Okcupid - although recent dating apps are apparently more challenging, at least for a time dating sites helped nerdy people find each other, and have those awkward 'do you want to date me' conversations in a safe way.

This study seems to answer the question of 'who would the team select as a leader', but in reality project leadership at companies is rarely a democracy. People move jobs a lot in the tech industry, so as a result senior roles are

That stuff, about 6% of deaths occur on the freeway versus 20% of miles are on the freeway. The majority of autopilot is gonna be in freeway or similar roads so let's call that 10 deaths for every Tesla death. Anecdotally tesla put a l

That's starting from the assumption you are doing this to engineer your children ands psychology. Actually I think a lot of people find it awkward to watch graphic sex scenes and extended nudity with their family. As a grown up, the I

On the other hand huge amounts of dumb vc money went into blockchain related companies. I was seeing a lot of top dollar points job ads looking for block chain experience. Also its not fair to say this is a flying car. The crypto, even the

Eastern Europe is in a wierd time where it has the infrastructure, market access, and human resources of a rich country, but much lower cost of living and pay. That isn't sustainable - we will just see things equalise with Germany and

We might be able to detect genetic engineering quite simply... By comparing genomes, you can construct a philogenetic tree of known animsls, and thier hypothetical ancestors the instances where a mutation popped into being making a species

Sorry for the late reply, perhaps you will read this. I am aware that the regulations should allow GP surgery to register a person with limited ID to register, but my experience was that, even after exchanging emails from practice managers

This makes a lot of sense now I think about it, but it does seem like institutionalized corruption? "We have 300K - shall we spend it improving our product or hiring an NED who happens to be VP at a big target enterprise customer?&quot

It's a shame - we have automatic translation so articles in a language most visitors can't read are still useful to them. Of course the submitter could fix this themself with some effort but we will lose good content if we rely on

Access to NHS non emergency services requires gp registration, and NHS gp registration requires proof you live near the surgery. If you are a contractor living in shared houses and moving every few months, you cannot get this proof of addre

Several apparent reports of someone trying to buy old de-activated github pgp keys. This is probably a social engineering attack - presumably the attacker is gonna want the key pair in the hope the private key will unlock... something else.

I think your diagram is for switiching to a data scientist role. In data scientist job ads I often see companies that want a phd, advanced stats skills, and depending on the role AI related skills. They want to see track record in these, bu

But if historic video from the device is no longer associated with the original account, does it get deleted or just owner change? who is to say it doesn't get given to the new account... You'd have to try it and see.
