I wonder if one way to help this bias is to have interviews be an exercise in teamwork rather than a lopsided relationship as it is now. What I would suggest is that when the interviewer and candidate…

> The one way I can think it would get more expensive is that the pool of drivers with insurance would get smaller. That would naturally drive the rates and such up. Why would it increase the rates…
comment
There are new rules that are not particularly advantageous for people making good money in CA due to the fact that CA has a fairly high state income tax rate and the new limits for the bucket of deduc…

I'm not sure what this has to do with abstractions. What I call abstraction is a cognitive pattern that allows me to model a specific entity with a semantic that foregoes any implementation speci…

I wonder if another dimension got negatively affected, such as theft (porch pirates or the like).

Yes you're right. Bizarre it came out that way as I went to visit the site before copy/pasting it here...
Thanks for correcting it

Every time I've used Airbnb, the review process would prevent one party from seeing the other party's review until either the review period ended OR all parties would have posted a review. I…

Do you have kids? There's something really nice about being able to cook in an AirBnB, after the kids have taken their showers and are in their PJs, and all sit around the table as a family, and …

I live in San Jose, CA. The feed that comes to my house is underground. In my backyard, along the fence, are electric wires up in the air to feed my neighbors. So it's a mix...

I found omissions to be particularly interesting too. For example, I once declined to take a shot after the doctor explicitly told me that it would most likely not yield any benefit, given the respons…

They could: - adjust the revenue share percentage to match the perceived value (convenience/UX mostly, but there are others such as marketing, chargeback protection, etc...) - play hard ball by r…

Looking at the laminated binder is not a nominal case, thankfully. Think of it as a cache miss. Most checkout clerks have memorized the codes and don't refer to the binder anymore. Perhaps you sa…

They're different things. Semantic is the UI framework that you can use from React (in fact, there is a react-semantic-ui npm) or other. React will deal with lifecycle of objects on the screen …

Moving parts are a big downside.

Have you looked into Orbiter 2016? http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk - I recently learned about it and wanted to try it after playing with KSP, but it seems it's Windows only.…

Do you know why you didn't get the job?

Yes, they do.

What do you find interesting about it? What am I missing?

> On the MacBook Pro front I've had the sticking keys issue on the left command, C, B, G and 3 keys - so took it in finally after being tortured by this for months - 1 week later and I called …
comment
I'm a bit surprised about this didactic method: being close to stalling on take-off doesn't seem to be a very safe way to teach a lesson. I used to fly and during my license test we did get …

Why do you need the downloader's email address? Perhaps I don't understand your goal: are you trying to collect email addresses to build a marketing list, or are you trying to give stuff awa…

This is what I have at home: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009Z19E0C It's not perfect, but it's reasonable. No cloud, and no traditional key option/alter…

There is the core install and then packages that you can add just as easily as apt-get.

Where did you see it has a max altitude of 60 feet? The article just mentions that in a recent flight it flew up to 60 feet. It doesn't mean it's the max. It also flew at around 30 mph, whil…

I know first hand that my car will not prevent a crash if I press on the gas pedal near an obstacle (that's how I hit my garage wall). The GP was asking about a scenario of stop and go traffic (i…
comment
The pitch of the blades is fixed (if I believe the photos from their website), so the variations in lift is simply controlled by the variation in speed of the given rotor. This is just like any hobby …
