isn't actually doing anything interesting here - it's just being used to transmit pings to the server, which could just as easily be done with, for example, tcp/ip.

I think the problem with the focus is that the margins are essentially zero?

"Car" is the natural and correct word to use in the sentence, I don't find it clickbaity.

Which user uploaded which picture is irrelevant - whoever's face is in the picture has rights under gdpr.

He clearly meant "fail to reject" where he said "accept", you're quibbling about semantics. The whole post is about how p-values (and indeed, known statistical techniques) don't actually help you decide whethe

Because faces are personal information under the gdpr.

All I know is that my company stores image data and we don' do any face recognition but the lawyers say that to comply we need to start removing faces.

You are responsible to everyone who you have data about, regardless of whether or not they are your user. If I use your service to store a photo of my mom, you now have a legal obligation to her even though you don't even know she exis

Creditors get paid before owners take profits legally. So your bad owner would have to be cooking the books. Eventually the creditors would sue the owners, and ultimately recover whatever money hadn't already been burned on thousand

There's no such thing as a margin call on a mortgage.

That is a problem that classical economics trivially solves - humane meat is already unaffordable for most people.

Some bitcoin advocates think that blockchain-based financial products will somehow provide credit while solving the problem of systemic risk, which doesn't seem possible to me. Others think that credit is just a scam and the main utili

Consumer behavior can change. With good marketing, it seems plausible that humane meat and dairy could become a big market, way bigger than veganism.

I've only tried the Birds but it was awful.

Not to be condescending but do you live in the city? Cause the roads are not really scooter ready.

by s17n 9y ago
Have you tried that with a scooter? It's not pleasant. For bikes, sure.

by s17n 9y ago
The problem isn't parking, it's where are these things going to drive? Bikes work OK on the street but scooters really don't (even where there are protected lanes, they really need a smoother road surface) so they end up rid

The problem isn't parking, the problem is that to work well they need dedicated lanes. I agree that this should happen but it's not as easy as taking a parking space per block - you'd have to eliminate half of all the parkin

Thanks for the writeup! Have you compared against a vehicle with a decent adaptive cruise control (but no autopilot)?

Question for Tesla owners: if you're actually keeping your hands on the wheel and staying mentally engaged, what's the point of autopilot?

Not as bad as a motorized scooter but still not "perfectly fine".
