I don't know - if you're at all in a profession that requires problem solving, it can be quite jarring to work with a doctor. For any given complaint, most will just tell you that your test results are in the normal range (don

For sure - I've always wondered what the theoretical maximum of a road system is vs it's practical maximum. That is, how many cars can a system accommodate where the cars drive perfectly, vs how many cars driven by humans a highwa

LA's traffic problem is the sheer volume of traffic. If you introduce another pipe, that pipe will immediately get saturated. LA has a TON of infrastructure, tons of long, expansive 6 lane highways, HOV lanes, Express lanes, tons of wi

Why don't you name the company? Unless there is personally identifying information about you somewhere in your comment history, your comment would be so much more helpful with useful examples, especially for people that are familiar wi

I'll throw in an alternative perspective: I don't care so much about expertise, but about just raw intelligence. Talk to a really smart person about your engineering problem, and even if they are not an engineer they will give you

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and explain. Usually, what Taxi's can do that uber can't is pick up riders who are hailing a cab. That means if I'm walking down the street and see a cab, I can waive it down and it

No need to be condescending - you have no idea who, for whom, or where I hire. I was simply asking a question. But I can see how someone who says they work at Facebook in their profile thinks, thinks they are hot shit.

Question: as an employer what exactly am I supposed to do if when I put a req out for an engineer, >>>>50% of applicants are asian? Is the burden really on me to dig through the remaining applicants for good ones? These laws rea

Don't let r/fitness see this or you will get absolutely destroyed. I agree with you - but saying a calorie is a calorie makes people feel like they are gifted physicists preaching to people that live in the dark ages. Nutrition&#x

When I joined zenefits they offered me 500 shares before raising the 500MM round. Then after the 500MM round they were 5000 shares. When I was negotiating my offer, I didn't budge on getting a market rate salary and in the end, I got i

One thing you may be interested is numerical analysis. You can take this course as part of your major (it's usually required, but sometimes it's an elective). This will guide you through some basic programming and teach you big O

There is so much more to taxes too then just income tax. Sales tax, vehicle tax, fuel tax, etc. Most if not all of these are unavoidable. Sales tax alone adds nearly 10% anywhere you shop. I'm actually agreeing with you here: in some w

I agree that apple is mean, but disagree they should be forced to open up their platform. Let's not forgot that apple has tiny market share compared to google, they are only going after them because of their wealth. 2nd, let's not

Thanks for your comment. This is the kind of thoughtful comment I come here for - it's given me some ideas to go research on my own.

There was a post here with someone recommending LSD, just curious what happened to it. Did the mods delete it or did the user?

While I would agree with you a company is the sum of its people and right now the personnel at Apple has changed just way too much. I'm not as hopeful - Apple will continue to be a behemoth, but I'm afraid the magic is gone. It ma

Yet another money grab by the government, as if the nearly 60% tax rate isn't enough (federal, state, sales, fuel, DMV, etc). They did this the classical way too, introduce it at ridiculously low prices <$1 just to get the system in

Even though I'm doing all the right things like maxing out 401k etc., I can't help but feel that I will regret it later. It feels like everyone grew up hearing the same thing (people are poor planners, people go broke in retiremen
