I think at this stage I would look to major in something that interests you and give you a degree you can immediately apply upon graduation (e.g. computer science) but take all the pre-med classes to keep that option open. But also, talk to people in the field, find out what they like/don't like and if they had to do it all over again, what they would do.d In the end though, it's really hard to optimize any given career path so don't put too much pressure upon yourself if you feel like you don't have a clear idea of what you want to do, just keep exploring as much as you can. As for what to do if your startup fails, you would either start another or get a job.

Fun game. Just a couple of nits:

1. I'd like some indicator of when a move is "charged up" instead of having to click on it.

2. In the dialog for the message "The move you want to use is not charged up yet.Click 'ok' and then select another move." the button actually says "close" not OK.

Overall well done though!

If not a pure wolf then quite possibly a hybrid.dd

You can try doing a press release, for example through PrWeb or similar, that will send your announcement to multiple outlets that might write it up if it fits their audience. It’s kind of a shotgun approach though.

Our response to a global pandemic was a disaster other than getting the vaccines made. The most recent large scale collective effort to defeat an existential threat prior to that was probably WWII. We’ve gotten pretty good at waging war but I fear that’s probably where our evolution in the matter of dealing with existential threats will probably remain.

I can remember when object-oriented programming was all the rage and if you didn't see the light you were just too stuck in your ways apparently. I imagine back then Dave may have had some similars arguments with the senior programmers he worked with at the time as you did with him. You didn't cause his terminal illness.

I would expect most software dev jobs to hit the maximum payout but assuming that Walmart/helpdesk job will always be there and you can cover health insurance then it seems to me it would be better to take the unemployment first and get paid to send off a few resumes and have the time to do other things instead and then get the help desk job if you need to.

I've never done one but here are the rules: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html

If interest rates drop further and anti-trust goes back to being consolidation friendly so VC's can once again get their payouts by selling their startups to big tech, then you'll see more VC investment into startups which will drive demand for tech workers and, as such, make bootcamp grads attractive again.

I've been doing iOS app development since 2009, prior to that I was writing perl and SAS for ETL and generating research datasets for an investment bank and as such would be interested in a data engineering position as well.

Make an app and publish it. Doesn’t matter what it is you’re just doing it so you can get back into the practice of making something and you’ll have something you can talk with potential employers about , but if it solves a problem you have personally or it’s a problem you think you have a good solution for even better.

I live in San Francisco and a few blocks down the street from me is a street that always has a bunch of Saabs parked out on it. I don't know if it's one person that owns them or fixes them for others but I thought it was pretty random and interesting.

Interesting project! I could definitely see that being a fun thing at corporate parties (if those ever come back!) Btw, The url on your instagram is misspelled, should be .com

Not just that but, if you need to finance that degree, you need to also consider how long you're going to be paying it off.

Her close billionaire donor buddy Reid Hoffman is openly pressuring her to fire Lina Khan.

I knew a lot of physics (and other) PhD's when I worked in finance but I always wondered if they would have chosen to go into that field if they knew that's where they'd most likely end up.

I (M 57) don't have children nor a PhD, I don't regret not having children but do wonder if I missed out on something not having a PhD.

Which facts? I was wrong about the evidence needed for marketing authorization but, if I’m not mistaken, they would need that authorization in order to market the product in the first place so mentioning the FDA authorization would, in my opinion, potentially give people the wrong impression that the FDA has endorsed the product at a level (e.g. approval) which I don’t believe the FDA has done at this point.

Fair enough, I think I came to that conclusion because reading the next statement was just that they determined there were no major adverse events. But I think it still stands that this is only a marketing authorization, the FDA isn't saying it works, so really the company shouldn't be mentioning the FDA at this point unless they go for a stronger classification.

FDA did not approve it, that is the highest level and requires proof that it is more effective than placebo I believe. The FDA only looked for adverse events in the data and granted authorization to market it as they determined it is very low risk for adverse events. But people will be mislead by the FDA-authorized status as some kind of FDA blessing that it works: https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-perm...

I think the best test for general AI will be to invent a robot that can clean up after a dog.

No, and I don't know if the fact that everyone on their team page is wearing turtlenecks is a tongue-in-cheek joke or not but it gives off some real creepy Theranos vibes.

I was hoping to get in on the ground floor of this investment opportunity but it looks like I'm too late.

"By necessity, large companies ultimately operate by documented process and this makes it hard for them to accomodate outside-normal needs unless such accomodation has been encoded in the process."

I would think it's just the opposite. Larger companies are more likely to have the resource to make accommodations and a process for handling accommodation requests.

Unless you leave a note or tell someone, could the FAA determine it was intentional? Given the type of aircraft could a pilot plausibly commit suicide in a way that made it look like pilot error?

Stronger laws, but that will only happen when corporation can no longer buy politicians via campaign donations.

Maybe but depending on the time frame something like this might be more feasible: https://news.northwestern.edu/stories/2021/11/dancing-molecu...
