I Desided To Not Ask Question

Why I have decided not to ask any question on international current affairs and diplomacy ?

Mr President does not need to fix the date for two reasons.

Firstly - If the US and allied forces pull out of Iraq, then every tribe within it's borders will take up arms in an attempt to establish the next Saddam type regime.

Secondly - Ther intentions of Iran are unclear but obviously threatening. Whilst the USA have a foothold within Iraq, it has the perfect staging post for a strike on Iran.

Look for a settlement in the Iranian problem before you can expect a withdrawl from Iraq.

I never knew if something was wrong with my questions or the people around me to whom I ask these questions.On Quora, I tried asking 3 questions when I joined it. Just 5 responses to 3 questions made me realise that something is definitely wrong with my questions and finally I stopped asking. Though Answering comes naturally to me. Around 200 answers on Quora shows that.That’s my reason behind negligible questions that appear in my profile.:-)

What 10 questions would you ask a machine/human for the Turing test?

Asking indirect questions. Asking questions that relate to each other.What is your favorite vegetable?Setting up for later questions.What is your favorite lunch?Setting up for later questions.Where do you usually get that from?This is easy for a person. “that” clearly means the favorite lunch, but it’s an extra step for an AI. Favorite lunch: burrito. Where do I get it? Chipotle. Burger? Ted’s Montana Grill, or Five Guys, etc. Easy for a person. An AI would have to remember their answer from question 2, and relate it to a place where one can get that item.What did you have for lunch today?Easy enough to have this question prepared for, but sets up the next question.What did you have for lunch yesterday?An AI program may have the “lunch” question programmed. But they probably have it answered once. Sometimes repeating this question for different days results in the same answer from an AI.What’s the color of your favorite vegetable?The AI has to remember a response from 5 questions ago and determine the color. Many times the AI will see “color” and “favorite”, and simply throw out “their” favorite color. So for instance, their favorite vegetable might be “carrot,” but their favorite color is “blue.” For this question, they might respond “blue.”How do you prepare them?From context, almost any person would realize I’m talking about the vegetables from question 6.What High School did you go to?Who was your favorite teacher there?Once again using “there” to make the AI go through an additional step. This will be an easy answer for any person.Why were they your favorite?This isn’t information that can be looked up, it’s information that is felt. Does the respondent’s answer feel right?

When and why did you decide to join Quora?

I think it was over a year ago that I've technically joined Quora? Not sure. I never keep track of time anymore, only what month it is.At first, I rarely came on here to answer questions. Then it became everyday, but only when I had the time to do so. Now I'm trying to come on here less, since I'm barely getting upvotes; even just one. So why I should come here everyday then, when I'm struggling?I love answering questions, especially dealing with things I love or relate to. Even so, you have assholes out there who just has to say something.When I commented on an answer dealing with Black Butler, someone responded with:“Black Butler fan boy spotted.”First of all, I'm 100% female. Last time I checked between my legs, I didn't have two balls and an elongated organ between my legs. On top of that, I never heard of a male with the first name Angelique.From what I could tell, they were pretty salty that I backed up every single useless complaint in the answer.When it comes to answering questions dealing with anime, that's where the most people comment immature words under your answer. If you don't like what I write in my answers, then just ignore me. Unless, most of those people are 10 year olds.

Do employers decide not to hire someone based on their age?

That happened to me. When I finished my contract writing air traffic control software for Lockheed Martin, I applied to do the same job at Thales. I figured I was a shoe-in because ATC software requirements are mind-bogglingly strict, as they should be when you’re trying not to crash planes or fly them into each other.Thales turned me down on the basis that there were “too many jobs” on my résumé. I explained that I had been a contractor so of course there were a lot of jobs but they wouldn’t budge. I suspect the real reason was that I was too old.It was a big shock as I was told I got the LM job because I had a lot of experience. They wanted someone with more than twenty years experience so they didn’t kill people.

What are the most important questions to ask when starting a new business?

My journey has been and still is one of the greatest challenges of my life and also the most rewarding in many ways. I look back on what I have achieved so far and I am proud of the progress made however, for me, my journey will never end, simply because I love it and will keep reinventing myself and trying new things until I am no longer able to do it.What are your goals?Are you starting this business simply because you want to be a millionaire overnight? If you answer yes to this, don’t waste your time and money.Are you passionate about what you want to do?It is a very long and challenging journey, are you prepared for it? Then ask yourself are you REALLY prepared for it?A good idea is worth about £10. A profitable business is made by market demand and the delivery of that idea to the market.Is what you want to do in demand?Do you have what it takes to deliver your idea to market?Do you have access to an experienced business mentor?Do you have the core business areas covered or do you have access to inexpensive experienced resources to help and guide you along the way?Do you have the capital available to support yourself for the next three to five years?Do you have the time to commit to your business? The first 24 months of my first business demanded my attention on average 18hrs a day, every day for the first two years.Do you have the self discipline to manage your time and prioritise tasks effectively? Don’t just focus on the fun and the exciting stuff and ignore some of the necessary but boring tasks.Do you have very understanding and supportive friends and family? It will be a long and very difficult road at times with many ups downs. You may miss family and friends gatherings as the business demands more of your time, understanding friends and family is critical at these times.This will be a steep learning curve and as with all learning, there is a lot of trial and error. Are you mentally prepared to take failure as a part of the learning process and move on or are you the type of person who will give up when you fail?Can you take criticism? I am not talking about the criticism of neigh sayers (the people who will tell you it cant be done and relish in your failures) I am talking about constructive criticism, the type of criticism that really makes sense when you remove the emotion/pride/ego from it.If your answers are positive to these questions and you decide to go ahead, I wish you all the very best in your venture, enjoy the ride.

How do I ask the HR person by mail whether I am selected or not after a few days of interview?

I do not think you should even consider it an issue if you want to understand the response. You deserve it. If they do not let you know of it, you have got every right to ask for it.But, remember:1. You cannot sound like you are impatient2. You cannot give the feeling of constant harrassment3. You cannot just go on bombarding them with questions / mails / letters4. You cannot sound that you are desperate for the job; nor can you sound you care two hoots about the jobBelieve me: if the company has decided to recruit you, they will not go back just because you asked them what was happening. (And, here is the surprise: if they decided not to recruit you, your mail may or may not make them change their mind!)An example format:Dear …. (hopefully you know the name…if not say Sir / Madam)Please recall that I had the fortune of interviewed by your company on …. for the position. I believe that overall it went well and as I said in the interview, I would love to work for your company.If it is not early, can I be advised if you have decided anything - hopefully positive - on my candidature? A positive and early response would help me to get prepared for the new phase of my life.Looking forward to working with you and with regards

Can you ask a friend to plan her wedding date around your schedule?

No. Just no. She already knows about your plans. But her groom, his family and her family are more important than you. Not to mention what the best date is for the bride and groom.

I have been in the wedding business. There is never a perfect date. What ever date they pick will bad for someone on the guest list.

Then there is booking all the venues. The church or receptions venue may not be available.


You told her of your conflict. Now leave it. And if she still picks the date that conflicts with your plans, deal with it. It isn’t anything g to be mad about, many other factors go into picking a wedding date that have nothing to do with you.

My good friend got married when I was scheduled to be overseas for a study aboard program. I would of been her bridesmaid. To reschedule her wedding would of put it back 3 weeks. It was a big disappointment to miss the wedding. But I tried to be sure she knew I understood
