There’s a calculator here: https://college.harvard.edu/financial-aid/net-price-calculat... But it doesn’t seem to have been updated yet, because I put in income of $200k and assets of $0 and still got less than a full

Code is human readable text. Authors should craft it with care. The linter people are hypercorrectionalists of the type that would change “to boldly go where no man has gone before!” because it’s a split infinitive.

Inflation is down and the economy is doing better, but what's the point when poverty rates just skyrocketed to over 50% of the population [1]? Will it "trickle down", like it never did anywhere? This seems not true. The poo

I found being in the US east coast in teams spread across Europe and the US to have the advantage of being able to touch base with anyone fairly easily but the disadvantage of never getting that natural quiet period. I don’t see how us east

There’s a lot of different ways to be miserable in this world but one in particular that seems to hit a lot of people in our industry is not knowing what you want. So many people followed a path laid out by others for so long—-study hard, d

The problem is there is no official path. Contrast a new marriage. The government issues a conditional permanent residency and then two years later an application can be filed to remove the condition. It’s a similar story with the investor’

The more fundamental issue is that it’s legally a temporary visa program even though no one uses it that way. The law even acknowledges this with the dual intent doctrine. If we are going to reform things we might as well scrap the visa alt

You don’t want to be hard on the outside, soft on the inside. Especially because you probably aren’t that hard on the outside! Defense in depth.

Still too small for that. It’s barely bigger than an amuse bouche. I think this must be a tasting portion, maybe a cooking school thing or similar.

Or just use less water to cook the pasta? What’s the downside?

The big question here is if journal space is a limited resource. Obviously it was at one point. Supposing it is, you have to trade off publishing these incremental results against publishing someone else’s complete result. What if it had ta

This seems reasonable? Suppose the full result is worth 7 impact points, which is broken up into 5 points for the partial result and 2 points for the fix. The journal has a threshold of 6 points for publication. Had the authors held the pap

There’s been times and places in American history without visible street homeless. So I don’t think I’m setting an unreasonable bar for effective.

I suggest you peruse Matthew 7:5. I have nothing further to say to you.

I was there a little under a decade and saw plenty of vagrants. Not comparable to sf or anything but they were there. If you’ve cleared it all up since then, kudos. But I don’t think it’s because public services were underfunded back then.

The main issue I've seen is that public services are underfunded. How do you explain Vancouver or Stockholm’s homeless populations? Those famously underfunded Swedish and Canadian welfare states? Some people just can’t wait to spend

I’ve been to Salt Lake City. They have street homeless.

We spend an enormous amount of money. Unfortunately most of it goes to well meaning, but ineffectual do-gooders rather than actually solving any problems. Voters very much want a compassionate and effective solution. They just aren’t being

But our reporting shows there are more effective and compassionate ways for cities to deal with these issues. Their reporting did no such thing. Neither the article itself nor the linked guide have any case study naming a single city tryi

Yes I get that but did OpenAI ever take any public donations from society? I don't think they did. It thought it was only funded by wealthy private donors. They received benefits by dint of their status. If there were no such benefit

the original non-profit and profit structure was a mistake that was based on what they thought they knew at the time. (They thought they could be a "research" firm.) There’s no slavery here. If Sam decided it was a mistake to de

Nope, this isn’t being driven by any shareholders. The lawyers want a big payday and found a client of convenience. If they win they’ll ask the count for a percentage of the value of the judgment using an innumerate formula for value.

We should get rid of derivative lawsuits. There’s plenty of money sloshing around in the securities space. Lawyers can work with activist investors to pay their bills if there’s a real case. But the system of suing on behalf of shareholders

Because the ceo of a public company tweeted about it. If it was a professor at mit people wouldn’t jump to that conclusion.
