Here's a slightly more rigorous version of the proof for anyone interested: 1. Suppose the list of primes is finite, and that they are P_1, P_2, P_3 .., P_n 2. Consider the new number P_1 * P_2 * P_3 * .. * P_n + 1. None of the P_is di

The point is just that if a company wants to participate in a labor market, it has to pay at the going rate in that market. For various reasons, a company might choose to stay in a pricy market. For example, it might be easier to hire for s

I think a lot of people don't understand how pay works. The price of a good is determined not by how important it is to you, but by its marginal utility i.e. how difficult it would be to get more if you need it. Water, for example, is

I think everyone is bad at hiring because hiring is hard. The problem is that companies are also bad at letting low performers go because we're human beings and public perception, conflict avoidance and empathy for co-workers influence

People don't want to join companies that have recently had a layoff because they're generally interpreted as a sign that the company isn't doing well financially, outside of companies that advertise firing low performers as

Credit karma lets you file both federal and state for free . CreditKarma's filing service is pretty new, so there are lots of edge cases they don't handle well or at all (for example the UI to enter stock trades is awful). I put

The slavery rhetoric is very commonly used to dehumanize immigrants. This makes it morally easier to justify treating then like an outgroup. Many, many people cannot afford to lose their jobs because they live paycheck to paycheck. Funny ho

Both are viable strategies. You diversify when you spend time working for startups across different sectors in the hope that some might succeed in their own area. You hedge when you work for several competitors in the same area in the hope

Hrm, the parallel feels really forced to me. You can invest money in multiple startups at the same time, to hedge your bets. You can't do that with your time if you plan on working full-time.

This. The Republican perspective is that these are not actually different groups of people, but the same people at different points in their lives. The people making salary are younger. They save, then go on to live off their investments wh

Tax on consumption hurts poor people. The 1$ sales tax on soap worth X$ hurts me much less than someone making minimum wage.

I think a big reason he's able to stay that way is that his real identity is not a public figure. The only thing ordinary people in the community know about him is his name, so there's nothing to talk about.

This is already not true for modern iPhones. I think the time to stop accepting this has come. We should demand better from commodity devices.

Facebook does pentests all the time, but they don't find everything. This is why you should also run a bug bounty program.

Parent's argument is that it mitigates phishing - i.e your normal workflow is you go to a site and your credentials are automatically filled in, so you'd be suspicious if that doesn't happen. In my experience, the autofill br

They don't play tiebreakers in the fifth set. All other sets work normally. The answer is correct because it's only talking about the first three sets.

Zuckerberg was 19 when he made the dumb fucks comment. [2004] I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with your point, just saying that this incident took place earlier than you think it did.

Using 1Password to store your 2fA seed makes it single factor because your password and second factor are stored in the same place. This is not a good idea. Yubikeys in U2F mode are better than any OTP because they protect you against phish
