Perhaps your work is really about making someone a bit richer, you realize this subconsciously and refuse to waste time on that pointless activity.
Ha, that was my first thought when I read the full title. Edit: in the abstract I've found this: "and only it's e_ects is observed."
I suppose the "Education fund" is indirectly owned by Trump?
Oh, there's a binding arbitration clause in all employment contracts.
Is it like a competition in sarcasm here?
Argh, Youtube is infested with ads these days: even after uBO has cut 200+ requests, youtube is still unusable.
I'm not seeing that luxury investment housing, though. The newly built houses are usually +/- cheap junk at premium prices. At the same prices there's a low supply of 30-40 year old homes, but of a way way better…
What opportunities? Tell me how an average cashier can land an average 150k/year job in a metro area? Don't forget that the said cashier has mediocre intelligence, so-so appearance, zero charisma and little talking…
I'm not sure how one would survive on 60k for even 10 years. This isn't an "investable" amount and it's not enough for food, yet along housing expenses.
Your countertops or your landlord's countertops? Because all the rest - all those iphones & vacations - is cheap fluff, really.
From their perspective, it would be rational to cut a deal with JPMC: they bring workforce back to offices, landlords get their money and give a % of that to a few execs at JPMC. And all the health related problems…
Professional scientists can't bet their reputation on a novel idea: a 1% chance it'll work out and 99% chance the scientist will be sent to academia's exile. It's better than what would've happened to them in medieval…
In some sense, the modern institute of science is somewhat like an orthodox church: a few pre-approved lines of thinking with a swift punishment for heretics. This is the biggest strength of science: this rigidness of…
I'm not a vegan of any sort, but one day I realized that I hadn't eaten meat for really long time and I didn't really want to anymore. That must have something to do with fruits: there's definitely some almost material…
"to focus fully on the world of ideas" - very interesting choice of words.
You know what? I have a clever idea: the Diversity Standard 500 index, or just DS500. We have this SP500 index: a weighted sum of 500 companies into which everyone invests piles of money. The weights are carefully set…
As funny as it sounds, we're watching the formation of "progressive fundamentalists" - their "inclusion committee" would give people a low social score if their skin isn't black enough, or their gender is too male or…
There was a precedent: blind auditions in orchestra. Results were rather predictable.
A levitating frog warrants even more skepticism, but it's levitating.
My favorite example of these water experiments is sonoluminescence: a tank of water is driven by a high-frequency acoustic transducer to create a 3d standing wave, which forms a tiny bubble of air or other gas that,…
This is some mediocre people came up with idea that they could easily understand what Calabi-Yau manifold is, if only mathematicians defined it with simple plain words. They don't like the idea that such a full…
In this example with Google, the higher ups might reject this idea, but only because the measure would have a net negative impact on their own bonuses: pulling the cheap drinks would make 0.3% of employees move and the…
Well, it does. If we make a random sample of 1 million people that are interested in tech and startups, then another million of those that aren't, measure the average "emotional charge" of both groups, we'll notice a…
I agree with every point you've made here except the last one: the MDN docs are very dry, precisely because they are designed for knowledge-first people.
Whenever someone says that something needs to change for the greater good, I want to say something snarky. Copyright law is like the orbit of Jupiter - it is the way it is because it's a balance of all involved forces -…
