Why is everyone that disagrees with you being flagged? We don't accept dissent or discussion here?
so signals. If you're talented enough you don't need signals, you just provide value. So for many people, acquiring signals is a complete waste of time and money.
I've not only always shared an apartment since college, I've shared rooms. Millennial, two STEM degrees, live in a 2nd-tier city, and likely a decade more before I can afford a down payment. So uhhhh....checkmate?
we have to do something about the interest rates though, there are tons of programs to help cap your payment...but you're just kicking the can down the road as your balance goes up.
Would you be ok with instituting a law that mortgage and medical debts can no longer be discharged through bankruptcy? I bet people get really irresponsible when they realize they don't have to pay these debts, they…
I managed to get about 70% of my entire undergrad (tuition, books, and living expenses) covered by academic scholarships. Even with working every summer, every Christmas break, and through 3 of the 4 years while at…
you can't be compassionate if your compassion only extends to the point that it starts to have any negative effect on your life. Then you're just a dick that wants to pretend you are a better person than you are. The…
Most medical operations have an army of people supporting physicians. I used to work at a medical lab and there were transcriptionists, billing dept, a dept. for quality assurance of every report a doctor wrote,…
Companies don't want to deal with being debt collectors is what this comes down to. My last job paid for a good portion of my masters, every time I was reimbursed for tutition there was a set amount of time I had to…
A lot of physicians either push to restrict the supply of docs or look at this "issue" and do nothing about it. They do not want their wages to decrease by opening up the market (have had physician friends say this to…
If docs didn't slot 15 minutes per patient, then they would need to charge each patient much, much more or make much, much less. There is no other way around that.
Any insight for someone that already works as a bioinformatics scientist that wants to move into deep learning? I've got the programming, math, some stats, and am currently involved in research, but I only know a little…
No, doctors do not have "too much information to consume" especially in relation to new drugs on the market. In the highly specialized field of medicine, you do not need to know about every drug that comes out every…
Used to think that, but after you contribute to a pharma company that's out to "improve patient's lives" by waiting until they're on their death beds and using that leverage to extract as much capital as possible...you…
I'm on the west coast, not San Francisco, but average rent for a 1BR here is $1700. I make less than half of 150k. It's whatever, I'm working to move industries. I just look at these numbers for INTERNS and realize I've…
The two times I've made major moves in my life I thought the new water tasted awful. In both cases I acclimated and the water was tasteless within a month or two.
Jesus Christ, I need to get out of life sciences. What a fucking mistake that was.
>The cause of economic inequality is several generations of government disrespect... And who makes up the government that writes and votes on these laws? And who uses their money to influence the people in these…
This guy cannot honestly be as dumb as he presented himself in this article. I guess if he thinks people will buy his explanation he very well might be.
It shouldn't matter if his reasons are he wants to sit at home, get high, and eat doritos. Businesses aren't families, employees shouldn't be discriminated against because another employee needs/wants help.
I think a better way to frame this is "Hard work barely matters when you work for someone else." I've been in too many situations and witnessed too many friends and family members that shoot for the moon but are never…
It definitely surprises me that with all the talk of "following your passion" and "changing the world", we see pretty much 0 innovation in HOW a company works/is owned/etc. Instead all innovation is focused at the…
...but I thought most entrepreneurs wanted to "change the world" with "revolutionary" businesses?
If it's a loose tie, it's not a big deal that I don't know about their big life milestones. Sometimes I hear through the grape vine, but if not then the next time I see them we have a lot of catching up to do! Would…
There's very few people that would not be deep in poverty if they only received 2/5 of their wages. I spend 1.25 days a week working just to afford rent (roommates, very crappy construction, no AC, no central heat,…
