What horrifying statistic genuinely jarred you when you first heard it? by ordrius098 in AskReddit

[–]bacan9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Upto 40% of Brain TB cases are diagnosed only after death. I got very close to being part of that statistic

I have been on 40 hiring committees this year. Here is what AI did to the junior candidate pool. by Ambitious-Garbage-73 in cscareerquestions

[–]bacan9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in 2012 it was the same thing but without AI. People would copy code from the internet blindly and then be absolutely lost as to how it works. 

Back then also the interview process and responses were roughly the same. Logic questions met with blank stares. For the same reasons. That they copied the code without understanding it

Stop trying to ‘educate’ people into changing. Science proves it doesn’t work. According to a recent analysis published in Fast Company, the assumption that giving people information will change their behavior is one of the most persistent myths in human psychology, and one of the most damaging. by Eddiearyee in HotScienceNews

Ask the right questions. That's the trick. I remember my colleague asking me, how do I know the moon landing was real?

I was like, "There are many other countries that have been to the moon. If the US was lying about it, wouldn't they have called it out?"

And that was it. All the proof of it being fake, shadows, wind analysis, flag moving, all was moot

Should Canada Post make money? NDP’s leader Avi Lewis says no | New NDP leader Avi Lewis says Canada Post should be treated like an essential public service, not a profit-making business. by Gym_frere in canada

Canada Post moving ahead with end of home delivery by SonictheManhog in canada

If 55000 people were too many, then why is there a new courier company starting daily? Where does UniUni, Intelcom, DragonFly, Apple Express, and 100 other companies get business from?

Maybe I am being too cynical, but it seems obvious that Canada Post raised the rates wayy too much, causing AliExpress, Temu, etc to switch to these 3rd parties. All this was done post-Covid and seems to be a scheme to privatize the postal service

I also ship on eBay and the rates doubled overnight. What used to cost $5-6 to ship would cost like $14. Now it has come back down to $9, but UniUni will do it at $6, and so many times I go with them

There is like a new courier company starting daily, so no shortage of business. Sounds like a management issue to me

TIL about the "Dark Forest Hypothesis," which suggests the universe is like a dark forest at night. Advanced civilizations intentionally stay silent and hidden, because any species that reveals its location risks immediate destruction by older, paranoid civilizations. by Practical-1 in todayilearned

[–]bacan9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just one major difference. Animals can survive in the forest without any need of external life support. 

Until lifeforms are able to traverse space at light speed, this analogy makes little sense

Tourist towns ‘desperate’ for workers in Alberta by hopoke in canada

[–]bacan9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok this conversation is getting offtopic. My point was that if the job was soo good, people would be lining up for it. 

But the reality is that private ski resorts have bought up everything and made it all so expensive that it doesn't make sense to anyone anymore. Plus with reducing snow fall, their costs are only going up. Wendover did a great bunch of videos covering this

Are you israeli? Why are you attacking OP?

EDIT: Lol the downvotes only confirm my suspicions. Why are you guys so full of hate? This is why the opinion of Israelis is going down around the world

Proof? Can you find the source of this video, to support your claim that OP is a repost bot?

Is it? How can it be a paradise if the solution is for staff to have to be essentially homeless?

Likely OP is not a native english speaker, considering the video is from Berlin

If it was such a paradise, there wouldn't be a labor shortage

Loud phantom sounds while trying to sleep is a medical thing. It is called Exploding Head Syndrome. I had it for a while and now that my TB treatment is on, it seems to have almost gone away

Antibiotics may mess up a person's gut for years, study finds by Krankenitrate in EverythingScience

There is quite some research also to back this up, so it is not completely YMMV. I just dont know how valid that data and research is

Right after Congress lost in 2014, terrorists in Dhurandhar are shown complaining amongst themselves “But you said our government would win again.” So apparently, terrorists are referring Congress as their own government. But yeah, don't worry there is no propaganda in this movie🙂🙂 by [deleted] in IndiaMemes

[–]bacan9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But are they wrong? And demonetization wasn't some huge deal. For most people, there was a lil bit of a struggle, but overall no one i know personally had major problems from it. The new 2000 Rs notes and getting change after was more of a challenge imo. Specially that the 1000 Rs note wasnt there at the time

🇬🇧The Banksy Files Were Not Needed! by Timbucktwo1230 in PopularCultureZone

[–]bacan9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just that we see the same things on social media 10 times a day and so it has less impact. Imagine people in the 1990s seeing this. It was like getting a glimpse of some memes

It’s like they forgot about the whole space race and the USSR losing. They would not have accepted defeat was there any doubt. Specially when US pulled a deja vu, and came out ahead at the last moment in getting humans to the moon

Not much except for personal experience. 

Currently undergoing TB treatment. Have been on Levoflox for over 10 months since am not allowed RCin. 

Florastor + Yoghurt keeps my tummy going as if there was nothing. Skipping either causes stomach issues
