That's a very tough question to answer because the two topics aren't as rigorously researched. Quick google searches seem to say around 0.5% of the population for intersex and 0.3% of the population for transgender. But again, those figures are probably problematic and shouldn't be taken as fact.

Its really hard to try to recall specific episodes, but these are the ones that came to mind and that I could track down the info for ️

Definitely not too old. We recently just hired an engineer who had a degree in Biology, got accepted into medical school, realized he loved tech way more, and then went back to school for engineering. If anything, this was a plus for us, because we knew that this was something he was passionate about. I also personally respect people who are willing to take the scarier path because they want to do something they love. Also worth noting that his engineering degree was only 2 years rather than four, since he already had GEs covered and all of that. So your 5 year estimation might be shorter than you think

As ocdtrekkie mentions, the CommaAI is an option that offers a little hand holding in the sense that instructions are available. I actually went through the process of building one and hooking it up to my car and deciphering my cars CAN bus messages. It's pretty interesting and would definitely recommend it.

As for making your own, it depends on how good you want it to be. For example, the CommaAI is simple to do even from scratch but not super cutting edge. On the other hand theres companys out there using additional radars and Lidar which increases the cost and complexity. But in theory you'd just need to mount a machine in the trunk of your car, hook it up to your cars computer (have a car capable of being controlled solely via computer), hook up any additional sensors. Then write the software that can fuse all of the incoming data and use it to send messages to the car.

So all of the questions had some kind of context/primer that I'd talk about before asking them, but the actual questions were:

Priority Setting - Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the work you've been given? How do you manage the work so that it gets done on time?

Self Development - How do go about seeking feedback from those around you to facilitate your personal growth? What is something that you've learned about yourself recently that you found helpful?

Compassion - Tell me about a time where you worked with someone who was struggling, for whatever reason. What were some of the challenges? How did you go about helping them deal with their struggle?

So we just went through the process of interviewing candidates for summer internships. Our interview process is far less technical than most and is almost all about determining how the candidate will fit into the team.

I believe it's called Behavior Based Interviews. But basically the interviewing team looks at a list of qualities and picks a few (~3 per person) that they think are valuable for someone joining the team. For example, I chose to look for: Priority Setting, Compassion, and Self Development. Once we have some qualities chosen, we develop questions that are specifically meant to test for those qualities.

Overall I really enjoy this kind of interview process. I feel like these qualities are more important than technical ability, so it's nice to put more emphasis on them during the interview process (We still do assess technical ability of course). And for us, it results in new team members that I'm excited to work with!

replays are available to people who purchased tickets, I dont think they were posted publicly anywhere. But you should keep your eye on them to see if they have another conference. It is suuuper cheap and online so its convenient (maybe not the highest quality talks, but still good).

What sort of things do you put in them? I don't know about you, but I'm not exactly running experiments. Do you have a format that differs from purpose, procedure, results?

From a developers perspective, if I'm not actively looking for a job I almost never want to talk to companies that are trying to recruit. The one time where I actually went out of my way to talk to a company was when they held their own event. They rented a space with an open bar and brought their engineers with them. You could just go hang out and talk with the engineers and see what kind of stuff they worked on what not and it was a great way for us to vet the company and decide whether or not we could see ourselves on the team.

I opt for dedicated workout sessions. I got into bodybuilding style workouts a few months ago (while being ~50lbs over weight) and started eating sensibly and it's done wonders for me. I currently workout 6 days a week: 2 days purely weights, 3 days are weights+cardio after, and 1 day of pure cardio.

It depends on the quality of the course and how close it aligns with my goals.

Ex: Udacity's SDC Nanodegree amounts to $2400, but was worth every penny for me. On the other hand, there are numerous machine learning courses on Udemy, and most of them I wouldn't pay for at all (even at $5-$10).

In the latter case, most of the content is either non valuable (its stuff that's repeated all over the internet) or non practical (can talk a lot about theory or math but if I don't actually build anything it doesn't help me).
