  • Yeah, this is basically how it goes. It depends what country you grew up in. Canada is the same way, almost everyone who grew up in Canada can swim (not necessarily well, but able to manage). This is partly due to the number of lakes that exist near populated areas so swimming is a common passtime and boating accidents are a fairly high cause of accidental death. There are some countries where it is much more rare.






  • The most likely situation is that the torrent isn’t good. I would also force a recheck of the torrent to double-check that the files on your disk haven’t been corrupted. But if that file is still saying “0 B” remaining (don’t just look at 100% as it may be rounded) after the recheck then I would bet pretty good money on a broken torrent. If this is a public tracker it is fairly common.

    However even if it is broken you may be able to play by using a different players. Different apps can skip over different forms of corruption, so you may get lucky.











  • It would be nice if there was a shortcut to go “back to previous site”. Because on one hand using back to navigate around map moves is often very convenient, but sometimes I want to go to the site before the map. Having a two-level history with page and site would be super useful.


  • This is a case of the streetlight effect. Evaluating the skills needed to do the job is very difficult in an interview setting, so most of the focus going on evaluating skills that are easy to evaluate in an interview (such as people skills).

    It isn’t wrong, as all else being equal it is still better to hire the person with better skills that you can measure but obviously is not a strong evaluation of candidate quality.
