My commute often leaves me feeling exhausted & annoyed (2 hours each way, half on the train) The main positive thing that came from this commute was reading for pleasure (somthing I was not doing beforehand) I don't try to max prod

At many DS jobs you will be working closely with developers Where I work we prefer DS canidates that have some SE background and could comfortably deploy a model (even if it's just to heroku) We pass on a lot of really smart DS applica

The number of users reporting regular use doesn't necessarily mean more people are using I feel much more comfortable talking about useage now that it's legal & more socially accepted, but legality did not influence the freque

Slightly off topic, but you can order glasses (frames and lenses) for under $10 on zennioptical.com Ive ordered my last 3 pairs there, and will never pay $200 for glasses again

I'm shocked that cigs are still legal. Everyone i know got hooked when under age & many of them have tried to quit before reaching legal age. Cigs are a product for kids

It's much harder to choke in your sleep if you're on your side (especially important if you've been drinking)

Not surprising that people who pick up on bullshit would be less likely to donate to a "non proffit" where many execs make over 1m a year https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/executive-salaries-chariti...

Glassdoor is a decent website to guage the type of questions you'll get during an interview for a specific position. Ive had interviews that re use the exact same questions (fortune 100 companies)

So first: most jobs require you to do a lot of stuff that you may not agree with or feel is useful. I don't want to work with the person who is going to only do what they want when they want. At the end of the day the work needs to g

The reality is that you should be learning how to prove, not memorizing proofs. The student who was most prepared would be able to derive proofs (by the process that was taught, like knowing to apply a theorom, or being comforatable with in

all of those other things you listed are already in place and cost people time & dignity (which enough money can offset the cost of) It needs to sting for everyone, not just the poor. Do you reject higher tax brackets for the wealthy un

Perhaps that person does have better problem skills, but who knows if someone also derived it faster within the time frame Perhaps that person also makes a habit of not preparing & just winging it (Which is fine until it's not)

Grades are relative though. I'm not saying the person that came to the proof with 30 mins extra is not smart, but they were not able to meet the same expectation as the other students. If everyone gets a 50, the grades will scale, and

I have gotten exactly 1 speeding ticket in my life. It was for $200 in highschool and it stung. If i got that same speeding ticket now, it would not sting nearly as much, and i would probably be over it by the time i went to work the next m

Snapchat used to work lag free on my device. Now it lags so much that it takes over a minute to launch the app, take & send 1 pic. Might not be the app's fault, but that's the reason i don't use it much

A $50 ticket is not going to deter bill gates from speeding. The goal of a speeding ticket is not to collect $50, it is to save lives by detering people from speeding..

I really like CS don't get me wrong, but I would not have majored in it if I could get the same ROI on somthing I enjoyed more.

I'm not disputing the stats you linked, and i agree prison is no where close to a good solution. My follow up comment was regarding: "I'm confident she did drugs in prison" where you disputed this single data point. I

She has been to rehab, and she was able to get drugs & pregnant while there. I think you are underestimating the power of a heroin addiction and overestimating the effectiveness of rehab in the US, especially for unwilling participants
