In the US, a postdoc at a top CS school makes like $60-80k and works 60-80hrs a week, whereas a new grad of the same caliber with just a bachelors (think top 10% of graduating class) can reasonably expect to make >$200k working 40 hours

There are extreme barriers to entry for airplane manufacturing. You can’t just get a couple million dollars from some VC and have an MVP 747 in 6 months. There’s a reason that only 2.5 (.5 being COMAC) companies in the world that produce co

Did the study measure revealed opinions, or does it just measure stated opinions? I would expect many participants, upon hearing that they were paid to watch CNN, would become primed to think that the study creators are expecting to see les

Are there any technologies in the works that will solve the charge time problem for EVs? Even with current quick charge, it’s pretty terrible UX to have to stop for an hour every 100 miles. Even stopping for that long every 200-300 miles is

This is already the system. Brokers have no impact on the application process. It's all credit checks, which is basically the same thing as "AI from a company".

If they bring permanent change to the market and lead to the elimination of rental brokers entirely, I don't care what replaces it.

Presumably the loan period is quite long, and someone has some amount of income, so monthly payments are tiny. You can keep refinancing indefinitely until you die, after which your descendants can do a one-time liquidation (paying no cap ga

There should be pretty strict regulation for fission reactor development, simply because radioactive materials in runaway reactions can have totally uncontrollable, millennia-spanning consequences. Very few other technologies have this pote

This is very similar to Modern Monetary Theory, which views taxation as a means to control inflation rather than a source of funds for a sovereign government. Maybe only applies to a country whose currency is the reserve currency of the wor

It's not an education problem. It's an ideology problem. A huge fraction of the country has basically lost all faith in public and academic institutions. In these polarized times, when many leaders that institution-skeptics listen

Even when a community has herd immunity, there are still individuals who won't have immunity within that group. Anyone who comes into the community with the virus can still spread it locally to the people around them - herd immunity on

We understand and can certify how bridges are constructed. Someone from the government can come in and check your work reasonably quickly and make sure it’s up to code. There’s a “trust” step and a “verify” step. And it often takes a lot of

I hear what you're saying, but I would push back a bit that the gun purchase vs. voting analogy needs a bit more nuance. There's ALSO a long tradition that individual rights enumerated in the Constitution+Amendments are not absolu

Because the larger an organization grows, the fewer and fewer shared values employees in a company have. A small organization can be very value-driven: ideology is easily aligned between 10 people that have selected one another directly. At
