If the graphic example shows parallax scrolling, I don’t see it. It looks utterly flat to me.

Unless you work for the government. I fell for the free enterprise shtick, hook, line, and sinker, but everyone with a good government job did better than me. I’m talking, $150k to $200k PENSIONS in two cases. Even the divorced secretary of

I remember my skinny, somewhat pinched in-her-late 50’s calculus teacher drawing perfect huge circles on the blackboard in less than a second, using her double-jointed shoulder as the pivot. I had been warned about this by my buddy who hah

You’re right somewhere in here. I’m certainly wrong about the 50’s. Columbia was a bastion of antisemitism until the 70’s, it had the world’s best Physics Dept. for a long time, but frittered it away. Meanwhile, Cornell built a world-class

We have reverted to cabs at Ft Lauderdale airport — Uber and Lyft drivers were often late, clueless, or had trunks stuffed with junk. The price was not appreciably more. Capitalism self-corrects, if no player is allowed to game the system.

Columbia’s downfall began in a single moment in the early 50’s. When I.I. Rabi refused to let a poor Mr. Bader go to grad school in Physics part time so he could help his family out by working. Mr. Bader later became Feynman’s high school

It is important to note that schools teach mannerisms and expectation. The undergrad curriculum in Physics at MIT and a good state school are hardly dissimilar.

I’ve suspected this. There was always some seed corn of this type at MIT, even in the old days. I got SB, 1968-72. Hacker was a new word, and nerd was often spelled with a “u.” It would have been unthinkable to try to prosecute Jonathan S

Academia does not equal economics, a field where a Nobel Prize winner ran a multibillion dollar hedge fund into the ground, and economists can’t agree on whether a person deserves healthcare.

I eat what I crave. When it has too many calories, I know it, and I cut back some in the next 24 hours.

Globalization did not ‘rob’ the Midwest or ‘sucked it dry’ or whatever. Anymore than than the Asian economies were BEING robbed and sucked dry by the Midwest before the switch. See what I mean? Capital is bidirectional and always has been.

Construction is simply an economic activity, not “life.” At least not any more ‘life’ than say music, or physics,machining, the Grateful Dead, etc. As an economic activity, it has fluctuating valuations in asset values, prices, profitabilit

Try 1960 surgery sometime. Or 1960 chemo, or cardio imaging, if you’re really unlucky. Or 1960 airfares or jet engines. Or 1960 machine shop equipment. The last 30 years? I can exhaustively research a technical subject at home, without ge

In evaluating stocks, I always view a well-written analysis that is signed by a person who has obviously put some honest work into it, and I know, from my own research TO BE OBVIOUSLY WRONG, as an extremely bullish indicator for that stock.

Never walk into a BANK and apply for a loan. Use one, or better, a number of mortgage brokers. Make a spreadsheet. Add in all garbage fees. Estimate the life of the loan. Now calculate real APR. Points and garbage fees dominate if you’re
