Counter argument: Every crypto coin is, more or less, the same. Sure there's some underlying difference in how they work (proof of stake vs proof of work) but they don't do anything wildly different. AI companies, on the other han

I think you might be surprised at the distribution in wealth even within schools. Only an anecdote but I went to a public high school in somewhat of an inner city, and there was a stark contrast in financial well being across my classmates

I can think of one: If they can improve AI such that it doesn't cite fictional case study, poor people might get actual/better representation in court. The majority of court cases aren't particularly novel or unique (driving

I think the question is what are the tangible benefits people would actually pay for? Social media companies have the incentive to figure out how to make more money from their product. I think the fact that none of them have really proposed

I think it depends on use cases and advancements in our understanding of time's effect on the DNA captured. I.e. I could imagine that in the not too distant future, we know that DNA in air (exposed to sunlight) degrades at a certain pe

It's your job in interviews to accurately describe your abilities and talents. It's the company's job to determine if that's the right fit for them. If they sent you an offer, I'd just assume I don't have a cle

You're completely missing the point of the person's comment... The top comment is asking why girl's perform better, and yet and under-represented in top tier jobs. The comment you replied to responds that they think it's

Two things that I'd need explained to trust this take: "Often, the data are in the hands of Democrat politicians and bureaucrats who refuse to make it available." 1) The Georgia SOS in charge of elections is a Republican, so

Depends on the country. In the US (as I understand it) a key component to being charge with a monopoly is you have to show that consumers/users are negatively impacted. Philosophically I don't know whether or not I agree that&#x27

Admittedly I haven't read tons of scientific research on this topic, but whenever the topic of diet/exercise comes up, I often find the way the question is researched to be lacking. The article mentioned the participants could exe

What do you mean by this? What unrelated causes are people dying from that aren't exacerbated by COVID? I've heard this argument before but it's never made sense to me. If you have AIDS, it's not the AIDS that kills you,

Option B sounds far more likely to stick around the company for a long period of time, option A sounds more like the type to leave after 1-2 years for something more "attractive".

But then there's nothing stopping American workers from moving to cheaper COL places and still competing for these jobs. And with reduction in salary costs, the product becomes cheaper as well, meaning more people have access to it and

I will gladly take some amount of a pay cut to move out of the Bay Area, but obviously it's very dependent on how much that is. 15% less to live in Lake Tahoe? Yea, I'd probably do that. 50% to live in Seattle? Obviously not.

If people can work remote and don't have to commute, that's quite a bit of time saved that could be used getting involved in your local community. I couldn't disagree more that this would lead to a worse loneliness outcome an

This is my experience as well, atleast among younger employees. Presumably the older employees that have kids don't have as much time for hobbies/passions like that.

Because it's hard to drive change if there isn't a "need". Going into the office is the status quo, and there wasn't any real pressing drive to change/innovate there. Now that companies have been forced to go r

I've read a few of these work from home related articles here on HN and I have to say, I'm super surprised by how many people are both vehemently against the idea of remote and generally pessimistic for what it would mean for soci

That is patently untrue. I live in Silicon Valley, a few miles from one of the big tech giants. I live in a 4 bedroom house (with three roommates) and our collective rent is $4200 a month. Rent is expensive, but $5,000 for a one bedroom is
