   I do not agree with sending out less applications improving your odds. The author said that she sent out 10 applications over several months. I was in a different position than the author being a cs undergrad student, but i was sending ou

    Seems like agile development for the individual. My only concern is that it will only work as well as it does for our company. To be fair, i do not think my company uses agile correctly (more rules than guidelines)

    I am inclined to think the solution is self control rather than a dumb phone. I dont want to problem solve my way out of the principles that lead me down the path of problem solving.

    Count min sketch guarentees that elements that occur more than a certain number of times (determined by your parameters) will be returned,sampling makes no such promise to a 100% degree of certainty.
