I believe you are making the assumption that doctors are pocketing this money (or at least much of it). I am not saying that you are wrong, but I am saying that you need to identify this as an assumption and re-examine it. (As it turns out,

It depends on what you're working on. If you're working at the cutting edge, you will find that Google often doesn't have the answers you need... simply because they aren't out there.

Wow, that's ambitious, but I never put it past a Ph.D. to do something like this. Let us know if you actually succeed!

It seems to me that there are a lot of efforts around making the front-end easier to understand. I think there needs to be at least one project that touches upon the back-end in a way that doesn't trivialize it. There is not even one si

Great work! Might I offer a suggestion? I would argue that most of the work that goes into a compiler is not the front-end functionality but rather the "middle-" and back-end functionality, i.e. making the generated code fast. It would be v

It's really cool how you're able to complete homework while you're watching video. Can you get into more detail about how you're able to do this? My roadblocks to doing this would be that I wouldn't be able to pay attention to what's going

Haha, yes, I agree. 2:30 would probably be run at the pinnacle of one's amateur career -- a personal best rather than a typical time. I do want to point out somewhat pedantically that it takes being in better-than-2:30 shape to run 2:30 on

2:30 is an eternity away from 2:03:38. I am not thinking of dabblers; many people will do marathons after having barely trained. The goal for these people is just to finish. I think 2:30 is achievable for a healthy, moderately talented man

Triathlon training really isn't just tacking together the training you would do for all three sports; this would be impossible. Instead, it is doing the same amount of training as you would do if you were doing one of the three sports exclu

I wholeheartedly agree that exercise increases the ability to focus at work. I would even go as far to say that people who are not doing it are leaving some latent ability at the table. This is also true of sleep and nutrition, not just exe

Indeed. But the converse is also untrue: Not everything that people post on the Internet has a basis in reality. I know many people who went to other universities, and many do not appear to have a similar concept: For example, there are pro

Out of curiosity, I typed "duck syndrome" into Google. The only relevant links on the first page pertain to "duck syndrome" at Stanford. Maybe the term is beginning to catch on elsewhere?
