We now laugh about it and expect to get turned down when all the stars are aligned. As a result, I only apply to positions where I am interested in talking with the people that work there so I at least get to enjoy that aspect.

> Now we just need to figure out what are they doing differently to enable such phenomenal recall.

The feat can be reproduced by a trained memorizer. I would be very surprised if people with HSAM are not regularly reviewing events in some way.

From a different source:

> People with HSAM tend to obsess over events (even mundane ones) more than the average person. They ruminate over what happened during the day and organize everything in their minds over and over again.

> In fact, they often report “habitually recalling their memories, a seemingly compulsive tendency,” noted Aurora K.R. LePort and her colleagues. “Every night before bed one participant recalls what occurred on that day X number of years ago. Another recalls, while stuck in traffic, as many days as possible from a certain year.”
That also pushed most of the western world and some other financial hubs into meltdown too! This doesn’t just affect the USA :(
> I think it's probably only true for software that primarily serves large users of OSS.

I think I understand what you're trying to say, but I'm not sure that description makes any sense. Prior to the popular OSS version being created, in most cases an OSS version didn't exist so there couldn't be a large set of users of OSS.

Apache has been run on windows for decades (or very close to it) now. Same with Sendmail, and MySQL These are people that chose to run open source software on a proprietary operating system (windows 98 or windows 2000), so I'm not sure large sets of OSS users had much to do with it. I think it's more that the software was robust, it worked, and it was free.

I think what your point is getting close to though is that it's probably true for software that has a more technical audience. Setting up server software requires some technical fluency, even today (if much less than in prior decades), and those people are more likely to both have heard of competitors, to be able to assess how they might perform in comparison, and to be able to actually install and troubleshoot them given the generally more complex documentation.

What I think we've seen over the last few decades though is that those technically minded people have come to become users of OSS. That is, I think your cause and effect was backwards, as those people are now users of OSS because there's good, solid OSS software that makes sense for them to choose, and once they're using it they are OSS users.

If you pass screening rounds but not on-site, you may need to work on how you present yourself. On-site interviews are just as much about how much they like you and want to work with you as it is about acing the technical screening side.

Some red flags for on-sites:

- if you do not attempt to develop rapport before, during, or after the interview

- if you are any of the following: conflict-insensitive, overly-quiet, don't explain yourself or your decisions well, only show answers and not the thought process, take no initiative / force the other party to initiate all conversation topics, etc.

- a sub-par communicator technically or otherwise. This usually means that you don't respond in the correct way to cues that people give out. As an example, if a person asks an open ended question, they likely want to put the ball in your court and have you sell yourself or confidently take the topic and run with it. If you answer tersely with very little knowledge shared, that's probably a failed communication interaction. Too many of those can lead to a no hire decision.

I think this problem is magnified with older candidates because the expectation for being a great communicator is higher the older you are.

Usually star candidates communicate very well and have the technical chops to back it up, not the other way around. Plenty of technically strong people are hindered in their effectiveness in an org by their sub-par communication abilities.

Don't be scared going into a tea shop: the point of going there is to try teas before you buy them. A proper tea shop will let you sample the teas.

Start tasting from the cheapest ones, find the kind you like, and then try the more expensive versions of that kind until you no longer can taste the difference.

With loose leaf tea, just brew it to instructions (again, tea shops will provide timing/temperature for multiple infusions) - and you can see and taste the quality with your eyes. I've never experienced anything remotely close to "20% twigs and dust" even in store-bought cheapest loose leaf teas - anything that's not in teabags usually unwraps beautifully.

Of course, get a ceramic teapot if you don't already own one. For temperature control, if you don't want to get a kettle with a thermostat, add a splash of cold water to the kettle before brewing green teas: if the water is colder than necessary, green tea will take longer to brew, but usually will turn out OK, but overly hot water can make it taste badly/bitterly (black teas are brewed with boiling water).

If you know people from China or Taiwan, ask them! Not everyone there is a tea aficionado, but those who are will be a great source of information (..and possibly samples, especially if they get to travel there regularly). And in any case, best way to find out about tea is having tea with someone who knows a bit about it.

To my taste, one can rarely go wrong with a Taiwanese tea (the ones that make it to the US at least). High-mountain oolongs are my favorite kind of tea currently, but it's just one kind.

But the only way to get into tea - just like into anything - is try, try, try. If you need ratings/reviews, there is RateTea[1] - you can go to any Asian store, grab a can, and see if you can find the description (although that website can be a bit snobby at times).

I second the advice others have given (go to any Asian store, grab any middle-priced package). I've found some great tea that way (and if it doesn't taste good - try another one!). Also, I had good luck with using Google Translate / OCR apps to decipher the labels.

Where are you located?

There's lesson to be learned everywhere, including Tokyo. But it's hardly a perfect system. The main trains and stations are absurdly busy (to a degree where it won't work in the US). Signage is awful, and many station are confusing.

If you're looking to build something at the same scale of Tokyo (in terms of KMs of track, and daily ridership) I think you need to do better. The system feels like it's bursting at the seams.

On a smaller scale, Taipei's subway is pretty damn impressive. Hong Kong's octopus and airport express are still gold standards in payment and airport link. Finally, in many way's Shanghai takes the cake, in large part because of how it went from nothing to this massive system (largest by distance, I believe), in a relatively short time. I believe Shanghai has roughly the same daily ridership as Tokyo and, although it's also insane at peak hour, it's better than the worst of the Yamanote line.
It is now clear that globalisation’s cheerleaders did globalisation no favour by ignoring the losers. In fact, they helped deliver President Donald Trump unto us, a claim for which there is also some empirical evidence. History has repeatedly shown that a reliable way to fuel nationalistic, insular, populist politics is to ignore the downsides of disruptive economic change.

If history has repeatedly shown that, why on earth didn't all these brilliant frikkin' economists figure that out BEFORE conditions got so damned bad for so many people?

The article is a good start I suppose, but, the outline is soft, vague, lacking detail and uncertain. Its approach to helping workers hurt by globalization is barely developed. What are the specifics for each age group of workers? The specifics by industry and educational level and region of the country?

These economists still don't know what they're talking about.

Interest being deductible is just one way of incentive ownership. In Canada they don't make interest deductible for your primary residence (you can deduct it for rental properties however), but you're exempt from Capital Gains tax when you sell your primary residence.

On coffee methods the standard is 1 gram coffee to 17 grams water, with some flexibility for brew strength preference.
