Why is everyone that disagrees with you being flagged? We don't accept dissent or discussion here?

so signals. If you're talented enough you don't need signals, you just provide value. So for many people, acquiring signals is a complete waste of time and money.

I've not only always shared an apartment since college, I've shared rooms. Millennial, two STEM degrees, live in a 2nd-tier city, and likely a decade more before I can afford a dow…

I mean, is this surprising? Despite the original purpose of college, today the majority of people only go to college because they want a decent job. If your best shot of getting a …

I managed to get about 70% of my entire undergrad (tuition, books, and living expenses) covered by academic scholarships. Even with working every summer, every Christmas break, and…

you can't be compassionate if your compassion only extends to the point that it starts to have any negative effect on your life. Then you're just a dick that wants to pretend you a…

Most medical operations have an army of people supporting physicians. I used to work at a medical lab and there were transcriptionists, billing dept, a dept. for quality assurance …

Companies don't want to deal with being debt collectors is what this comes down to. My last job paid for a good portion of my masters, every time I was reimbursed for tutition ther…

A lot of physicians either push to restrict the supply of docs or look at this "issue" and do nothing about it. They do not want their wages to decrease by opening up the market (h…

If docs didn't slot 15 minutes per patient, then they would need to charge each patient much, much more or make much, much less. There is no other way around that.

Any insight for someone that already works as a bioinformatics scientist that wants to move into deep learning? I've got the programming, math, some stats, and am currently involve…

No, doctors do not have "too much information to consume" especially in relation to new drugs on the market. In the highly specialized field of medicine, you do not need to know ab…

I'm on the west coast, not San Francisco, but average rent for a 1BR here is $1700. I make less than half of 150k. It's whatever, I'm working to move industries. I just look at the…

The two times I've made major moves in my life I thought the new water tasted awful. In both cases I acclimated and the water was tasteless within a month or two.

Jesus Christ, I need to get out of life sciences. What a fucking mistake that was.

How about a movement that says, "If you can't earn a decent wage working 40 hours a week, sit under a bridge until you die for your country." Reducing the labor pool and showing th…

This guy cannot honestly be as dumb as he presented himself in this article. I guess if he thinks people will buy his explanation he very well might be.

I think we've been moving that way for a long time. However, I can think of some useful AR applications that could be useful for surgery.

It shouldn't matter if his reasons are he wants to sit at home, get high, and eat doritos. Businesses aren't families, employees shouldn't be discriminated against because another …
