Spot on. An interesting point to explore would be to see if students who has a low score and took the test again and got a higher score, and has similar high school performance, performs at the same level as the non-submitters with a low sc

That could get complicated fast. Imagine ten thousand copies of your brain, all with different ages, experiences, and opinions, deciding what to do with your money, how to educate your children, what kind of relationship you want with your

The difference is that you cannot meet face to face with the delta you from before you went to sleep, thus all rights and privileges reside within one continuous body through time. It depends if you are comfortable with having an extremely

I wouldn't mind working in a different place than at home, but I've grown accustomed to having a 27" screen, and having to switch to using just the 13" screen of my work laptop would drive me bonkers. Perhaps one day whe

My previous company had done mid-week outings (definitely not Fridays, people want to go home), where everyone in the team kicks off at 3PM, go see a movie together (the team splitting up based on what movie they wanted to see), then have a

Writing under a pseudonym can be seen as brand management, so that the brand of one name does not leak to the brand of another. For example, Nora Roberts, the romance novelist, uses the pseudonym J.D. Robb when writing futuristic suspense n

What are the use cases for this program and Croc? What does "safely" mean? Is this to share files amongst untrusted computers? For a small number of files, I currently just email them. If the file is too big, Google Drive or MS On

Cans for food is actually one thing I would like to see addressed with an alternative. With how ubiquitous cans are, it was a source of plastic in contact with foods that is difficult to avoid.

There is an issue with that just like with programming languages. Do we want to standardize on one programming language for all use cases? Because they have different expressiveness and core concepts, not all programming languages are the b

That's exactly the point. The "how hard can this be" comments are often applying an individual use case, where corner cases can be ignored or worked around, to an enterprise situation, where corner cases may hit some legal co

Do you think your case is a typical case? How much does experience count? How much did you need to educate yourself to reach this level? Were there any major stumbles or obstacles? I am encouraged by your story, but am also weary that it on
