A lot of you may not be aware of the deep, seething hatred a large number of Americans have for the educated elite. Not only are they perceived as having money and power now, they are blamed for the developments that take away people's

I didn’t want to be Laura Ingalls Wilder. I wanted to be a cat.

Sorry, but HTF did we get from differential equations to eMacs and Vim? (My Twitter personality is showing through.)

There is zero intuition about the Laplace Transform. It just is. Like English or Chinese.

It’s my experience that there are some people who cannot understand calculus, no matter how hard they try. The fact that they do try is often indicative of considerable talents in other areas.

I took 18.034 at MIT, just like all Physics majors. It was absurd, stupid, and the most boring class I ever had. So after the first 3 classes, I never went. Two weeks before the final, I holed up in the Student Center Library and did all

I tried “machining a Siamese cat on the lathe” but with disappointing results.

This apparently is not a fab. It is packaging/assembly. Can’t figure out why it’s this expensive, unless it’s absolutely huge. Can’t figure out why Italy for something done usually in Penang, Costa Rica, etc. Please enlighten me.

No that’s the best part.

Exactly. People’s time is too valuable when per capita GDP is $60k.

Metro/LIRR works fine, if you can tune out the aesthetics.

I regularly travel Tucson <-> Ft. Lauderdale. 2100 miles. Including ground transport, door to door is 10-12 hours.

I see no mention of 737’s and A320’s here or in most posts. Compare the price per mile with those of alternatives. The U.S. doesn’t even resemble Europe.

Explains the explosive growth of European regional and budget airlines. Especially with excellent public transportation to airports.

One-timers who got scammed. I mean there were basing women at all. (They don’t say how many of the “1%” were scam accounts or sex workers.)

Exactly my impression. That damn thing had no business anywhere near a chessboard with a person who could put his hands “inside the cage.” But this is Russia, where it’s natural to blame the kid.

I’ve woken up twice during simpler procedures. The clarity of my cognition was remarkable. The first time, in my late 30’s I was having an endoscopy of my esophagus. I woke up to find a complex, metallic, uncomfortable apparatus having take

My No. 6-1/2 Gilbert Erector set. Got it for Hanukkah about 62 years ago. The smallest set that still had the full electric engine, a plug-in motor with a gearbox fully assembled to it.

Looks like a robot that could load a 20kg bar of metal into a lathe.

I think you are right that I was immoderate.

Utter nonsense. And everybody got paid for doing this. An industrial grade picosecond laser is $150k. It has so little throughput that it must be used only for very high value products. In fairness, did anyone notice a finding in this pape

Good comment. JFK government. Reagan demanded nothing, started the stuff we’re in today, perhaps inadvertently.
