There’s a long history of postmaster corruption

It’s only a loss if you’ve been invested for a short time. The market is up a ridiculous amount. It would need to drop close to 40% to be back around 2014 levels. You could still sell shares from 2010 that would be sold at a profit, if you’ve been investing for a decade

Alternate title “Astrophysicist Consultant makes grandiose comment about metallurgy”

What is an approachable book on Ramsey's theory for non-mathematicians ?

(Graham's number applies to Ramsey's theory.)

I’ve heard the phrase “history is stranger than fiction” before .. and you discovered that!

The fake’s username shows up in green is a sufficient flag. What more do you want? I like the unverified functionality

Wow, thanks for sharing this. I’m going to close my Instacart account now. I haven’t used it in a while but I don’t want my data sitting on a platform that doesn’t care about security

It’s not only medical data that’s of concern, but also nation states Could try to use the data to identify embedded foreign agents/spies implanted in their country. Those are the ones without diplomatic cover

I'm pretty sure in a skeptical sense they'll be trying to pay associate professors less for the same reason. and charging students more.

From what I’ve seen, this has already been happening over the past decade already. I agree they’ll continue doing it for “new reasons”

Out of curiousity, how long is the commute and how much less would you the cost of living is? 25%?

Thank you. My mistake, not sure how I missed that word!

The Fed's stated goal is to create jobs, not destroy them.

That’s not true. Here’s the truth: https://www.federalreserve.gov/aboutthefed.htm

This shouldn't be surprising to people. The NBA has a bigger fanbase in China than in the USA.

I disagree. The size of the fanbase is surprising, and so is the implication of this behaviour

Yes, they were advertising for "AOL Keywords" to simplify discovery of content, along with other value-add services like "homework help" Perhaps "AOL Keywords" were the precursor to hashtags.

To facilitate quick note taking I wrote a FUSE driver for it

I didn't understand this part. Why can't you just write the file and then either manually/automatically trigger an import of the text into the SQLiteDB?

And the absence of serious, critical thought. Has trulia never heard of correlation vs causation?

They probably don’t teach that in data science boot camps

I love your comments

I understand what you meant, and would love to read that thread too! However, i don’t think it will come And I Also don’t think holding in that pain/disgust/anger is healthy.

This is cool! Has anyone here taken a computer science course in another language?

I have wondered if non-English-speaking universities have to teach their CS courses in 25-50% English, just due to the syntax of the programming languages generally being in English

the character chose alternative therapies before finally trying conventional medicine, but it was too late & she lost her life.

Isn't this the same story as Steve Jobs? I recall reading that on this forum

yet we still see the same awful JS-heavy applications.

Isn't Google's AMP just a bunch of Javascript too? So even their "fix" is just perpetuating the issue

That makes sense. What is the cost difference between those plans? (I’m not a Cloudflare user, just curious)

Maybe they want to retain the execs to fix the mess?

Then make this a part of their executive employment contract.

Well we had a chance to make such activity illegal, but we didn't. Maybe we can do it now, to prepare for the next downturn?

most of the other clown shops out there

Who, in your experience? Because the smaller shops tend to have brighter people, often with the founder involved (or one-step removed), in my experience

I have fallen into some incredible quotation-source searching a few times, spending hours looking through old scans of documents that only exist in archives. But when I think I find the original author, I'm astounded how some people can prove that even those are a paraphrase of a more ancient example. And then you have sites like https://quoteinvestigator.com/

What are some of the tricks in quotation investigation?

When else would they ask? The exit interview is when you are being informed of the decision.

At a previous employer, a manager would need to formally put you on a performance improvement plan to give you a chance to improve, to discuss about what's going on (maybe you need a leave of absence for family; or maybe training). HR should be surprised that the exit interview is the first time they're talking to the person.

By law, the power network is listed online to combat climate change and pollution.

Which law is that?

“This case was not about how much tax we pay, but where we are required to pay it," Apple said in a statement. "We're proud to be the largest taxpayer in the world as we know the important role tax payments play in society."

That’s a really beautiful example of spinning the story of what’s going on.
