    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 num…

    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, …

    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…
