It's a very practicable metric that enables you to show that you're worth getting a top job in interviews. It's very merit based even if that merit is less being a good SWE and more being good at problem solving + self discipline.

If you have savings, it's easier to imagine. Also, it's probably not career-ending to take a few year break but I don't know much about this anecdotally.

Haven't used it but check out LALAL AI

Do you think that the distortions effects are negative or positive overall now? And in the future? I'd argue they are positive now and in the future, so it sounds like this is where your disagreement is coming from (since you said it as if it's overwhelmingly negative now and into the future).

I still don't understand the belief that Epstein must not have killed himself. I can understand feeling like he might have been killed but I don't know what gives people the conviction that he must have been.

I feel similarly about this case. Is it really that bizarre to think that a person who decides to work for the CIA and then decides to leak information would also have CSAM?

'Furman said Schulte continued his crimes from behind bars by trying to leak more classified materials and by creating a hidden file on his computer that contained 2,400 images of child sexual abuse that he continued to view from jail."

I wonder how he had so much access to technology and his own files while behind bars? I'm not inclined to believe this is false and even if the CSAM is part of a CIA prank (as someone else suggested here), this part of the case would still be quite illegal.

I feel it would be more useful to actually focus on data in a smaller, more homogenous group like people of similar incomes in a single country. The role that meat plays in the lives of people around the world is too varied (for example, wealthy upper-caste Hindus make up most vegetarian Indians).

I've heard this many times before, but I'm curious if people in South America actually refer to North + South as "America"?

TIL it's paternalistic to give people in 3rd world countries free things that they like.

Nice! I am also hoping to leave tutorial hell so this was the perfect post for me. Focusing on the last part: how much experience did you have with JS before designing the site? That sounds like the worst part to me but I really half-assed all my experience in JS so I can do better in the future. Are you aiming to be an MLE?

Your analogy isn't applicable here. What the OP was trying to get at is that even an individual who doesn't know anything about markets, HFT, liquidity, etc can still benefit from high liquidity from HFT (since it allows for transactions to occur sooner and quicker). In the AI example, the implication is that the final product isn't benefiting consumers.
