Aren't a lot of these European countries a lot more pragmatic (cut throat?) about who can go to college? For example in Germany, I was under the impression that around adolescence they start dividing people into the…
The cynical answer is about 7-15: themselves, their family and close friends. Or at least thats how it appears in the US given how little we do about it, even though we (half) give it plenty of lip service.
From physics, it seems like cosmology has a whole bunch. What the heck is dark matter made out of? Why is the the expansion of the universe accelerating? These seem qualitatively different than the "aesthetic problems"…
Not the OP but I believe the second option would be raising the child.
Right, so I was speaking personally there and I can confidently say among the priority of things I care about my relationship with my wife, how I manage my budget and my overarching career goals all of the decisions…
I definitely don't contest the amount of tracking these companies do. I wouldn't even be surprised if it goes beyond what I can even imagine. But when it comes to control can we at least attempt to quantify it or at…
I absolutely agree if your model is wrong any causal inferences you draw will be wrong. However his framework does provide mechanisms for determining if your data is inconsistent with your model (ie certain…
You are way overstating the knowledge of most practicing physicians. You are right that most of them learned about these topics at some point, but have quickly forgotten them. I worked with a pediatrician who works in…
Thanks for the link and extra info! You have definitely looked at this more carefully than I have.
Why do you need a graduate degree in humanities to make cultural contributions? Many people who have made substantial cultural contributions never earned a graduate or even an undergraduate degree in humanities.
Machine learning is used widely across a huge number of industries and fields from internet search, pharmaceuticals, mining/energy, digital security, entertainment, etc... So the commercial benefits are definitely…
On your first point I really don't think this is true in CA with community colleges providing a solid (relatively easy) path to the UCs. I was able to go from a local CC to a local UC and because of that I was able to…
I'm sorry, but this is just so wrong. I'm not saying humans can't eat meat, but if you compare the digestive track and other physiological factors of humans to animals that actually evolved to eat meat like lions the…
>> Someone said any field with "Science" in the name isn't really a science. Computer science, data science, political science, social science, etc The etc. would also include cognitive science/neuroscience, medical…
A bit off topic but related to your link, if anyone is interested in more details on gardening with soil ecology in mind the teaming series by Jeff Lowefels is great. There is Teaming with Microbes, Teaming with…
Maybe I'm just not creative enough, but what is a better alternative? Let's say you have a subscriber model, but than what kind of world will it be where only the wealthy have access to these communication technologies…
