What do you mean by 'Strattera' almost killed me? I was prescribed this and might have developed a liver issue from it although I'm not sure. Just curious if you found yourself in a similar situation.

Took about 10 seconds. Using a mobile workstation with an SSD and 32GB of RAM. Maybe I should go for 64GB? :D

You can do that yourself as a one-off change using the web tools. On Chrome, just right click on some whitespace and click inspect. On the bottom right, you'll find an option to the change the background color of the body section. There's something similar on firefox as well.

(ideally, the website should get the fix rather than you doing it... but this works better than notepad!)

Why so?

This is a net number. Meaning some number of men lost jobs but there were a greater number of men who gained jobs. Similarly some number of women gained jobs but there were a greater number who lost jobs.

The headline seems to imply that only women lost jobs in December which is more dramatic than the truth!

Ask HN: What are your understated superpowers?

from the ask-hn dept.

Hey HN! What are some things that you've put conscious effort into improving about yourselves, that really paid off in the long term, and most people around you are unlikely to notice the impact of?Examples:- Applying stats heuristically to daily life makes you better at dodging scams and identifying opportunities- Automating things in a non-programming job makes you achieve crazy productivity...

You might want to ask someone imprisoned for a long time about that.

I find it interesting they're all turning a blind eye to very obvious problematic behaviour!
Re:Ask HN: Data Science Masters degree for Accounting undergrad? on Saturday November 21, 2020 @01:34AM (#25168201)
Sure. I currently work in a global team for a fortune 500 company - the only Indian on the team. So I'm well aware of the possibility of remote work. But I have been hired by the local branch, not the headquarters. What I'm unsure of is if it's possible for a foreign company without a local branch to hire me directly. If there's a local branch/HR involved I'm sure to be subject to the compulsory "technical degree" condition for data science work.

Not sure how that might work. I'm unaware of any foreign companies hiring in India directly. Or did you mean something different?

That's a fair point. Thank you.
