My driving instructor grew up on a farm in Portugal and claimed that he didn't brush his teeth until he was an adult. Shocked, I asked if he had many dental issues and he claimed that he had none because everything he ate came from the farm.

People don't have a choice but to game the system. If you can't solve the problem quickly enough on a whiteboard, you are rejected. You are typically not given enough time arrive the solution from a scratch. You either know the solution or you don't.

I do eagerly await the discover playlist, but for me personally the quality is inconsistent at best. One week it will be great and have 10 songs that I keep, the next it will be full of crap. I guess I have weird enough taste that Spotify has a hard time satisfying it. It's still the best I've found, and beats Pandora by a big margin. Does anyone else have similar experiences?

CFS is most likely "Candidasis". An overgrowth of candida bacteria/yeast in the gut.

This is very well known, and easily and cost effectively treatable.

Consistent overconsumption of processed sugars leads to candida overgrowth. The body addresses this naturally through inflamation. Prolonged inflamation yields depression symptoms, and a host of other things.

Google: candida

You can recover from this mostly in one night for $5 and fully in about 2 weeks for $30.

Ultimately these Stanford guys will try to design and patent an anti-inflammitory and it will cost you alot and not solve the problem. Address the source of inflammation.

Im surprised no one in this thread knows this and debate has wandered into little to no value.

If you are suffering from this, please please research candidasis or candida cleanse.

Semi-related: When I was in the canyons of New Mexico learning about various tribes and their lifestyles, I learned that many died from tooth-related infections. This is because the mortars they used were made from softer stone that crumbled in the grinding process (when they grind maize). These tiny pieces of stone essentially ground down their teeth.

If I remember correctly, because of this their average lifespan was just over 30 yrs.
I looked into this deeply about six months ago. I don't remember the specifics.

There's a paper out there where two completely separate groups of scientists disagree with each other on what the adjustments to the data should be. These are not alarmist versus deniers, these are both alarmist scientists who think it's a big problem.

They both can't be correct. Someone is making incorrect adjustments.

As to the models, when the models failed to predict reality, they should have been thrown out. But they keep turning out revision after revision of the models, which continue to fail to predict the future.

You cannot claim that models are predictive of anything until they have successfully predicted actual reality, but what these scientists are doing are saying "well, the models didn't predict well, but we made adjustments and now they predict better), which means nothing. For all we know, the adjustments could've made the predictions worse.

The other side defends by stating that the models are the best we have, but I would argue that they are worse than nothing. They have gone from being wildly inaccurate, to just somewhat inaccurate.

Of course I don't have any proof, because the internal deliberations are not public, the code for the models is not public, and the revisions to the data and models are not public.

Frankly, I'd be very happy if they would release the source code for the models so we could see what a clusterfuck they are.
The reason I had heard is because Mormon's make great door-to-door salesmen. Many of the men have spent a year or two of door-to-door proselyting (attempting to convert). So they're used to selling to strangers and also being rejected. I'm not sure how true this is, but it seems plausible.
Once again the 9th circuit makes a ridiculous decision that hopefully gets overturned. The fact that they sided with Facebook in that lawsuit shows how out-of-touch they are with reality. Hopefully it gets overturned.
yep, we may live in an age and a culture where religion is rejected as irrational but our brain circuitry for faith and existentialism is still there. We all have deities whether they are conventional (God, Allah, etc), political (the invisible hand of the free market, social progress, individualism), spiritual (new-age-ism, karma, universal consciousness) or pseudo-scientific (utopianism, scientism, singularitarianism). We all feel a need to believe in something higher than ourselves and if it isn't an archetypal expression of our cultural values and lessons (i.e. a religion) then it'll be some other way to answer the hard questions of life like what is good, what matters, what should I aim for and so on.
Missing the point. The causal agent is secondary to the overarching question of what good this (or similar) research does in a predominantly libertarian political environment.
> People should not form opinions based on who other people work for, when they aren't speaking for their companies. This is precisely a type of bias we should be seeking to prevent. It adds no value to an intellectual discussion. It just gives a mechanism for smug self satisfaction by saying "hey, i don't have to care if he has a good point, he works for X so i can just pretend it's not a real argument"

The irony is that by not disclosing the company you work for, you actually make it worse. If you disclose any conflicts of interest, then people will be less likely to accuse you of having an ulterior motive. I suppose it's a philosophical choice of living like how you want the world to be or how it is now and who am I to tell you how to live your life!

I don't understand this. Anyone remember a time when companies used their developers to update their site without having to raise hundreds of millions of dollars?

> An early version of the new design, which we saw during our interview, looks similar to Facebook’s News Feed or Twitter’s Timeline:

So they will look like Facebook. Because nothing says cool and trendy like the social site your parents and aunts and uncles use. Now nothing wrong with aunts and uncles using the site, it's just that "fresh" and "cool" aren't exactly the first things that come to mind there.

> The company has about 230 employees, up from around 140 at the beginning of the year. Huffman would like to end 2017 with around 300 full-time staff.

