The things the author does to go from 7K/year to a 100k/year looks awfully a lot like selling support or services.

Yes, but for the 50% of students that are not on financial aid, this must be pretty galling. These students may be rich, but a lot of them are not multimillionaire-rich. Even a family earning 200k a year will feel the pinch.

People out and about shopping or working are also more likely to be the ones spreading the virus. So even though the 20% rate may be an overestimate, if the people more likely to be 'superspreaders' are now immune, that may reduce

It is not impossible to achieve profitability. Seamless (what used to be every Wall Street Banker's go-to service) was profitable for a long while. Granted, they didn't have the same level of competition we see today.

There are a lot of small cities that are like this - Ann Arbor, New Haven, Providence, etc. Though the downside is that career opportunities are correspondingly more limited.

I would think that the craziness that led to the Dark ages would be the polar opposite - an unquestioning acceptance of all dogma, or at the very least, being scared to question

There is a substantial delay between the time of the actual trades and their filing, so any edge they might have had is long gone by the time you have access to the data.

Color me optimistic, but we'll learn to survive and adapt. Humans in temperate climates (Chicago, Toronto, etc.) already live in places where it's too cold to survive outside for long in winter. Just replace heaters with ACs in th

To add another data point, Singapore has been testing foreign workers living in dormitories extensively, uncovering about 10,000 cases (about 80% of the country's total cases). These are relatively fit individuals between the ages of 2

A disease where only symptomatic people tend to be infectious would be far easier to manage and cause lower total damage even if it were deadlier.

For purposes of college admissions, it includes everyone whose ethnicity is from an Asian country - East, Southeast and South Asians. Afghanistan is in a bit of a gray zone between the Middle East and Asia.

For context, MIT, Harvard and Stanford have all instituted mandatory pass-fail grading policies (in practice, this amounts virtually amounts to a guaranteed pass as well).

The article makes it seem like lead-free solder is indisputably healthier, but in reality the conclusion seems to be based off of just the MSDS of the products. I presume these are generated simply based on the chemical composition of the s

The intelligence required to write a piece of code =/= the intelligence required to understand it. Usually the second is a lot easier. Writing a fancy Haskell typeclass to structure a problem might require deep expertise or creativity.

I'm no expert on Indian history, but that seems implausible. Famines would only serve to increase unrest and undermine the stability of British rule. The famines seem to be more a result of neglect and mismanagement than active efforts
