The tweet only breaks it into 2 buckets (<500 and >500 enrollment), but the the number of students enrolled in Econ, Biology (MCDB or MB&B at Yale), History and Computer Science is about 10-50x more than the ones towards the botto

500k gets you a very nice house in Chicago. If you were to rent instead, 5k/month would get you a luxury 2 bed room apartment close to the Magnificent mile.

If a job requires that you run 100m in 12 seconds, your local champion runner can do it as well as Usain Bolt. Most jobs might be like that in terms of the cognitive ability required for success. Beyond that, other differentiating factors m

Offline is still very much a thing: https://support.duolingo.com/hc/en-us/articles/4410000601869... . Maybe you just had a bug?

The 40% number can be a bit misleading because most are not George Bush types. In the 21st century, they mostly tend to be smart and ambitious students who are children of Ivy league educated professionals. These kids have been raised in an
