The deaths come from lack of food and clean drinking water, caused by damage to infrastructure. 80% sounds too high and arbitrary tho.

I worked with someone who was hired because they were likeable, even though they didn’t meet the technical bar. It was a really good decision. They improved the overall atmosphere of the office and made it a nicer place to work.

In my last job search which ended 2 weeks ago. I wrote one good cover letter per day, sent directly to both the job poster and the application if it was possible to post a letter. Then I spent 20 min spamming my CV at anything remotely rele

I tried this and I’d usually didn’t do a good job. This surprised me. I think it’s because each point on the cv conveys a lot of information and you need logic to put it together. It would get experience from different jobs mixed up and wri

You could be right about a and b, but there is an option c: The battery is large (2m^3) this means that it’s most practical to put it in the garden, rather than taking up a whole room in the house.

About 1% of the general population, and 25% of prisoners are psychopaths. This means that they are unable to care about others in any meaningful sense. Psychopaths make decisions solely through a personal cost benefit analysis. On top of th

I let my mtgox claim ride and regret it. I could have sold the claim in 2015, bought bitcoin and had far more cash now. The payout will probably come in the next 10 years or so. The problem with letting a cryptocurrency bankruptcy ride is t

You can spike the algorithm that you think will be slow. Usually the slow algorithm is simple to implement and test. If you’re wrong about predicting the speed of the algorithm then you’ve got needlessly complicated code for the rest of the

Male-male mating is super common. The part you’re missing is that all of those males that mate with males will mate with females as well. The paper Wikipedia references about rams notes that the only mammals with exclusive homosexual behavi

Leaning on friends to raise kids doesn’t really work. They’ll help out in an emergency, but they won’t babysit two days a week for free. The real work is done by blood relatives, aunts, uncles and grandparents or paid help. Mutual babysitti

The CV looks good, only change is to move the skills section to the top. Your CV will pass through several non-technical ppl before getting to a technical person. They are all scanning for keywords like JavaScript. Make it super clear that

How do I bias a coin flip? Based on the paper it looks like 55% chance that it will land on the same side it started is possible. This was the most extreme subject. The bias is caused by procession so I want my flip to process as much as po

#4 is so critical. How do you plan to get users without marketing?
