It is like you see your car is headed towards a ditch and you step on the gas. Quite amazed that such poor judgement was exercised throughout this incident - from deans and upper level admins no less - how out of touch with reality can some

I would reserve the high standards for some other setting (tech workers perhaps). Driving uber is worse than retail - nearly 100% of work is customer facing, the environment is cutthroat and many drivers can't catch a break (financial

With a number like this the typical outcome is that it becomes a factor in a school's US News ranking (average adversity score of incoming class for example). At that point a cottage industry is formed around this metric.

It is different when college board does it. When a university makes that decision, that is the student pool they are going to bring in and they take the risk with their graduation stats, employment stats and failure rates. When college boar

How are they going to boil all this down to a single number? So ridiculous. All these pseudoscientific people have taken the comfy position of unaccountable gatekeepers. Society's true vultures.

I believe members of this community refrain from entering the restaurant business due to religious reasons.

s3 is really good - the car reviews are back, the panoramic views and cinematic genius of top gear is back.

I really miss the Stig segments in the (now) old top gear with clarkson, may and hammond. Really unfortunate what happened to that show - it kept me going through some ugly periods in life.

I developed a mildly negative opinion of Singapore and HK when I saw their brightest minds enter the finance industry and wear three piece suits in sweltering weather every single day of the year. Never again have I seen so many successful

I have always what it is about places with a mediterranean climate that causes some sort of renaissance mindset to form there - Greece (well at least a while ago), Roman empire, Italian renaissance, Silicon Valley.... Maybe it is the air.

I am a semi-professional carpenter and wood carver - much better field to work in than frontend development.

hmm so Z3 has a timeout option you can set. In our experience we haven't really seen it hang or do anything out of the ordinary - unsat problems on average seem to take longer than sat problems (it probably needs to scan a lot more). W

Z3 is such a brilliant piece of software - we've been using it for some small scheduling problems - such a godsend.

It is a brilliant series - total game changer for me. Lots of ideas I (and others) could not express in concrete terms, he did.

I'm from a developing country with strong family ties to my country of origin (I am not white). Systemic efficiency is really high in the west. Almost top quality in successful countries like Singapore. A trip to some of the not so suc

A prime feature of the developing world is how full of bs a regular day is and how much time one has to waste just doing regular stuff. Browsing FB would be a godsend.

This is probably better delivered as a separate app - it is probably competing for real estate with a lot of other fb properties.

by shriphani 8y ago
Agreed 100% schema.org and whatever fb's equivalent is only "succeeded" because of the incentive in their ranking models (thus centralization). Highly unlikely someone will bother with this (in addition to all the other quirk

I always photograph (and sometimes even record video) of the build process of all my sculptures and carvings. They more than anything else help me reflect on my work and avoid the same pitfalls the next time.

As an example, what sort of portfolio should you set up for your money. Taleb's recommendation is to avoid all kinds of "risk-modeling" and to invest 80 - 90% in highly conservative investments and the remaining 10% in ultra

by shriphani 8y ago
The core point you missed in antifragile is inference in the presence of uncertainty - a conservative barbell like strategy (80-20 rule or 90-10 rule). This is very easy to overlook but this to me was the key takeaway - in structuring a por

yeah inbox basically causes chrome to beachball on OS X. They control the browser, the webapp and have still managed to put together an experience like this.

by shriphani 8y ago
A point that I've read in N.N. Taleb's incerto series is that it is a matter of scale. A small artisan who puts their name on their product is less likely to poison you and fuck your life up. Megacorps though operate with a very d
