Knoxville has a lot going for it too.

I agree. CIS/FAIR/NumbersUSA have been telling the exact same thing for 30 years now. Why not believe them?

Dust and water issues are present in Arizona too. As someone who did their undergrad engineering in India, I suspect the reason is different - India has no materials science talent. Because there are only a few universities teaching the sub

The H1B visa count is capped. It cannot be increased.

Same here. One party calls all post 1965 immigrants unwanted and the other doesn't. The choice is made for me

Yeah, this is like HUAC Vol 2. Hopefully, we do not repeat that shameful period again.

And when it comes to materials science, Penn State will run circles around all of them.

Stanford and Berkeley are amazing, Caltech is definitely tier 2, while Harvey Mudd is not even an R2 school
102.
by N1H1L 5y ago
I will take Stanford and the UCs. Every other school in that list comes below the Midwestern powerhouses
103.
by N1H1L 5y ago
Not really. There is a whole wide world outside CS - mechanical, chemical, materials. And while Berkeley, Stanford, UCSB are amazing in them Caltech for example is not and is just over hyped.

Penn State is actually US's largest engineering school by undergraduates.

Both Columbus and Cincy are great. Cleveland is iffy and too snowy in my opinion

The midwest has some of the greatest engineering schools in the nation. I have been beating this drum hoarse for a few years now - but it's true. Specifically, members of the Big 10 conference are probably the best engineering schools

Slavery is not alcohol, and equating the two is a very obvious strawman argument
110.
by N1H1L 5y ago
Yep. You don't have to go that far. A decade back it was thought that red meat causes cancer, specifically intestinal cancer. Lots of health guidelines reflected that. It has all fallen apart in the last 2-3 years.

Isn't it more of an American phenomenon though - because of the country's puritan roots?

We have been consuming alcohol long before we even became Homo - even 10 million years back we were seeking out rotting fruits on the forest floor.

The fact that so many materials science PhDs are on their board is very interesting.

The complexity of modern supply chains is in my opinion the strongest case for government regulations and against a lot of libertarian economic ideas. It is impossible for the end-consumer, and even a lot of producers to know the provenance

by N1H1L 5y ago
That's still a huge disparity.

> No, it has nothing to do with economics. It included a doctor making $ 650,000 p. a. as well as a group that traveled to DC on a private jet. People forget this a lot - and try to ignore it consistently.

It is in fact the first feature - conservatism is almost always focused on preventing changes to a current identity from multiculturalism and cosmopolitan forces

by N1H1L 5y ago
The US is not the world. US politics were deeply identitarian too first of all, Jim Crow Laws, Civil Rights Act and desegregation were explicitly identity based and not economic. And then as other posters have mentioned - hundreds of nation

The reason for their shotgun approach is because Google is still too academia adjacent. Which is why a cash blow-up like DeepMind that publishes a Nature or a Science paper is the perfect Google company. In academia, you get kudos for s