That sounds odd too me as well, maybe I am not versed in startup culture. Having a goal of going from 230 to 300 people seems like a pointless metric (and wasteful). It's like saying "I want to write 1000 lines of code today".

I haven't seen much mentioned about moderation and admins and how they censor and manipulate content and talk about fostering better communities and so on.

> Eventually, though, Altman and Reddit’s other investors will want their money back and then some. Huffman says there are lots of ways for Reddit to exit, none of which he’s focused on at the moment.

Well there is the answer. They are trying to sell it. "Hey, Psst! Wanna buy this cool site for $2B. It looks fresh like Facebook, and we just grew by 30% (230 to 300 employees) in the last few months. Close your eyes and imagine that hockey stick graph going up, and the value you'd be getting out of it".

...and we've come full circle. The industry demonstrably brought this upon itself by cargo-culting Google's interview process; combine an environment where people are expected to know how to invert a BST for a Django or Rails job with a group of people who are naturally inclined to optimise and shortcut and this is exactly what you can expect to happen.

From a personal perspective, if I were to decide to switch jobs, I'd break out Cracking the Coding Interview rather than reading papers detailing how best to implement a Splay Tree because it's simply a better use of my time for the task at hand. I'll cheerfully read the latter on my own time, but not in preparation for an interview.

I don't see this culture changing anytime soon. 1) it's difficult to make an industry-wide shift and 2) more crucially, no-one has found a better way of doing it. It'll be interesting to watch though.

> I don't know how anybody can take models like this seriously. It's about as valid as any of these economists models. Hell, it is partly an economic model.

There is a huge variety of models spanning the gamut of complexity. This analysis is for one. It's about adding to the literature.

> Reading the paper, they make a big deal about the out of sample testing - but given that there is a clear trend, is anybody surprised the model fits? Do you even need a fancy Bayesian hierarchical model or would a regression have predicted the same thing.

Again, they probably don't need the Bayesian model, and regression models have been explored thoroughly in the literature. This is simply another tool, and another data point.

> To top it off there's not mention of the CO2 cycle and the forces sucking CO2 out of the air they just assume the CO2 is cumulatively stasis in the air for perpetuity.

I feel like a broken record, but there have been studies on this as well. Further, cumulative emmisions are an important indicator. See: http://www.pnas.org/content/106/6/1704.abstract

> This is the reason why there is growing discontent for climate science. We need it now more than ever, but the academic community just publishes bullshit and yells at us if we doubt the veracity of their models.

Erm, this paper fully acknowledges the fact that it's a completely statistical model, and the many ways that it could be completely incorrect. If anything, blame Nature for publishing it, not the authors for doing the work.

How many climate modeling papers have you read? They are not all statistically based (in fact many of the big oness are completely process based if that makes you happy). Much of the literature is aimed directly at addressing both uncertainty and error, and if you actually speak to anyone doing the work they will most certainly drone you half to death about things they wish they could fix/take into account.

> We've had a period of cooling that none of their models have predicted, and instead of saying, hey we aren't that good at modelling, they and everyone else who went all-in politically on these models have started a hate campaign against skepticism.

Ugh, I'm not even going to address this one. Someone else did a good enough job already.

> It's a strange world where scientists use the word 'skeptic' as a derogatory term.

Let's be clear here - that term is a propaganda technique used to astroturf and whitewash. I agree, it's unfortunate terminology, but it's not the fault of the scientists.

I have some questions: How does measurement of leadership happening in those interviews? How is measurement of explaining hard terminology and principles in easier terms is measured? How is a reliability as the team member measured?

For the first-you can't asses leadership ability just out of the blue since each company has different set of values and approaches there. (For example Army vs Google leadership styles)

For the second-you need some 3rd person who has relatively low understanding of the field you testing person for, then you need to ask candidate to explain something to that person and then ask the 3rd person to tell you what did they learn or understood from this conversation. So far I see no other way about it, if you have better ideas, please share.

And third, well only time can show such attribute as reliability as a team players. There is way too many thing could go wrong in chemistry between team and the candidate.

This one of those largely company things where bosses assert their authority and power in the organization based on the head count under them. So in many companies people hire extensively even if they absolutely don't have to.

The more people you have under you, the more you are considered powerful.

> I guess you haven't heard that folks don't like ads?

Nope they don't and Reddit hasn't really been heavily focused on ads. But they do have a large user base, very focused topics etc etc.

So setting up say a /r/games_of_thrones page, if I was HBO could be very lucrative or marketing my products to the subscribers.

> There's more to compel a person to go to Facebook than there is to Reddit.

Reddit has somewhere north of 200 million users, that is a large audience to ignore. So yes FB maybe king but Reddit has its place.

Theres a recent follow-up from fortune on this, worth reading.. according to the article the stock price has grown back to roughly where it was before Ackman's campaign. However they're in the middle of a lot of changes in response to the FTC settlement so material changes in the future are also possible.

Most likely there won't be any developments until the fall when the effects of the FTC settlement are reported in Herbalife's earnings. But that will only show how well they evaded the judgment since the FTC has been lacking on the enforcement front for a long time.
