I agree your point. larger cars have great advantage in a crash due to crumple zones. And even though some compact cars has great crash test result, it doesn't mean they're safe enough to survive a highway crash since most if not

FYI, the IIHS small overlap frontal test, which I personally consider as the "hardest" test today, is done at 40mph. By that saying, a crash in the city can be worse than the test result. https://en.wikipedia.org/w

They don't have to read every book. People who actually read the books might just report/flag it. Consider why there's no porn on youtube? There must be quite amount of people tried uploading porn there.

In addition, it's the wealth of the very top level politicians in China vs median wealth of all politicians (If I understand correctly) in US. A fair comparison should be the senators and representatives.

The problem is many startups, especially those trying to "double engineer headcount within this year", encourage new hires to write good reviews during orientations when those employees barely know the working environment at the c

Well "ad fraud" is an official name for this kind of behavior. Consider in an advertiser's perspective, I pay to get someone see my ad, and I even pay more if people click on it. Now I've paid the click price but my ad i

There're more freeloaders that you can imaging. And there're lots of paying users love to be freeloader if they can get the same thing without paying. Reference the music industry and napster.

Because that's considered ad fraud. There're websites specifically doing this such as have a silent video ad playing in a hidden div and try to get paid for it. But the ad network is not stupid enough to pay for this kind of fake

To my understanding, chrome's incognito mode means everything you did within incognito will not be saved and applied to regular mode. But everything you did within regular mode will be applied to incognito. This works for localstorage

This is the answer. Lottery is so much of BS. Sort by wage guarantees that person is not kicking out any american and he/she is good enough for the company to paid him that much. But instead of having one big array of all jobs together

I agree paper wrap is better than plastic wrap, and sadly I'm seeing more and more plastic wrapped ones today. But most mcdonald in asia and africa have a straw box like this one. http://www.wesellcoffee.com/media/

Americans simply use too much paper... I seldomly see paper wrapped straws or more than one roll of toilet paper per cell in any other countries I've been to. Even mcdonald in other country don't use that much paper as we do here.

Employer can't always make assumption that ones title match ones capability right? I do agree puzzle is silly, but some sort of programming question is required. To my understanding most senior SDE still need to write lots of code, and

One thing I'd like to point out is that, display an ads usually doesn't make the situation worse. So neutral and negative are (mostly) the same for a brand because they don't convert to a sale, while positive does. For exampl

Through out this entire conversation I was listen to your problems with ads and explain the ones you might misunderstand. You just simply don't believe in anything positive. And after all this you are now taking it personally?
