Fetishization of objectivity It's a great concept, and is often what irritates people. I work at a national lab, and senior management is absolutely obsessed with metrics, often to the detriment of the purpose of the organization its

Parts of my company have come back onsite, while other parts are still WFH. There really has been no rubric for bringing people back to work, but rather how political or aggressive different division heads have been. But you know what? It c

I was visiting one of the dams at TVA yesterday. It was a beautiful day for running on the river trails, and because this is 2020 and I am addicted to my cellphone - I was looking up on the Wikipedia article on TVA. TVA is a huge, massive b

Also, at that time there was a big tension between US and Iran. This is around the same timeframe that Iran shot down it's own civilian aircraft. So I really won't blame any MSM here - the Iran story was obviously the bigger story

Well didn't how Yahoo die to a certain extent? I remember back when Google first came on the scene - we were all using Yahoo. Yahoo was an ad-filled ungodly mess, while Google was clean and fast . People switched over really fast.

Exactly. The difference between Amazon and Uber is immense. Amazon's core business has been comfortably profitable for over a decade now. They invest those profits to diversify their business. However, Uber's core business has nev

> I don't know anybody who learned math or physics outside of a college classroom. In fact, I will go one further. Almost all self-taught physicists I have met are kooks - bonkers crazy conspiracy theorists.

They were just around 10-20 atoms that were inside graphene holes. They were technically the first, but I have big doubts about their scalability. The new work I was mentioning comes from Josh Robinson's lab at Penn State - the same gu

The number for gold leaf cannot be right. The unit cell spacing for gold is around 0.4 nm. At 0.1nm you will have monolayer gold. By the way, the first monolayer metals were synthesized just last year, and published this March in Nature Mat

Not really. Academia has it's share of assholes, but the probability distribution of encountering assholes is pretty similar outside of academia too. Thing is, it can be very brutal if you are flaky. It has a very low tolerance for bul

Specialty fields yes. But Princeton engineering is ordinary, and the state schools often have exceptional faculty across multiple departments - leading to way more collaborative, cutting-edge work.

The food in the Bay Area was bland? And there were no hiking/camping opportunities? The Bay Area definitely has some problems - but a lot of your complaints are untethered from reality.
