I wasn't aware that "elite of the elite" included many public schools that aren't even that difficult to get into. If you're a California resident UCSD, UCI, UCB, UCLA, UCSB are all accessible schools that give you

I went to a public in-state school with poor parents. Full need-based financial aid in school. I made 6 figures out of school and currently make the big numbers you claim are impossibly rare. You claim that not everyone is intelligent enoug

Coincidentally government transfer payments funded by deficit spending reached a new low for the year [1]. I'd also add CPI underestimates true inflation because it uses hedonic adjustments, but in real life consumers don't keep b

Poor people are making _nominal_ income gains. Their real income is actually declining because wage gains aren't keeping up with inflation despite a red hot labor market. It's almost like rents rise to match incomes unless you bui

It would be plausible, but if you examine the historical enrollment numbers it's clear that CMU expanded their CS program around the exact time that their female representation went to 50%. In essence they created more spots reserved f

In the long run, it frees up the hardware manufacturer to make big changes that benefit the user. For example one of the reasons Apple was able to pull off the Arm transition was because they didn't have years of backward compatibility

At least in the US, most schools practice either explicitly or implicitly (through adjusted admissions criteria) affirmative action towards women for STEM subjects. That's the case even for subjects like Biology where the gender ratio

And enterprise apps are notorious for being stagnant and difficult to use. Not the newfangled SaaS stuff but the legacy stuff that has the SLAs you're talking about. Apple's decision to break apps that don't update is a user-

If you think about what 1970s "middle income" jobs looked like, they were mostly factory jobs that paid well. Nowadays those jobs don't exist due to deindustrialization. So you can't really blame that income inequality o

It looks like the contracted amount from Kacific was 1 Gbps and the previous fiber cable was offering 10 Gbps. It doesn't seem implausible that a single prioritized Starlink Premium terminal could deliver at least 1 Gbps and that would

Capturing and punishing thieves has a deterring effect on other thieves. Police spending resources to get "your $200 headphones back" saves more than just the $200 headphones, since usually thieves are repeat offenders and it disc

There's no need for that. Rideshare drivers' pay overwhelmingly goes to cost of labor rather than fuel or maintenance, especially in big cities. Uber/Lyft take another 25-40% from the gross fare the passenger pays. Cruise wil
