My approach to that question is to talk about a skill related to but not required for the role I’m applying for which I would like to learn. I try to present myself as someone motivated to improve his skills in such a way that I would be qualified for the position I’d like for them to promote me to within five years if they hire me.
This one is for screening before the interview rather than the interview itself but it really bugs me: multiple-choice “How knowledgeable are you about X?” Do I have expert knowledge of C++? No, because I have just 20 years of experience. Bjarne Stroustrup has expert knowledge of C++. I’m not sure what these questions are intended to do. Are they just an HR hoop to jump through and I need to say that I am an expert? Or is everyone deliberately trying to be deceptive always claiming to be an expert in everything, so I am supposed to say that I’m not?
I’m rather more libertarian than most but I don’t think the free market, as generally envisioned, implies the freedom to send money to countries that your country is currently at war with.
I wouldn’t want to be one of the dudes in the speedboat though…
Well, it is getting ended…
Almond-scented stuff (not almonds themselves - they have no noticeable smell to me).
Pine forests, the sort with lots of dry pine needles on the ground.
He’s saying that because the population of the USA is approximately 40 times larger than that of Israel, the loss of one Israeli life would diminish Israel to an extent proportional to how much the loss of 40 American lives would diminish the USA.
The first clip show episode is actually season 4 episode 18, but the framing for the clips is so good that the episode is worth watching.
There’s very little chance that the USA will accept the plan - among other things, that would mean paying reparations to Iran.
Generally when I choose to do something, I have the hope that it will turn out well. Although I’m aware that it might not and I’m prepared to deal with that possibility, if I knew with certainty from the start that what I was considering doing would not turn out well then I would not choose to do it.
According to gay people I’ve talked to who tried to adopt but ended up paying a surrogate, adopting a healthy baby is very difficult. Children available for adoption are generally older and/or have serious health problems.
There is an element of hypocrisy in all this because American intelligence agencies were previously caught intercepting Cisco-made routers on their way to customers and updating their firmware to deploy espionage tools.
It’s not hypocrisy to try to spy on others while preventing them from spying on you.
Are we? I’m looking to buy a car and I think gas cars make the most sense even now, because the change in the price of gas seems like a relatively small part of the cost of car ownership. A one dollar increase in the cost of a gallon of gas works out to about $300 a year in extra costs for me. That’s not enough to tip the balance towards an electric car.
For reference, I’m comparing a Hyundai Elantra N to a Tesla Model 3 - the Hyundai costs as much as the base Tesla at about $36.5k, but to get similar performance you’d need the $42.5k premium Tesla, and that price difference pays for enough gas to go 40,000 miles.
Yeah, although I admit that I thought biotech was the most interesting and important thing I wanted to do back when I chose it over 20 years ago, but knowing what I do now, I wish I had gone into machine learning instead.
Reporters and networks are prohibited from publishing the precise location of Iranian missile impacts, or even filming or photographing the extent of the damage in a way that could give away the location — restrictions designed, in the words of the army’s chief censor Col. Netanel Kula, “to prevent assistance to the enemy during wartime.”
The restrictions sound completely reasonable. This reminds me of how we would laugh when Russian soldiers uploaded detailed depictions of the damage done by Ukrainian attacks, because they were being so foolish.
But people actually do do this, if for some reason a PC is overheating or the built-in fans are making too much noise. A big fan running slowly moves more air more quietly than a bunch of little fans. I even wired an external DC fan into the PC’s power supply once so that I wouldn’t have to plug them in separately.
I worry that a major ground invasion is the least bad option available to the USA now, and the Trump administration is not capable of carrying it out.
But what about the people with strongly felt but incoherent world-views, like the ones who voted for Sanders before voting for Trump? They need memes too!
Why is the height of a Ferris wheel on the UK citizenship test?
Look at Mr. Part of a Community here strutting his stuff.
