If you got a PhD from Hamburger University, you'll have even more 'Hard' skills!

1. Understanding customer relationships
2. Creativity on the job: figuring out how to deal with edge cases for positive outcomes that were not in the corporate training manuals.
3. Understanding highly optimized and dynamic ordering systems, a workflow systems engineering marvel for delivering hot food fast.
4. Create financial wealth above and beyond most PhD students.
> Watching video twice at normal speed can benefit learning better than once at 0.5x speed
You need reasonable baselines, otherwise this just says: "going through a material twice improves learning outcomes".

Background:
I'm someone who has traveled fairly regularly (> 30 countries), with some trips comprised of solo backpacking across Europe or South-East Asia. I also think I'm really good at planning, which is largely about constraint optimizing and solving some version of TSP (traveling salesman).
The idea:
You're in a city. You tell the app all the places you want to check out. The app returns an itinerary, calculating TSP starting from your lodging, taking into account expected travel time, the times the places are open, lunch / dinner, etc.
I would personally find this really useful because it would replace hours that I spend optimizing my travels.
A better strategy towards the shift to organic (regardless of how you feel about the move itself) would have been to impose an ever increasing tax to understand the long-term impacts of moving away from something their economy heavily relied on.
Here's an older hacker news thread about Brazil rejecting the Russian Vaccine.[0] It's so depressingly unsurprising in this post-truth era.
I don't understand this. Harvard Medical School has the same policy (or rather, none of the lectures are recorded).
Why are schools asking students to choose between the health of their peers vs their grades and their potential futures? Even responsible people can get exposed to COVID, and this would be punishing students that decide to not endanger their peers.
This is why unlimited sick days make sense in big tech companies: if you're sick, please don't spread it to everyone else in the office.
SWE is one of the most difficult professions at the highest levels. If it's so simple, then the ready supply of SWE should depress wages but that is clearly not happening.
In the book, they were scared of humanity's technological growth rate. They were observing our technological advances and noticed that it was significantly faster than theirs. While they were, at the time, technologically superior, they were afraid that after the 250+ years it would take for them to get to Earth, humanity would have become technologically superior; too strong for them to overtake.
You know that ML is a really important part of a lot of companies that aren't "Science", right?
Like Google search result rankings rely on ML.
Humans have evolved for a very long time as hunter and gatherers, and we have evolved to eat diet consistent with how we evolved, namely low carbohydrate diets. The reason why grain prevailed was because grain could support more humans per acre of land. Humans did not choose grain for long term health benefits, but rather for efficiency reasons.
It seems that many health problems stem from high carbohydrate diets. Are there reasons why we shouldn't switch to a low carbohydrate diet?

* The critics are talking about Software Engineering (~1/3rd of the company?), whereas the source you cited is about all of Google. I wouldn't be surprised if the White/Asian/Male splits are far worse when you only look at software engineers.
* Google has many international offices (e.g. there's > 1000 employees in Google Japan).
Here are some non-lying based explanations for the discrepancy:
1. A lot of the surveyed men are non-heterosexual, so there are a lot more edges between men. 2. The survey was not a true random sample, the chaste men and promiscuous women were excluded in the study.

In the process of recording, it will show you the bird's spectrograms, which is really cool!
I think calling this a threat is hyperbolic and intended as clickbait (it's working). All this is doing is reminding people that IG/FB is free and that this helps their revenue.

The last one, "I liked a feature of her" is not misogynistic absent of context. The context here is really important. It's like saying "I like your haircut". Did I pass up promotion for another person in a non-modeling job because they had a shitty haircut?
