My main problem with programming interviews is that I can’t use external references to do them, which is totally not how I work. Even if I know how to solve something off the top of my head, I generally do a search to make sure there aren’t

Because if you live in the first world, like most of these companies, you will feel the effects of climate change the least. Climate change is a bigger problem for developing nations with birth rates way too high and limited resources.

No, civilization is not becoming inhospitable to humans, this is literally the best time in history to be alive, civilization has never been more hospitable than it is today. We really do not need more humans, we are not an endangered spe

No, it isn’t. And I’ve said this before, a 45 year old has a grip on life that an early 20 something can’t even conceive of, especially if they’ve just lived a fairly easy life sailing through school and college thus far. A 45 year old has

Research in pharma is expensive, you can easily spend billions and have nothing to show for it. Where else do you think all that money comes from?

Logically maybe we shouldn’t, but humans aren’t known for doing everything logically. If you know someone is in trouble and you have the ability to rescue them it is human nature to do it, no matter the cost.

> The US public has been subsidizing pharmaceutical research for the entire world with these inflated prices and hopefully that changes soon. This is what some people refuse to acknowledge when they mock the US for having such high price

I stopped doing fasts because even though I did notice a boost to my productivity, most of it was due to not having to stop in the middle of the day to eat or waste time thinking about eating. In terms of cognitive benefits, going for a run

Indeed, as housing becomes prohibitively expensive everywhere that people want to live in the US, I doubt someone living off basic income will even be able to afford any kind of home. If however, we had government built apartment buildings

> I believe people know and should have control of how they spend a basic income. Why? If it’s not being spent on those things anyway isn’t the person just making a financial mistake?

Not really, all property is still owned by the individuals exclusively.

Have any proponents of Basic Income policies ever proposed instead of handing out money, we hand out tangible assets instead? A basic house, clothing, food, access to education and healthcare (and maybe some transportation in less walkable

It may not always pass. Sometimes you get DPDR and you’re trapped in an endless hell from which few escape. Be careful out there.

Why should we care if they go out of business? If they shutdown and bow out won’t newer, useful businesses pop up in their place? I see no reason to treat a small shop like an endangered species that must be preserved. Preserved for what? M

Trust goes both ways, if you are going to reprimand me in the future for implementing a needed feature but then go ahead and use it anyway and even take credit for it then I will gaslight you next time the same problem comes up.

by rossenberg79 7y ago
On small things like this it’s easy to just gaslight people into thinking they told you it was ok. You can just explain it was such a small detail they probably don’t remember you brought it up and they said it was ok. If they say no, just

Not scary at all. This is just life, and we must endure it. Keep in mind at the same time this is happening we also have to deal with climate change and not blowing ourselves up in all out Nuclear War. And even if we avoid all that you coul

The worst part is that while articles about a disease like this are a mere annoyance to us, for people with loved ones with the disease or suffering from the disease itself it becomes a cruel joke. These are people who scour the internet lo

There’s lots of reasons to hate WeWork, but not giving a tour isn’t one of them. If they did that for you and a few others then word would get around that you don’t really need appointments for tours and that would cause other problems. Not

There’s a good reason why these sort of products are marketed as meatless and not vegetarian, and it’s not because they still contain some animal products. When a true vegetarian is hungry, the first thing that comes to their minds are plan
