Wow...I don't know how much more stereotypical sexist male you could get in one email..."girls", "pink lanyard", gender binaries... The way to attract more women, stike, people to your conference is not through toke

That is a very long article based on flawed argument. Given no other information, assuming someone gave you 2 envelopes and told you one has $40 vs $20, common sense dictates choose 1 randomly and walk away - with no other information it is

I really have no clue what your point is here... The first link concerns a small group protesting against increased automation...this has happened in practically every place that has had manufacturing... The second concerns road safety acts

It is hard to make any judgement or give advice without some data...can you upload your resume to share? Maybe there is something that stands out?

Actually you started off by saying you can't teach "talent", now you are saying you can teach it but it may be hard... Do you honestly think your genetics is playing against you in your study of mathematics? Which bits are yo

Swimming is not innate...some people do pick it up easily, others take a couple of times, but I have never heard of anybody who is "unable to learn how to swim" and once they learn they can practice and get very good at it....ther

Are you serious?! The first couple of drawings are terrible, primary school level drawings - the perspective, shading etc. are all completely off. If you honestly believe you couldn't pull something like that off given 30 minutes of de

Concrete Mathematics should not be too hard to understand for someone who understands basic algebra. Most of the topics it covers use nothing more than arithmetic and simple logic. That said it is not a good general mathematics book (it is

That is interesting, from a reread, I would say the "youngness" is a product of the length and over-descriptiveness. ""Magic" is my term for "I don't know how it works because I haven't taken the time

Honestly this does not read well. You have some decent points (not unique points to any professional software engineer but good points) - there are several grammatical errors "to(sic) much magic" and you have not provided any exam

I would have thought this would be common sense by now - don't submit to a polygraph ever - it cannot help you, only hurt you. And don't submit to any kind of interrogation without a talking to a lawyer first. Relevant video: htt
