I gotta know where VC dimension is used in the real world.
Pardon my bayseanity, but the article discusses P(Engineer|Terrorist), not P(Terrorist|Engineer). I'm saying that a similar claim holds for P(Muslim|Terrorist), while your point is regarding P(Terrorist|Muslim). But…
Thought experiment: replace "engineers" with "followers of Islam". The math still checks out, but suddenly I'm not so comfortable discussing the sociological/psychological reasons behind the correlation.
In any large organization you'll see instances of departments clashing over projects, managers going over each others' heads and bureaucratic turf wars. I'm sure these disputes are at least as common inside the NSA, or…
So far Israel hasn't featured high on Isis' agenda, and there have been no significant isis attacks on Israeli targets. This is despite the fact that they almost share a border. Neither are Palestinians' rights a top…
If only there was any sort of work in tech outside of Silicon Valley, us engineers wouldn't have to choose between saving money and pooping indoors. Imagine that.

I feel that casting all Palestinians as eternal victims with no control over their fate until Israel decides otherwise is pretty patronizing. You're basically denying their agency and labeling them as hopeless children.…
You're definitely right about the technical bias. Most comments here support this theory. I just offered a supplemental explanation, based on my experience. Kudos to you for overcoming that bias. I'm still working on it.
I'm also reading some cultural clash between American and Europeans/Mediterranean mentalities. Prioritizing your business model over your product and answering amiably to annoying questions are decidedly "American"…
"I have no clue why I still call it weekend, because there are weeks I don’t even dress myself, let alone keep track of what day it is". To me it sounds like you're lonely, and it's affecting your overall emotional…
