I wouldn't take this as an indicator in general that online classes are good or bad (I'm personally not a fan). I think everyone can agree that the quality of classes is going to go down when you have to stop in-person classes mid

And that's the problem. Malcolm Gladwell has a great podcast about this focusing on Bowdoin college. Bowdoin (apparently) spends a lot of money on luxuries like great food for the dorms, etc. As a result, the rich kids who can afford i

I think it's time to decouple education from all of the other things tied to colleges. When I studied abroad in Australia, things like the gym or meal plans were available, but not "bundled in" to your tuition. The idea of ty

I was responding specifically to this comment that says "look at the Dow Jones instead of the S&P" to make a point that it's the same issue. I agree with parent overall in that I'm surprised the market is holding up

In my opinion, the camera is the distinguishing feature that puts the top players above the rest. Yes, a high end flagship phone uses nicer materials, faster processors and all that jazz, but most of that stuff doesn't really justify t

Some of the comments here are missing the point. Yes, Sweden has more deaths than it's neighbors. But obviously that's true... they didn't lock down. The issue is that lockdowns can only last so long. The initial hope was tha

I think a lot of people take open-source to mean "oh, I'll make a project that does something cool in my own time and throw it up on github and everyone can see the code." And sometimes this works. If you are (to take an extr

With a $2 trillion bailout, it's inevitable that some of the money gets misdirected. Even with the best oversight (and Trump fired the person in charge of oversight), at this scale, significant amounts of money will be mis-allocated an

Of course. Remote developers tend to be more senior. Once you control for that, I'd be surprised if this still holds true, given that the FAANGs tend to pay a high share of the highest salaries and they tend to not allow remote work.
