What are the significant differences between these two families that we shouldn't pretend to gloss over? I grew up extremely poor, my father making around 18k a year at the time he was required to provide his tax statements for a student lo

My thesis was the opposite of your statement; those at the cut-off point are not travelling, they are not eating a nice restaurants, and they do not have kids let alone kids in good schools. They are working longer and harder than they did

Consdier any family of two engineers in silicon valley. If they graduated from college and joined successful companies, after a decade or so they will be making over 150k each, for a family income of 300k. But yet they still work 50+ hours

Well, not to be a complete fool =D But those who would not want to be around when your having fun are probably the same people you would not around you at work. That's not exactly right, but there's a hint of truth in it.

the total freedom to make a complete fool of yourself and others without anyone caring one bit even 10 minutes from now. It's all just so liberating and awesome, the kind of freedom one can rarely get anymore. You are free to live every d

This doesn't contradict the previous post. Evolution may have resulted in a mix of adaptive neural physiology and the lack of self-awareness. But perhaps the latter is tempered as a result of the acquisition of language.

Do one well, and follow it through to a level of completion that you are happy with. Afterward, decide if you want to iterate and if not move to the next. As for your work, contract, and other ideas you need to prioritize. If you need to

A pet theory of mine is that those with low self-awareness and lowered inhibitions are the fastest learners. The positive way of saying this is that those who are not afraid of making mistakes will learn the most. By their willingness or i

I prefer without comments, but would like some mechanism by which comment scores affect layout. It is often now difficult to process a large discussion, as high signal and low signal replies are indistinguishable. For instance, having pred

I've seen data on student suggesting that 90% of the laptops on certain campuses are OSX, a complete inversion from 10 years ago. This was coupled with an increase in computer ownership by students moving up to 100%.

Excellent write up. Instead of only the BTree vs. BTree durable comparison in qps, I think it would be helpful to add plots with the following information: 1) Increase in write speed gained from batching. Specifically, in section 3 you men

I would argue that the inclusion of Applesoft BASIC in the Apple ][ line was the most beneficial thing to happen to the tech field in the 80s. Perhaps at the time it was simply a way to get traction from homebrew hobbyists. But the impact

I would bet that will happen with Google android devices which will be coming integrated in high end vehicles, such as the Tesla S1000. Then hopefully, these will trickle down the stack to mainstream vehicles.
