Some do, but I'd expect the majority are in the "don't want to work" category. A lot of people are under the impression that these are people that, if only given a chance, would want to get back on their feet and re-inte

That's inflation in US prices. It may not be transferrable to another country, where various things cost more/less, and rise/fall differently through the years.

I once interviewed at a very well-known computer manufacturer, with 21 people over two full days. But it was known by all that after the two days, you got an offer or you were never going to get an offer. It was fine, no problem, I enjoyed

It’s not just flavor that has been bred out. Also nutrition, and not just from tomatoes. Consumers can not visually see flavor or nutrition. They can see color, size, and uniformity of surface texture and shape. So the vegetables are bred f

Look at the numbers. SpaceX is doing it’s thing for a few billion a year. That’s chump change compared to the money being spent on, let’s say professional basketball. Not picking on basketball it’s my favorite spectator sport. But saying, i

I like this idea. I personally would much rather negotiate directly, rather than have an organization with far different motives negotiating “for” me.

The idea that a “nasal vaccine” would help stop nasal infections is so laughable. However you deliver the vaccine, it’s an antibody generator. That’s part of the adaptive immune system, not the innate system that the nasal mucus membrane is

If you watch news on PBS, you see essentially the same stories, covered in the same way, as you see on any other network. Try comparing them as an experiment, it is enlightening.

They never needed American recruits. This is a sideshow. There are many millions of non-Americans in the world to recruit from, and many non-internet ways to do it.

I guess you can name each of the hundreds of thousands that ranked higher than Linus then. Sure, in a century there are lots of people making contributions positive enough to make a similar impact. Maybe a few thousand, not hundreds of thou

The vaccine will pre-memorize for antibodies. That’s only one component of a natural immune response, which is wide ranging and more robust.

At least, for vaccinated people, they have better outcomes the first time they come into contact with the virus. After that contact, they'll also have naturally-derived immunity. So the vaccine is a way for people to acquire their natu

It still works as a random fishing expedition as well though. There were certainly lots of legal strategy messages that would be very valuable to the subjects of investigations or ongoing cases. Some of those subjects may be initially ignor

I don't think it's trivially easy to get money out of the country, so that might be part of it. Another thing is that for many people, being able to buy any real estate is attractive, even when you don't really get to "o

I guess I didn't know that was a law? It's not in the U.S. Foreigners can buy anything they want. But I don't think the distinction is meaningful, higher new build prices would drag up existing home prices.

This. China has no safe place for people to save the money that they have made, by whatever means. Anywhere you put it in there, it can go away in an instant if the government wants to take it away from you. We don't understand this in

Western real estate is the new gold. It's protected by the entrenched lawful property rights of western countries, so money made in countries without those rights are going to flow in. Think about it. If you had made a few million base

The prices are not being driven up by buyers with 5% down payments. They are being driven up by 100% cash buyers, people moving cash across national boundaries. Just look at the percentage of "all-cash" offers. That tells the whol

So your theory is that the contained, stable number of housing buyers just decided to start paying 30% more?

It does take some time for a new employee to figure out how to visibly contribute. Whereas more established ones have gained trust and confidence, so that they are considered fully engaged even when remote. I wonder if a good hybrid approac

It's more dangerous than enriching Uranium. Uranium does not self-replicate, for one thing. It's also very easy to detect and ensure it has stayed contained.

I guess the negative part is that the people developing the vaccine can be a little bit less conservative with their design, since they have no incentive to be extra careful to avoid expensive lawsuits.

Its only a bug if the software was stated to support that combination. If it was designed and documented to suppot three combinations, and you tried it on a fourth, found it not to work, that’s an enhancement request not a bug report.

The last thing I’d want is a web push notification. I don’t have a favorite browser, but if there were one which blocked pop-ups asking me to assent to notifications, it would be my new favorite.

What if it happened "naturally", as a result of workers infecting thousands of mice and killing the ones that stayed healthy, then reinfecting new mice from the remainder, over and over for many generations? Or you did the same ex

Why would time not be highly relevant to job performance? Productivity is defined as an amount of work output (whatever that is for the job in question), divided by time. So time is in fact central, and a team member who can do more in a un

“Reach commercialization” means something might be delivered in 2023. Maybe. Now that they have a new round of funding. This is interesting and hopefully will be real one day, but the headline is misleading.

Im very interested in text-based gaming. As a developer, there is so much more freedom compared to graphical games, you’re creating imagery in the mind with text, which means there is so much less friction than imagining your own take, and
