Gamble on La Liga, and when you are bankrupt, go apply for welfare, because you are now poor.

It was a disaster at Wisconsin. Union favored the 8th year humanities students at the expense of the 1 and 2 year STEM students, and traded cash for benefits that really only affected people with families. Stipends were the lowest in the

Took me a while to realize that the elite college math books are terrible to learn from, and that having two or three textbooks is useful. Also, as taught in university, most of the harder problems are done in groups, which is how you reall

There's plenty of titanium in the us. They opened a mine in the Adirondacks just for this purpose in WW2, and there's tons of untapped ore. Chances are that it was cheaper to get from the USSR than to make it ourselves

Family sized houses often require two incomes (or at least one and a half) to afford. The idea that a single person working 190 or so days per year can get one is a bit deceptive. Teachers can work summers or after school to assignment th

Kind of a shame. They are shorter than first names, and, at least for women, convey a lot about a person's station and attitudes in life

Strikes me as an uphill lift. Amazon didn't agree to this contract, so going to be hard to enforce it. Most likely Amazon drops BTS if the union goes on strike

NYC LLs suffer huge penalties if a tenant airbnbs an apartment (there are extra special fines for that). They basically can't get a tenant out without tons of video evidence that the T is violating their lease. Now this. Basically i

Misleading article: proptech has made managing sfr at scale feasible. But the major drivers are low interest financing for bulk purchases of houses (much cheaper than mortgages), preferential tax treatment (no transfer taxes, no death t

I don't think they have as much power as they used to: There are a lot more writers, and a lot of people, who, if aided by chatgpt, can write competently for TV/movies/whatever. Less of it is in person; market is less closed

A lot of very mediocre people were getting pretty astounding money. Happens every cycle.

They have to record a liability for future charging until they extinguish it. If it is recorded at 20k per car, and they replace it with sitting like 6k per car, they make a huge profit

The rules penalized larger cars, but but equivalent sized SUVs. They also mandated a lot of new safety stuff that is heavy: airbags, side impact protection, pedestrian crash stuff, crumple zones, cameras, etc. So this basically killed off

I recall talking with a 70 year old physicist who was the last professor forced out by mandatory retirement. He was a great teacher and incredibly bitter about this. I work with a number of 75+ programmers- it is hard to get this right, an

I took it. I thought it was great, but there was only one bus, and it seemed like the founders were good at tech, but not great operators of buses

There's no shortage of people willing to be professors. It isn't clear that the incumbents are dramatically better than those who narrowly miss the cut. It might be that even better people are drawn to the profession (even in S

Nope. I wanted maximum interest rate duration and I'm betting that inflation will be higher than my mortgage interest rate, so it will eat more of the outstanding balance. Adjusted for inflation, my balance will be less than half wha

Find someone's resume with good formatting and copy it. Then find a good latex installation and play with it. Save copies because a compilation error in your resume will cause it to disappear

Curious how popular and effective these docs are. Massive abundance and higher standards of living mean people who write these things don't have to settle for financial reasons, so the docs get pickier and less attuned to the realities

They exist. I have a 10/1 io, at which point it becomes a 20 year amortization with a floating rate. The bet was that inflation would eat the principal down and I probably wouldn't be in the house more than 10-12 years anyway

MS has a 500+ person mailing list for peer help on kdb/q/whatever. They also have a site license, and herds of consultants from first derivatives. It is much easier to become good at k/q if you have experts sitting next to yo

I averaged 57.4 hours per week in office my last year, plus another 6 hours commuting. There wasn't a while lot of value to being there. Now the subways have gotten worse, lunch costs are even more exorbitant, and the banks have gotten
