YoY change in jobs is still probably not the best way to visualize overall market health. As you say, you also have to take into account the number of people of fill the jobs. To m…

It all comes down to glutamate and gaba again. It's been really interesting to see how fundamental these two molecules are as I have learned more about medical biology/neurology. T…

Agreed. The child prodigy is overvalued in popular perception. It is a subject of fascination precisely because it is uncommon. Most really great work is done by people with plenty…

Same. I've been explicitly told "Neutral Face. Don't smile." for my passport and driver's licenses in NC, FL and CA (Redwood City too).

I wonder what everyone else thinks about this claim made by the article: > The enduring strength of a state-dominated Chinese system that can pivot, change policy and redirect reso…

There do seem to be parallels to America's rise to the dominant global power. In particular, they have so much of the global manufacturing infrastructure, like the US did after WW2…

The lectures and assignments for Oregon State's CS475 (Parallel Programming) are all available online. [0] There are lectures [1] and a project [2] about SIMD. I really enjoyed the…

I'm reading elsewhere that this may not be true? https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6928529...

Seconding this. It's been like night-and-day since I started using a CPAP.

Gabe Newell just applied for NZ citizenship as well

I was surprised to learn this too! Looks like they were only married for around 8 years (1957 to 1965), so they divorced before he was really famous. Maybe that's why it's not more…

It could also be both; not because someone recognized him, but still because of who he is (non-random). Maybe he was just said some neo-nazi shit to the wrong person.

My dad (in his 50s but in great health/shape) got a flu around the same time that you did, and had similar problems. Felt flu-y for 3-4 weeks, and then for months afterward he felt…

> The Japanese companies earn very low returns on equity. They have a bunch of businesses that earn 4, 5, 6% on equity and it is very hard to earn a lot as an investor when the bus…

Many colleges are trying this now, at least near where I am in the Triangle region of North Carolina (Duke, UNC-Chapel Hill and NC State). They call them "flip(ped) classes".

I'm not sure where you live, but my experience has been the complete opposite. When I was a poor working kid nearly every other poor kid I knew in high school started working at 16…

I'm not sure I understand. SEC employees are being secretly trained to destroy it from within?

We're you referring to pallets used in warehouses/shipping? I think they're using a different definition, i.e. "a straw-filled tick or mattress", "a small, hard or temporary bed". …

Someone I know is a post-delivery (or "mother+baby" nurse) who just had a baby a few weeks ago. The most recent guidance is that one weak drink in a day is probably fine and the be…

There are tons of bacteria that are either neutral, good for you, or that you even *need". You just only hear about the ones that are bad for us, because they are comparitively rar…

I read recently that NY was the state where the highest number of people moving to Raleigh were coming from as well. The migration seems real from over here.

Three times in the past year, I've had packages marked as "Delivered at/in mailbox" that weren't actually delivered until 2-3 days later. The most recent was particularly worrying,…
