Right, if it’s a case interview, then higher accuracy ought to prompt the interviewee to ask: (1) Do the 200 cuts typically occur in clusters? (2) What’s the typical density, eg are they usually collocated? (as an alternative to the above)

“Knowing that 200 undersea cables break every year globally, estimate the probability that 3 cables break in the baltic sea on the same day.” I’m stealing this to use for grad-student mock-interviews—thank you!

The 3 min documentary listed in wiki is excellent…1500 mph and 57k ft capable is mind-blowing in and of itself—not to mention flying sans pilot! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noriLGVL7Qo

They did, the translator communicates to the prisoners in English, and they pass along in Japanese to the guards. The article says they asked the translator.

Deepest condolences on your loss, and thank you for your candor—I can only speak for myself, but I’m definitely turning up my driving conservatism after reading your post.

The rc gliders are loaded chock-full with weight (tungsten or lead), we literally seek cover behind cars and boulders, and the bravest among us holds the radar speed gun—-if you want to see something outside of this world, or spark your kid

1) Clear your evening. 2) Do not Google, but rather jump straight to your favorite media platform, and locate a 2012 film named: “searching for sugar man.” 3) Watch alone because it’s impossible to watch without crying tears of joy

Who was calling customer service to begin with? I’m not a user, but I suspect there’s more margin with customers who are large enough to have a firm or internal team handle Shopify for them, and that’s not the type of person (one would hope

It’s usually a limited number of passes, so when customer k+1 requests access, customer 1 gets dropped. I don’t tell anyone about my library’s resources—they’re great, and so are the ones 2 counties up ;)

The rate at which your project becomes NPV positive. If it takes $100 one year to return $110, then the irr is 10%, because a 10% interest rate would cause you to owe $10 at the end of the first year, which is exactly equal to cash generate

Right. IRR has a number of problems, though many stem from the fact that it reports a percentage. Npv/economic value added/etc. will yield one level per investment. And while you can sum these values for an aggregate, it’s not hel

I think you mean Nature is capturing some of the rents bestowed upon authors for publishing in Nature. Honestly, I wish more journals mandated open for a fee—I want my work open, but the choice makes it easy for universities to decline to p

Whoa! Best advice I ever received: accept everything. Here’s why: (1) Editors will not send you garbage, but they will try at first (2) You, in turn, torture yourself to find a path for the worst papers in your field (see “garbage” above)

You are basing your argument on population based statistics. Healthcare workers are an important, large, and uniquely at risk sub-population. Should you rx chemo therapy this afternoon? Probably not… unless you have a known tumor. Radiating
