Not much insight to offer.
This is the clearest signal to tell apart people who have studied applied math and people that haven't.
Fun fact: a big chunk of the lithium produced in the world is extracted from the Salar de Atacama: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salar_de_Atacama The method is to concentrate the lithium (from <1% to 7%) via evaporation…
Care to give some recommendations for a newcomer to that genre?
The "Original Sin" of not Governments not being able to get debt in the same currency they are able to collect taxes. So, when the main source of USD suffers in some sense (export prices, or some kind of supply shock)…
The Economist published an interesting report about that some months ago. The main takeaways were that (1) Argentine was rich, but lagged behind its money-peers in human development indexes such as literacy rates and…
The article doesn't mention the other obvious comparisons, the non-black latin american countries, such as Argentina and Chile. For instance, Chile ranks higher than the US here, despite being a poorer country:…
When banks go down they take down the economy with them; that's what 'too big to fail' means. It's not worth all the human suffering caused by a depression instead of a recession just to prove that the banks should be…
In Chile the State pays for it. The upward limit on the payment OTOH is quite low (<US$2k/month) but most employers choose to supplement the State payment with the balance of your paycheck.
That's a common (notation-induced) mistake. You just need to solve a linear system.
I would really like to read about the compact cassette design history. It's a really remarkable product in which you can appreciate a long list of trade-offs made by the designer(s).
That's strikingly accurate.
This looks about right for any kind of business, not just software development.
That's true. This should have two axes (at least). One with "domain specific knowledge" and other one with "programming expertise". Indeed, when domain experts reach some arbitrary level of programming expertise, many…
Wow, my dad bought an Apple //c when I was around 4 y.o. and it was kept at home until I was ~8, but I couldn't remember seeing a cassette port. At least I'm at peace now.
According to my experience, in Santiago the food and general bills are pricier and housing is cheaper compared with the rest of latam (Colombia, Argentina, Peru). The most expensive city here is Sao Paulo, by far.
That's standard practice for the mobile plans here in Chile. Such bandwidth for the first xxx Mb, 32kbps after that.
Wow, that's surprising, I'd love to hear about some (anecdotal) evidence supporting this.
Those are two genes that I'd love to have too, but in the reverse order.
There is a lot of people with the "if it works, don't touch it" mentality. MS would have sold a lot less if they had broke backwards compatibility. It took me some years to internalize the benefits of "if it works,…
My first programming language was C, so I became a business analyst. Some day I will figure why they keep me here working as one.
It's weird, but the kindle changed my relationship with books. Before the kindle they were something sacred, and a I had a big spreadsheet with the books I had, I had read and I wanted to have, and annotations regarding…
Warning: user perspective ahead: I have to agree with this. I work as an analyst in an investment bank, and my tools include MsWord, Excel, PP and rarely a python script. MSWord and PP are completely interchangeable…
I suppose that i read the entire sentence before parsing it, just because i need a slight rational effort to decode it.
Weird, as a non-native and non-fluent english speaker, I don't suffer that effect.
When you do this with mortages you get a financial crisis!
