You didn't do anything wrong. In fact, you should have asked the recruiter to speak to a supervisor with deep knowledge in Unix, where he could confirm your knowledge and get back to you and you would've gotten the job.

Insightful article, but a bit hard to distill the distinct points. From my own experience at an Uber for X, there is one overarching theme that dictates the whole dynamic that I think isn't addressed. The article makes the following po

The thing is, NK has one of the largest military in the world and can fire 200,000 or so rounds of mortars, tanks, rockets whatever to Seoul within 5 mins. A missile system can maybe defend 10,000 during that time? Just a back of the envelo

Interesting, how can space x invent several new rockets for a few billion while a jet takes 10x more?

No. As an a example, I'm assuming that hot roofs absorb 70% of the incoming energy and reflect 30%, where reflectig roofs absorb 10% and reflect 90%. These numbers can be a bit different, but I'm pretty sure that hot roofs absorb

This seems really viable. Deflecting is still better than absorbing on the roof top, since roof top means 100% warmth absorption and deflection always less than 100%, probably only a fraction of that.

Many U.S. coast cities will become submerged when sea-levels rise by several feet. This is not the omly effect, particularly countries in the middle east will dry out, leading rural inhabitants to gravitate towards in excess of their capaci

Why are you saying that the universe might not exist if it were not for humans. I have a few questions for you. 1. What if humans become extinct in a few hundred years? Should the universe then not exist anymore and make more lifeforms? 2.

Survival of humanity isn't important universally. The universe doesn't care. But it's the most important thing for humans.

I don't think these points are of any relevance. Once you have stage IV autonomy, you can partner with any car manufacturer you want, you have all the leverage. However, knowledge in cars definitely helps building the technology, since

They have to focus on their competencies but they also have to completely reinvent themselves every decade or so or they will die. Once the iPhone is gone, Apple will be gone.

Yes, building a robot without being technical is an incredibly high risk, especially if you don't have anything built yet. If you want to build robots, you need to have a working prototype to show that you or your team has the technica

I just had a look and in almost all western countries hate speech is forbidden based on race, sexual orientation, gender, religion and is punishable by law EXCEPT in the united states. So what does that mean? https://en.m.wikip

What do nazi ideologies fall under? They are illegal in Germany and not protected by free speech no? Furthermore, why is hate speech protected by freedom of speech, is it so that dictators can't accuse people critisizing them of hate s

As far as I know freedom of speech does not extend to hate speech does it? Blatant fake news are also not freedom of speech, are they?

They aren't offended by it, you just sound like a tool doing it. No offense.

Why do you say, autonomous car technology will be freely available to everyone? So, if Apple or Google are the first to achieve autonomous driving stage 4 technology, they will directly open source it even though it is their one competitive

Uber does indeed need tech leadership as their entire premise is to segue the whole world to electric self driving cars. Their whole valuation is based on this premise, not that they replace taxis. This valuation has been botched by the rec

I do care about what I say and everyone who responds to what I say. That doesn't mean you have to care a huge amount, but everyone deserves some care. The way you phrased it sounded a bit try hard. "I dgaf, I'm so cool. Look

Is this a perfect rng at the current state of technology? If not, why and are there currently perfect ones. What would an rng require to be perfect?

Well, now this discussion should give the author of the memo enough data, to make a follow up memo with his arguments backed up by deep research if there is research. Mission accomplished?

Oh, then it really seems to work. When you said "crashing for 7-10 day", what does that mean. Did you have a lot of pain and fatigue unable to get out of bed for a whole week and were you completely recovered after that week again

Yes, depression as a consequence of losing everything in your life an being bedbound while no one can help you does make sense. However, this is only after CFS strikes, it is not the cause for CFS. There needs to be a clear distinction that

Hm interesting. About your post exertional malaise, how much can you do until you feel malaise for several days or weeks?

by wellboy 9y ago
Yes, doing all the things to celebrate small victories, shaving my beard etc. to get at least some dopamin during the day. Changed environent several times, and also meditation didn't do anything though.

Not really correct. CFS is a term for mitchondrial dysfunction, which causes a range of symptoms and where neither cause nor therapy is clear.

Some improvement over 5-6 years seems to be weak to make an argument about one therapy to help imho, since your body heals by itself over time, like in my case. What are your main symptoms if I may ask?
