Societies with high human capital respect the dead and won't seize upon the first opportunity to rob their graves (rationalizing as "learning" or whatever doesn't cut it). There's plenty of other material that was w

Not really. US using implicit financial coercion is no better than Belarus using their air-force. Clearly a larger display of corruption.

The thing is, if you instead did that the management would be more likely to pick up on the distastefulness and pass you over. "Playing the game" appears to be a rationalization of favoritism. The game is rigged in favor of some

The anti-competitive behavior, surveillance capitalism, oligarch moves didn't tip you off?

Don't think their infrastructure would cost 30% without their duopoly, e.g. ten non-colluding platforms of equal market share and abiding by interoperability regulations. 5% and no draconian content policy enforcement?

Late exposure to higher mathematics sounds perfectly plausible. Someone getting into sports at 15 is rarely going to compete with those that started at 10, assuming equal innate talent. The same principle applies to academics. Would be nice

Yes, management consulting at the local offices of the "big 4". Starting comp in MC something like 60k/yr (whereas IB is double). More high end opportunities than other career paths certainly, but it's much less top heav

I keep hearing this but in my country iẗ́s just not true. Yes you needed to go to the right school (most difficult part but not difficult) an maintain a 3.5 (what they advertised) or even a 3.0 GPA (what they ended up accepting) and join a

I thought it was about becoming the next Steve Jobs, as in billionaire founder. They tend to grow up with great privilege. Evidently there are great obstacles for the middle class, such as favoritism for the already affluent. As in any coun

No normal person is investigated like that. Why make things up? Spending tens of millions on case of violating the ... Bail Act of 1976? It's obvious political persecution. Dodging jurisprudence, that's rich. His Swedish accusers

An equivalent claim could also be that some collection of 3-line Python scripts is among the most important accomplishments in computer science and engineering. Being clearly trivial, it probably isn't that great. So another possibilit
