Sounds crazy. Are there any real estate brokers who can do this job for you?

I am not sure if there is any meaningful number of single-family homes in Manhattan. If you consider townhouses they are definitely more than $3500, even in Harlem.

Yes, I do have a daughter. I have never said that babies do not recognize their fathers. It is just that their attachment to mother is usually more important in their first few years of life.

Please see my response to previous comment. I am not sure about gay parents, there is probably not enough research data available yet.

Here is an overview: http://www.thelizlibrary.org/liz/APA-Monitor-attachment.html However, I see that there is nothing in the article specifically about primary caregiver being female. To summarize, it is better to have one primary caregi

JshWright, congratulations! I am sure you are going to be a great father. That said, you cannot be a mother to your child. Your roles now are approximately equal, but they will inevitably change over time. Feeding and changing diapers is en

Father's primary impact is in his genetic material. Secondary impact is his parenting impact which starts to matter mostly after child is 2 years old. Before that, from conception to birth to 2 years, mother is much more important.

All the companies you are mentioning are very hard to get into for an average guy without connections. Also, it is university and your network that matters, not your place in class.

110k 3 years out of college is very rare in NYC as well. EDIT: It is certainly not unheard of, but only for top graduates. Also, I see you were talking about equivalent 110k salary in Toronto which would be 130-140k in New York. This is a h

As I understand the book is not out yet, so I still have to see these "cast-iron" analyses. Surely it would be interesting to have a look. The problem that I see here is that by removing all social and cultural context we will lose some gen

Points 1-2 are valid, though intelligence is not entirely genetic. Your points 3-5 are completely wrong. Genetics determines race, not the other way around. Points 4 and 5 are just meaningless "racist" phrases, not statements in a line of r

It is a limiting factor for many tasks, even such "simple" tasks as basic algebra and calculus. A lot of people fail at math simply because they do not have enough brainpower.

And still IQ is very good at predicting various life outcomes: probabliity of being arrested, income, number of children. Group differences in IQ do exist, and Flynn effect does not make them go away. Flynn effect increases scores across th

Do you work 9 to 5, or do you take your work home with you? This, again, is completely independent of what degree you have. How you structure your priorities and your work to get it done within sane hours, and while maintaining some sort o

I agree in general, but easy fizzbuzz-type questions are not the main problem with interviewing process by far. There are just too many people who almost cannot write code, including CS PhDs.

This looks more like US/NY attorneys' initiative. It is a case that has gotten a lot of coverage and they do not want it to end with their defeat.

I am sorry, but this guy is an idiot. He is referring this study: http://www.conferenceboard.ca/hcp/hot-topics/caninequality.a... It has a chart of INFLATION-ADJUSTED median after-tax income in 2009 dollars, from 1976 to 2009. He then tak

1. Why do you doubt it? There are very good public schools in US. But the variance is very high, so the bad schools are very bad, which brings the average down.

This guy comes off as a cynical MBA, and he actually is one. His valid points are: - big data is overhyped - potential benefits are likely smaller than you think (this is true for most new technologies) BUT: - he seems unaware about modern

I am of opinion that if demand is high enough, companies will start hiring "halfway there" people. But this will happen only if the market grows big enough. Right now it is still a niche market where companies are cherry-picking right candi

All mathematics consists of rigorous models. But choosing and tweaking a model is more of an art. Most data scientists apply existing models to new data, they do not develop new ones. I am sure it takes much less than "years" for any smart

Look, this job title is at most 2 years old. How can someone have years of experience in this? OTOH, there are plenty of people with strong applied math and good programming skills.

The problem as I see it is that most companies are looking for the all-in-one perfect candidate. There is indeed a shortage of such people. Say you need someone who knows a lot about Hadoop and Amazon EC and is also intimately familiar with
